Andrew Tate has become a social media phenomenon, tapping into a large consensus of what masculinity has become. But is he right, or just a great marketer? Honestly, we love that he has the guts to say what he believes, but would we let him date our daughter? That's another story.Like every other man, there are wounds and traumas that create a deformed masculinity that, left unhealed, will cause us to have opinions that live in the extremes.

It seems that the new royalty in culture is the group that can self-actualize the loudest while at the same time tearing down and trampling over whatever stands in its way. Historical or traditional societal norms are now vulgar ideas.Masculinity is chief amongst these terrors. But we at Renovating Masculinity Podcast are suckers for defending truth. We love words, their historicity and the honest dialogue we can have with them. That's why culture's redefining of the word 'masculinity' got us talking today.Support Us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/renovatingmasculinityConnect with RM:FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/renovatingmasculinityWebsite: https://www.renovatingmasculinity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/renovatingmasculinityTwitter: https://twitter.com/renomasculinitySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's with hope that Renovating Masculinity acknowledges that Damar is “showing signs of improvement.”The young, healthy and well-respected NFL safety was injured while millions looked on. It literally stopped and captured not only sports radio but mainstream reporting as well. From an ESPN personality praying live on air to a segment of Sports Center opening with “there is power in prayer," we discuss not only our hope for his recovery, but also the change that seems to be a result of this young man's injury.Damar's Chasing M's Foundation Community Toy Drive:https://www.gofundme.com/f/mxksc-the-chasing-ms-foundation-community-toy-driveSupport Us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/renovatingmasculinityConnect with RM:FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/renovatingmasculinityWebsite: https://www.renovatingmasculinity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/renovatingmasculinityTwitter: https://twitter.com/renomasculinitySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's Christmastime, but Divorce Day 2023 is right around the corner. In this episode, we continue the series on the top marriage destroyers.Marriage is the most difficult union, the most fragile to maintain, and simultaneously the most rewarding communion. With a few simple skill sets you can protect your relationship, but without them it's headed the wrong direction.

Did you know that January 6 has been dubbed as "Divorce Day?" While the holidays are in full swing, bringing presents under the tree, mistletoe, candy canes, movies, and food, there's a devastating possibility of generational change lurking in the background. While dinners and presents are being planned, there's another, more sinister plan taking shape: spouses contemplating and planning their divorce. But there is hope. You don't have to become a statistic. Listen in as JT and Anthony give you the heads up on how to unplan the plan of divorce.Support Us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/renovatingmasculinityConnect with RM:FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/renovatingmasculinityWebsite: https://www.renovatingmasculinity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/renovatingmasculinityTwitter: https://twitter.com/renomasculinitySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It doesn't take much effort to get a 'train full' of support when it comes to preaching the dangers of sharing the planet with a despicable bunch of testosterone-soaked men. That may be a bit over-stated, but so is James Cameron's theory that “testosterone is a 'toxin' that men should work out of their system." To say we had some fun discussing this is an understatement.Support Us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/renovatingmasculinityConnect with RM:FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/renovatingmasculinityWebsite: https://www.renovatingmasculinity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/renovatingmasculinityTwitter: https://twitter.com/renomasculinitySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you dread the upcoming holiday season because of the same old relational issues, have you considered that the change might need to come from you? As men, it is our responsibility to be aware of and navigate potential relational issues during this time of year filled with mothers, fathers, in-laws, friends, uncles, even the family dog.

It's that time of year again, in which we love to invite our good friend, author, and speaker, Stephen Mansfield, to share with us the original story of Thanksgiving.

