What if changing masculinity… started with something as simple as painted nails? In this episode of Who’s Elvis Around Here?, Chris sits down with author, entrepreneur, and rule-breaker Sam Conniff for a surprising, thought-provoking conversation about identity, culture, and the hidden rules we all live by.
What begins as a trip to a Harry Styles concert with his daughter quickly turns into something much bigger — a nationwide experiment with hundreds of men, challenging ideas of masculinity and unlocking conversations many have never had before.This episode dives into:
- Why small acts of rule-breaking can create big cultural shifts
- What the “man box” is — and how it shapes behaviour
- Why men expected backlash… and what actually happened
- The link between uncertainty, anxiety, and human potential
- How leaders can unlock creativity by embracing the unknown
