THEY'RE HERE - PAUL MISCHEL - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCASTUnidentified Anomalous Phenomena, often abbreviated as UAPs, are events or occurrences that are not readily explainable by current scientific understanding, and they lack a clear identification or known origin. These phenomena are typically associated with unusual or mysterious observations, and they have been a subject of interest and speculation, particularly in fields such as ufology (the study of unidentified flying objects) and paranormal research. Unexplained Aerial Objects: This category includes sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) or flying anomalies that cannot be easily attributed to known aircraft, weather phenomena, or other conventional explanations. While many UFO sightings have been debunked, some remain unexplained.Mysterious Lights and Phenomena: Reports of strange lights in the sky, glowing orbs, and other luminous anomalies that do not fit typical explanations fall into this category. Some of these lights have been associated with UFO sightings.Crop Circles: Complex and intricate patterns that appear in agricultural fields, often overnight, are considered UAPs. While many crop circles are hoaxes, some remain unexplained in terms of their origin and creation.It's important to note that the term "UAP" is often used in place of "UFO" to emphasize that these phenomena are unidentified but do not necessarily imply that they are extraterrestrial in origin. Many UAPs can be attributed to natural phenomena, misidentifications, hoaxes, or other terrestrial explanations.GOP UAP Hearinghttps://www.youtube.com/live/KQ7Dw-739VY?si=EVtGfwX5vtsQzeE2News Nation's Coverage on David Grusch's Claims - https://www.newsnationnow.com/space/ufo/we-are-not-alone-the-ufo-whistleblower-speaks/https://www.amazon.com.au/Plain-Sight-investigation-impossible-science-ebook/dp/B08VYR4DZ6In Plain Sight by Ross CoulthardtPaul Mischel is a Hypnotherapist, NLP Trainer, Facilitator and Executive Coach with a life long interest in human potential and development.As part of his journey into human potential, Paul has trained in 13 different martial arts systems from Asia and Europe exploring the combative and metaphysical elements of these systems.Paul has been involved in the helping professions for over 30 years and holds numerous qualifications in natural therapies and psychodynamic processes. Paul and has been actively involved in the exploration of the anomalous and metaphysical since he was 16 years old and has witnessed Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) in Australia and overseas.HostJOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_secret_business_smbFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/Available on all PODCAST PLATFORMS YOUTUBE:SECRET MENS BUSINESS - THE HARDER SHAFT@SecretMENSBusinessHarderShaft

BEING A SPIRITUAL MAN - with co host Grant Shepherd - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST with. Joe-y Busuttil.Nowadays, it's not unusual to hear someone described as being a “spiritual person.” But if you ask people what they mean, you'll probably hear different things.. Being a spiritual person in today's world can take on various meanings and practices, as spirituality is a deeply personal and subjective aspect of one's life. It's important to note that spirituality is not confined to any specific religion or belief system.The spiritual man is one whose thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are under the spirit's control. Mental quietude is one of the assumed benefits of authentic spirituality. By contrast, mental distress-racing thoughts, confusion, and “disturbance to the point of agony”-may accompany spiritual errors On this episode we explore some key aspects and principles that can help define what it means to be a spiritual person in today's world.Co HostGrant Shepherd:Meditation and Conscious Sexuality Teacherwww.consciouspathways.net newconsciouspathways@gmail.comHostJOE BUSUTTIL MENS COACH/ COUNSELLOR thesecretmensbusiness@gmail.com www.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.com INSTAGRAM: @the_secret_business_smb FACEBOOK: THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-SEXUAL HEALTH www.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/ Available on all PODCAST PLATFORMS-  iTunes  Spotify iHeartradio Deezer Google Podcasts Amazom Music Podomatic Player FM Audacity Ghana Boomplay  YOUTUBE: SECRET MENS BUSINESS - THE HARDER SHAFT @SecretMENSBusinessHarderShaft

ACCOUNTABILITY 101 - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST - Joe-y Busuttil & Adam CoxThroughout our growth years, we've learned to be accountable to someone else.  As young children, we must do what our parents tell us or punishment might befall us.  As students, we must do what our teachers tell us or our grades might be affected.  As employees, we must do want our bosses tell us or our jobs might be in jeopardy.  Our understanding of being accountable for our actions is driven by our need to comply with the demands of others.  No one shows us how to be accountable to ourselves, right?When a person takes it to be their moral obligation to be responsible for their actions, it is known as accountability. When a person is accountable for his actions, they understand that their actions have a direct effect on greater things and take it up as a responsibility to see that action achieving the greater good. Accountability starts off in the right direction when you commit to the process from the beginning by acknowledging where you are now and being aware of the reality of your situation. When you acknowledge the truth about where you are now and how you truly feel, you then have the ability to execute the steps.ADAM COX:the gay coachFacebook-www.facebook.com/adamgcoxInstagram-www.instagram.com/thecoxcoachAdam Cox is a trainer, mentor and coach for single gay men.-------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/Available on all PODCAST PLATFORMS-iTunesSpotifyDeezerGoogle ManagerAmazom MusicPodomaticYOUTUBE:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE - MENS SEXUAL HEALTHhttps://www.youtube.com/c/TheSHAFTExperienceMENSSexualHealthsuppor

SHAFT DYSFUNCTION - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST - JOEY BUSUTTIL  & LISA TORNEY"MENS sexual dysfunction," which is a general term used to describe various difficulties that men may experience during sexual activity. Some common types of men's sexual dysfunction include: Erectile dysfunction (ED): This is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. Premature ejaculation (PE): This is when a man ejaculates too quickly during sexual activity. Delayed ejaculation (DE): This is when a man has difficulty ejaculating or cannot ejaculate during sexual activity. Low libido: This is a reduced or lack of interest in sexual activity. Peyronie's disease: This is a condition that causes the penis to bend or curve during an erection, which can lead to pain or difficulty during sexual activity. These conditions can have various physical and psychological causes, and treatment options may include medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination of these approaches. It's important to talk to a healthcare provider if you are experiencing any symptoms of men's sexual dysfunction to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.LISA TORNEY:https://lisatorney.com.au/0424 264 288Sexual or relationship concerns can be difficult to talk about and may negatively impact on our emotional well-being.

BROS - CINEMA REVIEW - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCASTHow far we've come. By “we” I don't necessarily mean all of us, but I do mean writer-director Nicholas Stoller (Bad Neighbours), a veteran of the bromance era in Hollywood comedy, when the working assumption was that nothing is funnier than straight dudes acting a little bit gay.Stoller's new film Bros, produced by his frequent collaborator, Judd Apatow, is a different story. This isn't a bromance in the usual sense, nor is it focused on characters struggling with their sexuality or with declaring it to the world.It's simply a romantic comedy in which two gay men fall in love – and while Stoller himself identifies as heterosexual, almost the entire cast is reportedly somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum, including the star, Billy Eichner, who collaborated with Stoller on the script.In what sense Bros qualifies as the first of its kind is open to question, but certainly there haven't been a lot of movies like this backed by a major Hollywood studio (Universal, in this case).----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------HOST:Joe BusuttilMENS LIFE COACH/ COUNSELLORhardershaftpodcast@gmail.comhttps://www.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:SECRET MENS BUSINESS  - the HARDER SHAFThttps://www.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/YOUTUBE:Secret MENS Business - the HARDER Shafthttps://www.youtube.com/c/SecretMENSBusinessSMBTV---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CO HOST - LAWRENCE AKERSLAWRENCE AKERS:RELEASE HYPNOSISwww.releasehypnosis.com.auT: 0403 821 807E: lawrence@releasehypnosis.com.auFACEBOOK-www.facebook.com/releasehypnosisTWITTER-www.twitter.com/Release_hypnosisINSTAGRAM-www.instagram/releasehypnosismelbourne

THE DISTRACTION EPIDEMIC - the HARDER SHAFT podcast with Joey Busuttil &  Grant Shepherd.In this weeks podcast episode we discuss the distractions men are currently facing, and how they can stay focused within their vision of a future they can control.The key to magic is misdirection. Either by directing your attention toward one hand as the other hand secretly does something or by making you believe something big is happening when in reality it has nothing to do with the trick, a good magician is skilled at directing an audience's attention where they want it to go. As an audience is distracted, the magician can do what he wants.In magic, distraction leads to entertainment. It causes us to believe things occurred which are physically impossible. It prevents us from drawing proper conclusions and understanding the true inter workings of how things took place.In life, distraction leads to exhaustion. It causes us to draw faulty conclusions. It tempts us to believe that certain behaviours will lead to outcomes which they certainly won't create. It prevents us from rightly understanding cause and effect, frustrating us as we continually are thwarted from getting what we desire.Distractions in our lives are many.Money. It gives the appearance of bringing security, meaning, and peace, but it never does.Power. We believe that attaining power will ensure security, but some of the most insecure people in life possess power.Fame. It may be the currency of our day. Many kids would take fame over money. We believe if we are famous, life will be easy.Technology. It continually screams for our attention and rewards us like a drug when we give it what it wants.While there are many distractions in the modern world, there is one which negatively impacts us more than any other. The greatest distraction of our lives is what is going on in the lives of other people. Nothing distorts our thinking, confuses our direction, and leads us down destructive paths like our fixation on others.When we focus on the actions, attitudes, and outcomes of others we create false conclusions, waste valuable time, and miss the opportunity to love/serve them. We can't love those we judge. We can't serve others when we are jealous of them.It's vital that we recognise the process which comes to us so naturally–fixating on others–is in fact toxic. Nothing good will come from comparing our lives to the lives of those around us. When we avoid this distraction, we are far more likely to make wise choices, better understand cause and effect, and relate with others in a healthy manner.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------HOST:Joe BusuttilMENS LIFE COACH/ COUNSELLORhardershaftpodcast@gmail.comhttps://www.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:SECRET MENS BUSINESS  - the HARDER SHAFThttps://www.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/YOUTUBE:Secret MENS Business - the HARDER Shafthttps://www.youtube.com/c/SecretMENSBusinessSMBTV---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Grant Shepherd:Meditation and Conscious Sexuality Teacherwww.consciouspathways.net newconsciouspathways@gmail.comAuckland, New Zealand

