Man They Remember

Somewhere along the way, men started to believe that they had to act a certain way in order to get the girl. But, is that true? Are women attracted to the overtly macho man or do they find him off-putting? In this episode I'm joined by my lovely wife Bekki, the host of the Girl On A Hill Podcast, to talk about her perception of the macho man. Not only that, but she gives us a little insight into what women are really looking for in a man. So, if you're a guy wanting the secret to impress a wo...

Since our sister podcast, Girl On A Hill, has done this, we thought we could do the same. So, we're taking an episode just to talk about some of the stuff we're enjoying right now about life. We talk a little bit about football, a lot about video games (you're about to hear just how uninformed I am about the modern video game world), and we do talk for a few minutes about the New York Times Article about Languishing. We also talk a little bit about work, unemployment, the Facebook Files, and ...

You've heard him on the podcast, but you may not know the story behind the man. In this episode, we hear a little bit of Shad's story and his journey through addiction. We'll hear how it all began, where he is now, and what he has learned along the way. Addiction is one of those things that has touched all of us in some way. If we haven't struggled with our own addictions, we know someone who has. Some of us, myself included, know the pain of losing a close friend to addiction. If you're list...

How are relationships amongst men developed? How do we build deep relationships in our family? Do we have to sit around holding hands and singing Kumbaya and sharing our feelings or is there another way? If we're being honest, we'd love to have deep relationships with other men, but it seems impossible. In this episode I'm joined by my older brother who shares with us about the power of shared experiences amongst family and men. He also shares a little of his debt-free journey and how he and ...

There were more travelers on the road and in the sky on July 4th weekend than ever in history. It was like everyone said, after enduring the last 18 months or so, in the words of Michael Scott, "We're out of here, catch you on the flippity flip." But, what if there is something we can learn from that? Maybe, all the stress and strain we are experiencing as a society isn't as much because of politics or the pandemic, but because we're all tired and need a break. In this episode, I share with y...

You may find this hard to believe, but I've never taken my family on an overnight camping trip. Sure we've gone on trips and even stayed in camp grounds, but we have never done overnight tent-camping. I know, shocking. But, I don't want to go too far down the road of all my shortcomings as a father. So, instead, in this episode of the Man They Remember Podcast, Paul Reyes, the master camper himself shares with us 3 keys to a successful camping trip. If you're like me and just haven't yet vent...

On one hand, we live in a world that is adamantly trying to tear down the stereotype of what it means to be masculine. And, yes, much of that needs to come down. However, on the other hand, while the loudest voices may be shouting for a different picture of masculinity, there are many ways that those men who try to be that different kind of a man end up being punished for their pursuits. In this episode, we talk about some statistics about the stereotype of masculinity as well as how we have ...

Sometimes movies are just fun to watch and there is absolutely nothing beneficial to them. Other times, there are great fictional stories that have been created to help teach a point. And then there are those movies based on a true story that have a way of changing the way we think about life. Great movies come from great stories. Talk about being the kind of man they remember when we're gone, how about being the kind of many they make a movie about! Today, we talk about some of the movies th...

Andy Andrews said: “When confronted with a challenge, the committed heart will search for a solution. The undecided heart searches for an escape.” If you look at manhood in our culture today, commitment is one of the most pressing issues. The way it is right now when things get difficult, there are too many men that are ready to look for an escape. But commitment requires sacrifice, it requires sticking with someone or something through the challenges. In this episode, we talk about various a...

Martin Luther King Jr. once said: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, “What are you doing for others?” Being helpful is something we often appreciate from others, but when it's our turn to serve we can easily find an excuse. In this episode, we talk about the virtue of helpfulness and how it's men who are helpful who also seem to have the best relationships and the most joy in their lives.
