Our guest today is Dr. Jared Gibby, a practicing dentist who went through Dental school at the same time that his wife was going through medical school. He shares with us what that experience was like, and the lessons they learned along the way. Since graduation, he's been practicing dentistry while his wife has been completing her residency, a process that has challenged them both, as they now have two young children. Listen in as we discuss why he feels like he can do that, the power of picking strong examples to look up to, and the importance of taking time to add weight to your side of the scale when it feels like responsibilities are stacking up against you.

My guest this episode is a man who had significant impact on my own development as an individual. Rich Mildenhall is a professional educator, an Army veteran, and an all-around good human being. In this episode, we discuss how we can grow beyond our own experience, and the biases, both explicit and implicit, that come with it. He shares how to check yourself in your own thoughts, how to grow yourself as a human being, and how to grow beyond what is simply comfortable.

When we talk about being Open, too many men look beyond the mark to where they think we're headed; they think that being open means showing raw, unfiltered emotions in spades to anyone who'll listen. You're not thinking of a man, you're thinking of a toddler. Men express themselves differently. Men know that emotions, the reactions to lived experiences, are the threads that tie us together as humans in relationships, and that to try to live a life or even be seen as living life without emotions is living a life without connection to others. 
In this episode, we do a deep dive into this new metric for Manhood, and why it's critical for men who know that life is hard. Connecting in relationships is hard, but succeeding utterly and completely alone is harder. You pick your hard.
