Episode notes

In this episode, Chris and Shaun are joined by friend and MenLiving Executive Director, Todd Adams, to explore the last lecture of Father Michael Himes. Father Himes was a theologian, philosopher and an instructor at both the University of Notre Dame and Boston College. He made an enormous impact on Chris when he was a student at Notre Dame and on all of us as fans of his "last lecture." They discuss integrity, friendship, giving one's self, tell me your story, uttering the definitive message and more.