Talking about sex with guys is easy! We just stick to classic one-liners we learned at the barbershop or hanging out under the street light as teenagers. It was all oversimplified, filled with made-up escapades and things that other guys lie about! Yep, it was funny and we all walked away laughing, but did we really learn anything of value? I didn't. Take those same guys and ask for some real advice on say, sex toys, ed, premature ejaculation or not being able “finish the job” for your wife and see if things continue to flow so smoothly.So it is at that point that we pick up the discussion in this week's episode.Connect with RM:FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/renovatingmasculinityWebsite: https://www.renovatingmasculinity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/renovatingmasculinityTwitter: https://twitter.com/renomasculinitySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, JT and Anthony sit down with international leader and author, Steve Berger. As a public figure and confidant to many of our nation's leaders, Steve is often maligned, but he is still never afraid to confidently share his beliefs. With him, we discuss the foundations of courage, sacrifice, and why it's important as men to be more than just males.Royal Manhood:https://www.amazon.com/Royal-Manhood-James-Isaac-Vance/dp/1236035062Connect with Steve:Website: https://steveberger.org/Connect with RM:FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/renovatingmasculinityWebsite: https://www.renovatingmasculinity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/renovatingmasculinityTwitter: https://twitter.com/renomasculinitySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There is a truth about chivalry and honor that you will not hear in the mainstream. The agenda of those in control of information seems to be content with the process of emasculation.Today, the guys discuss how defining chivalry as a more modern term could help men and women understand the intent of those who practice this behavior on a daily basis without looking for something in return.We can live honorable lives, and we feel that's exactly what the majority espouse to do. The real question is, what areas are you not living honorably and how can you change that?Support Us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/renovatingmasculinityConnect with Us:FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/renovatingmasculinityWebsite: https://www.renovatingmasculinity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/renovatingmasculinityTwitter: https://twitter.com/renomasculinitySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Masculinity in 2022 is like a huge science project. Or is it more like a mad scientist's lab? There's so much that has been in this grand experiment that is no more. And much of it rightly needed to die. But at the crux of masculinity has always been the idea of using what ever is inert in a man being used for the sake of others. Today, we look at the idea of chivalry and critically ask: has it outlived its usefulness?Support Us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/renovatingmasculinityConnect with Us:FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/renovatingmasculinityWebsite: https://www.renovatingmasculinity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/renovatingmasculinityTwitter: https://twitter.com/renomasculinitySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What is it about the extremes of masculinity that culture seems to focus on? Men are either sex crazed, misogynistic, lazy buffoons or intelligent, handsome, Superman-like heroes.In reality, it's the men who understand and accept personal responsibility that make the biggest impact in their own lives, and the lives of those in their sphere.

There are sometimes dozens of interactions with people we care about in a single day, most of which are low level, superficial and phony. Even when we muster up the kindness to speak, and God forbid, actually ask “How are you?” we don't really want to know. Do we? You can change a life by simply creating space for real connections.

Perseverance is what builds mental fortitude, and the overprotection of our society has greatly limited this opportunity for men, resulting in soft males.

You're under the influence more than you realize: the influence of others. Influence, be it positive or negative, is happening to us and by us whether we realize it or not.

Sometimes we undress sex down to sophomoric terms: position, duration, frequency, climax, ejaculation...Overlooking the deeper subjects. Man that's lazy! Also, is the whole idea of “happy wife, happy life” legitimate? We did accomplish work in this episode. I think we may have figured out a way for married men to sleep with a different woman!

The 4th of July can conjure up admiration and respect for some, and for others distain and angst. It's ok to acknowledge both. Seek reconciliation on a day that for some is of cultural importance, and for others, simply a reason to laugh and share a bourbon with your Band of Brothers.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, or you work for a world-renown organization, listen in as we chat about the essential principles of doing good work.Connect with RM:FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/renovatingmasculinityWebsite: https://www.renovatingmasculinity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/renovatingmasculinityTwitter: https://twitter.com/renomasculinitySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

All of us are imprisoned by thoughts & mindsets from time to time. A simple way to process whether these thoughts are profitable is to ask yourself: "An I am inmate or a convict?"Anthony explains what these terms mean in hopes that it helps us understand where we are and how we can rethink, remove and replace the mindsets that hold us hostage.

