In Episode 60 of Men Pursuing More, host Roger Maupin sits down with former NFL kicker Rhys Lloyd to talk about identity, resilience, and purpose beyond the game. Rhys shares his journey from growing up in Dover, England, to moving to Apple Valley, Minnesota at 15, leaving friends behind and using sports as the bridge to connection and belonging. At Eastview High School, he balanced soccer, track, and football—earning offers to play soccer after high schoolwhile eventually becoming the kicker for the University of Minnesota.

Rhys opens up about his path to the NFL, time in NFL Europe, and the difficult transition when professional football ended. Now a husband and father of three boys, Rhys reflects on why coaching became so rewarding after the NFL—allowing him to pour into others, understand what makes people tick, and lead with both accountability and care. This episode challenges men to stay authentic, focus on character over outcomes, and truly enjoy the journey they’re on.

Christmas isn’t just a season—it’s a calling. Become the man God designed you to be.”

In this special Christmas episode of The Brotherhood Exchange, host Roger Maupin sits down with Aaron Topp and Grayson Pruittfor a powerful conversation centered on the true meaning of Christmas—the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior and King. Beyond the lights, gifts, and traditions, this episode calls men back to the heart of the season: Emmanuel—God with us.

Together, these men reflect on how their relationship with Christ has shaped their faith, identity, and purpose over time. They share personal stories of redemption, spiritual wake-up moments, and the mentors and disciplines God used to form them into the men—and pastors—they are today. Through honest dialogue and biblical truth, they explore why Christmas is a sacred reminder that hope entered the world, lives can be transformed, and no man is beyond God’s reach.

This conversation is especially for the man who feels weary, distant, or searching this Christmas. Whether you’re deeply rooted in faith, returning to church, or simply curious about Jesus, this episode offers encouragement, invitation, and a reminder that Christ came not to condemn—but to save.

In Episode 58 of Men Pursuing More, host Roger Maupin sits down with Brian “Baldy” Wheeler for a powerful conversation about resilience, redemption, and purposeful leadership. Brian shares his journey growing up near St. Louis, navigating instability in high school, and finding direction through football—from his senior year in Chester, Illinois to playing at the University of Missouri. He opens up about youthful hustle, hard lessons that led to federal probation, and becoming a father at 23, experiences that reshaped his path in business and life. The conversation also highlights Brian’s work providing meals for Minnesota Gopher Athletics and his close, values-driven relationship with Head Football Coach P.J. Fleck, where trust, consistency, and second chances are lived out daily. From surviving the 2008 economic crash to launching a BBQ restaurant, serving on city council, and living out his faith, Brian’s story is a reminder that when purpose meets opportunity, men can rewrite their story and pursue more.

In Episode 57 of the Men Pursuing More Podcast, host Roger Maupin sits down with Ben Muresan—widely known as Humble—to uncover a story shaped by resilience, faith, and unshakable drive. Born in 1985 under communist rule in Romania, Ben shares how his family escaped before the revolution, lived in an Austrian refugee camp, and eventually immigrated to Canada in search of a better life. As the oldest of nine children growing up with limited resources, Ben’s desire to create opportunity—not just for himself but for others—became the fuel that helped him rise from humble beginnings to becoming a millionaire by age 30.

Roger and Ben explore the heart behind his book Communism to Capitalism, his mission to help newcomers and everyday men achieve financial freedom, and the moment the two met at a Life Surge event—an encounter that sparked Roger’s own journey into writing, podcasting, and coaching. Ben also opens up about his passion for gratitude, abundance, serving others, and creative expression through music. This episode delivers raw honesty, practical wisdom, and the inspiration men need to step boldly into purpose and build a life of meaning.

“From Small-Town Roots to a Fishing YouTube Channel with 94,000+ Subscribers.”

In Episode 54 of Men Pursuing More, we sit down with Caleb Wistad, who takes us through his amazing journey from plumber in Spooner, Wisconsin to turning his passion for fishing into a YouTube channel with over 94,000+ loyal subscribers. Caleb shares the lessons learned from small-town life, leadership roles, and hands-on work that shaped his resilience, character, and willingness to take risks. He also talks about how his lifelong passion for fishing and hunting—nudged by his wife’s encouragement to post a simple photo on Instagram—unexpectedly sparked a new direction.

Caleb walks us through his early hesitation with filming, hitting his first 1,000 subscribers, and the persistence that helped him grow his YouTube channel to over 94,000 subscribers. He breaks down the process of recording alone, filming in different locations, learning to edit, and analyzing data to understand what truly resonates. Caleb also shares why he stepped away from his successful plumbing business, the best advice he’s ever received, the people who shaped him, and his final thoughts for men striving to grow personally and professionally.
