What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast and host is wise beyond his years. Listening to this podcast gives so much insight into fatherhood, childhood trauma, healing, and leaving a phenomenal legacy for our children. It’s the podcast that every man didn’t know they needed. It gives us hope and ways to cope in our relationships with our fathers and sons. I am a single woman with a blessing in the form of a son, and I really love the content and conversations that are being had on this podcast. I think this podcast is respectable and the host is very knowledgeable and credible on family dynamics and the role of a man in his household. I pray that my son will be great like many of these men featured on this podcast. These conversations are so needed in our community, and it feels good to know someone is putting out positive stories and dialogue such as this. I hope it continues on for generations to come and grows into something even more fruitful. Amen.

Very real transparent conversations. I listen as a young mother with a younger son and to make sure that I can direct him to the men he needs to be an amazing man and human being. I love the show and appreciate the diversity in topics.

I’m a big fan of seeing men acknowledging their pain and working through it. This show feels safe, and facilitates necessary conversations in my home. Please keep going.

This show is sooo empowering. I only recently lost my father and I think I lost him at a time where it would’ve been most crucial to have him in my life. And while I feel bad having him gone, I feel even worse to think about my little brother growing up without a dad. So I bring him in to listen to this show to help him navigate this time but to also show him that better exists and that we are not our circumstances. I love the host’s honest and raw feedback and experiences from time to time. It’s a lovely time for us to come together as a family and talk through the hurt rather than sugar coat it. Please keep this up!
