Roses Are Dead

Terry Roseland & Jones

Roses Are Dead is where hand-me-down myths die. We challenge the entry-level performance of manhood—holding doors, flashing wallets, staring at exits—and demand more: vision, discipline, emotional strength, and purpose. In this space men confront the myths they inherited, hold one another accountable, and rise as whole leaders. Masculinity isn’t a role to play; it’s a standard to live.

First Time in Houston

Roses Are Dead ·

2026/03/21

A TikTok trend turns private moments into trophies: men waking up first after a hookup, filming women while they sleep, and posting it as proof they “cracked.” We couldn’t let that slide, because the real story isn’t just immaturity. It’s how fast humiliation becomes normal when the algorithm rewards disrespect, and how quickly a few viral clips can teach an entire generation to distrust love. We break down what’s actually being sold in those videos: a red pill narrative that women aren’t wo...

The Truth About Going Into Business With Friends

Roses Are Dead ·

2026/03/14

Mixing business with friends and family feels like the ultimate loyalty play, until the first real problem shows up. We talk through why partnerships get shaky fast when expectations stay unspoken, roles are fuzzy, and one person starts keeping score. From workload to money to ego, we lay out the ground rules that keep the relationship intact while you try to build something real. We also connect the accountability mindset to everyday life, starting with parenting. When someone blames everyt...

Violence As A Language

Roses Are Dead ·

2026/03/08

The hardest part isn’t throwing a punch—it’s stopping yourself when your pride is screaming go. We dig into how boys learn to treat violence as a language and why that same reflex shows up decades later at the bar, in a crowd, or in the kitchen with our kids. The thread running through the wild stories and quiet confessions is powerlessness: that small, cornered feeling that makes a quick hit feel like control. We get real about the difference between anger and the emotions beneath it—shame,...

The Battle of Grief and Masculinity

Roses Are Dead ·

2026/02/28

The laughter fades fast when a cousin you worshipped shows up unrecognizable. That jolt sets off a candid deep dive into grief most men never name—losing people to addiction, mourning futures that vanished, and carrying the ache of absent fathers while trying to look “fine.” We open the hood on what really happens when pain has nowhere to land and why silence, hustle, and jokes become armor that eventually cracks. We don’t stop at the five stages. We map the messier terrain: anticipatory gri...

The Good Man Who Feels Left Behind

Roses Are Dead ·

2026/02/22

Healing doesn’t erase karma—and it doesn’t guarantee romance, rewards, or a clean slate. We open with a raw account of infidelity, therapy, and the uneasy space between “I did the work” and “Why isn’t it working?” From there, we rebuild what a good man actually looks like in practice: compassion that widens your worldview, integrity when no one’s watching, decision-making that accounts for outcomes, and a vision that keeps you aligned when life gets loud. We push past the internet’s shallow ...

What Makes Men Feel Insecure

Roses Are Dead ·

2026/02/14

A joke at a lunch table. A cousin’s throwaway comment. Two tiny moments that rewired how we saw ourselves and what we chased. We open up about the way insecurity starts as a spark and hardens into a script—how a kid who loved dance and led the band ended up proving manhood in the streets, and how that need for approval can quietly steer you off a path you actually wanted. We get honest about the pressure points most men won’t name out loud: tying worth to money and the “provider” myth, the g...

Why Men Struggle To Ask For Help

Roses Are Dead ·

2026/02/08

What if the bravest thing a man can do is ask for help? We open with a gut-punch story—kicked out at 17, sleeping in cars, forcing a smile—and follow the thread to a $20 lifeline, a cousin’s spare room, and a lesson pride kept from landing: you don’t have to carry it alone. Then Kenneth Ledale joins us. He’s a Chicago artist, owner of Royalty Rugs, and co-founder of Tuft House, with years in Iraq and Afghanistan, a father who chose to become an artist so his kids could walk through doors alre...

What Should Men Focus On in Thier Prime?

Intrusive Thoughts

We trade nostalgia for hard questions, moving from house-party anthems to a candid look at ambition, moral compasses, and why respect for the work outlasts hype.
