Call To Courage

Has the rhythm of intimacy in your marriage changed? Has the lack of sex in your relationship become an unspoken elephant in the room? Do you want to rekindle the flame with your partner but feel uncertain about how to do that? Our closest relationships reflect our most powerful stories and patterns. They're a mirror for our deepest desires and an opportunity to stir up our unintegrated shadow. Combine this with our cultural awkwardness around intimacy and an unrealistic perception of how our sex lives should look - and it can leave you feeling bewildered, frustrated and sad. In this episode, Matt and Gareth share their various journeys of keeping the flame alive in their connections. Matt, who recently became a father, shares his journey back to intimacy with his partner - who is going through her journey with her body after having a child. He shares their commitment to radical honesty and a safe way to pause when either of them needs to regroup in their intimate moments. Gareth and his partner have decided not to become parents and share the challenges of keeping things spicy as they approach four years together. In addition to the commitment to honesty, he shares a tool called "fears and desires" that he uses before each love making session to create a safe and harmonious container for intimacy. In the last ten minutes of the episode, Matt and Gareth share their wins and lessons as they reflect on season one of the podcast. Gareth previews the upcoming season and the next iteration of Fathers Sons Brothers, including free digital men's circles and the Fathers Sons Brothers Partner program that you can use and facilitate in-person meet-ups in your community.

A wise person once said that "hanging onto resentment is like holding onto a lump of burning coal and hoping that it burns somebody else". Welcome to Unlocking Power Through Forgiveness. The word resentment has Latin roots, and its original meaning was "to feel again." Resentment comes from holding on to harm that was caused in the past. These old stories loop in your reality; they demand your attention and use bandwidth. A browser tab that's still open. Forgiveness is the key that closes the browser tab and releases the swirling resentment energy around that old story. You can allocate that RAM somewhere else in your life: to healing, manifestation or motivation. This meditation guides you to honour these experiences and recognise them as gifts on your path. Forgiveness releases these painful experiences and offers gentle freedom to your heart and mind. We hope you enjoy this Microdose.

Are you conscious of how your life unfolds through manifestation? Perhaps you've seen The Secret and already use The Law of Attraction to live your life by design. Or are you like Gareth was, unaware that this law was shaping his reality?The Law of Attraction operates like all laws. It's shaping your life, whether you believe in it or not. Think of it like the law of gravity; just because you don't believe in it doesn't mean you can step off a building and not tumble to the sidewalk below. In this week's episode, Gareth shares his journey about how he went from being a Law of Attraction sceptic to manifesting a million dollars and putting his life on a completely new trajectory. In this episode, you'll learn: What the Law of Attraction is, and how you can use it in your life. About the Reality Factory - a simple analogy that explains manifestation in a NON-WOO-WOO way. The six phases of the Manifestation Game Plan so that you can use The Law of Attraction to manifest the things you want into your life. A practical example of how Gareth used these tools to manifest his life partner. This micro-dose episode uses the power of stories and how making a story more accessible makes it easier to understand and implement. If you resonated with this episode, check out episode 6 of the podcast, where we unpack more stories and tools that support our community to create their lives by design.If you're interested in the subject of manifestation you might want to check out this blog post "Why men struggle with The Law of Attraction", and this video - "You don't need to improve your manifestation skill."

Do you worry about the markets crashing? Are you concerned about possible hyperinflation and its effect on you and your family? Our current financial system is broken. Our money works overtime for a privileged few while paying the rest lower than inflation interest rates. Centralised authorities are clinging to control of our financial systems. Controlling a financial system gives access to control a lot of energy. If we give this power away, it can be used against us. A social credit system, of sorts. We have to change how we "do money" to reclaim our power. The story of "hyperinflation" results from "hyper money printing". Your last paycheque is worth less today because we're bailing out a failing system. Could Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies have the potential to create a deflationary environment? Is it possible to live in a world where prices come down, and the profits made by the few return to the rest. Beware of knights in shining armour. Be cautious about the next financial solution presented, especially if it's created by the same actors that created this mess.This week on the Call To Courage Podcast, Gareth speaks to Rishi Bond a Bitcoin enthusiast and founder of the Bitcoin Lake Project. In this episode you'll learn: ⭐️ some of the problems with the current financial systems and some ideas of how to do money differently.⭐️ how fiat currency and Bitcoin differ.⭐️ an investment strategy you can implement and how to determine your monthly safety number.⭐️ how Gareth's early investment into Bitcoin investments made him a millionaire (for a while) - and changed his life path.

How do you describe your business? Everyone in it for themselves? When someone wins, someone else loses? In this episode, Matt and Gareth share their entrepreneurial journeys and how they've reframed their relationship with business from competition to collaboration. Gareth reflects how not having a coach or mentor on their business journey held them back. Matt unpacks the importance of developing your project's avatar, so your message resonates. They also talk about the power of consciously developing your personal brand. The foundational tool they use is a "Personal Brand Manual". A simple document where you define: What you love to do. Your unique skill set. A project that the world needs. A way to get paid for this work. This document provides the direction and purpose for this part of your life. You don't have to spend the next ten years working on something, just for the paycheck, unless you want to. Do you want to develop your personal brand manual? Join Gareth and Matt as they guide you through a self-paced 6-week experience to get clear on how you want to show up in the world and how to find your tribe so that you get paid for your work.

