  • Great Information- Genuine Men

    The guests and host are great. I’ve learned quite a bit in just a few episodes.

    That being said, I’m not a fan of the whole trivia/casual conversation in the beginning. I’m sure plenty of people love it. For me, I’m coming to get educated not necessarily entertained and I think everyone else who is coming to learn would agree since it takes up quite a few minutes in a society where time is valuable and it’s already a long-form show and it just makes it longer.

  • He’s a down to earth guy

    This is a great podcast for the everyday man. The host is down to earth, has an engaging tone of voice and you can tell he really wants to help. You can tell there is still some technical issues to work through with the feedback on the microphone but overall if you are looking for a podcast aimed at helping men be their best selves, this is a good one.

The discussions are thought-provoking, and Brent's warmth and wisdom shine throughout, making you feel as if you're part of a heartfelt conversation between friends. For anyone in sea... more
