Failures Podcast
Failures Podcast is a raw, no-fluff self-development show for men navigating life without a manual.
Hosted by Rich and Justin, two lifelong friends with over 20 years of brotherhood, this podcast explores fatherhood, masculinity, legacy, discipline, regret, purpose, and generational healing through one unfiltered lens: failure.
Each week, they share real stories, hard lessons, and invisible influences that shaped who they’ve become, and how younger men can learn from it.
Whether you’re figuring out how to be a father, chasing financial freedom, trying to become more disciplined, or healing from the way you were raised, this show is for you.
We’re not gods. We’re not gurus.
Just two men who have lived, failed, grown, and learned the hard way so you don’t have to.
