Hello and welcome to a special episode of Ask a Dude. About 3 months ago, on an Ask a Dude Podcast, I read my list of what it is to be a good woman. At the end of that episode, Nick told us that he felt inspired to share his list of what it is to be a real man. Nick made his list and shared it with us during a recorded podcast sometime in May, roughly 2 months ago. We now refer to it as ‘the list’. The podcast is edited and ready to go. But we haven’t yet launched it on Sacred Truths.  So, why the long pause?

The Ask a Dude series is a process for all of us involved.  In many ways this is new territory for us and sometimes we are surprised by what we find. In this podcast, Nick and I discuss the process of making the list, sharing the list, receiving the list, and his reluctance or hesitation to share the list publicly.
