198 – Defining Definitions; nice guy vs. good man

Defining Definitions, nice guy vs. good man… I have several things to talk about today, but before I jump into it, I’m going to recognize our amazing sponsors of the Friday episodes. The one and only, StumpTown Kilts. Stumptown Kilts has been our sponsor for around 6 months now. During that time several of you have answered the call and gotten your very own Stumptown kilt…but I know a lot more of you are thinking about it. I know you want one, so stop putting it off and head over to stumptownkilts.com and get one, you will be glad you did. It’s a win-win-win! You win because you get a superbly crafted, innovative, amazing kilt that everyone will notice and be envious of. I win, because by getting a kilt from our sponsor you are also supporting the show—and Stumptown Kilts wins because they get another ecstatic lifelong customer to ad to their growing list of happy kilt wearers. What could be better than a three-way win? So don’t wait, head over to stumptownkilts.com and pick out that kilt you have been thinking of since I first started talking about them. Once you have the kilt and all the accessories you want picked out, remember to enter the code: betterman, at checkout. When you do that you will receive 10% off your entire purchase. Do it today! Ok, in the last episode, number 197 called The Minutia Of Manhood, I hit a nerve with a few guys. I hit a nerve because I was talking in real plain english about the fact that when you don’t pay attention to the details of your life, the minutia, that you might be something other than a man. You might still be a boy. The thing is, it’s only tough to hear stuff like that if it’s true. I know I hit some of you where you live and it’s not comfortable. There was one guy who wrote into me about it. I won’t give his name because I don’t have his permission, but he wrote in and told me that episode pissed him off and made him angry…at himself. Sometimes when the truth hits you in the face you can’t duck, you can’t roll with the punch, you just have to take it and that’s what he did. I’m really proud of this guy because when confronted with the truth he stood up and owned it. He finished his letter by thanking me for giving him a walkup call. I wrote him back and gave him a little advice. It’s not an easy thing to suddenly change the way you...
