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.

Know Your Worth: Same Water, Different Shelf (Ep:9)
This episode of Man in Progress – Forging Manhood explores how worth is forged, not given. It begins with a simple parable: a bottle of water costs fifty cents at the supermarket, two dollars at the gym, three at the movies, and six on a plane. The water doesn’t change, only its context does. We draw a line to personal worth: your value isn’t the sticker price someone slaps on you; it’s how your gifts meet someone’s need.
Through raw stories of addiction recovery and fatherhood lived on the edge of scarcity, and reflections on Benedictine monks and St. Francis of Assisi, we unpack what it means to recognize and refine your tools, skill, character, and fit, and to place yourself where those tools matter most. You’ll learn daily rituals that protect your self-worth, how to pour your strength where it truly counts, and how to measure worth without comparing price tags. If you’ve ever felt discounted, misused, or misplaced, this episode invites you to step into the forge, reset your shelf, and remember you are not broken; you are a man in progress.
You’re not broken. You’re not behind.
You’re just a man in progress. 🔥
