Being A Better Man

183

This show is about the character of men rather than the trappings of manhood. We will discuss the challenges men face from day to day, relationships, and personal accountability. We will talk about the finer points of manhood, and what it means to be a man in these modern times. It is all designed to lead up to a decision; the decision to be a better man today, than we were yesterday.

    The podcast was recommended to me by a friend. I downloaded a couple episodes and found his advice basic, at best. Alf talks about being a man by facing your fears. His solution to anyone trying to lose weight, “stop putting junk in your mouth”. You would gather more inspiration from a Hallmark card then this podcast. Take the Pass Go and collect your $200.

    lovely stories
    I'm a woman who loves to listen to Alf, especially his stories from his childhood. Many of his experiences and insights resonate across the sexes. For a podcast directed towards the masculine, there is an extreme amount of tenderness in Alf's presentations.

    Great Show - Just for MEN!
    I love the concept! The programs are very informative and with that unique "perspective" that only men can relate to! Keep it up Alf! Robert Thibodeau

    EP 153 Got Me Hooked!
    Wow! Alf Herigstad has a truly honest approach towards the question, "How to be a Better Man?" I couldn't agree more with what Alf said in EP 153, patience, dedication, and giving 100% without looking for reward is the key to manhood. American society needs more men like Alf to speak up and guide the fatherless men in this country towards masculinity.

    Not for men only!
    I am currently binge-listening to these podcasts. Alf delivers much-needed messages about how to be a better (hu)man in the context of wonderful un-preachy personal stories. Excellent meditations for anyone looking to improve themselves. Thanks Alf!

    Love it
    The small timeframe shouldn't allow so much deepness into a subject, but it does and it does it very well. #139 Power of Silence is the very essence of what I just mentioned. The fact that not much was said, but enough was. Check it out and Become A Better Man

    Nuanced and thoughtful
    Alf provides a great perspective on gender and thoughtfully handles serious issues. I loved his quote, "We are the example of manhood to whoever's watching." An important reminder for all of us!
  • blind Youth Guy
    Succinct and Insightful
    The fact that the podcast is generally published 3 times weekly is great. This allows for shorter podcasts and also gives a metaphorical shot in the arm throughout the week. Alf’s style, while far from PC (which I appreciate) is not that adopted by blowhards filled with righteous indignation. His to-the-point demeanor somehow remains both candid and kind. My son is 11, and we have listened to quite a few BABM podcasts together. I am also archiving them for my son and 8-year-old daughter to listen to as they grow older and have families of their own. Thanks, Alf, for your impressive and much-needed content. I hope more “adult males” will find your podcast and website and let your words of wisdom make them better men.

    Not only for men!
    As Alf mentions on his website, all are welcome to listen to his show. I got lots of insights from the interview with Tom Schwab but also from the shorter episodes. Try one episode and you will catch yourself wanting to listen to more!

    Zeus?
    Alf's common sense and masterful delivery exalt him....he sounds like a true, powerful sage, like Zeus! This is a great podcast, an oasis, to ground yourself early in the morning.
  • Walter Eggers
    Alf is literally THE man
    I love the men's space and this podcast is perfect for all men young and old. "Being a better man" is not only the title but the goal and entire point of the dichotomy Alf is bring you. The value and morals in the stories and guests he features is absolutely priceless. If you are a man, this is your podcast. If you are a woman, make sure the man in your life listens.... and share it with others!!! Crazy awesome valueable stuff here folks! Keep rocking it Alf, stellar job! ~ Walter J. Eggers

    So Moving!
    I listened to Alf's story about his dog Lady, and I have to say, it touched me to the core. He spoke so eloquently and poignantly about his experience with his dog. I can't wait to listen to more episodes! Great job Alf!

    An authentic and real view
    I like this show a lot because of the host, Alf. He comes off to me as a real and authentic man ready to contribute and give to the world from his heart and mind. And that's the kind of host that I like to listen to. We need more people like you, Alf!

    A female perspective...
    It is no surprise women listen to your show. It's a great place to learn more about men who are looking to improve who we are today. I'm digging the information and look forward to learning much more.

  • Karen Schwab
    Great Podcast
    I am a female but I still enjoy listening to Alf and his perspectives on Being a Better Man. I especially like when he talks about how he practices being a better man in regards to a situation with his wife. It's a great show with good insight that even females can learn from.

    Lost in a Blizzard
    Wonderful story of Alf making his way to his grandmother's funeral as a young man, and in his earnestness to get there, made a foolish mistake. How someone's kindness and hospitality saved his life, saved future generations, including his 9 grandchildren.
  • Duffash
    Great Mentor
    Alf has a way of teaching that uplifts and inspires. A true leader.
  • YourParentingMojo
    Loved the episode about working on the weekend
    "When you figure out what kind of unique value you can provide to other peple, then those people will give you money for it. That's how it works." I've often wondered at the disconnect between how corporations treat people and how the people who head up those corporations like to be treated. Thanks for inspiring me to continue my pursuit of my unique value - I think I've defined it; now I need to get the word out!
  • TwoPairPhoto
    So great

    Effective and Actionable Advice
    Driving down the road I found myself mentally planning what I could do today to improve over yesterday. I then realized that this direction in my thought was a direct result of this podcast and Alf's powerful but simple call to action: Be a Better Man Today then you were Yesterday. Deep and important concepts on manliness presented in a laid back and easygoing, storytelling way. Pulls no punches though. I listen to many podcasts but this is at the top of my list.
  • LornaLi

    Intentional messages to men!
    There are chanllenges that we face as men. I have been through new worrior program, a program that was dedicated to improve man's life and provide support, years ago and I've always wanted to improve my life. I suggest this podcast for men who want to learn about what is real for men. @intentional Beings
