My goal with this podcast is to provide you with authentic conversations with men who by no means have everything figured out, but are trying their best to live out the life they’ve been called to. No one’s perfect and nobody’s ever operating at a 10 out of 10 in every area of their life 100% of the time, it’s just not real. So surrounding yourself with other people that you can emulate, go through life together and mentor is vital. Putting yourself out there requires vulnerability and humility....

Today’s episode is a continuation of our conversations on manhood and masculinity as we continue to gain more perspectives that shape our idea of who we are as men and who we want to be.

We all have wounds, whether self-inflicted or afflicted by others. We go through life not fully realizing how our wounds affect us and those around us. But, as men, we’re also not always shown and taught healthy ways to deal with them. And until we fully realize who we are and those wounds are a part of who we are, we can’t fully be ourselves. This week, I am rolling solo. I wanted to take some time to share some of my heart with you and ​​share a little bit of experience that I believe will be...

Today’s episode is a continuation of the discussions that we’re having around manhood and masculinity. It’s far less about how to be more of a man, or “here’s how I built my business on manhood and masculinity,” and much more about the intricacies of men living the lives that they are, and how those experiences have revealed to them opportunities to live the life that God has called them to, as a man in the world today. This week, I’m joined by Scott D Speight – chaplain in the military, as wel...

In this episode, I am joined by my good friend Aaron Walker, founder of Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind, author, and businessman. We talk a...

There are some conversations that we as men need to have, but we don’t because it requires openness, vulnerability, and transparency.
