[aydian_dowling_]: home, dads, and we want to create a fun and real life approach to being men

[aydian_dowling_]: in to day's world. This podcast is where we will be taking a deep dive into

[aydian_dowling_]: masceliney, to talk about what we do and why we do it. We truly believe a

[aydian_dowling_]: better future for our world is in part the responsibility of the men in it.

[aydian_dowling_]: That's us. We're inviting all men to do the work and fix their shit so we

[aydian_dowling_]: can leave a legacy we're proud of. societally. Men have been brainwashed

[aydian_dowling_]: into a narrow view of masculinity through which they can't see their full

[aydian_dowling_]: home life has been reinvented, So what does it mean to be a man in this new

[aydian_dowling_]: world? The state of men is a funny, honest, real world. Look at the stigmas

[aydian_dowling_]: that exist around men. The truth is men want to fix their shit, but where

[aydian_dowling_]: do we even start? We are two busy dads and we want to take you on a journey
