Ways to Combat Addiction – S3E9 (Ft. David Murray)
I’ve said it before… The Modern Man does not work without vulnerability. If we’re all so focused on pretending we have everything figured out, then where do we find room to grow? Today’s episode is, in my opinion, the prime example of what it means to build strong meaningful relationships. We have so many followers on social, countless contacts in our phones, and more acquaintances than we know what to [...]
Pushing Forward After Loss – S3E8 (Ft. Jeremy Krauze)
There is often a void that gets left behind when the ones we love are no longer with us. Sometimes the hole can be so deep we drown under the pressure of it all. How can we possibly move on? I’ll be the first to say how important the grieving process is. How ever you choose to mourn is up to you. It’s also necessary for our health and the [...]
Handling Times of Crisis – S3E7 (Ft. Oliver Lollis)
True character and integrity usually comes out in times of crisis. A lot of relationships and commitments begin from a place of comfort or abundance. We take on the unity, knowing that we are better together than when we’re apart. Though intentions are pure, hard times are sure to spoil the fun and invade on the good times. When that happens, the unity truly gets tested. To be clear, a [...]
We Need Self Defense – S3E6 (Ft. Scott Puckett)
There are forces out there that would like to see you fail. Furthermore, there are forces that are purely evil and would like to see the world burn. With that being said, such forces only stop when they are met with opposition. Luckily a majority of these forces are stopped well before they reach our inner circle of peace. Whether it be a terrorist threat, a thwarted plan, or a [...]
Balancing Life and Business– S3E5 (Ft. Kenworth Reeves)
How do we find clarity and learn to focus on what’s important? Life can be so convoluted at times. No matter how much you try to compartmentalize things, there always tends to be some “spillage.” The reality is, the more you try to balance, the more you have a chance of setting up conflicts. It’s easy for us men to get carried away with work. I know I tend to [...]
Adjusting In Life And In Business – S3E4 (Ft. Timothy Cunningham)
How do you react during times of chaos? When the pressure is on, and your team is being tested, will you be able to pivot and adjust?

You also have to do it quickly. Teamwork and communication [...]
Finding Your One Voice – S3E3 (Ft. JDew)
There is so much passion in the world these days. It doesn’t take long to find it. Take a look at the news or on social media. You’ll find a lot of voices shouting over each other, screaming to be heard. My question though is this… If everyone is shouting, then who’s listening? Few voices have been able to bubble past the clutter and find the resonance to stand the [...]
Building Holistic Habits – S3E2 (Ft. Dr. Raymond Nichols)
I have a confession to make… I don’t take care of myself as well as I should. Don’t get me wrong. I do better than most. I stay hydrated, I have an active lifestyle, and I eat slightly healthier than average. (Haha) But let’s be honest... A lot of us suck at taking care of ourselves. Sure we may think we’re doing a good job. However, some would argue that [...]

Blessings In The Failure – S2E3 (Ft. Oliver Lollis)
In this episode of “The Modern Man” we discuss how some of our biggest failures can actually turn out to be our biggest blessings. As men, we take failure hard.

Live Your Life With Intent – Ep. 11 (Ft. Sergio Loaiza)
“WE EITHER LIVE WITH INTENTION OR EXIST BY DEFAULT.” - Kristin Armstrong Ask yourself this question… Are you living with intent? Is your current situation in life by design or is it by default?

Managing Emotions – Ep. 8 (Ft. Darian Blue)
“WHAT IS IT YOU’RE FEELING RIGHT NOW?” It’s a question I ask myself often these days, constantly looking for the answer. As a boy, I never really explored my emotions. No one really taught me how to. My education on the topic usually was summed up to “Man Up” or “Big boys don’t cry.” Sadly, It’s an upbringing a lot of boys and men are familiar with. I’ll be honest. [...]

What Is A Modern Man – Ep 1 (Ft. Jared Emerson)
Here's a question for you... What does the modern man look like? It's a topic I've had on my mind for quite some time. The more people I ask, the more I realize that everyone has their own answer.
