Our guest this week is Allen Featherstone of The Featherstone Podcast. We laugh a lot while talking about what it's like trying to be creative and productive while also dealing with depression.

Allen Featherstone has gone through his own journey of understanding how to be a proper man and human being. And it took him a long struggle with addictions, with hard drugs, then alcohol to understand what he has to do. In this interview, you can see that he is still on this journey, one that he is willing to share with anyone who will listen. You can hear that he is working to better himself, and some days he wins and some days he loses. You can tell he wants to be more at peace with himself, with his wife, and with his daughter. In this episode, I also talk about Ryan Getzlaf and his fine over an inappropriate comment. You can check out Allen’s podcast The Featherstone by searching it on iTunes or on Stitcher . You can also find him on Instagram @theFeatherstonehimself an on twitter @thefeatherpod If you want to support the Modern Manhood Podcast, check out the patreon page at patreon.com/modernmanpod
