How To Be A Man: Courage

Manhood Tribes

This Manhood Tribes show episode, hosted by Don Ross, dives into the essence of courage and its pivotal role in defining manhood. We introduce the show with a talk on courage as a vital trait every man needs, alongside a mention of a free resource titled 'How Manly Are You?' intended to help men assess and improve their manliness. Don elaborates on the cultural confusion surrounding manhood and emphasizes celebrating and understanding what it means to be a man through the 5 Marks of Manhood: strength, courage, skill, honor, and allegiance.
The episode focuses specifically on courage, debunking myths about fearlessness and highlighting the importance of facing fears and challenges to become a better man. Don shares a personal story related to overcoming his fear of playing basketball as a metaphor for facing challenges in various aspects of life.
The show concludes with a 'manhood challenge' segment encouraging men to engage in a difficult conversation they've been avoiding, thus practicing courage. The overarching message is that true courage lies not in the absence of fear but in the willingness to face and overcome it, supporting the ideal of growing into extraordinary men through manhood, camaraderie, and freedom.
