Manly Deeds Podcast with Mel, Drew, Lace & Troy

This Father's Day, we're flipping the script. In this episode, a group of men sit down to talk honestly about what they really want for Father's Day—and it's not another mug, tie, or gadget. We're talking curated experiences: meaningful moments, intentional time, and memories that matter. Whether it's a weekend getaway, a surprise dinner, or a quiet moment with family, this conversation dives into why quality time and thoughtful experiences mean more than anything you can wrap in paper. Tune in for laughs, some truth-telling, and a fresh perspective on fatherhood, love languages, and what it means to feel seen and celebrated. #FathersDay #DadTalks #MenDeserveToo #CuratedExperience #BlackFatherhood #IntentionalLiving #FatherhoodUnfiltered #ModernDads #GiftsWithMeaning #celebratefathers x

Why do so many male friendships fall off after 30? Life gets busy. We get quiet. Pride creeps in. But disconnection comes at a cost. This week on The Manly Deeds Podcast, we're breaking down the slow fade between grown men and how to bring the bond back. Inspired by Issa Rae's convo with Michelle Obama, this one's all about adult friendship, brotherhood, and showing up. Call your brother. Not just when you need him, just because. #manlydeedspodcast #MaleFriendships #MensMentalHealth #Brotherhood #FriendshipAfter30 #GrownManTalk #IssaRaeInspired
