On this episode of Knowing Me, Knowing You, Trent is joined once again by Dan Brophy, founder of The Men’s Circle, this time to talk about the importance of connection and community for queer people.
Utilising Dan’s experience and expertise running The Men’s Circle, the boys discuss:

* The role of authentic connection,
* Why connection and community are important for us,
* How we can cultivate and maintain connection with others,
* The importance of investing in quality connections,
* The need for self-connection in order to connect with others,
* Where the queer community is at with connecting to themselves & others,
* The benefits of diversifying our community, as well as
* Practical solutions to connecting with ourselves and seeking out community.
