The Build: Hating Part of Yourself

Too many podcasts about man this and only a real man eats that. This is great advise and parameters for VIRTUES and INTENTIONALITY resulting in noble manhood. Stephen Mansfield’s phrasing and energy makes this an enjoyable podcast. Tailored to men, he keeps this short and sweet. A “must” download.

Practical, Applicable Advise and Guidelines for Manhood

I’ve been doing “manly” things my whole life and thought I had a good handle on what it all means.  
However, every single one of Mansfield’s podcasts give me new inspiring and encouraging truths to consider about manhood, honor, legacy, a man’s spirit, our influence and our responsibilities.  
Mansfield does all this respectfully, honestly, truthfully and all with the heart of truly wanting to help all men gain back what we’ve lost in our quest for masculinity.   
Though he professes to be a Christian, he doesn’t preach to me or demean any non-Christians or faiths in any way.  
Yet, he’s authentic and unapologetic about his beliefs and transparent as a “man in the making”, which we all are.  
I hope all men will catch Mansfield’s vision and follow his lead, he’s a dying breed and our manly leadership choices out there are becoming scarce and lack character/honesty.   Thanks Stephen!!

My questions about manhood answered!

Challenging men to be GREAT men, and live out noble manhood. Don't just be a male. Be a man. Be a GreatMan.
