May 28, 2024 SUMMARY What does it mean to be half-baked? On the outside, that loaf of bread is hot and brown, but inside, its still wet, slimy, and unhealthy to eat.

Ep 32 What Really Matters part 6, True Identity with Steve Roskamp
Next Stage Podcast for Men by Sherpa Unlimited. Rob Stout, host.
Ep 32 What Really Matters part 6, True Identity with Steve Roskamp PUB Date – Wednesday, April 30, 2025 SUMMARY “My past does not define me” is a popular phrase. It seems when times are good, we don’t mind being defined as successful, the go-to-guy, or the GOAT – the greatest of all time. We don’t see Michael Jordan brandishing his pair of three-peat national championship rings and defensively shouting into the camera, “basketball does not define me!” When times aren’t good, however, it seems like we hear that phrase more. Maybe it’s a broken relationship, a business that...

Next Stage Podcast for Men by Sherpa Unlimited. Rob Stout, host.
