Ep 43 Masculine Essentials: Why Every Man Needs a Hard Thing

In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke explores why every man needs a “hard thing” - a demanding pursuit that stretches him mentally, physically, and spiritually. Modern life is built for comfort, but true growth only comes through resistance. Learn how challenge forges character, why avoiding discomfort leads to stagnation, and how taking on difficult work produces earned confidence and resilience.

This episode calls men to reject ease, embrace friction, and commit to at least one difficult pursuit - not just for themselves, but for those they lead and love.
