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.

19. Sean and Following the Breadcrumbs
The origin of the word “serendipity” is suggested to have from a 1754 fairy tale titled The Three Princes of Serendip, by Horace Walpole. In the story, the heroes ‘were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of’.
Some folks think that having a life of unexpected - but sought for - blessings come from a divine higher power, or that in some ways the Universe conspires for you.
Whatever your take on that idea, my guest Sean is now living a life where he is “following the breadcrumbs” that are put down in front of him. Those breadcrumbs are leading him and his family on an extraordinary path and experience.
Serendipity is often described as being aware of what you’re looking for so you can see when the opportunities present themselves.
Are you aware of the opportunities, are you opening yourself up to the breadcrumbs that are put down?
