We Drafted Our Heroes and Argued
Modern Man
Hero Draft, Part 1 — Football. Three men each draft one football hero and defend the pick. Noah takes Tom Brady and argues for the man who said no to everything else for one thing. Sam takes Pat Tillman, who walked away from a $3.6 million contract and never came back. Brad takes Peyton Manning and makes the case for the integrated life — the man who was excellent without letting the rest of it fall away. Along the way: signal versus noise, whether the cost of greatness is a feature or a bug, why rags to riches is the easier story, the man who's always second, and the question none of them fully answer — what your heroes say about what you actually value. We exist to rediscover and redeem the heart of man in the modern world.

About Podcast
Men aren't what they should be – and everyone agrees. But what should they be? Welcome to the home of that conversation. Modern Man seeks to rediscover and redeem the heart of man in the modern world. To rediscover the aspects of masculinity that have been lost. To redeem the aspects of masculinity that have lasted. And to respond accordingly.
Each episode, Brad, Noah, and Sam grapple with real-life experiences and real-time events to see how we can better develop the heart of man in the modern world.
