About this episode

When Being a Good Man Isn't Enough Guest: Cory HarrisWhat happens when you're able to lead, mentor, and pour into everyone around you but the relationships closest to you are the ones that hurt the most?Cory Harris joins The Bloom Effect for a raw conversation about fatherhood, family, discipline, masculinity, forgiveness, and reflection. From owning a barbershop where the men he mentored went on to become owners themselves, to confronting the complicated relationships he now has with his own children, Cory opens up about the difference between what we intend to give people and how they actually experience us.This conversation asks a difficult question: Can you be a genuinely good man, make a powerful impact on the world, and still have places in your own life where you need to grow?A conversation about the people who shape us, the people we shape, the hurt we carry and having the courage to look inward when being “good” doesn't seem to be enough.
