You Don’t Need to Be Loud to Be a Real Man with Dal Houston
Manage episode 483106406 series 3478162
Hector sits down with Dal Houston — attorney, rancher, motivational speaker, and self-proclaimed “eccentric cowboy” — to challenge the worn-out scripts of modern masculinity. Together, they unpack the deep emotional power of personal style, the importance of expressing your individuality (even if it means rocking British riding boots to a UFC fight), and why aging should be about speeding up, not slowing down.
From growing up in a blue-collar world with little room for uniqueness, to discovering the grounding force of tall cowboy boots and bespoke fashion, Dal offers a refreshing, grounded, and unapologetic take on what it means to be a man today. This episode is a wake-up call for any man stuck in a life of “soul-deadening” sameness, reminding us that life should be lived “hard, fun, and full of expression.”
If you’ve ever felt out of place while trying to fit in — this one’s for you.
