Ep 38 What I Wish I Knew at 18 with Matthew Navarro

In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke is joined by Matthew Navarro for a raw, reflective conversation on the lessons they wish they’d learned at 18. Together, they unpack the pitfalls of early adulthood, from misplaced ambition to the silent pressure to perform, and share how their understanding of masculinity, faith, and discipline has evolved with time.

This episode offers hard-won wisdom for younger men navigating identity, purpose, and responsibility. Whether you’re 18 or 38, the insights shared will help you avoid avoidable scars, build meaningful character, and walk the narrow road with more clarity and confidence.
