Summary

Four years ago, Rory Lawrence scored a free ticket to MAN CAMP. The only catch? He lived 15 hours away in New Hampshire. Determined to not let that stop him, he convinced his friend Matt to tag along. What they experienced in southwest Ohio changed their lives. Four years later, their brotherhood has blossomed into a weekly podcast (The Dangerous Man Podcast) and a yearly trip back to MAN CAMP. Last year, 22 of their friends and family tagged along. Joining us from their studio in New Hampshire, Rory and Matt share their MAN CAMP experience, why they keep coming back, what it means to be a dangerous man, and why training is much more important than trying. This aggressive conversation will get you off the couch and out the door.
