Often, when we consider the man we are or our place in life in light of where we want to be, the journey to the other side seems far too long and impossibly out of reach.

But, I think entrepreneurship, large and small, is the natural progression of the growth of a man.

In our modern day with our strong independence, the lack of neighborliness, and so many distractions, can men still form deep, lasting friendships? This is the question Mike and Brandon tackle in this Ask a Man Episode.

As an introvert who does a good job of playing an extrovert, I have some inside information as to how introverts work. In this episode I introduce a concept that I think helps introverts understand themselves and extroverts understand introverts.
