Men at the Movies started in 2020 as a podcast about the movies we love and why we love them. More than two hundred episodes later, it became something bigger: a media company built around one thing — unlocking your story.

On YouTube, that's a conversation with a person about the movies they love and the life they're actually living. Away from YouTube, you can read the book Unlock Your Story, discover your free Story Reflection at unlockyourstory.org, or let us help you tell your own story through production and consulting.

Meet the Founder

Paul McDonald founded Men at the Movies in Charlotte, North Carolina. He spent more than twenty years working as a nurse, and while the setting has changed, the true work hasn’t: caring for the person in front of him, seeing the layer under the surface, and helping people find the story they're already living. He and his wife live in Charlotte near their kids, grandkids, and two dogs.
