Toxic Masculinity (Part 2)
Show Notes

Welcome to Episode 18 of Series 2, where we finish our dive into toxic masculinity on a high by having our very first interview with the awesome Alex Shafiro. We talk about his experiences in the corporate world, specifically how his work as a designer in the construction industry has put him in front of very toxic behaviours. We asked how he makes space for women in his workplace, what he feels like toxic male behaviour in the workplace looks like and how he it makes him feel when he runs up against it. Alex gives us his views on, and understanding of, toxic masculinity and we were so grateful to him for his candor, his sense of humor and his patience. We hope you love listening to this conversation as much as we loved having it.
