I discuss the importance of redefining manhood, especially in light of the recent domestic violence tragedies. I also discuss why we should get more comfortable with the word disability and how Mark never let other's preconceptions limit him. I also reflect on the power of storytelling and why I support his push for everyone to share their authentic story.
