This episode of Man in Progress – Forging Manhood explores how worth is forged, not given. It begins with a simple parable: a bottle of water costs fifty cents at the supermarket, two dollars at the gym, three at the movies, and six on a plane. The water doesn’t change, only its context does. We draw a line to personal worth: your value isn’t the sticker price someone slaps on you; it’s how your gifts meet someone’s need.

Through raw stories of addiction recovery and fatherhood lived on the edge of scarcity, and reflections on Benedictine monks and St. Francis of Assisi, we unpack what it means to recognize and refine your tools, skill, character, and fit, and to place yourself where those tools matter most. You’ll learn daily rituals that protect your self-worth, how to pour your strength where it truly counts, and how to measure worth without comparing price tags. If you’ve ever felt discounted, misused, or misplaced, this episode invites you to step into the forge, reset your shelf, and remember you are not broken; you are a man in progress.
