In this episode of The Modern Macho, the guys talk about their upbrings, particularly with their fathers. We are privileged to have grown up with our fathers, and we love them to death.

In our first episode of the Modern Macho, we talk about our goals for this project as a podcast and also as a community organization. Our mission reads, "The Modern Macho is a group of men who are looking to rediscover what it means to be a man. We seek to support, and challenge, one another towards critical self-reflection in order to become better in all aspects of life."
