In this final episode of Manhood & Manicures pilot season, Daniel spends time with John Rodenberg — nonprofit leader, global citizen, devoted husband, and proud father. As a seasoned fundraiser and Vice-President, John shares how relationship-building has been the cornerstone of his life's work, regardless of whether he's raising support for mission-driven causes or connecting hearts to vision.

We sit down with Ray Miles, a serial entrepreneur, multi-business owner, nonprofit founder, and relentless community builder. From government contracting to streetwear, youth mentorship, and second-chance advocacy, Ray leads with an unmatched selflessness rooted in his purpose.

A Powerful Reminder: “Don’t let your actions take you to a place where your character can’t sustain you.” In this special episode — the first in our Wo-Manhood & Manicures series — Daniel sits down with Stephanie Sutton, TV Host, Producer, and Founder of Dream Pusher Co., a storytelling and vision-building studio for women. 

In this powerful conversation, Pastor Simon Richardson of Grace Change Church opens up about the lessons that have shaped his journey as a man, minister, and leader. Pastor Rick reflects on the wisdom passed down from his father, the strength he’s discovered in singleness, and the ways faith shapes his vision of leadership.

Dr. Phil Wagner is a Clinical Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at William & Mary's Raymond A. Mason School of Business. In this episode, Dr. Phil chats with Daniel about his research on body image in college-aged men, his own fitness and health journey that he shares with his wife, and the joys of parenthood.
