Episode I Got Pushed Into Manhood At 12 Cover

I Got Pushed Into Manhood At 12

At 12 years old… I wasn’t guided into manhood. I was pushed. No conversation. No preparation. No model to follow. Just a moment that forced me to grow up faster than I was ready for. Looking back now… I realize that moment shaped how I showed up as a man: As a father As a husband As an entrepreneur And not always in the way I would have chosen. This episode isn’t polished. It’s not a framework. It’s a real story about what happens when a boy is forced to become a man… before he understands what that even means. If you’ve ever felt like: You had to figure it out on your own… You were carrying responsibility too early… Or you’re still unpacking what manhood really looks like… This one will hit. 🎙️ The First Man Project™ Strong Men. Strong Families. Strong Futures. Peace & Blessings!

Episode What If Your Business Is Costing You More Than You Want to Pay? Cover

What If Your Business Is Costing You More Than You Want to Pay?

What if success… is costing you more than you realize? That almost happened to me. After 30+ years in business… this is one of the hardest lessons I’ve learned: 👉 Every business has a price 👉 But there’s also a cost And the cost? You don’t see it coming. It shows up over time… • In your time • In your health • In your relationships • In your peace of mind It’s the invisible tax your business collects from you… and the people you love. I haven’t figured out how to avoid it completely. But I’ve learned this: If you’re building something… be intentional about minimizing the cost. Because success in business... shouldn’t come at the expense of your life. Strong Men. Strong Families. Strong Legacies.

Episode If You Leave It… They’ll List It | Legacy vs Inheritance (Episode 6) Cover

If You Leave It… They’ll List It | Legacy vs Inheritance (Episode 6)

Legacy Series | Episode 6 Only about 20% of Americans receive an inheritance. And even when they do, most inherited homes, businesses, and assets are eventually sold. As fathers and entrepreneurs, many of us justify our long hours and missed dinners by telling ourselves we are “building something for their future.” But the data tells a harder truth. Most men won’t leave a life-changing inheritance. And even if they do, the next generation often liquidates the assets faster than we ever imagined. In this first video episode of the podcast, Michael Denniston — father of three and a serial entrepreneur for over 30 years — explores the deeper question behind inheritance and legacy. The Liquidation Reality Why are inherited houses, businesses, and assets often sold soon after they are transferred? Market Volatility How recessions, pandemics, and health crises can wipe out a lifetime of savings in weeks. Life Stewardship Why raising your personal standards — even after your kids are grown — may be the ultimate test of a First Man. Inheritance is what we leave. Legacy is how we live. So the real question becomes: Are you building assets… or building legacy? Drop Michael a voice memo and share your thoughts: Is it harder to be a financial steward or a life steward? https://www.speakpipe.com/thefirstmanproject [https://www.speakpipe.com/thefirstmanproject] Subscribe for regular Surgical Mirrors for your life and leadership. Share this episode with a man who is winning at work but needs to audit his home contract. Strong Men. Strong Families. Strong Legacies. Peace and blessings.