the  ANDREW TATE effect - ep 26 - the HARDER SHAFT podcast with Joey Busuttil & Lawrence Akers.In this weeks podcast we discuss the impact Andrew Tate has had on men's mental health. Are MEN changed forever?Emory Andrew Tate III (born December 1, 1986) is a British-American social media personality, businessman, and former professional kickboxer.Tate began practicing kickboxing in 2005 and gained his first championship in 2009. He attracted wider attention in 2016, when he appeared on the British reality show Big Brother and was removed after his comments on social media attracted controversy. He began offering paid courses and memberships through his website and rose to fame as an internet celebrity, promoting an "ultra-masculine, ultra-luxurious lifestyle". A self-described misogynist,Tate's controversial commentary has resulted in his suspension from several social media platforms.On December 29, 2022, Tate and his brother, Tristan, were arrested in Romania along with two women; all four are suspected of human trafficking and forming an organized crime group. Romanian police allege that the group coerced victims into creating paid pornography for social media.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------HOST:Joe BusuttilMENS LIFE COACH/ COUNSELLORhardershaftpodcast@gmail.comhttps://www.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:SECRET MENS BUSINESS  - the HARDER SHAFThttps://www.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/YOUTUBE:Secret MENS Business - the HARDER Shafthttps://www.youtube.com/c/SecretMENSBusinessSMBTV---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CO HOST - LAWRENCE AKERSLAWRENCE AKERS:RELEASE HYPNOSISwww.releasehypnosis.com.auT: 0403 821 807E: lawrence@releasehypnosis.com.auFACEBOOK-www.facebook.com/releasehypnosisTWITTER-www.twitter.com/Release_hypnosisINSTAGRAM-www.instagram/releasehypnosismelbourne

25 - SEXUAL POSITIONS - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST  - JOEY BUSUTTIL. & LAWRENCE AKERSWhen one ventures into sexual activity, it can be daunting to hear about things like the Kama Sutra and tantric sex. In reality, the basic sexual positions have a lot of advantages — otherwise, so many people wouldn't rely on them so much. While there's no “right way” to have sex, a little information can help you understand the pros and cons of the most common sexual positions.Most of us have a particular sex position that we return to over and over again. But have you ever thought about why? Turns out there's more to it than just plain laziness, familiarity or routine.Just like life, sex should never be boring. That's why it's a great idea to change things up every now and then with some different positions. While missionary is a traditional favourite for a reason, sometimes it just doesn't hit the spot for you and your partner – literally.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------HOST:Joe BusuttilMENS LIFE COACH/ COUNSELLORhardershaftpodcast@gmail.comhttps://www.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:SECRET MENS BUSINESS  - the HARDER SHAFThttps://www.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/YOUTUBE:Secret MENS Business - the HARDER Shafthttps://www.youtube.com/c/SecretMENSBusinessSMBTV---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CO HOST - LAWRENCE AKERSLAWRENCE AKERS:RELEASE HYPNOSISwww.releasehypnosis.com.auT: 0403 821 807E: lawrence@releasehypnosis.com.auFACEBOOK-www.facebook.com/releasehypnosisTWITTER-www.twitter.com/Release_hypnosisINSTAGRAM-www.instagram/releasehypnosismelbourne

DOING TIME  -  ep 24 - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST  - JOEY BUSUTTIL. & MARK FINDLAYImprisonment can hugely affect the thinking and behavior of a person and cause severe levels of depression. However, the psychological impact on each prisoner varies with the time, situation, and place. For some, the prison experience can be a frightening and depressing one, which takes many years to overcome.Prisons are inherently traumatic places that dehumanize people in the name of security and control. Incarcerated people navigate constant surveillance, social isolation, limited personal care services, ongoing harassment, and threats of violence and abuse.Depression was the most prevalent mental health condition reported by inmates, followed by mania, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder.Incarcerated people have virtually no control over their day-to-day lives, including when they wake up, what they eat, what their jobs are, and when they have access to recreation. This can lead to feelings of dependence and helplessness.Prison sexuality (or prison sex or penitentiary sex) consists of sexual relationships between prisoners or between a prisoner and a prison employee or other persons to whom prisoners have access. Since prisons are usually separated by sex, most sexual activity is with a same-sex partner. Two well known exceptions to this include sex with spouses/partners during conjugal visits and sex with a prison employee of the opposite sex.Prison sexuality is an issue that has been commonly misunderstood and misrepresented due not only to the taboo nature of the subject, but also because of a lack of research. The most common kind of sexual activity in prisons is consensual sex.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------HOST:Joe BusuttilMENS LIFE COACH/ COUNSELLORhardershaftpodcast@gmail.comhttps://www.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:SECRET MENS BUSINESS  - the HARDER SHAFThttps://www.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/YOUTUBE:Secret MENS Business - the HARDER Shafthttps://www.youtube.com/c/SecretMENSBusinessSMBTV

23 - OVERCOMING SEXUAL JUDGEMENT - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST - JOEY BUSUTTIL. & LISA TORNEYMany people who have not been privileged enough to receive unconditional love have an unconscious idea that there is only so much to go around. So much attractiveness, so much wealth, so much youth, so much beauty, so much achievement, and, ultimately, so much love. They have a belief in finiteness. When someone else has something, it seems like something that they are deprived of. The quantities are limited and there is no such thing as baking a bigger pie.The pull is to see people in a rank-order, hierarchical fashion. When two people encounter one another, one is better and one is worse. You might use any metric—wealth, status, social ability—but the eating disorder will compel you to go for size, weight, and choices around food and exercise. If you aren't the better one, watch out! You might be worse.LISA TORNEY:https://lisatorney.com.au/0424 264 288Sexual or relationship concerns can be difficult to talk about and may negatively impact on our emotional well-being.

22  - MENS ISSUES WITH INTIMACY - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST with Joe-y Busuttil & Greg RielyMen may also experience difficulties achieving intimacy because of a lack of 'emotional vocabulary'. Men often feel less able to express the way they are feeling than women, and may feel uncomfortable with discussions about emotions. However, it is important to remember it is a skill, and as such can be learned.It is common that when someone is experiencing a disturbance in their emotional and mental health, they may not demonstrate as much affection as they would at other times. Some mental health examples include depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, or even obsessive compulsive disorder.Many factors can contribute to men's decreased interest in sex. In my own research, the three most commonly endorsed issues that men described as decreasing their desire were sexual rejection, lack of emotional connection with their partners, and physical ailments or health issues.Men who express their emotions are often seen as weak. Because of that, many men neglect to show their emotions because they're afraid of the repercussions. However, suppressing emotions and feelings can be incredibly detrimental to a man's mental health.GREG RILEY:https://www.gregriley.com.au/Facebook [Greg Rileyhttps://www.facebook.com › ... › Mental Health ServiceLinkedInhttps://au.linkedin.com › greg-riley-518b2417Greg Rileyhttps://www.instagram.com › gregriley5dimensions-------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/the HARDER SHAFT podcast:https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/thesecretmensbusinessAvailable on all PODCAST PLATFORMS-iTunesSpotifyDeezerGoogle ManagerAmazom MusicPodomaticYOUTUBE:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE - MENS SEXUAL HEALTHhttps://www.youtube.com/c/TheSHAFTExperienceMENSSexualHealthsuppor

21 -WHEN THINGS DON'T GO TO PLAN  - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST with Joe-y Busuttil & Adam Cox.Give yourself some guidance when things don't go as planned. Avoid extreme assumptions, allow yourself a moment to regroup, accept that perfection is not the goal, remind yourself that your job is to problem-solve and don't be afraid to seek help. What helps you to remain calm when the unexpected happens?Some things we don't have the ability to plan with precise enough certainty to make the plan of any actual value. Truth be told, even the greatest, most thought-out plans have a chance of failing or becoming useless due to a change in circumstances. But there's no need to worry.It's natural to get upset when things don't go as planned, because not knowing what to expect and not feeling in control can be stressful. However, it can be helpful to keep an open mind, focus on finding solutions, and work on being more flexible.ADAM COX:the gay coachFacebook-www.facebook.com/adamgcoxInstagram-www.instagram.com/thecoxcoachAdam Cox is a trainer, mentor and coach for single gay men.He helps single gay men BECOME the dream man that they are seeking, helping them confidently own their worth, love the man in the mirror, speak -------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/the HARDER SHAFT podcast:https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/thesecretmensbusinessAvailable on all PODCAST PLATFORMS-iTunesSpotifyDeezerGoogle ManagerAmazom MusicPodomaticYOUTUBE:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE - MENS SEXUAL HEALTHhttps://www.youtube.com/c/TheSHAFTExperienceMENSSexualHealthsuppor

20 - SEXUAL JUDGEMENT & SHAMING  - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST with Joe-y Busuttil & Lisa TorneyWe have collectively grown highly attuned to the problems associated with a lack of shame around sex: with a decadent culture in which it seems that everything goes, where the atmosphere is often overly explicit and where some people get badly hurt by the unwanted and aggressive attentions of others.It could seem – therefore – a little odd, even indulgent, to bring up the problem of sexual shame, that is, to discuss the intense mental suffering generated by embarrassment about our desires and bodies, by a feeling of not being physically acceptable and by a self-disgust and terror at the idea of our sexual thoughts being found out and judged. These can seem like issues that no one could sincerely have worried about since the waning of the age of top hats or at least the revolutions of the 1960s. The dangers around sex appear to lie squarely at the other, shame-less end of the spectrum.-------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/the HARDER SHAFT podcast:https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/thesecretmensbusinessAvailable on all PODCAST PLATFORMS-iTunesSpotifyDeezerGoogle ManagerAmazom MusicPodomaticYOUTUBE:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE - MENS SEXUAL HEALTHhttps://www.youtube.com/c/TheSHAFTExperienceMENSSexualHealthsuppor

