Society has perpetuated the idea that masculinity is connected to animal consumption and preying on the weak.

Luckily, there are men like Dominick Thompson actively challenging that belief.

After going to prison more than seventeen years ago, Dominick had an epiphany about what it means to cause harm in the world.

He is now a social entrepreneur and activist with an online wellness program, vegan clothing line, and upcoming food product line.

Dominick joins us today to discuss the realization he made in prison, the similarities between our culture’s treatment of prisoners and animals, and why we must redefine masculinity as a compassionate trait.
