TNMU #152: Rules to Teach Your Son

The Next Man Up | Equipping Fathers | Raising Men - A podcast by Mark Stanifer

What rules are important to teach your son? What are the things you want him to know before he launches? Do you have a list? Are you looking for some more ideas to add to your list? Someone on Facebook provided a list of 32 rules which is an interesting compilation to debate and discuss, so Mark and Josh decided to do just that in today’s episode.   Music Credit: "Funkorama" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)   NEW Forging Men Video Course: https://thenextmanup.com/forgingmen NRT Podcast Network: https://www.newreleasetoday.com/podcasts.php   Expanded Notes: 1.
