How Men Think About Love, Belonging and Connection Alex R. Holmes We live in a super-connected world, yet men specifically, struggle to connect and share. This is changing... but not quickly enough. Award-winning podcaster Alex Holmes sets out to accelerate this shift, debunking lingering myths around masculinity, love and connection. Sharing his experiences on his podcast and as a young British black man, Time to Talk is a reminder of the urgent need for as many voices as possible (whether expert or not) to join in the quest to get more people – men in particular – to talk about the things that matter in life.
