    SAM BALDONI: SEEING DAD AS FULLY HUMAN
    What prevents parents and children from sharing their struggles and stories with each other and what valuable benefits are unlocked when they do? Justin’s dad, Sam Baldoni-producer and entertainment industry marketing pioneer-joins his son for an intimate and emotional conversation where they both open up to each other in ways they never have before. They share their perspectives and challenges as fathers and sons, including:
    -- The pressure and detriment of upholding the image of being superman
    -- Breaking through the invisible barrier that keeps us from having honest conversations about sex, financial struggles, aging, and intimacy
    -- Generational patterns they have perpetuated and the ones they want to break
    By modeling what it looks like when we show up and open up, Sam and Justin invite us to stay present-even when it gets uncomfortable-and to find the humanity in each other, including in our parents.
    The Man Enough Podcast is produced by Wayfarer Studios and presented by Procter and Gamble, in partnership with Cadence 13, an Audacy company.

    Have you ever seen a video of two men, father and son, talking to each other about their resentments, lacks and needs, crying, being vulnerable, sharing traumas that have never even spoken about in their entire life? A man saying: “I just want my daddy” and them sharing a deeply meant looking into each other's eyes, I love you. Thank you for breaking the internet, this video is GOLD!
    Gratefulness and admiration to Sam Baldoni for showing up in representation of all of our absent parents, taking it all in, and sharing his amazing heart. This conversation heals me on a deeper level every time I watch it. Gracias Gracias Gracias.

    I wish I had a dad like Sam. And I’m kinda upset that I can’t talk with my dad about this kind of things even if I wanted, I’m so thankful for being able to listen to your dad, helps me think about the traumas that our parents has been through that they don’t share, and that’s why they are the way they are. I’m 19 and I already know that this is the way that I should speak with my kids someday. This potcast has helped me so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Im a woman and im so addicted to your podcast esp this episode it really brought me to my knees. The reason i love Justin is in a world where musclinity is modelled by partriachal belief systems you are coming forth with a new perspective, insights and wisdom from a space of compassion and authenticity that resonates esp with most women when it comes to muscline dynamics we are accustomed to. You are showing us what we never saw growing up or what we never knew existed. You are challenging the status quo. You are a true representation of what this world really needs or showing us what a man should be like not only by speaking about it but living it. Not that you are perfect but your vulnerability, oppeness is what sparks and illuminates your light to reflect and resonate with the humanness in all of us.Im obsessed with how you show up for yourself and your wife, your family. It really melts my heart and i always wish all men can learn something from you. Im glad i found you, i learn a lot from you sir. Hopefully one day i will engage in these conversations with you on my talkshow called Soulfood with Hellen, it will be an honor to get this messege around esp in the context of out African culture because these are not the kind of conversations that we hear so often here in Africa.

    I just discovered this podcast, well in fairness my husband sent it to me. I am so hooked. There are things you talk about that I have felt for over two decades.
    I appreciate the vulnerability.
    I wish more men commented on this, majority was women - which is great, but wish more men were engaging. We are afraid to be vulnerable. Even in the comments, it’s amazing how even women have negative comments basically questioning integrity and masculinity of the podcast which strikes me as ironic.
    I would love to hear from Liz about Stockholm syndrome regarding women and toxic masculinity. Hard to be vulnerable in a space for some men if they will be attacked by women for doing that. We have to be individually strong, but societal pressures are a hard thing to overcome. I’m lucky, I was gay and had the shit kicked out of me, so I had to stop caring about what people thought a long time ago. For straight guys, the world is different and hard.
    I thank you for all you do with this podcast and I’m gonna buy your book.