HISTORICAL EVENTS THAT IMPACTED MANKIND - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST with Joe-y Busuttil What is considered a historical event?Historical refers to an authentic event that once occurred at some point in history, and is fact and/or evidence-based. For instance, the Diary of Anne Frank is a historical text (while World War II is both a historical and historic event).History gives us the opportunity to learn from others' past mistakes. It helps us understand the many reasons why people may behave the way they do. As a result, it helps us become more impartial as decision-makers..Historical events must be written or recorded. Historical events entails past happenings. Historical events mainly involve man.What are 5 characteristics of history? History is not a list of facts, facts must be interpreted by people. ... History is not about the past- it is about the relationship between the past and the present. ... History is not only what happened, but what did not happen. ... History is not exclusive, but inclusive. ... We must study not only events, but conditions. These are ten events from the twentieth and twenty-first century that changed the world in a very significant way. It includes the sparks which started major wars and revolutions – affecting the lives of millions of people across the globe.Major events that changed the world Start of World War I – June 1914. Russian Revolution – October 1917 Start of World War II – September 1939 Pearl Harbour – and entry of the US into WWII – Dec. 1941 Atomic Bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Aug 1945 Indian Independence – Aug 1947 Establishment of Maoist China, 1949 The assassination of John F Kennedy, 1963 Fall of the Berlin Wall 1989. 9/11 September attacks Covid-19 Pandemic, March 2020 -------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/the HARDER SHAFT podcast:https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/thesecretmensbusinessAvailable on all PODCAST PLATFORMS-iTunesSpotifyDeezerGoogle ManagerAmazom MusicPodomaticYOUTUBE:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE - MENS SEXUAL HEALTH https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSHAFTExperienceMENSSexualHealthsuppor

WOMAN SHARE THEIR OPINION ON MEN  - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST with Joe-y Busuttil In today's episode we chat to women and ask  them what they think of men, Why is gender equality important?What do Women Actually Want from a partner? How do men Muck Up First Impressions? How do you feel Being Called A ‘Good Girl', 'Darling', 'Sweetie', 'Babe', etc.? Why? What are the Double Standards woman face in their sex lives? What do you think are some of men's biggest insecurities?Why do you think men care so much about physical imperfections in a woman (wrinkles, cellulite, love handles, and all that)?Do you have any bad situations you have experienced with a man ? Advice to men ?"At a bookstore one day, I couldn't buy an erotic novel because there was a man at the counter.'I SEE MAN AS A STAR, a direction, an orientation, the point of origin, and the place where all time ends.I look upon Man as a butterfly surveying a flowerbed, tasting, testing, or as a hawk crouched in the high weeds on a roadbank glaring at automobiles speeding by. I see Man as a hummingbird, a moment's radiance which hovers unscheduled, vanishing in half a heartbeat.I reach for Man's hand the same way I struggled for my father's hand, when we used to survey laid-by fields, grown over with the brambles of blackberry groves, harboring dens of copperheads.I look up to Man, as I did to my father, the first Man I dared to trust and to love. Men are not like him.I care for Man, as I now care for my mother, wintering, crippled by time, tested by storm.I see Man as all the light I lack. Life is not as bright nor fruitful without him. I see Man, seeing, strip away all his trappings of stage dressings, dismiss his barnstormings and his posturings, referee his war games.I see Man as the child I suckle, a kitten with eyes half-opened, a fever that seizes me when midnight comes.I see in him the best and the worst qualities of myself. In the wake of many loves, many men and two children, I see Man as an omen of tomorrow's coming terror, a lethal disease, a disguised born enemy, a danger to ward off like a rattlesnake or a pack of mad dogs.Like Lord Byron, the second man I dared to love, I can neither live with you nor without you.And so I keep on, loving you, Man, even when faith and trust are rust. I go on living, looking, learning you, learning your loves, your fears, your despairs, your wild-bird heart.I see Man as a poem to be sung, an afghan to be crocheted, an awry picture to be straightened, a field to be sown. I see Man as a secret art to be mastered, made, because I see in him all the tapestries we can weave together.I see Man as my brother, lover, friend, parent, priest, son, sire because my Mother, the Great Mother, made him so. I do not always agree with Her, but She DOES know best.Lastly, I see Man as the persimmon tree in the northern field sees all the young birds in spring, all the flocks of wild geese migrating south overhead, leaving me, periodically, seasonally, forever abandoning me to winter winds and snowdrifts over the running cedars, always coming back. So, apropos of Count Dracula, I see Man, and say, as the good Count said in greeting Jonathan Harker, “Welcome the traveller, speed the parting guest.”Some day, with some Man, I am going to share Emerson: “Nothing that is good and fair grows alone.”I see Man as a co-prisoner in an alien wasteland, because we are both more than we know and less than we could ever imagine. I see Man and would tell him what I have written, seen, been, dreamed, lived, died, reworked, prayed; but we do not speak the same language, no longer share the heart's tongue.So I see Man. And I go talk to the Moon.Mariposa (Virginia Love Long)-------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/the HARDER SHAFT podcast:https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/thesecretmensbusinessAvailable on all PODCAST PLATFORMS-iTunesSpotifyDeezerGoogle ManagerAmazom MusicPodomaticYOUTUBE:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE - MENS SEXUAL HEALTH https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSHAFTExperienceMENSSexualHealthsuppor

a.i & SEX - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST with Joe-y Busuttil A human brain is capable of considering the immediate situation, understanding the emotions involved, and then making a decision about how to react. We possess this quality of divergent thinking, which can be enhanced with meditation. A human mind is very powerful, it can look at a problem and imagine various permutations and combinations, before zeroing down on the best possible resolution.Machines are incapable of this, because they operate on logic-based programming which only executes tasks based on commands preprogrammed by humans. They consider all the logical consequences and probabilities. What they fail to account for, is the unpredictability of human emotion.But that's no reason to quit being ambitious about AI possibilities. On the contrary, we should be thinking of new ways in which AI can make our lives better and easier.If the internet was built for sex, it's logical to assume that chatbots were created to be sex chatbots as well. Chatbots are artificial intelligence-powered interfaces that simulate human-to-human communication.The majority of individuals have used a chatbot on the internet, usually in the form of virtual customer care personnel. Sex chatbots, on the other hand, are intended for flirty or sexual conversation. Users can use a  sex chatbot to make requests, fantasize, and practice nasty conversation.In this episode we interview two a.i. chatbots and ask them QUESTIONS about sex. Do they know more than us. Henry and Andrea really take on this task with excitement.-------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experie nceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/the HARDER SHAFT podcast:https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/thesecretmensbusinessAvailable on all PODCAST PLATFORMS-iTunesSpotifyDeezerGoogle ManagerAmazom MusicPodomaticYOUTUBE:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE - MENS SEXUAL HEALTH https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSHAFTExperienceMENSSexualHealthsuppor

COCK SIZE - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST with Joe-y Busuttil & Lawrence AkersTo the average man, his penis is his most important possession. From the time he is born he is fascinated by it and it becomes his best friend. A penis is tied to a man's self-esteem and is a definition of his manhood.Many men, however, question the size of their penis, especially the length. Although they may experience anxiety about the size and appearance of their penises at some time in their life, for most of them these feelings will pass, but for others it can be persistent and disabling.This anxiety can sometimes lead to avoidance of sexual relationships or fear of attending the gym or sports events where other men might see them naked and make them feel ashamed.The porn industry has contributed to this obsession by featuring only above-average sized men who are filmed from flattering angles. Many boys who are receiving most of their sex education these days by looking at porn, are getting the wrong message.Anxiety can lead some men to turn to companies that claim they have treatments and remedies to lengthen the size of the penis. There are pills that contain herbs from around the world, hormone therapies with testosterone or steroids, magnetic or electrical devices to stimulate penis growth, penile suction devices and penis stretchers.No quality evidence has been yet published to show if any of these treatments actually produce a sustained increase in penis size.LAWRENCE AKERS:RELEASE HYPNOSISwww.releasehypnosis.com.auT: 0403 821 807E: lawrence@releasehypnosis.com.auFACEBOOK-www.facebook.com/releasehypnosisTWITTER-www.twitter.com/Release_hypnosisINSTAGRAM-www.instagram/releasehypnosismelbourne-------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experie nceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/the HARDER SHAFT podcast:https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/thesecretmensbusinessAvailable on all PODCAST PLATFORMS-iTunesSpotifyDeezerGoogle ManagerAmazom MusicPodomaticYOUTUBE:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE - MENS SEXUAL HEALTH https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSHAFTExperienceMENSSexualHealthsuppor

WHY MEN CHEAT - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST with Joe-y Busuttil & Adam CoxMen often underestimate the emotional ramifications of their actions. Women often underestimate the shallowness of men.Men cheat more than women. While this may come as cold comfort to women scorned, it is important to note that, psychologically speaking, most men don't engage in cheating with the same intention as women. Male cheaters, specifically repeat cheaters, tend to be opportunistic and capable of emotional compartmentalization. So, why do married men cheat?Healthy men who occasionally cheat on their partners are not pathological. While chronic cheaters pursue infidelity because of deep-rooted attachment disorders and sex addictions, healthier men cheat out of immaturity. Most men fall somewhere in the middle between being absolutely faithful and having cheated once, realizing it was immature and learning from it,Most men don't need to cheat to understand the hurt it may cause to their partner — that can be accomplished through  comuncation about trust, intimacy, and opportunities for temptation as they arise.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ADAM COX:(the gay coach)Facebook-www.facebook.com/adamgcoxInstagram-www.instagram.com/thecoxcoachAdam Cox is a trainer, mentor and coach for single gay men.With over 9,000 hours under his belt and 19 years experience in the training and coaching space, Adam successfully leads men through profound personal transformation.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experie nceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/the HARDER SHAFT podcast:https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/thesecretmensbusinessAvailable on all PODCAST PLATFORMS-iTunesSpotifyDeezerGoogle ManagerAmazom MusicPodomaticYOUTUBE:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE - MENS SEXUAL HEALTH https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSHAFTExperienceMENSSexualHealthsuppor

