Emotional intelligence doesn\\u2019t come natural for many people, no matter the circumstances, but it\\u2019s especially missing in a lot of men. I\\u2019ve noticed this especially true for myself, where I was unwilling to be uncomfortable feeling my emotions. It made me feel weak, or childish, or \\u201cfeminine.\\u201d

But why is something as natural as our emotions something we try to hide?

I talk to a good friend, Ryan Shirley, co-founder of Pursuit and Tie, about how important of a role EQ plays in business/client service, marriage, and friendships, as well as what it means for men to manage our emotions.
