In this episode of The Restorative Man Podcast, Cody Buriff and Jesse French dive into the world of DIY—not just the hands-on projects, but the deeper emotional and psychological layers that come with them. They get real about the pressure men feel to be self-reliant and competent, the unspoken struggle of asking for help, and why just knowing how to do something isn’t the same as actually growing through it.

Through personal stories and honest reflections, Cody and Jesse unpack what it means to learn, to be vulnerable, and to show up—not just for projects, but for people. They remind us that transformation doesn’t happen in isolation but through community, support, and the willingness to be seen beyond our achievements.
