My guest today is George Dawson – founder of Male Movement, The Warriors Movement, and Heart Runs Deep. Through these platforms, George has built spaces for men to explore vulnerability, emotional depth, healing, and connection.
From organizing transformative men’s circles to leading community ice dips, George’s work is rooted in personal experience, deep self-inquiry, and a mission to create safe spaces where men can reconnect with themselves and each other.
In this episode, we dive into George’s origin story, what led him to create Male Movement, and the lessons he’s learned about identity, resilience, and purpose. We explore the myths surrounding masculinity, the importance of community and emotional work, and how practices like cold therapy and ritual can create powerful transformation.
