A short talk by Cameron Herold arguing that men should be more willing to express feelings, seek help (e.g., therapy), and accept vulnerability. He contrasts contemporary male openness with older generations (1950s–60s), emphasizes that asking for help benefits both the asker and the helper, and encourages men to ‘tap into’ sharing and emotional communication.

I don't know if that's true. Sounds good. But women tend to share. Someone's gonna write in and tell us. Women tend to share, like, women talk to each other and they communicate about their fears and their worries and their insecurities and their frustrations, and they kind of work through it all. Guys need to tap into that a little bit more and be okay with that. It feels to me like it's starting more, or maybe I'm just opening up to it more, but it feels like men are more than we were maybe back in the 50s in our parents generation or 60s, you know, it's okay to say, I'm going to a therapist. Men are allowed to have feelings, and we're allowed to actually express them, and we're allowed to get help for it. And then realize that when you ask for help, it's kind of like this, can you help me? When the person comes in, it feels amazing. Right. And we're also. If you don't ask someone else for hug or for help, you're kind of robbing them of the chance to help you. Right? That's a good point. Yeah.
