Author and modern masculinity advocate Kelvin Davis joins us to explore the difference between being a “nice guy” and being a good man. Drawing from his upcoming book, Kelvin shares seven transformative principles—from setting boundaries to self-respect—that challenge performative niceness and promote authentic integrity. We dive into how social media often rewards superficial validation over sincere action, and why honest communication matters more than ever. Kelvin reflects on his inspiring journey—from a childhood dream sparked by a JCPenney ad to founding Notoriously Dapper, overcoming body-shaming, and building a modeling career rooted in body positivity and self-worth. He opens up about personal growth through therapy, quitting alcohol, and reevaluating relationships during the pandemic. This candid conversation highlights the power of self-reflection, discipline, and internal validation. Whether you're navigating modern relationships or redefining your role as a man, this episode offers grounded insight into becoming the kind of man who leads with honesty, respect, and purpose.
