Servant Leadership and Relationships That Matter with John Rodenberg

Season 1 | Episode 5
36m | Nov 3, 2025

What does it mean to lead with humility, to serve with intention, and to build relationships that transcend roles, borders, traditions, and barriers?

In this final episode of Manhood & Manicures pilot season, Daniel spends time with John Rodenberg — nonprofit leader, global citizen, devoted husband, and proud father. As a seasoned fundraiser and Vice-President, John shares how relationship-building has been the cornerstone of his life's work, regardless of whether he's raising support for mission-driven causes or connecting hearts to vision.

We explore what it meant to be the "First Dude" while his wife served as a college president and how his decision to press pause on his own career to support her wasn’t about sacrifice, but about partnership. We talk parenting in a chaotic world, honoring the legacy of his veteran father, and the spiritual weight of living in service across cultures.
