97 - The Man-tality Shift: Following Up on “Hey Man, Are You Okay?”

Challenging the man-tallity. In this follow-up to Episode 54 – Hey Man, Are You Okay?, Ridge and Shelby revisit the challenge of guys asking each other the hard questions. But this time, the conversation runs deeper—not just about checking in, but about letting go. Ridge, in the thick of raising a young family, talks about the struggle of control and the surprising freedom he’s found in adopting a bit of Shelby’s “it is what it is” mindset. Meanwhile, Shelby reflects on his own season of fatherhood, navigating the emotional rollercoaster of adult children making grown-up decisions… some of them questionable. It’s a real and honest look at the evolving role of fatherhood, the importance of mental check-ins, and the humility it takes to let go of what you can’t control.