THE DARK SIDE OF SEX - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST with Joe-y Busuttil.On this episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss THE DARK SIDE OF SEX with co host Grant Shepherd.  Sexual energy is a great magnifier. It will expand whatever it is mixed with.This means that when your sexual energy becomes strong and connected to the heart or the universe, that force of primal energy can work as profound rocket fuel for healing and awakening, both personally and collectively.What if the power is used consciously or unconsciously to manipulate rather than connect to a higher power?Or, let's put it this way: what if we develop our sexual power without doing the work of bringing our unconscious patterns to awareness?The danger in doing it this way is that the boost of power will magnify our blind spots, distortions, and manipulatio  —the power games, the separation, the ego bullsh*t. We might begin to use our sexual energy to get validation from outside of ourselves and play with our increased power to do so.It might seem pretty obvious to some that we have to balance our expansion of power with our deep work on the parts of ourselves lurking in the shadows.Grant Shepherd:Meditation and Conscious Sexuality Teacherwww.consciouspathways.netnewconsciouspathways@gmail.com--------------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_hardershaft_podcastFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/the HARDER SHAFT podcast:https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/thesecretmensbusinessAvailable on all PODCAST PLATFORMS-iTunesSpotifyDeezerGoogle ManagerAmazom MusicPodomatic

On the first  episode of the SECOND SEASON of  the HARDER SHAFT podcast we  discuss SEX ADDICTION. Our guest has asked to remain Anonymous, Compulsive sexual behavior is a condition in which an individual cannot manage their sexual behavior. Persistent sexual thoughts interfere with their ability to work, maintain relationships, and complete their daily activities.People with compulsive sexual behavior may fixate on different sexual practices. Some people might experience an overwhelming urge to masturbate, while others may feel a compulsion to engage in sexual intercourse with several different partners a day.This variation makes the condition harder to define.Activities that can sometimes have a link with compulsive sexual behavior include: compulsive masturbation multiple affairs, sexual partners, and one night stands persistent use of pornography practicing unsafe sex cybersex meeting with sex workers Behaviors and attitudes may include: an inability to contain sexual urges detachment, meaning that the sexual activity does not emotionally satisfy the individual strong feelings of attraction to others alongside continually being in love and starting new romances, often leading to a string of relationships feelings of guilt and shame giving up social, work-related, or recreational activities to pursue sexual stimulation If you are curious if you have a sexual addiction, ask yourself the following questions. Each of these may indicate that your problem may be more significant than you realize it is.  Are you trying to hide your behaviors?  Do you experience mood swings in regards to sex? Has your partner mentioned you seem to be more controlling regarding intimacy? Do you have obsessive thoughts about pornography or sexual activity?  Have you noticed you feel defensive when questioned about your sexual behaviors?  Do you need to view pornography in order to have a sexual response when you're intimate with your partner?  Do you expect your sexual experience to match those you view? If so, do you feel a lack of desire to be physically intimate?  Have you been isolating from or avoiding your loved ones? Do you remain at the office, etc. so you can view porn or engage in other sexual behaviors without interruption?  If you answered yes, you might have an addiction. As a result, it may be the perfect time to reach out for professional help.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-MENS SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/

On the Thirtenth  episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss CONSENT with co host Lisa Torney.Sexual consent is when you and your sexual partner both agree to have sex. It is important to ask for consent before engaging in sexual activity.In a healthy sexual encounter, both parties should feel comfortable communicating their needs without feeling fearful or coerced. If #MeToo has taught us anything, it is that we need to start having open and clear conversations around consent.Giving consent is when you clearly agree to take part in any sexual activity. If someone seems unsure, stays silent, doesn't respond, or says ‘maybe' this isn't consent. Having sex without consent is wrong and illegal. You always have the right to say no to any form of sexual activity. And you can agree to do something then change your mind – everyone has the right to do this, even if you are in a long-term relationship or married. Giving and getting consent may feel awkward. But being able to share what you feel comfortable with will make the experience of sex more enjoyable. Many girls grow up being told that saying “no” to men is wrong. This can make it really difficult to say no to sexual activities, even if you want to.  But remember, everyone has the right to say no to any form of sexual activity. It doesn't matter who the other person is, whether it's your first time with them, you're married or in a long-term relationship, or what you've done with them or others before. Giving consent for one type of sexual activity doesn't mean you're giving consent to go further. Agreeing to kiss someone doesn't mean you've said yes to them taking your clothes off, for example. They may say it in other ways, like “not right now”, “I'm not sure”, or they might stay silent. Their body language might also be a signal – they may turn away, curl up, or not respond. Sometimes our bodies will be turned on but we don't want to be touched. But even if a penis is erect or the vagina is wet – it's not an automatic invitation. That's why it's always important to check. They may say it in other ways, like “not right now”, “I'm not sure”, or they might stay silent.

On the Twelfth  episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss MALE BODY IMAGE with co host Lawrence Akers.Your body image is how you think and feel about your body. Body image involves your thoughts, perceptions, imagination and emotions. It may have little to do with your actual appearance. Although body image issues have traditionally been thought of as a women's health concern, they can affect people of all ages and genders.Poor body image is often linked to dieting, over-exercising, or eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder, and to other mental health issues such as low self-esteem, depression or anxiety. Poor body image or body dissatisfaction often results from comparing your body with what the media tells you is the ideal male body size and shape - namely, lean and muscular. It is not uncommon for men with body dissatisfaction to be focussed on weight loss and muscle building, which can lead to over-exercising and the use of image enhancing drugs.Studies suggest that around 11 per cent of Australian men are on a weight loss diet at any given time, and it is thought that around one third of people with an eating disorder are male (although it is likely that this is under-reported).It is thought that certain male groups, such as young men, gay men, athletes, body builders, models and dancers, among others, may be particularly vulnerable to poor body image or feeling insecure about their bodies. This is because they are more likely to be in situations where they may be judged (or believe they will be judged) according to their weight and appearance.Lawrence Akers:My goal is to help people adjust in this ever-changing world that we live in so that they can experience a rich, meaningful existence.I've experienced stress and anxiety first hand and I know how it can impact our lives in so many ways.I help people to give them strategies and tools to help them deal with the feelings, thoughts, and behaviours that hold them back.To see people experience that shift in their thinking and to step forward into the best version of themselves that they can be is something that gives my work so much meaning.Release Hypnosis is also one of the few clinical hypnotherapy practices specialising in the unique needs of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and intersex communities.I've worked with the LGBTQIA+ community over many years, originally as a facilitator for the Victorian AIDS Council ‘Young & Gay' program and their ‘Boyant' program. My knowledge of LGBTQIA+ issues comes from years of working with the community as well as my own first hand personal experiences.I offer one-on-one counselling and hypnotherapy solutions as well as my regular podcast OUTthink which looks at the mental health of the LGBTQIA+ community through special guests and discussion.LAWRENCE AKERS:RELEASE HYNOSISwww.releasehypnosis.com.auT: 0403 821 807E: lawrence@releasehypnosis.com.auFACEBOOK-www.facebook.com/releasehypnosisTWITTER-www.twitter.com/Release_hypnosisINSTAGRAM-www.instagram/releasehypnosismelbourne----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-MENS SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/

On the ELEVENTH episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss CONFUSHION & UNCERTAINTY with co host ADAM COX.William Blake, the English poet, painter and printmaker, is quoted as saying that “Without contraries, there is no progression.” Author David Robson of The Intelligence Trap: Why Smart People Make Dumb Mistakes tells us that, “The latest neuroscience…shows that we learn best when we are confused.” Blake is saying that we need to engage with contraries (feelings, ideas, etc.) in order to emerge from them to make progress. Robson explains how we learn best when things are a bit tough, through “desirable difficulties” There are times in your life when you don't want to pressure yourself to find answers, but want to give yourself time to explore your jumble of thoughts and feelings to see what emerges: choosing a college or career, picking a life partner, finding purpose to engage you in retirement, moving to a new geographical area, deciding whether to have children, choosing to end a marriage, or figuring out a new way of living after the death of a spouse. Bulletin: You are supposed to feel uncertain during these times.Consider how you learned to feel uncomfortable with confusion and not knowing. If your parents always needed to be right and focused on perfection, they modeled unhealthy behavior. If they insisted that you not waffle and hedge, but know your mind and proceed full steam ahead, they wrongly made it seem that mixed feelings and doubts were negative and unhelpful feelings—because they weren't comfortable with these states and, therefore, couldn't teach you how to be. Or if you were overwhelmed with mixed feelings for much of your childhood, far beyond what your young brain could handle, these same feelings now bring back the anxiety of your youth.Start by valuing mixed feelings and being curious rather than judgmental about them. Be interested in them rather than in obtaining a final answer. Then see what happens.ADAM COX:the gay coachFacebook-www.facebook.com/adamgcoxInstagram-www.instagram.com/thecoxcoach----------------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comHARDER SHAFT  WEBSITE-https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.net/podcast.html#INSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-MENS SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness0

