Man in Progress: Forging Manhood
Man in Progress: Forging Manhood is a raw, real podcast for men building better marriages, stronger fatherhood, and steadier character. Hosted by Travis Murray, a father of four and voice-over artist, the show dives into men’s mental health, marriage, fatherhood, communication, discipline, integrity, identity, responsibility, and purpose. We talk healing and shame. We talk sex and trust. We talk legacy and the work it takes to grow up on the inside.
Each episode feels like time at the anvil. We heat the truth, name resistance, and turn values into action you can use the same day. Stories are honest. Reflections are practical. The goal is not image. The goal is resilience you can carry into your home, your work, and your kids’ future.
If you’re engaged, newly married, co-parenting, raising a blended family, or trying not to lose your mind, this is your forge. No gurus. No fake alpha talk. Just men, in progress.

Man in Progress: Forging Manhood
Choose Your Steel: Courage, Truth, or Loyalty, Then Fold It Daily (Ep. 3)
Choose one value. Fold it daily. Strike when it counts. The quench is coming.
Every man wants to be the mountain, but brittleness shatters under pressure. In this episode of Man in Progress: Forging Manhood, host Travis Murray walks you through a field test for the soul: pick one core value (truth, courage, or loyalty), fold it through daily alignment, then strike, close the intention-action gap and make your value real under heat. From Shackleton’s loyalty, to chaptered repetition, to the final inspection before the quench, this is how men build reflex, not rhetoric.
You’ll learn:
- How to pick a single, high-friction value that exposes weakness, and strengthens it
- Why daily, value-congruent actions become instinct over time
- How to strike (embody the value) when hesitation would cool the steel
- The inspection step most men skip before life’s cold test, the quench