The stories you tell about the things in your life shape how things become in "reality". So bringing awareness to our stories brings attention to how we create our reality. This episode has two purposes. The first is to tell a story about the importance of stories. The second is to create an index card of the words and language that we've given to the various elements that make up the Fathers Sons Brothers community. When we use language that you're unfamiliar with in the future, you can come back to this card and go to the timestamp below to see what that tool, system or concept is.You'll hear how Matt and Gareth have been intentional about how they've named the various concepts that they share. Gareth explains how when he didn't resonate with how manifestation was being taught, so he blocked it. - He also shares his new story about The Law of Attraction called The Reality Factory. If you want to use the tools and systems shared in this podcast - this episode is foundational. ___________________ Timestamps: (00:01:54) - A story about the power of stories(00:08:45) - Intro (00:10:59) - Lifestyle Design(00:11:27) - Reality Hacker(00:12:58) - My Life OS(00:14:25) - Call To Courage(00:15:33) - 8 sacred pillars(00:16:50) - My perfect day script(00:17:51) - Reality Factory(00:18:26) - Placing Orders(00:19:08) - Paying for your Order(00:20:36) - Order board(00:21:46) - Order Confirmations(00:23:54) - Order Delivered(00:25:10) - Pre-Game(00:27:01) - Post-Game(00:28:31) - Future State(00:29:58) - Future State Walking(00:32:07) - Rattlesnake story Resources and Links: Boat party order confirmation Is that my boat?https://youtu.be/aq_72DOVydY Boat party order delivered A Perfect Day For a Boat Partyhttps://youtu.be/ZUlIkm6nvTI This was a video of an order delivered https://fb.watch/cojgomJAhy/ ___________________ Join The Conversation.

We can manifest whatever financial abundance we desire, but time is a finite resource. In this Micro-dose episode, Matt offers an exercise to work through if you're considering a change in your “work-life” balance or you're calling in more financial abundance. If you don't have 13 mins for the audio version, you can install the 5 step process taken from Matt's notebook below. Time is precious, do work you love. Prepare: Clear some space. Turn off your devices. Eliminate distractions. Create the space for you to focus on this exercise for 20 minutes. Close your eyes and imagine a day that's far enough into the future that you are free from any constraints that you perceive are currently holding you back... like you've been given a magic wand that transforms you from your current situation to a perfect day in a life that's exactly how you designed it to be... You wake up in your dream home... next to your perfect partner... maybe there's a few kids running around that weren't there before... Whatever your perfect day looks like, there's an element to it where you're working, creating, earning income, and giving back to the world.... and give yourself permission to really dream big here and get in touch with that dream job or that perfect work life balance scenario that's alive in you... that's what I want you to really vibe into and focus on. Step 1: - You're going to open your eyes... grab your piece of paper... and I want you to make a list of the tangible elements that are present in your work... things like... do you work for yourself or for a company that you love and believe in?... do you work on your own or with a team of people? Do you work from home or somewhere else? What types of objects are present in your work space? What type of work are you doing? Working with your hands? Working with you mind? Are you on a computer most of the day? Are you painting? Are you on a boat? Are you giving talks in front of an audience? What type of people are you working and collaborating with? Do you have to wake up with an alarm clock? Do you work on your own time? For me, I want to be able to work from anywhere... Maybe you don't know what that is yet, and that's ok... instead focus on how it feels. Step 2: - I want you to imagine what it feels like when you are working. Hopefully in your perfect work scenario you're not frustrated or feeling stressed... so how are you feeling? For me, I want to feel valued for my ideas. I want to feel validated by the other people working along side of me. I want to feel excitement as my ideas get birthed and implemented into a greater strategy. Inspired. How do you want to feel? Step 3: - I want you to focus on how your work makes the world a better place. How the world is aligned to your values. How is it impacting the world around you. How does it improve the lives of others? How does it help others. How does it help nature. How does it help your clients? How does it contribute to a better community or global ecosystem? Step 4: - Let's focus on the income you receive from doing this work. Do you have an amount in mind? If so, write it down. Do you get paid hourly, monthly, or in chunks? How do you get paid? Is money arriving directly to your bank account? Are you getting paid in cryptocurrency? Do you get paid in cash? I want you to identify the medium and picture the act of it arriving to you. Imagine that moment of seeing your account balance going up when your payment arrives. How does that moment feel for you? For me, it's been a while since I've had this feeling, but I do remember it... that feeling of refreshing my online bank balance and see that direct transfer hitting and my current balance going up an extra 10,000 bucks. For me, it felt like relief and a lightness knowing that the money was there. It would then be followed by excitement knowing I could purchase that plane ticket or that thing I was waiting on buying until I got paid. What are the emotions you associate with getting paid for doing work you love? Write them down. Step 5: - The final part is I want you to write down elements of how having this work changes your life... What I mean by that are things like... How do your vacations change? What do your friends and family think of you now that you're doing this work? Are they proud of you? Do you have more or less spare time and what are you now doing with it? How does it feel when you describe your work to people who you are meeting for the first time. ___________________ Join The Conversation. Do you want to participate in courageous conversations?
