Subscribe and Listen Now

Fellas,

In this week’s episode  we explore one of the most pervasive, yet rarely discussed emotions men face: shame. Joining me is Sam Gibbs Morris, a men’s coach, speaker, and soon-to-be father, whose personal journey from addiction and self-doubt to healing and empowerment will leave you with the tools and strategies to overcome shame. 

Together, we unpack the role of shame in shaping men’s lives, relationships, and legacies.

 

We Cover:  

Origins of Shame – How childhood experiences shape adult insecurities.  

Addiction and Shame – Why we use substances and behaviors to numb pain.  

The Healing Journey – Steps to confront shame and turn it into growth.  

Parenting with Presence – How addressing personal shame transforms fatherhood.  

Sobriety Beyond Alcohol – Living truthfully by removing distractions.  

 

This conversation moved me deeply. It’s not just about overcoming shame—it’s about learning to hold it, understand it, and transform it into strength. For fathers, husbands, and men seeking growth, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

Jon

P.S. We created this 2 page google doc on identifying and healing shame.

FRD is solving a huge problem for dads. Our culture has turned “Dad” into a joke. Go ahead, google Dad and you’ll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it’s a Homer Simpson mentality, and it’s BS.

Our community is built for solid men. Men with range. Those who are badass, and know there’s still more to learn, together.

Most guys find it hard to find “their crew.” Finding other committed men, who are successful in life, and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you?

In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values)

If you’re reading this, you want to grow.  Podcasts are great, but guys… when you’re ready to stop just listening to content, and want to JOIN the conversations – the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.
