039: What It Really Means to Be(come) a Man with Dennis Morolda

"When things are stuck in your head, they just rattle around there forever. It's so important to get it on paper and to read through it and say, you know what, that's a thought that I had, but I am not my thoughts. I am not my feelings. I am the thinker of my thoughts and the feeler of my feelings."

– Dennis Morolda

In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Dennis Morolda, Founder and CEO of Building Men, a movement dedicated to helping young men become the strongest versions of themselves – mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Dennis is the host of the Building Men Podcast, a motivational destination for real talk about purpose, mindset, relationships, connections, and the foundational building blocks to success.

As a former public school teacher, principal, and coach, Dennis has pivoted to specialize in Building Men of character, integrity, strength, compassion, and empathy through transformational mentoring, coaching, and motivational speaking. Dennis wasn't always this confident, though… Tune in to hear the story of how Dennis came back from rock bottom and how he's enabling young boys to become real, vulnerable, empowered men.

As growing boys, and even as grown men, we measure and compare ourselves to the men around us. This is unfortunate because our strength and growth doesn't lie in how we compare ourselves to others, but how we compare ourselves to ourselves.

If you're a father, a mentor for young boys, or you're in need of some serious motivation, this episode is for you!
