In this episode, we take time to reflect before turning the page. We talk honestly about what 2025 taught us, the habits, mindsets, and situations we’re leaving behind, and the lessons we’re carrying forward.
The conversation shifts toward intention as we look ahead to 2026 — how we want to show up, what we’re prioritizing, and the standards we’re setting for ourselves moving forward. It’s a mix of reflection, accountability, and vision-setting as the fellas close one chapter and prepare for the next.
This episode is about growth, clarity, and moving into the new year on purpose.
The holidays are here, and in this episode we’re talking all things gifting men and the traditions that come with the season. From what actually makes a good gift for men to the rituals we carry year after year, the fellas keep it real with laughs and honest takes.
Along the way, we somehow end up figuring out what a toboggan really is, break down Warner Brothers’ latest acquisition, and talk about the importance of checking on your friends during the holidays, because this season isn’t joyful for everyone.
It’s festive, funny, and grounded in real connection—just the kind of conversation you need this time of year.
In this episode of the #ManlyDeedsPodcast, we tackle some heavy but necessary conversations. We start by discussing current headlines involving Diddy and Sherrone Moore, using them as a springboard to talk about accountability, decision-making, and the consequences that come with a lack of discipline.
From there, the conversation shifts to the importance of sexual discipline, staying committed to your relationship, and what it really looks like to pursue intimacy within your own marriage. We talk honestly about temptation, boundaries, communication, and how intentional effort can strengthen the connection between spouses.
This isn't an episode that you want to miss! It's the Manly Deeds Podcast!
In this episode, we dive into a topic that hits every adult a little too close: the struggle to actually find rest. Between work, family, and the constant pressure to stay productive, rest can feel like a luxury instead of a necessity.
We open up about the guilt that creeps in when we finally slow down, why rest feels so hard to justify, and how we’re learning to give ourselves permission to breathe.
The conversation expands into the importance of community while raising a child — the village it takes, the support we often fail to ask for, and what it looks like to build a circle you can lean on during the busiest seasons of life.
It’s honest, relatable, and much-needed. Pull up a seat and rest with us for a bit.
No Pause! In this episode, we unpack the uncomfortable truth: for a lot of men, showing genuine love to other men still feels… complicated. Society has boxed us into surface-level dap, jokes, and “you good?” check-ins—but real affection? Real vulnerability? That’s where things get tricky.
We talk honestly about why brotherly love often feels awkward, how we can break out of those old expectations, and what healthy male connection really looks like.
From embracing the “unk” title as we get older to navigating broke dates with our wives or significant others, this episode blends humor, self-awareness, and the kind of conversation men rarely get to have out loud.
Tune in as the fellas push past the surface and tap into something real.
In this episode, we step into uncharted territory—literally and figuratively. We kick things off with Steph Curry’s surprise move away from Under Armour and what that means for athlete branding. Then we admit the truth: there are some wildly popular TV shows we still haven’t seen (don’t judge us).
From trying tackle football for the first time in our 30s to watching the sports world stretch beyond U.S. borders, we explore how life keeps pushing us into new spaces—whether we’re ready or not.
Tap in as the fellas share laughs, honest takes, and the lessons we’re learning as we all navigate unfamiliar ground together. It's the Manly Deeds Podcast!
Life isn’t a sprint — it’s a marathon, and in this episode, we break down what it really looks like to keep running. We dive into the challenges of learning how to lead in marriage, navigating the unexpected hurdles life throws our way, and embracing those seasons where waiting is the only move you can make.
It’s honest, relatable, and full of those conversations men don’t always get to have out loud. Tap in as we unpack what it truly means to endure, evolve, and keep moving forward — one mile at a time. It's the Manly Deeds Podcast!
This week on the #ManlyDeedsPodcast, we’re talking about the true colors of friendship. We ask the real questions—do we, as a group of Black men, have white friends? What truly defines a friend in our lives? And how far does that friendship go when money gets involved? From cultural connections to financial boundaries, the fellas dig deep into what loyalty, trust, and genuine friendship really look like in today’s world. It’s funny, honest, and thought-provoking—just the way you like it.
