On Episode 94.5 of Dads in Progress, the guys dive into some real, unfiltered conversations that challenge how men think, speak, and show up in the world.
We break down words grown men should not be using and why language matters more than we often admit. The discussion then expands into what men “can’t” do, socially and emotionally, and whether those expectations are fair or outdated.
We also tackle a raw and honest question: Can a man be overly sexualized? Is wanting sex too many days out of the week a lack of discipline, a natural desire, or something deeper that needs to be unpacked?
In a more reflective moment, we honor and discuss the tragic loss of an NFL player, touching on how sudden loss impacts perspective, legacy, and gratitude—especially during the holidays. From there, we explore how the holiday season shapes who we are, for better or worse.
To close it out, we ask one of the most important questions of all:How important is your happiness versus the happiness of others? Where is the balance, and when does self-sacrifice become self-neglect?
All this and much more on Episode 94.5.| Point 5 Wild
And remember—as long as you’re in progress, you should not fail.
