Actually, The Voices of Two Men

This next post in my current series, One Man’s Voice… in the Noise, is really a conversation between two guys talking about why every man needs a band of brothers.

The link below features the recording of my guest appearance on the Linking Shields podcast, with host Warren Mainard. Warren is the founder and National Director of Impact Players, a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring men to become better husbands, fathers, and leaders.

In this episode, Warren discusses the power and necessity of male friendship—what he often calls brotherhood. He also introduces Impact Players’ new battle cry: “Every man needs a band of brothers.”

We explore the importance of men having better friendships—or, as I like to call them, “GodBuddies.” The two of us also tackle a question that often sparks debate: Should your wife be your best friend? We agreed that, while marriage is sacred, every man still needs a close male best friend. We wrap up the conversation with practical, actionable ways to begin building your own band of brothers.

I encourage you to listen in to our conversation and ask yourself: Who are the men in my life who truly know me? And who am I walking alongside in return?