On the TENTH episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss KNOWING YOUR BODY with co host GRANT SHEPHERD.Male body shame isn't talked about often enough. And there's a perfectly good reason for that, which is that men don't like to talk about their emotions. Most dudes would rather be bitten by piranhas than spontaneously monologue about their tender feelings. Men are socialized not to show weakness, as we all know. This isn't entirely a bad thing — there's a lot to be said for stoicism. But being in control of your feelings doesn't mean you don't have them. And it's good to acknowledge some of the painful, weird parts of being a dude, like the fact that basically everyone feels like their body is insufficient.Most people are familiar with the five senses (touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste), but not everyone knows that we have an additional sense called interoception. This is the sense of our body's internal state. It helps us feel and interpret internal signals that regulate vital functions in our body, like hunger, thirst, body temperature and heart rate.Although we don't take much notice of it, it's an extremely important sense as it ensures that every system in the body is working optimally. It does this by alerting us to when our body may be out of balance – such as making us reach for a drink when we feel thirsty or telling us to take our jumper off when we're feeling too hot.Interoception is also important for our mental health. This is because it contributes to many psychological processes - including decision making, social ability and emotional wellbeing. Disrupted interoception is even reported in many mental health conditions – including depression, anxiety and eating disorders. It may also explain why many mental health conditions share similar symptoms – such as disturbed sleep or fatigue.Grant Shepherd:Meditation and Conscious Sexuality Teacherwww.consciouspathways.netnewconsciouspathways@gmail.com----------------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comHARDER SHAFT  WEBSITE-https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.net/podcast.html#INSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-MENS SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness0

In the NINTH episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss KINK & FETISH with co host Dic Savvy.There are many types of "kinks,"  When it comes to sexual activity, this is normally something that is deemed outside of mainstream. A kink usually adds extra erotic energy to a sexual interaction (think: BDSM, role play or polyamory). However, it's important to remember that kink is a matter of taste. While your mother-in-law may find sex toys sexy, your best friend thinks they're just plain boring. Something that must be present in order for the individual who has it to feel sexually aroused or satisfied by it is known as a "fetish." Having intercourse in public, for example, is one example of this (like feet). In this case, the key point to keep in mind is that a fetish is something that a person cannot get aroused by without. While thinking about a fetish may be sufficient for some, others may require real interaction with the object or behaviour in question. What, exactly, is the distinction between kink and fetish? The terms "kink" and "fetish" are often used interchangeably, which is why we can see the muddle. Doctor Torrisi describes the distinction as one between what a person enjoys doing and what a person is forced to do in order to have sexual pleasure. Here's an example: if you hear your neighbours fighting while you're in bed and it gets you excited, that's kinky. There are certain people, though, who have a penchant for listening or watching other people engage in sex in order to become excited. What are the safest ways to experiment with kinks and fetishes? When it comes to quirks and fetishes, the importance of permission and safety preparedness. You'll need to acquire a trustworthy accomplice and conduct thorough study in order to succeed (like learning how to properly tie a knot, for example). Keep in mind the acronym RACK, which stands for "risk-aware consensual kink," not a fetish. In the kink world, it's a term used to ensure that all parties feel safe and comfortable. There are many excellent materials available from those in the field of kink and fetishism. To find items, educators, research, and  joining a group to learn about safe ways to explore kink and fetishism is very crucial.DIC SAVVY- THE NAKED BARBERhttps://thenakedbarber.com/THE NAKED BARBER - THE FEEDhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiGkt0X-dpITWITTER:The Naked Barber (@TheNakedBarber) YOUTUBE:The Naked Barber INSTAGRAM:The Naked Barber (@thenakedbarber__official) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comHARDER SHAFT  WEBSITE-https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.net/podcast.html#INSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-MENS SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness0

In the EIGHTH episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss MASK MEN WEAR with co host Markus Van Driel.Masculinity refers to the social roles, behaviors, and meanings prescribed for men in any given society at any one time. As such, it emphasizes gender, not biological sex, and the diversity of identities among different groups of men.Masculinity is a form of gender, variously defined as an identity, a social role, and a form of power and is typically, though not exclusively, associated with men.identified four different types of masculinity: hegemonic, subordinate, complacent and marginal. In the first case, hegemonic masculinity is the form embodying male domination and exercising power and authority over women (and other men), with all the consequences of oppression, violence and privileges.Traits like integrity, authenticity, and how he cares for himself and those around him are integral to how a man perceives his own masculinity today — versus physical strength, power, and affluence that prior generations may have prioritized.”The crisis of masculinity relates to the shift in our societal structure that has changed what it means to be masculine. Due to a shift in gender norms and power structures, women now have more independence and professional status and no longer need to fulfill traditional roles.Because every man must be invulnerable and tough, emotions are carefully managed and suppressed. There can be no crying, no pain, no feeling. So he puts up a wall between him and the world, to protect himself, to pretend he doesn't feel the things he does. While wearing a Stoic Mask, he views weakness is an invitation to scrutiny and judgment and rejection. One of the clearest ways a man can distinguish himself is on the field or on the court. He is like a modern-day gladiator whose weapon isn't death, but domination. Sports are how men prove themselves, and a good athlete is a good man—period. He spends hours in the gym to get in shape.There is no clearer sign of a man's worth than the amount of money in his bank account. Not only do men work incredibly hard—and sometimes do questionable things—to make as much money as possible, it's all for naught if other people don't know how much money he has.A man does not feel fear. A man takes risks. Whether that's betting his life savings on a company or cliff diving or smoking and drinking in incredible quantities, a man doesn't have time to think about consequences, he's too busy doing.A man is not only physically dominant but intellectually dominant too. If you don't understand why that is, a man is happy to explain it to you—along with all the other subjects he's an expert in.At the most basic level, men believe that there are only two types of men: alphas and betas, winners and losers. No man can stand to be the latter—so a man must dominate, one up, and win everything.

In the SEVENTH episoide of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss MARRIED LIFE with co host Greg Riley. .For men, life after marriage can be rather unsettling, as they are required to change substantially in their behaviour and commitment. With marriage men begin to see themselves as fathers, providers and protectors, an absolute transition from their previous carefree portrayal of self.Men change after marriage because of different reasons. Most of the men become less caring and less romantic after marriage. ... After marriage, a man has to concentrate on several things from getting a house to making his wife and children happy. Their sense of responsibilities increases.One of the most important legal changes that occurs when you get married is the acquisition of “marital property”. Whether it is a house, boat, car, television, or just a coffee mug, any asset that is acquired by either spouse during the marriage may treated as a marital property in a divorce.Married men are more likely to receive regular checkups and medical care, maintain healthy diets, exercise, and enjoy higher standards of living. In addition, married men benefit from lower levels of stress and fewer stress-related diseases. They also receive better care during times of illness.GREG RILEY:https://www.gregriley.com.au/Facebook [Greg Riley https://www.facebook.com › ... › Mental Health ServiceLinkedInhttps://au.linkedin.com › greg-riley-518b2417Greg Rileyhttps://www.instagram.com › gregriley5dimensions----------------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comHARDER SHAFT  WEBSITE-https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.net/podcast.html#INSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-MENS SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness0

In the SIXTH episoide of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss MENS SEXUAL DIFFICULTIES with co host Lisa Torney.What exactly are male sexual difficulties? Sexual dysfunction is prevalent, affecting more than half of all couples at some point. Sexual dysfunction rarely poses a threat to physical health, but it can have a significant psychological impact, causing sadness, anxiety, and incapacitating feelings of inadequacy. Sexual issues in men, particularly erectile dysfunction, may indicate an increased risk of vascular disease; thus, discuss them with your doctor. The most common types of male sexual dysfunction include: Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, is the inability to achieve or maintain an adequate erection for sexual activity. Premature ejaculation is the inability to delay orgasm and ejaculation to the point where they occur very early in the course of sexual interaction, leaving the other partner dissatisfied. Male orgasmic disorder: difficulty to achieve orgasm (climax) with a partner; unable to achieve orgasm without prolonged sexual contact; failure to achieve orgasm during intercourse. In certain instances, orgasm can only be attained by masturbation or oral sex. Inhibited or hypoactive sexual desire: a lack of interest in sexual intercourse or an absence of sexual desire altogether. Retrograde ejaculation: instead of erupting from the end of the penis, the sperm enters the bladder backwards during orgasm. This is not hazardous. It is a common adverse effect of several drugs. If your sexual difficulty only occurs in specific situations or with specific sexual partners, then your disease is termed "situational" as opposed to "generalised" (occurring regardless of the circumstances or partner). Many of these sexual problems will manifest at some point in a man's lifetime. In fact, some researchers only consider a diagnosis of sexual dysfunction if the issue occurs in 25% of all sexual attempts.LISA TORNEY:https://lisatorney.com.au/0424 264 288Sexual or relationship concerns can be difficult to talk about and may negatively impact on our emotional well-being.

On Episode 5 of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we speak with JOAO FLOENCIO. We discuss THE HISTORY OF AIDS & SEX. JOAO FLOENCIO  is a queer cultural theorist of the body rechearching visual cultures of sexuality, health and illness in relation to wider Western biopolitical, philosophical and technoscientific histories.His monograph Bareback Porn, Porous Masculinities, Queer Futures: The Ethics of Becoming-Pig (Routledge, 2020) analyses contemporary gay "pig" masculinities, which have developed alongside antiretroviral therapies, online porn, and new sexualised patterns of recreational drug use. It examines them and their pornographic representations, speculating on their ethical and biopolitical dimensions in relation to modern European histories, ideologies and conceptualisations of the male body.The work of João Florêncio, therefore, contributes to a widening and greater understanding of our conventions of gender and sexuality. Fleeing from simplistic answers and solutions, the author demonstrates how much the relationships between these elements are often contradictiory and with recurrent dislocations, and that the "norm" and the "transgression" can even walk together, inhabiting the same practice (or the same desire). And this is the power of the liminal and frontier space, since it is in these fissures that lines of flight are presented, alternative paths can be taken and new world(s) are possible. Joao is currently working on a new book project entitled Crossings: Creative Ecologies of Cruising. Co-written with artist Liz Rosenfeld, it will be part autotheoretical speculation, part critical reflection, on the ethics, politics and ecologies of the (chiefly) gay male practice of cruising for sex.

