We are Teddy and Luis, and we hope to be starting something that we
consider to be simple, yet life-changing. Our general premise here is
to provide an arena for men to engage the most trivial, hilarious, and
profound aspects of manhood. We find ourselves in a new era of
opportunity here in the 21st century, a time where the old-fashioned and
traditional view of a man - Provider, Strong, Masculine, Hard-Working,
In Control, Shows Little Emotion - has been exposed as the Emperor who has no clothes.
Being honest with ourselves about our insecurities and
difficulties can feel impossible under the weight of the expectations of
being a man, and it begs the question:
How can we figure out what to do when so many of us were taught to stay
quiet about our thoughts, emotions, and questions that we have as men?
I think we have a solution:
Just Make it OK to talk about it.
What Luis and I have found is that through all of life's major moments
and decisions, we were there for each other - sometimes before, during,
and after. We established the art of raw dialogue with another human
being who had the courage to be honest, open, and vulnerable with his
perspective, and that kept us from straying too far into the dark paths
of life. Furthermore, our bond helped to shape us into the men we are
today for our families, our friends, and ourselves.
What we would like to do is to expand this friendship with all of you
through the creation of our Podcast as well as a network of men who are
willing to learn from each other.
We can share thoughts, ideas, and companionship with others. We can
begin to think more deeply, exchange resources for navigating through
life, and establish a brotherhood meant for good. Stay tuned: This is
just the beginning...
This is The Buddy System
