A Conversation with Brett McKay"},"content":{"rendered":"

Welcome back to Pizza Quest!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this episode, we welcome Brett McKay,<\/strong> the founder of the immensely popular website\/newsletter\/podcast, The Art of Manliness<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. For the past fifteen+ years Brett, along with his wife Kate, have been on their own quest to explore every aspect of what it means to be a man — really, a human — at this particular time in history. Their site has clearly struck a chord, as they have over a million followers (including listeners to their Art of Manliness (AOM) Podcast),<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>where they cover everything from the practical (like “How to Shave Like Your Dad” and “How to Properly Tie your Tie”), to the metaphysical and philosophical (Aristotle is a huge influence on their work and journey, as are many other well-known historical thought leaders), and they have posted over 1,000 episodes (1059 as of this week’s show on “The Science of Slowing Down Time”<\/em><\/strong><\/a>). Brett was kind enough to invite me onto his podcast and even kinder to reciprocate by coming onto Pizza Quest<\/em><\/strong>. There is a lot of kindred spiritedness here, as I think you will see and enjoy during this thoughtful conversation.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> Brett also shares some tips on how he and Kate grew their following into a full-time livelihood; tips that will prove useful to any of you who are trying to grow your own media platforms and brands — this is priceless advice!<\/p>\n
