Fantastic podcast

Easy to listen to. Important topics. A great podcast for men of all ages.

bmcgregor75 ,

All men should find 5mins to listen to this podcast.

It’s fantastic to hear some real practical and authentic advice, and that’s what the Universal Man podcast does to the letter.
Greg and Damien provide some great experience and insights that will likely resonate in some way shape or form for anyone that listens. Many thanks guys for publishing such great content. Cheers BMcG #UM18

Absolutely beautiful

Words can’t express how beautiful this podcast is. It comprises short 15 minutes episodes on topics affecting men in the modern world. E.g. resilience. I stumbled across it after listening to “the inner chief” podcast. The two hosts work so well together. It has helped me in that there is not a lot of content out there like this for men. Especially Australian content. If you are looking for a little bit of guidance in life and keen to grow, then this podcast is for you.
