About this episode

Byron Hulsey and Sean Harvey discuss men's engagement and the importance of intentional formation during adolescence.

In this episode of The Woodberry Podcast , Headmaster Byron Hulsey is joined by Sean Harvey, founder of the Warrior Compassion Institute and a men’s engagement strategist whose work focuses on purpose, healing, and authentic connection. Byron and Sean explore how Sean’s work with men, helping them confront deeper questions of identity, meaning, and belonging, aligns closely with Woodberry Forest’s mission of knowing, challenging, and loving the boys in our care. Sean shares what he has learned from working with adult men who are seeking clarity and wholeness later in life, and why intentional formation during adolescence matters so deeply.

This episode offers a powerful perspective on what it means to raise young men prepared not just for success, but for meaningful lives.
