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.

18. Andrew and The Swagger That Comes With Being Yourself
How do we gain confidence? Where does a sense of full possession, of being comfortable with who you are, come from? Does it ever leave? Or, once you possess yourself, can you hold fast to that belief that you are everything you need to be?
Having that confidence in yourself is an enviable trait...and can give a man a swagger about themselves.
But what if that man is your own father? How does that translate to you?
This is a great conversation about a man who is a son and father, and who looks at his father with the clearer-eyed perspective of being an adult. It's a yik-yak about growing up with a forceful presence, giving yo the confidence that you can find your own sense of self.