    With every flippin episode my mind just opens up right along with my heart. This is a podcast like no other. It opens my mind, my heart and my intellect with deep subjects through so many perspectives and I absolutely love it. It's life changing and there is a sense of home that I feel as I'm listening. On this specific episode I realized as a single Mom how much I've put on myself to pick up the pieces that a Dad broke or to be strong and resilient like a "dad should be" because my kids don't have their dads. It's so much weight, and to hear that it is hard for men to do was something i never heard before. Thank you so much for ur podcast and to everyone's vulnerability and the willing to do better even when it hurts and when it's heavy. Thank you, I'm eagerly waiting to talk to my kids on these topics and can't wait to see what's next 🙌💚

    This has been the most scathingly vulnerable interview with Justin Baldoni's Father. It took a bit of uncomfortable squirming to get through their intimate talk. I was touched so deeply by their sharing. The Baldoni's are not typical and stand in deep love and respect for their family. Thank you. Nothing else to say but I love you both and so grateful for you sharing with us all.

    I really connected with a lot of what was said here and admire the vulnerability that was had here. Forgive me if things have changed since but I came here from the Alok episode on autoplay and I'd like to say, I really wish they had Alok in this episode. What they spoke about “raise your child as a child” was important because to us, we see cis people separating children and doing these mental gymnastics about how things impact boys and girls differently (what kind of trauma you will get) and we get left out of that equation. I am currently having these conversations with my dad as a transmasc nonbinary person. My other transmasc friend sent me the episode. I in turn sent my father the Alok episode and this episode. Thank you for having these conversations. Your dad has a cool ring.

I just had recently started to go more into myself and to reflect on my relationship with my parents and this episode was so eye opening. I haven’t read your book nor have I listened to any other episode. I actually found a scene of this episode on my TikTok for you page and went straight here to watch it. I’m going to order your book right now and I can’t wait to read it. Thanks for this and for opening up publicly about your personal life. I took a lot from only one episode already!

  • @lindseyedward9775

    Okay a few more things: 100% let go of resentment. Forgive freely. Those moments with our parents are so important for our emotional growth, saying, " I'm so grateful for you." And maybe for them. Lovely. I feel a barrier with my mother as well. I believe, Justin, it's all about expectations. I love this conversation. Same here, as a woman, at 10, and I've never admitted that. Smh. Mom never talked to me about sex either. Subconsciously I think it's unrealistic expectations of people, knowing their history, their personality... if expectations are too high, you'll be disappointed. Still, my mom and I, even though our relationship is better, we struggle to communicate. Congratulations on this conversation with your dad! I applaud him for doing this and congratulate your parents for drawing closer. Ugh! I love Sam's answer, "Because we weren't open!" You can tell he is on his own journey of learning and mindfulness, to be supportive of his son, and honest with himself. I cried all the way.
    "You showed up, and you listened." 🤧

As a fellow man myself, it's reassuring to see a man like Justin be so comfortable with having these uncomfortable conversations. This episode made me tear up because I plan on having the same type of conversation with my father. Like Justin's dad, he's open to digging deeper to build our relationship and taking accountability for his actions.

  • @whataboutabby

    THANK YOU JUSTIN, SAM BALDONI, JAMEY AND LIZ!! I feel like I learned so much about how boys experience their parents/ fathers. As a girl, I feel like I was socialized to believe that boys didn’t have feelings. I would have never had insight about a son’s desire for deep connection with his father had someone/ you not shared. I relate so much to what you said about needing to know that your dad was actually a regular person. I’ve had that same experience with my mother (I’m a woman). I too never had ANY real intimate or vulnerable experiences with my parents because it wasn’t emotionally (& sometimes physically) safe or at least I felt it wasn’t. THANK YOU for documenting and sharing such a potent and vulnerable conversation, I cried this entire episode, thank you ❤️‍🔥

    Justin, I commend you for having these talks. It takes time to work on opening up with family to have these talks, especially the older generations. My relationship with my parents sounds similar to the one your dad had with his parents. Becoming a parent was the greatest thing that occurred in my life to make me reflect on the relationship with my parents. They are 78 now, and I'm still working on having these talks.
    Thank you for you all for sharing your wisdom and empathy with the world :)

    in our relationships with our parents specially with fathers , we need 2 things..

    I recall a phrase for Denzel Washington in one of his movies which says "Don't you try and go through life worrying about if somebody like you or not. You best be making sure they doing right by you."
    And if your parents do fail in at least doing right by you they are no longer parents .