We experience shame when we feel a painful sense of being inadequate, flawed or unworthy. Shame is the opposite of pride and it's very similar to guilt – both involve negative self-judgment. Guilt occurs when we feel badly about what we have or haven't done, whereas shame is feeling badly about ourselves as a person.Voices often accompany the terrible feeling, often the voice of the person who forced the toxic shame into the sufferer. It creates terrible feelings of worthlessness and inadequacy. People will regularly think negative thoughts about themselves, and believe them, such as: “I'm unloveable” or “I'm never good enough”Shame describes feelings of inadequacy created by internalized negative beliefs about oneself. Personal insecurities, secrets, mistakes, and perceived flaws can all trigger shame responses, causing people to become extremely self-conscious, self-critical, and embarrassed.We feel shame when we violate the social norms we believe in. At such moments we feel humiliated, exposed and small and are unable to look another person straight in the eye. We want to sink into the ground and disappear. Shame makes us direct our focus inward and view our entire self in a negative lightLawrence Akers:My goal is to help people adjust in this ever-changing world that we live in so that they can experience a rich, meaningful existence.I've experienced stress and anxiety first hand and I know how it can impact our lives in so many ways.I help people to give them strategies and tools to help them deal with the feelings, thoughts, and behaviours that hold them back.To see people experience that shift in their thinking and to step forward into the best version of themselves that they can be is something that gives my work so much meaning.Release Hypnosis is also one of the few clinical hypnotherapy practices specialising in the unique needs of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and intersex communities.I've worked with the LGBTQIA+ community over many years, originally as a facilitator for the Victorian AIDS Council ‘Young & Gay' program and their ‘Boyant' program. My knowledge of LGBTQIA+ issues comes from years of working with the community as well as my own first hand personal experiences.I offer one-on-one counselling and hypnotherapy solutions as well as my regular podcast OUTthink which looks at the mental health of the LGBTQIA+ community through special guests and discussion.LAWRENCE AKERS:RELEASE HYNOSISwww.releasehypnosis.com.auT: 0403 821 807E: lawrence@releasehypnosis.com.auFACEBOOK-www.facebook.com/releasehypnosisTWITTER-www.twitter.com/Release_hypnosisINSTAGRAM-www.instagram/releasehypnosismelbourne-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-MENS SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/

The third episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast hosted by  Joe-y Busuttil & co host Adam Cox.What exactly is shame? Shame encompasses feelings about who you are and how you feel about yourself after doing something wrong, such as believing that you are not good enough, that you are a bad person, or that you are broken. You can make yourself feel ashamed, and others can shame you (if you allow them to), lowering your self-esteem. Shame is preferable to guilt. When you feel guilty, it is an awareness of your choices or behaviours, not of who you are. You feel bad about yourself when you are ashamed. You recognise you made a poor decision, which you can correct or apologise for, but it has nothing to do with your self-worth. Shame is the polar opposite of empathy. Empathy is the ability to "put yourself in someone else's shoes" and experience what they are experiencing. And if you can't do that exactly, you tell them you don't know how they feel, but you're here to listen and help. Being open without attempting to solve the person's problem is essential in allowing them to work through their feelings of shame with love, respect, trust, and kindness. Vulnerability necessitates the development of trust over time. Trust necessitates the accumulation of social support over time. The more you trust someone, the more comfortable you are being vulnerable with them. Trust also necessitates visibility, which is difficult if you are accustomed to hiding your emotions or if any aspect of your identity is still hidden in the closet. The more vulnerable you are, the more joy you will feel. Practicing "active gratitude" is one of the best ways to experience more joy in your life. Begin a gratitude journal or simply write about what you are grateful for in your journal at the beginning and end of each day.ADAM COX:the gay coachFacebook-www.facebook.com/adamgcoxInstagram-www.instagram.com/thecoxcoach-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------JOE BUSUTTILMENS COACH/ COUNSELLORthesecretmensbusiness@gmail.comwww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comINSTAGRAM:@the_shaft_experienceFACEBOOK:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE-MENS SEXUAL HEALTHwww.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01/the HARDER SHAFT podcast:https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/thesecretmensbusinessAvailabe on all PODCAST PLATFORMS-iTunesSpotifyDeezerGoogle ManagerAmazom MusicPodomaticYOUTUBE:THE SHAFT EXPERIENCE - MENS SEXUAL HEALTH https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSHAFTExperienceMENSSexualHealthsupportc

On the second episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast hosted by  Joe-y Busuttil & New Zealands  own Grant Shepherd. .Interested in learning more about Tantra.Despite its age as a philosophical system that dates back more than a century, Tantra has gained popularity in the West in recent decades. You may have heard the term "tantra" used in the media and in spiritual circles to describe ecstatic, open relationships and multiple orgasms in tantric sex (where it can have different overtones such as: connection, celebration, intimacy, transcendence, divine consciousness, and so on). You may not have heard of Tantra before, but we'd like to show you how this ancient Eastern wisdom can make every day of your life a joy. When Tantra was first developed, it was based on a combination of Hinduism and Buddhism.Tantric insights:Instead of simply referring to "a loom," the term "Tantra" is used in Indian tradition to denote "text, theory, system, method, tool, technique, and practise." "Incorporating traditions and teachings into texts, techniques, or practises" is how Tantra is described in ancient texts. Interpretations and misinterpretations of ancient texts were greatly influenced by their use of highly metaphorical language, which left a wide open field for interpretation (to prevent uninitiated people from applying its principles in the wrong way).  All things in the universe are manifestations of the divine energy that governs the universe itself, and this includes everyone and everything in it. In this trance-inducing ritual, Shiva and Shakti, the masculine and feminine archetypes, the Sun and the Moon, night and day, and life and death, all dance together. In this way, Tantra can be viewed as the ultimate self-realisation tool for reaching enlightenment and realising the oneness of all things in the universe. All things have a divine nature, and we are no exception. All of life's aspects, including the senses, are included in this divine vision. Tantra is an excellent choice when it comes to practicality. Beyond intellectual comprehension, we must engage our bodies, senses, and emotions in order to fully comprehend our divine nature. It is to one's life, and not to a particular deity, that one should devote oneself. The two are inseparable in the world of tantra. Everything in the universe has a divine purpose, including our sexual energy. This blissful state of being can be achieved by using lovemaking as a means of transcending the physical level in Tantra. According to Western interpretations of Tantric teachings, sexuality is a central theme. The use of sex as a means to attain enlightenment is not the only way Tantra can be defined. It's a spiritual tool that can help you ascend to a higher plane of existence. Everything else was thrown out in favour of what was simple and quick (including the sexual component). Tantras from the past There are three main ways to practise tantra, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. It is Tantric Sexuality's concentration on sexual energy that makes it unique. In Tantra, sexual energy is held in high esteem. The universe's most potent and healing force is that of sexual attraction. Chi (Prana) is recirculated through the body and transformed into unlimited strength, vigour, and creative potential through procedures such as energy orgasms, semen and sexual energy retention, divine feminine and divine male energy embodiment, and many others. People who use this energy in the right way gain greater insight into the meaning of relationships and intimacy, as well as a deeper connection with their own sensuality and sexuality. They also gain greater physical power as well as healing for a variety of ailments, including mental health issues (depression and anxiety), as well as physical and chronic immune imbalances. The advantages are genuinely innumerable. An integral part of Tantra Energy Healing's approach to healing is the activation and harmonisation of energy channels in order to facilitate the optimal flow of clean energy for mind-body-and-soul detoxification, the removal of trauma and blockages caused by previous wounds, and the empowerment of a person to realise their full sexual - orgatic potential and experience profound spiritual awakening.

What effect does it have on people's actions, relationships, and desires? There are few things that are truly universal.

This created a much needed narrative into MENS Sexual Health.This awareness needs to continue to evolve and expand its reach, and within my Psychotherapy work I have been really observing where MENS health is about to implode. THIS new venture is expanding on something I do already but wanting to take it directly to the men in need. It may come across as daring, some may say irresponsible.

