Ep. 12: "Hero with a Thousand Faces"
In an era where the journey from boyhood to manhood occurs, more than ever has there been a microscopic view of when to clip your child's wings to fly. Is it age 18? Is it upon marriage?

Some see it as a survival while others see it as preventing an economic shutdown in catastrophic proportions. The opinions vary from Brother to Brother, father to fathe...

It all seems good right? But what about the unfortunate fall of our greatest leaders? What did they lack? In what areas were they not disciplined? Who besides themselves have suffer...

In sports we decide based on an athlete's body of work. In music we decide based on an musicians discography or catalog. For writing we decide based on an authors bibliography. For career oriented individuals we decide based on their resume. We use these measures to determine who is the greatest in their areas of expertise... the G.O.A.T., greatest Of All Time. This conversation is a common conversation for men. But what we as men rarely converse about is what it would take for us to be the G.O....
