What's expected of a MAN, not just over Valentine's Day period but in his daily habits and lifestyle. As we love and connect with our partners and spouses over this period, let's not forget our sacred DUTY OF SERVICE. 

A young boy loses his father just when he needs him the most. Confused, scared and alone.  But a man with no obligation whatsoever to this boy takes up the DUTY OF A MAN and steps up to the plate to raise one as his own. To be a MAN demands that we correct that which is within our reach, that which concerns us and to correct some things that seem lost in our community and society. My guest today is glad that some MAN - 'twice removed' not only gave him a home but an education and experience that gave him a place to begin defining his own identity and masculinity.  Get yourself that hot mug of coffee... I know, you probably have a hangover your trying to nurse but sit on the balcony, a log somewhere, or maybe a comfortable seat and lets FORGE.  Welcome to the FirePit Crucible

The roles strong men played in my life. My uncle, my father... the men I observed and learnt from even though they never knew it.  I watched, and modeled myself after them.

Why a FirePit Crucible?  What defines masculinity today and who are the men who will tell our stories?
