What Griff’s New Book Reveals About Mothers, Sons, and the Journey from Boyhood to Manhood
At the center of the book is a simple but provocative idea: Mothers can raise sons, but mothers are not men. That statement will make some readers uncomfortable, but Griff leans into the discomfort with humor, compassion, and honesty.
Instead of attacking mothers, Griff honors mothers. His book is a love letter to his own mother, a woman who raised him with toughness, wisdom, sarcasm, resilience, and survival instincts after navigating life without the protection of a present father herself.
Griff reminds readers that many mothers are not trying to replace fathers because they want to. Many are trying because they feel they have no other option.

This past season, we welcomed an extraordinary lineup of guests who brought both expertise and vulnerability. From NFL legends to researchers, from trauma survivors to policy shapers, each conversation peeled back a layer of what it means to father in a society that makes that job harder than it needs to be.
