Husband, traveler, actor, speaker, teacher, podcaster, learner, activist, coach, healer, and author are all words that could be used to accurately describe Andy Grant. As impressive as these are, though, they don't even scratch the surface of who he is....

He's been dubbed the King of Authenticity because of the transparent ways in which he presents himself and his emotional journey. He certainly lives up to that moniker in this conversation!...

He's an inspiration to men all over the world because he teaches us that it's ok to be emotional, it's ok to be expressive, and that a "real" man is anything a man is. We're not confined to the box of societal expectations. *We're beautiful and powerful even when we're in tears.*...
