    Okay so to be honest it’s hard for me to find male perspective podcasts that keep my attention, but I can honestly say this one keeps me coming back. His perspective is honest, real, and I enjoy tuning in to hear his thought process. I definitely recommend adding this one to your rotation.

  • The Honesty Is Amazing

    So I’m 15 mins into Husbandology and I swear he is sharing the same things my husband told me recently. Like. Wow.

    We’re 6 years married, 8 years together. I think it would benefit him so much to hear this coming from another brother. I’ve shared it with him! This is dope. 🔅 Thanks for putting this out in the world.
