Menfolk Journeys

This podcast explores how different men from all walks of life wear the beautiful and confusing mantle of manhood. Men can be knuckleheads in public life. But in private, if given the right questions and if they feel comfortable, men can also be thoughtful, reflective, and have deep conversations about their lives, big questions, and meaningful ideas. We have great conversations with men just like us and from all walks of life, so we can learn from their personal stories and all get better together.

  64. Eric And The Fire In His Belly That Keeps Burning

  Oct 1, 20261h 19m

  Full disclosure: Eric Foster is my older brother...but this isn't a conversation about our family, siblinghood, or any of that. It's about how he takes advantage of the 24 hours that are granted to ALL of us, and what he does to make the most of each day. His burning ambition to be the best he can, to do the most he can, to experience what he can, drives his habits, actions, and successes. This conversation is about why we are compelled to act, what drives the drivers, and what we can all learn from getting our asses up early in the morning. While he was in Junior Achievement...this conversation is about Adult Achievement. Support the show

  63. Brian And Retiring With Purpose And Committment

  Sep 24, 20261h 8m

  Brian did a LOT of things well in his adulthood, and he seems like a model that others want to aspire to: married, children, grandchildren, and a lucrative career that enabled him to retire with comfort. And now, with the next chapter in his life being written in his own hand, he's turning his attention to serving others. As a volunteer for FEMA, he's putting himself in crucibles of hurt, loss, anxiety, fear, and devastation...trying to be a part of something bigger than himself to help other people rebuild. His commitment to Character, and what that means, and what we should do for our fellows, is an inspiration for anyone wondering what they should be doing in the last chapters of their lives.

  60. Shaun Is Intent On Raising His Cub Right

  Aug 13, 20261h 23m

  The challenges fathers have in raising young boys today seems, well, more challenging than before. From conflicting models of what manhood and masculinity should be, to readily-accessible pornography, to figuring out how to socialize with girls in a way that takes care and is also natural to their hormones...it's a messy hodgepodge of messages those boys are getting. And Shaun Dauson is trying to figure it out. And he talks about how he has to deal with his own s**t so he can be the model of manhood that inspires his son to be the best he can be.

  59. Shalin and How Breathing Changed His Life

  Aug 6, 202655 min

  Why does it seem like such a simple thing to breathe...and for there to be an entire course of study on how to breathe? Shalin began to understand the power of breathwork when he was 16 years old, and on the cusp of manhood. It changed his entire transition into adulthood, centering his mind, calming his body, and preparing his whole self to become a larger, more centered man. He was one of the calmest, warmest, easiest guests I've spoken to so far...and it has to do with how he's learned to breathe. And, thankfully, he's teaching other people how to do it, too.

  Who is are the people that help you with your life? Do you have a cohort, a group, a tribe, a brotherhood, that can show you who you want to be?

This is a wonderful conversation with a successful man who has been aided in his success by strong, rich, deep, lasting friendships.
