WHAT MOVES YOU FORWARD?
My name is Alf Herigstad, I am your host and fellow man in the trenches. I will be guiding you into this labyrinth of manly musings.
But first, I want to acknowledge the sponsor of today’s program; Stump Town Kilts! They have been sponsoring the Friday episodes since December of this year.
If you have not yet checked them out over at stumptownkilts.com …you really should. If you have ever envisioned yourself wearing a kilt, these people at Stump Town Kilts are making the finest, most durable, kilts on the market today in my opinion. That’s why I own three of them.

They know what works, they know how they feel, they understand the form and function required to make a superior garment that can be worn anywhere, and that breeds innovation and excellence.
So stop thinking about it, just head over to stumptownkilts.com and pick out your next kilt. Don’t forget to enter the code: betterman, all one word all lower case, at checkout to receive 10% off your entire purchase.

We have all known guys like this, perhaps we have even been this guy ourselves…or are right now. It’s a guy that has got caught in a rut. At some point he found a job that will do, a relationship that works ok, and friends that he knows what to expect from. Where he lives is adequate, and his routine is predictable. Then he just stops.
He stops initiating change, he stops wondering and dreaming. This guy stops attempting to alter and improve the world around him because he has accepted his mediocrity and has become comfortable in his...
