Ever feel like your past is too messy to be meaningful?
Like the mistakes, the missed moments, the mess-ups with your kids or your wife… might be too much to make right?
This episode flips that idea on its head.
🎙️ Meet Mikki Willis—filmmaker, father, and the man behind Plandemic—as he opens up in one of the most honest and soul-stirring conversations we've ever recorded.
The title says it all:
Masculinity. Fatherhood. Becoming the man your family needs.
This is about stepping into who you’re called to be—not through perfection, but through presence.
Here’s the real reason to listen:
“If you were in my life just one human hair more… I wouldn’t be who I am today.”
That’s what Mikki told his father—over a couple of Budweisers on a park bench.
That moment? It changed everything.
🔥 A redefinition of what it means to show up as a man and father
💔 How generational pain can turn into generational healing
🛠️ A story about bike pedals, reverse threads, and how “maybe there’s another way” might change how you lead
🦋 A deathbed conversation with his father… and the miracle that followed
📺 Why most kids’ shows are training your child to disrespect you—and how Mikki broke the cycle
🙏 A raw, honest talk with his son about God, karma, and the power of telling the truth
This isn’t just a podcast episode.
It’s a guidepost for any man who’s ever wondered:
Am I becoming the man my family needs?
If that question matters to you—this conversation will too.