He chooses to live life as a mythical adventure.Archetypes are universal, inborn models of people, behaviors, or personalities that play a role in influencing human behavior. They were introduced by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, who suggested that these archetypes were archaic forms of innate human knowledge passed down from our ancestors.In Jungian psychology, the archetypes represent universal patterns and images that are part of the collective unconscious. Jung believed that we inherit these archetypes much in the way we inherit instinctive patterns of behavior.TAYLOR TOARK :https://www.galliant.lifewww.facebook.com › Galliant TrainingsLinkedIn Taylor Roark - Founder - Galliant Trainings | https://uk.linkedin.com › taylor-roark-a852169Galliant Trainings (@thetaylorroark) https://www.instagram.com › thetaylorroark----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Secret MENS Business website:https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.netThe Secret MENS Business podcast:SpotifyiTunesGoogle ManagerAmazon MusicPodomatic -https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.comThe Secret MENS Business Facebook group (MEN Only):https://www.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01Secret MENS Business Podcast Facebook page :https://www.facebook.com/secretmensbusiness01Instagram:secretmensbusiness_coaching @EQUATOR THERAPIES - Mental Health Support    @Secret MENS Business - SMB TV ​THANK YOU FOR LISTENING

On this weeks interview on the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to SCOTT OHLGREN about Botanical Medicine for Mental Health.Scott Ohlgren is the owner and formulator of Synaptic Scientific. His had a long interest in natural foods as medicine going back to the mid-70s, and a particular love of cognitive and longevity herbal formulas. He graduated from a natural foods school in the '80s, and wrote three books on the diet-disease/diet-health connection that sold 80,000 hard copies in print. In 2007, he started what was arguably the world's first non-caffeinated think drink company, and our Brain Toniq beverage was the first nootropic ever to be sold in Whole Foods. By 2012, over 1,400 health food stores across North America, Europe and Russia were carrying Brain Toniq with over 2.5 million units a year.The impetus behind Synaptic Scientific is to take all of the best superfoods that Scott has  been using himself for decades, and to create a small set of extremely potent, best-in-their-class formulas that have a noticeable, palpable effect on health, and to find a way to price them better than anything else in the marketplace. His decades-long mission carries through in Synaptic Scientific, and that is to expose more and more people to the power and intelligence of using herbal plants as their main medicine cabinet.Brain chemicals—serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and more—influence mood, mental health, and sound reasoning. Chemical imbalances of these can easily be caused by stress, bad dietary choices and the use of chemical stimulants.SCOTT OLGREN:scott@synapticscientific.comwww.synapticscientific.com----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Secret MENS Business website:https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.netThe Secret MENS Business podcast:SpotifyiTunesGoogle ManagerAmazon MusicPodomatic -https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.comThe Secret MENS Business Facebook group (MEN Only):https://www.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01Secret MENS Business Podcast Facebook page :https://www.facebook.com/secretmensbusiness01Instagram:secretmensbusiness_coaching @EQUATOR THERAPIES - Mental Health Support    @Secret MENS Business - SMB TV ​

On this weeks interview on the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to children's book author Josh Langley about TEACHING THE NEXT GENERATION OF BOYS.Through the act of storytelling and being listened to, we can connect to our past, others, and ourselves. Passing on our legacy through our stories is not only a way to teach our values, it is also the essence of passing on a sense of self worth and identity to the next generation of men. We want our children to be happy, reach their potential, and live fulfilling lives. Increasingly, and especially in today's awareness of inequality, we also aspire for them to be part of a fair and equal society.Josh Langley was told he would amount to nothing in life, having failed high school (twice) and being unemployed for several years, but that didn't stop Josh from becoming a multi award-winning radio copywriter and award-winning children's author. Josh's debut children's book, Being You is Enough changed the trajectory of his life. Written as a love letter to his 8-year-old self, it's message of self-acceptance and love resonated with kids and parents around the world.  He went on to publish 9 books and in 2018 won the Australian Book Industry Awards Small Publishers' Children's Book of Year, for his second children's book It's Ok to Feel the Way You Do (Big Sky Publishing 2017).Now his ground-breaking children's books, programs and school talks on self-acceptance, resilience, understanding emotions and kindness, are helping thousands of kids make friends with themselves. Josh lives on 7 and a half acres in the Southwest of Western Australia with his husband and his favourite food is tortellini. Josh is the ambassador for the Children's Tumour Foundation and Camp Quality and was voted a Westfield Local Hero for the work he does with CTF.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk about Being a Humble man with global mens coach Dave Gold..A humble person is more socially-oriented than self-centered. Being humble means you not only evaluate yourself with honesty, but also always seek honest feedback from people who matter. By getting other people's reviews, humble people ensure that they are not misguided about their own abilities. A humble person is not proud and does not believe that they are better than other people. He gave a great performance, but he was very humble. Synonyms: modest, meek, unassuming, unpretentious More Synonyms of humble.Humility attracts others and opportunities. So the less you boast and focus on yourself, the more others want to be with you and work with you. The concept that opposites attract applies to the character trait of humility.Humble people are willing to see themselves accurately and appreciate feedback. Errors and mistakes provide feedback on one's own actions. So humble people see value in errors and the information that they provide for their own learning. This gives them an edge over others.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Secret MENS Business website:https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.netThe Secret MENS Business podcast:SpotifyiTunesGoogle ManagerAmazon MusicPodomatic -https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.comThe Secret MENS Business Facebook group (MEN Only):https://www.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01Secret MENS Business Podcast Facebook page :https://www.facebook.com/secretmensbusiness01Instagram:secretmensbusiness_coaching @EQUATOR THERAPIES - Mental Health Support    @Secret MENS Business - SMB TV ​

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk about Emotional Intelligence with renowned coach Daniel Tolson.Emotional intelligence (otherwise known as emotional quotient or EQ) is the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathise with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict.As a child, Daniel Tolson had Linear sequential learning disability. He was a slow learner. He had a curved spine. His hips were out of alignment. He couldn't run. His knees would collapse when he was running.This is his story.....This physical defect created pressure in my head, I was losing my vision. I couldn't think properly. I was in so much pain physically. In the end, my body collapsed under this tremendous stress, I developed chronic fatigue syndrome and contracted Epstein Barr virus and I had to drop out of school.When I recovered my uncle took me under his wing and showed me the blueprint of how to become the top 10% in real estate. I took that blueprint, overcompensated with actions, became the top 1% performer, and bought my first home at the age of 19. But I dreamt of becoming an Australian champion wakeboarder. So, I gave up the real estate career to pursue my dream. I had a lot of challenges. To overcome the fear and achieve my goal, I spent a lot of time and energy on personal development, learning how to systematically and methodically break barriers to achieve goals. Eventually, I became the Australian Wakeboarder Champion, not once, but three times. That experience of creating my breakthrough and sustaining it set me up for a series of career highs, such as co-leading 17000 cabin crews, launching my own business, and building a global business that impacts more than 15,000 business people 100X their life and income. In 2010, at the peak of my career, my wife was involved in an aircraft accident. It left her with some disabilities requiring multiple surgeries over the next 2.5 years. Eventually, she lost her job and was forced to leave the country. I left the job to join her back home to take care of her. But 10 months and 500 job applications later, I was jobless. We were living with my grandmother, depending on Australian social security payments. It was the lowest point of my life. I was desperate. And I knew if I want to be a man who provides for my family, things must change. I pulled myself together, used every tool and technology I have in my toolbox, got clarity on life, and launched my coaching business from my grandmother's spare bedroom. I wish I could say life was happy ever after. But no, success never comes on the first attempt. Richard Branson launched 400 companies before founding Virgin galactic. Steven Spielberg was rejected by Film School 3 times. I was betrayed by a business partner. I had to move countries several times. I was broke three times in 3 different countries and had to start all over again.Let's talk about the work you do. What do you specialise in and why should someone work with you over the competition? You can start by learning to identify the emotions you are feeling as well as understanding them. If you are able to name the emotion you are feeling, you have a better chance of understanding what you are feeling. You can also learn to better regulate your emotions just by stopping and thinking before you act and judge. These skills will help you martial inner resolve and stick to what really matters in life.DANIEL TOLSON:www.danieltolson.comInstagram:Daniel Tolson (@danieltolson) YOUTUBE :www.youtube.com › Daniel TolsonLinkedIn:www.linkedin.com › today › author › danieltolsonFacebookwww.facebook.com ›Daniel Tolson › Business Consultant----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Secret MENS Business website:https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.netThe Secret MENS Business podcast:SpotifyiTunesGoogle ManagerAmazon MusicPodomatic -https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.comThe Secret MENS Business Facebook group (MEN Only):https://www.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01Secret MENS Business Podcast Facebook page :https://www.facebook.com/secretmensbusiness01Instagram:secretmensbusiness_coaching @EQUATOR THERAPIES - Mental Health Support    @Secret MENS Business - SMB TV ​

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk Paul Martino about the Lost Boys generation.Paul Marino is a professional who has achieved success through little more than hard work, perseverance, and getting some good advice along the way. His path to success was far from a smooth ride, and he learned some painful but essential lessons. He would like to share some of these lessons as well a few mistakes he made through the telling of humorous, sometimes tragic, but always honest stories. The topics covered in this book include several universal rites of passage such as struggling, failure, finding purpose, and generating fulfilment.Each chapter in this book is succinct and reads like a combat manual for mindful living. Ideal for any young professional or new college graduate, the advice contained in this book is timeless, encouraging, and applicable to life. Sometimes sarcastic and sometimes serious, the authors never stray from the central theme; don't take yourself too seriously.PAUL MARTINO -Letters to our Younger Self.https://www.amazon.com/Letters-Our-Younger-Selves-Mindful---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Secret MENS Business website:https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.netThe Secret MENS Business podcast:SpotifyiTunesDeezerGoogle ManagerAmazon Music & other Podcast platformsPodomatic -https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.comThe Secret MENS Business Facebook group (MEN Only):https://www.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01Secret MENS Business Podcast Facebook page :https://www.facebook.com/projectselfacceptanceInstagram:secretmensbusiness_smbJoe Busuttil-Equator Therapies:www.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comMental Health Support YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/c/MentalHealthSupportJoeBusuttilFacebook - Mental Health Support :https://www.facebook.com/equatortherapiesFacebook - the Eudaimonia connection podcasthttps://www.facebook.com/theeudaimoniaconnectionpodcastthe Eudaimonia Connection podcast website -https://eudiamoniaconnection.podomatic.netLinkedin-https://www.linkedin.com/in/joebusuttil/

