Summary
Expect direct truth, practical examples, and accountability you can’t outsource, no victim stories, no motivational fluff. The focus is men’s self improvement that holds up in real life, becoming a better husband, a better father, a better leader, and a man who keeps his word, carries weight in his work, chooses solid brotherhood, and lives for purpose and legacy instead of comfort.

| 0:00.0 | Look how far we've come, all the things we've done, did it all with love, |
| 0:09.3 | beauty from the bottom of, all I want is you, you're my favorite view, but there's nothing |
| 0:18.8 | move. |
| 0:20.4 | And I am back. |
| 0:24.2 | And I literally mean I'm back. |
| 0:26.2 | Peach's is not here right now. |
| 0:27.7 | Excuse me. |
| 0:28.1 | She went to go get the kids. |
| 0:29.9 | This is our week where we, you know, Friday to Friday. |
| 0:33.3 | And the last time I did one of these, I had her on the podcast and we had a little conversations |
| 0:39.2 | about it, but I'm not going to have her here talking. So for all of you who watched the podcast |
| 0:43.8 | because of my gorgeous wife, you're going to have to look at my ugly mug. I don't know to tell you. |
| 0:47.7 | We are going to do part two of the good man or what makes a good man. The last time I did this |

| 1:09.3 | version. And I was like, okay, guess I'll do an updated version. So over the last couple days, I sat down and wrote something and I'm just going to read it. And hopefully this is entertaining for you because if not, I'm going to waste a whole lot of my time. A few years ago, I sat down and ranted for almost an hour about what it means to be a good man. I listed out a bunch of rules, open her door, walk on the side of the sidewalk, know where the exits are, |
| 1:32.3 | do not give a dead fish handshake, although I think I called it a limp dick handshake, |
| 1:37.3 | show up on time, pay if you invite. All of that still holds, but I've grown since then, |
| 1:42.3 | and I think it's time for an update. So this is the Good Man Part 2, 2026 edition. Since then, I've been humbled. I've been wrong. I have watched men quit on their families. I have watched men crawl back from the edge. I have changed a lot in three years. Raising kids built and rebuilt. Burn things down that were not working, written two books, set with my own |
