In this continuation of the '’6 Seasons of a Man's Life’' series, Jesse French and Chris Bruno dive into the 'Zealous Warrior' stage in a man's life. Jesse kicks things off with a hilarious story from his college days, where he and a friend test the limits of a John Deere Gator by stacking hay bales far beyond capacity. This sets the stage for a deeper discussion on the Zealous Warrior phase—a time when young men feel the need to take responsibility, push boundaries, and conquer their battles. Chris explains why this stage is crucial for developing grit and purpose, and what happens when it's bypassed. They also tease the next episode, which will explore the often-overlooked 'Wounded Man' stage, adding layers to the journey of masculinity.
