A 3-D Band of Brothers Jul 13, 2021

Show notes

Many of you have a band of brothers. But are you connecting in a way that produces true growth? Stephen issues a stern challenge: from time to time, you MUST sit in the same room as each other and look each other in the eye. Yes, Zoom and phone calls are okay for maintaining relationships when you are separated by distance or busy schedules. But in-person connection is critical. Men have an innate ability to consider people physically. We can pick up a lot of information from observing how a person carries himself. If you’re not laying eyes on your buddies, then you’re not able to help them or get the help you need. Get Building Your Band of Brothers on Kindle or in paperback.

The One-Click Challenge Jul 06, 2021

Clothes don’t make the man, but they do reveal the man. Over the next three months, Stephen challenges you to dress one-click up from your normal.

Did you know that men today have testosterone levels at an all-time low? Testosterone levels have been dropping every year. Stephen recently had to experience Low-T as part of a medical procedure, which resulted in the commonly associated lack of energy and drive. In this episode, he discusses some of the problems and solutions associated with Low-T. Tune in, and talk to your doctor about making some changes if you need to do so. Everything from how we sleep to how we exercise can affect testosterone levels. Let’s make sure we’re taking care of our bodies in a manly way.

One Offense Away Jun 22, 2021

Show notes

Stephen speaks about a type of man he’s been in the past: a type of man he doesn’t want you to be. Perhaps you know the type – the guy who’s always one offense away from breaking off a relationship, one offense away from lashing out. This kind of man has wounds, and the wounds are so painful that if he hears any offense, it almost overwhelms him. He lacks the tools to address them. So he runs. Tune in, and let’s sort out the healthy response to offense. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Great Men Give Jun 15, 2021

Show notes

Radical generosity is a trait of noble manhood. A great man makes generosity a part of the legacy he leaves. We also know from history and every religion that the generous man prospers. When we give we open up channels of receiving in return. In this episode, Stephen encourages you to start building “consistent generosity” into your concept of great manhood. (And, no, great generosity does not require great monetary wealth.) You can also give directly to GreatMan or contribute by choosing GreatMan as your designated charity whenever you shop at Smile.Amazon.com.

Show notes

Everyone you know is fighting a great battle. Stephen shares the story of one of the great battles of his own life: moving from Berlin to West Des Moines, Iowa, as a teenager in the 1970s.

Teaching Boys May 18, 2021

Show notes

To paraphrase the sociologist Camille Paglia, a woman simply is, but a man must become. Masculinity is risky and elusive. It must be called out by other men. In this episode, Stephen unpacks the “why” behind his belief in the need for quality boys’ schools. We need more resources for a better understanding of boys and what they require in terms of education, mentorship, and growth.

Clothes Reveal the Man May 11, 2021

Show notes

Clothes don’t make the man, but they can reveal the man. Stephen shares a recent experience attending a reception for a former state governor. While the women were wisely and appropriately dressed, many of the men were dressed like five-year-olds with white tennis shoes, jeans, and untucked plaid short-sleeved shirts. While this outfit might be fine for a backyard barbecue with your buddies, it doesn’t communicate the honor and respect such an event demands. Clothes communicate. Know how to dress with maturity, sensibility, and a sense of honor. Many occasions in life require it.
