What Every Young Man Needs to Hear | Dennis Morolda

This conversation with Dennis Morolda on Building Men hit differently. We went deep into what it means to become a man when life forces you to grow up fast. How losing my dad at 16 changed everything. And why the moment my uncle caught me running from the house became one of the most defining moments of my life. When Dad got leukemia everything changed. The day after he passed Mom came home. Went straight to my brother and sister. I knew. Bolted out the door. I felt completely alone. The one person who really understood me was gone. Didn't even know my Uncle Arden was there. He caught me in a bear hug as I was running. Said Rick you're the man of the house now. I asked why. He said I don't know. Those two words changed my life. I don't know. Not some made up answer. Not because I told you so. Just the honest truth that sometimes there are no answers. That validation in the moment of my confusion. Plus knowing I wasn't alone. He saw me. He understood me. He'd be there.