There are families in Uvalde, TX that have an empty bed in their homes tonight, never to be filled with bed time stories, tickle fights, or prayers. Is there a right way to respond in situations that are this horrific and evil?We have definitely seen the wrong way to respond over the past several days that include our country's highest officials. The real question is: is there a solution that goes beyond a passing another law? The answer is not simple. But we do believe that, in part, we have failed our boys. We, as a society, have caused so much mental fragility, social isolation and confusion, it's no wonder anxiety, depression and a loss of hope runs rampant amongst our young. We believe that until the collective community of men take responsibility to raise righteous, capable and noble young men, we will continue to watch our boys burn the village down, just to feel its warmth.Connect with RM:FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/renovatingmasculinityWebsite: https://www.renovatingmasculinity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/renovatingmasculinityTwitter: https://twitter.com/renomasculinitySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Leadership is a fluid and elusive skill set, always evolving and adapting in response to those you lead. Your personal leadership style (if you are wise) is always shifting and growing as you enter different seasons of life.Rage, sarcasm and abdication are 3 of many LAZY @#$% leadership styles that we dig into here: styles that will make those you lead frustrated with a lack of personal progress and confused about the larger goal of the organization. But most importantly, your behavior can create resentful teams and leave the entire organization ripe for abuse, intentional waste and a brooding desire to sabotage you. And that's if you have great employees! If you lead, #leadwithpassion.Connect with RM:FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/renovatingmasculinityWebsite: https://www.renovatingmasculinity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/renovatingmasculinityTwitter: https://twitter.com/renomasculinitySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I, Anthony, am emotionally “raw” and minutes out of my first therapy session on this week's episode. Luckily, my friend, Keith Anderson, met me in the hallway and volunteered to join me on for this debrief of my inaugural chat with a clinical phycologist. Therapy is a thing that can make grown men shiver. We hope to change that. Granted, there is something scary about telling your secrets, and that's only the jumping off point when you walk into a session! Our producer, Jonas, rounds out the team as we fix your fear of therapy! Renovating sometimes means taking things “down to the studs."

It's an option that it seems every man contemplates. It leaves us wondering whether we are mentally ill. All of us have heard the voice that tells us, “Come and see what it's like,” and many of us fail to ask ourselves, "Then what?" This week, we are joined by crisis counselor, Dr. Ray Rodriguez, a former Marine who specializes in counseling military personnel, to break down why the allure of suicide is a lie.Suicide Hotline Number - 1-800-273-8255Connect with RM:FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/renovatingmasculinityWebsite: https://www.renovatingmasculinity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/renovatingmasculinityTwitter: https://twitter.com/renomasculinitySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The movie will be titled: From Paddington to PattonWe all meet moments in our lives that ask us to reinvent and adapt. Our response to those moments can change a life, a people, a country and literally the world's history. President Zelensky was better known as the voice of Paddington the Bear (Ukrainian Dub) than the voice of Ukraine's incarnation of Patton before he leapt onto the world stage. He simply set his heart and the heart of his people aflame with the hope of liberty!We learn things about him that only a historian the caliber of Stephen Mansfield would know.

Great marketing or bad advertising? You decide. But there is honestly no hotter button to push right now than this. As parents, we tend to get caught up on this thing called truth. Today, JT reminds us of the wisdom in “don't mess with my kids.” Anthony provokes an ”animated” conversation on the details.

Today, we're replaying an episode that every man and woman needs to hear! Dr. Ben Sweeney joins us in studio, but the focus moves away from sharing his story to one that involves ALL of us. Most of us have a hard time understanding what defines "health." Is it salads for every meal? Running the treadmill for hours on end? Flaunting a 6-pack that shows through your shirt? Dr. Ben is here to bust some myths and give us some practical tips for our roads to health.Connect with RM:FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/renovatingmasculinityWebsite: https://www.renovatingmasculinity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/renovatingmasculinityTwitter: https://twitter.com/renomasculinitySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Will Smith recently took “Give Chris Rock a hand” to a whole different level. But honestly, we don't think any more or any less of Will Smith today than we did before the Oscar's aired.

This week, we continue our discussion and dissection of the fatherless effect. The effects of a fatherless mindset are not just for those who grew up without a father in the home. In fact, all of us have symptoms whether we realize it or not. We would dare say that most of our issues stem from our condition of being spiritually orphaned. As men, we need the weight of a father's affirmation, acceptance, and love to keep us grounded when life attempts to ravage our souls. Listen in as we breakdown how to assess and recognize the characteristics of a fatherless identity and how to stop it at its source and rather than just trying to manage the damage it brings.
