I also discuss the importance of the father-son dynamic as well as the importance of men to be challenged and to live on their 'edge'. Lastly, enjoy a wonderful sample of music by Denise Hagan in her track 'The Life You've Been Dying To Live'. For more information, please go to www.embracingchange.org]]></description>
