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.

31. Tommy and How to Wander
The latin term Vagari is a verb meaning "to roam" or "to wander." And while it's a cliche to say that not all who wander are lost, Vagari is the root for the noun "Vagabond."
For most folks, that's a negative connotation. For Tommy, being a vagabond taught him a new way to live, a different way to apply the laws of human currency and interaction.
Do I give to get? Do I give to keep giving? If I'm given something, do I pass something else on, so others get to receive?
More than just taking a vow of poverty, Tommy learned - in mid-life - to better understand our most original - and human - exchanges. Before money, before Venmo, there was real currency.
How do we have that kind of exchange now?
Amazing journey, amazing man.
