Justin and Jamey on Friendship, Vulnerability, and Tough Love
The Man Enough Podcast
Introduction
The hosts engage in a personal conversation about their journeys of self-discovery and masculinity, sharing their insights and discussing areas for growth.
For the first time as a duo, Justin and Jamey sit down for a special episode on tough love —from friendship to envy and hard-to-swallow advice— nothing is off limits. They delve into the heart of masculinity, and personal growth (03:19) as they explore vulnerability as an untapped strength among men, share personal anecdotes of growth and self-awareness, and confront the often overlooked necessity of self-care amidst the call of service to others (06:52).
Justin shares his challenges with self-acceptance (22:58) and his desire for approval. Meanwhile, Jamey is challenged to spend more time in silence and find true joy in the “nothingness” of life. Tune in for a masterclass in the art of friendship, introspection, and emotional courage.

Quotes:
“Recently, I've been starting to experience some of what you experienced and some of the way you live your life. And suddenly, recently, joy is becoming more of my default. And I know that would be impossible without having you as my best friend.” - Justin Baldoni
“Friendship is in the nothingness.” - Jamey Heath
“I whisper into the ears of my kids, I tell them there's nothing that they could ever do to make me not love them. That they are enough just as they are.” - Justin Baldoni
“I'm on a constant journey to remember my enoughness. That's why I wrote the book and that's why I said in the book that I have not arrived.” - Justin Baldoni
“You do something really special, which is speak to the human heart. Certainly spoke to mine.” - Jamey Heath
