About this episode

Joe Stopulos shares a treasured interview with his late father, Mike Stopulos, discussing faith, family, and heroic fatherhood.

In this deeply personal Heroic Fatherhood Revisited episode of Man Up, host Joe Stopulos shares a treasured keepsake interview with his late father, Mike Stopulos, on faith, family, and the meaning of heroic fatherhood. Mike reflects on the two men who shaped his life: his own father, a Greek-American B-17 pilot and Quad Cities theater owner who lived to 100, and his father-in-law Carl Liebscher, a calm and God-centered Catholic father of eight. Together they unpack servant leadership, lifelong devotion to a spouse, and why putting faith and family first is the heart of being a great father.