Racently I have started to share more with my dad and I hope that soon we can get more vulnerable with eachother. By the way, I think therapy is great I've been doing it for 20 years, but I have also came across some therapist that also manipulate you a lot. Reacently I met one who told me that no vulnerability was all I was going to get from my father beacause that is hoy men share. It made me thought I understood nothing about realtionships. Thank you again for this podcast which made me realise how wrong this man is.

You seems relaxed and you were so open and honest and he was so receptive without getting upset and I think that alone speaks to how Man Enough he is. I Love you guys and keep doing great things.

    I wish I could have such healing conversations with both my biological dad and step dad. Having the chance to understand your parent more gives you so much insight on your childhood and how you were raised, but also insight on why your parents may have done the mistakes they did and how you can prevent them from happening with your own children. Being a 21 years old with so called 'daddy issues', hearing this conversation healed me a little in it's own way. Thank you for sharing! x

    thank you! once again y'all made me emotional and reassure that I can too have these conversations with my Dad. We often disagree on issues due to our opinions and mentally being so different but end of the day I know my dad is doing his best. Hope the more I talk to him about Man Enough the more he will open up to uncomfortable conversations.

    I had both, the father who wasn't around physically and a step-father who wasn't around emotionally. I wish I would've had a dad like Sam or even Justin Baldoni!!! The things you guys are talking about, I NEVER talked with my dad or my step-dad about. This is why we are not talking to this day!!!

    Justin you're so lucky to get this opportunity to talk to your own dad so openly and honestly. Very few get this openness from their parents. A lot of parents are confused or defensive or just too closed or scared to express. Thank you for sharing this, I can relate to many things. Keep the podcast up!

    Wow that conversation you and your dad had as father and son was absolutely amazing and emotion at the same time cause I feel like not a lot of people in this world have the chance to have private conversations with there own dad and it sucks but the fact that you had a good conversation with your dad was so amazing that you guys were able to open up about a lot of things God bless you both always and forever ❤️❤️🙏🙏 btw we should also one day have conversations with our own kids in the future as well as either mother and daughter or mother with son or dad with son or dad with daughter as well and get the chance to open up to one another as well as we can cause we never know when we won't be here anymore and we will be left out with out having any conversations with our own kids in the future and then they would be left wondering a lot and asking themselves a lot of questions they won't ever have answers to ❤️❤️ btw once again let me tell you Justin your dad looks good for his age may God bless him always and forever and I love watching your men enough podcast ❤️❤️

    I loved this and it brought tears to my eyes several times as my dad and I never had a super close relationship. We moved away from him when I was very young because he made some mistakes. Even though I’ve been hurt by some of those things that doesn’t make him less than a person or make him not an incredible dad because he has come so far in his journey. And even though I act like it doesn’t bother me most days that I don’t have a close relationship with him physically, of course it does. So I am going to work on putting in more effort towards my dad and becoming as close to him as I can now even though we’ve lost so much time with each other. Thank you for doing this podcast, I’ll say that every single time. It has truly helped me in so many way and I’m sure I’m not the only one. 💕

    OMG once again ya'll got me in my emotions! This is a perfect example of how we can, as parents, hold a safe place for our kids to speak their truth. Like Sam, I too was SuperWoman, impenetrable, guard up, never vulnerable. If I showed weakness, I feared crashing down. Guess what, I crashed anyway...when putting the pieces back together, I had to for the first time in their lives, share my story with my kids. I had to be vulnerable and not defensive when they in turn shared how I messed them up. I had to listen to their truth, chew it and swallow it, and not defend it, in order for them to trust me and the healing I wanted to bring into our family. Sex talk!!!! Yo, I had to sit my oldest down at 8 - because in our family girls get their periods at a very early age and I didn't want her to get scared if it happened when I wasn't there. Age appropriate language, but I explained enough. All of my children were taught about inappropriate touching, I never forced them ,to hug or kiss relatives because that teaches them not to trust their God given instincts, that their feelings don't matter. Children have a sixth sense about people. There was a lot a did well for my babies, and yet still enough that I need to make amends for. The journey continues...
