ABOUT BRAD
Keynote Speaker & Mental Health Advocate
Brad Gage is a New York-based speaker, video producer and mental health advocate. His engagement in masculinity and gender dynamics began in 2019 after he found out a friend of his had abused women in his community. Through understanding the signs of abuse, and the larger issues of the male dominance hierarchy, Brad leaned into educating himself and other men about how to embrace empathy and cooperation more in their lives.
Brad’s educational podcast Explain Things to Me was one of iTunes’ “Best of 2015”. He currently hosts the web series and podcast Real Feels about men’s self-improvement and freeing ourselves from harmful gender roles.
Brad was recently featured in NAMI’s best-selling book “You Are Not Alone” talking about men’s relationships with therapy and gender roles. His latest video essays cover topics of restorative justice, social conditioning, and whether or not Joe Rogan understands toxic masculinity.