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk to Sex Coach Sarrah Rose about Sexual Power.Sarrah Rose is a Certified Sex Coach specialise Men's Sexuality and Tantra.For a very long time, I was sexually repressed, and it took years before I became comfortable and confident with my sexuality. A lot of the thoughts that I had about sex were negative.Sex wasn't fun, pleasurable or exciting but instead, it was something that I just did because I was supposed to do. I settled for a lot of really bad sexual experiences.I faked orgasms and made guys feel better than they really were, which completely sucked and I got nothing out of it.It wasn't just me…my girlfriends said the same thing…we complained about it but accepted that it was reality.Like many others, I had partners that were no good in bed, negative conditioning from the way that society and religion view sexuality and trauma that had numbed me. It took me a very long time to become confident sexually.I decided that I wanted to learn more and become an expert in Tantra, so I became certified as a coach.I realised that the conventional way of having sex could no longer be accepted as the norm.After I became certified, I began teaching women and they also had profound results but they kept begging me to teach men.They wanted men to be this kind of lover and to be able to satisfy them in this way.I looked at what was going on in society.Based on my own experiences with men and what other women were reporting, many guys had lost their way with women.Because of the atrocious actions of some men in previous generations and also some men in current times, all guys were and are paying a price.And women are paying the price with them.Feminism, #MeToo and Equality have done a much needed job in culture.And, that's why I created Man on Fire.SARRAH ROSE:https://tantricactivation.comINSTAGRAM:Sarrah Rose (@tantricactivation) LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com › sarrah-rose-317882225Twitter:Sarrah Rose (@IAmSarrahRose)  Twitterhttps://twitter.com › iamsarrahrose---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Secret MENS Business website:https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.netThe Secret MENS Business podcast:SpotifyiTunesDeezerGoogle ManagerAmazon Music & other Podcast platforms available Podomatic -https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.comThe Secret MENS Business Facebook group (MEN Only):https://www.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01Secret MENS Business Podcast Facebook page :https://www.facebook.com/projectselfacceptanceInstagram:secretmensbusiness_smbJoe Busuttil-Equator Therapies:www.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comMental Health Support YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/c/MentalHealthSupportJoeBusuttilFacebook - Mental Health Support :https://www.facebook.com/equatortherapiesFacebook - the Eudaimonia connection podcasthttps://www.facebook.com/theeudaimoniaconnectionpodcastthe Eudaimonia Connection podcast website -https://eudiamoniaconnection.podomatic.netLinkedin-https://www.linkedin.com/in/joebusuttil/

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk to coach, Chris Polourde about the importance of Emotional Tolerance,Being with your feelings involves accurately recognising your emotional state. Often, many mislabel their feelings and therefore manage them incorrectly. Thinking back to your upbringing could offer insight into why you respond to certain situations in certain ways today. For example, if crying was not tolerated in your household, this could be why you suppress emotions attached to sadness. Further, maybe you were told to “suck it up,” which is why you suppress or deny certain feelings today.How you're feeling might not coincide with what you're expressing. For example, you might say that you're stressed out rather than angry, or tired rather than sad. It is also essential to recognize the perception you may have developed about certain feelings. Give yourself permission to experience a full range of emotions. Experiencing feelings is different than expressing them.If there is one thing I've learned in my 20+ years of coaching, it's that the journey to your most authentic, fulfilled, and happy self begins from the inside out. The process of falling in love with the journey of self discovery means embracing your unique story so that you have clarity on where you have been and where you are meant to be.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk to healing coach, Adam Stanecki about entering the heart to heal. We live in a world where the pain and suffering we see around us is almost more than we can bear. Regularly, we witness people hurting each other and themselves. Trusting others can become difficult because we have been betrayed, abused, used and abandoned. We have all been lied to and we have all been left behind. Every one of us has been, in some way, hurt by someone else. Some of us have been hurt so deeply that our healing will last forever. Because we have been hurt by others and because we have witnessed the pain that some individuals are capable of inflicting on other human beings —the apathy and disregard for life that exists, we close our hearts. Opening and balancing your heart chakra allows past grievances to be released and allows you to open yourself up to love, forgiveness, kindness and compassion. When the Heart Chakra is out of balance, or closed, people tend to feel anger, grief, or hatred.You feel light, free, expansive and alive. ... Living from your heart space means listening to your feelings and understanding what they are telling you. It feels just right and aligned to who you are. It feels authentic.The spiritual heart is considered by many to be the seat of human emotion and psychic energy. We as humans, possess the power to heal and the power to destroy. The spiritual heart is the main conduit of this immense power. The invisible frequency that we emit from our hearts can have a direct and indirect effect on the world around us. The space in which this loving frequency can flow is regulated by our ability and willingness to open our hearts completely. When we open our hearts wide and hold that space, we introduce healing to the world. When we close our hearts, we barricade that space, and employ the degradation of healing vibrations. Our hearts are powerful beyond measure. Our emotions alter the world around us. When we hold the space in our hearts open for others, life can be beautiful and love bountiful.  Adam Stanecki has investigated over 25 years learning how to live the best life possible. He has done a whole lot of work on himself , and helped thousands of people on their journeys too.I now hold space and provide guidance as a Men's Coach so that I can help men be all that they can be and in turn be of great service to the world. how to live the best life possible.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk to Google Engineer Donovon Jenson about finding Happiness todayIt's common to overhear individuals speaking about how much they hate their job, another person, or some other facet of their lives. While life is never perfect, why do so many of us allow ourselves to be miserable with certain parts of it? I've certainly been guilty of this myself, passively allowing habits, people, and circumstances to limit my happiness. As we transcend primal needs, I believe many of us are missing essentials tools and information to achieve holistic happiness.Over the past few years I've worked hard to cultivate my mindset toward positivity and growth. The process is constant and at times has been extremely difficult, but I find myself becoming more happy as I improve. When I reflect on my journey, there are certain tools and ideas that have fundamentally changed my life for the better and I wish I had encountered them earlier.This site is my commitment to constantly research these tools to happiness and share my findings with anyone who can benefit. We all deserve to live our best possible lives. I want to continue developing and help everyone else along the way. I know the kinds of resources you encounter make all the difference and I aim to make them more available. If there's anything I can do to improve the How to Happy, please let me know.Bio: I'm a Utah native who has long been interested in human development and health.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk to our regular guest Greg Riley about the New Order of Transformation.With New Order  transformation comes healing and wholeness. It's as if COVID  has been waiting in the wings all along, until we made room for real change.The spiritual practice of transformation holds within its wide embrace the personal renewals that come with a spiritual awakening, a conversion, a mystical epiphany, or an enlightenment. It covers the deepening that takes place when we get in touch with our Higher Self or Spirit.Transformation usually involves the shedding of old ways, especially those that have become burdens. This practice proclaims that no matter who you are, no matter what has already happened to you, no matter what you have done, it is still possible to be and do something new.Transformation implies a marked change in your life, but you can practice it by making simple changes. Start by doing something different — walk to work by a new route, answer the telephone with your other than usual hand. Break a habit, any habit. Signal Spirit that you are willing to accept change in your life and to be an agent of change in the world.GREG RILEY:https://www.gregriley.com.auLinkedIn: Director Greg Riley Pty Ltd https://au.linkedin.com › greg-riley-518b2417Instagram:Greg Riley (@gregriley5dimensions) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Secret MENS Business website:https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.netThe Secret MENS Business podcast:SpotifyiTunesDeezerGoogle ManagerAmazon Music & other Podcast platformsPodomatic -https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.comThe Secret MENS Business Facebook group (MEN Only):https://www.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01Secret MENS Business Podcast Facebook page :https://www.facebook.com/projectselfacceptanceInstagram:secretmensbusiness_smbJoe Busuttil-Equator Therapies:www.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comMental Health Support YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/c/MentalHealthSupportJoeBusuttilFacebook - Mental Health Support :https://www.facebook.com/equatortherapiesFacebook - the Eudaimonia connection podcasthttps://www.facebook.com/theeudaimoniaconnectionpodcastthe Eudaimonia Connection podcast website -https://eudiamoniaconnection.podomatic.netLinkedin-https://www.linkedin.com/in/joebusuttil/

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk to Luke Fenwick about the power of leaving a legacy. An emotional legacy is something that is conceptualised and role modeled during a lifetime. As one starts to age, this legacy can hold greater meaning when time seems to race by. It has to do with who we are as people, what we have to offer, what things we hold dear, and what we want others know about us.Luke decided it was time to change the story which was supposed to be “the rest of my life”.  He stepped away from his corporate role to reevaluate what was important and create beliefs and habits that would carry him forward in life and to his legacy. Stepping away allowed him the opportunity to work towards his vision of  being the best father, husband and person he could be. It allowed him time to rewire the actions he took each and every day. Although a period of challenge,  he gained clarity that he needed to have purpose in his work and life, instead of focusing on a pay check or lifestyle. He realised that he had to alter his actions to do what he so desperately wanted to do, those actions move him towards his mission, which is to help as many people do the things they want to do in order to live their best life and create a legacy of fulfilment.To learn more about Luke Fenwick and his coaching philosophy and services, head to his website - www.lukefenwick.com.Sign up to his "That's BS!" newsletter which is all about Behaviours and Strategies that address unhelpful habits or actions.Instagram -@luke.fenwick@lukefenwickcoach Facebook -Luke Fenwick - Life Impact Coach & Behaviour Strategist LinkedIn -@ Luke Fenwick ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Secret MENS Business website:https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.netThe Secret MENS Business podcast:SpotifyiTunesDeezerGoogle ManagerAmazon Music & other Podcast platformsPodomatic -https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.comThe Secret MENS Business Facebook group (MEN Only):https://www.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01Secret MENS Business Podcast Facebook page :https://www.facebook.com/projectselfacceptanceInstagram:secretmensbusiness_smbJoe Busuttil-Equator Therapies:www.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.comMental Health Support YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/c/MentalHealthSupportJoeBusuttilFacebook - Mental Health Support :https://www.facebook.com/equatortherapiesFacebook - the Eudaimonia connection podcasthttps://www.facebook.com/theeudaimoniaconnectionpodcastthe Eudaimonia Connection podcast website -https://eudiamoniaconnection.podomatic.netLinkedin-https://www.linkedin.com/in/joebusuttil/

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk to Fletcher Ellingson and how FEAR can come bearing gifts. Maybe you have been there or had it even worse. Perhaps you can imagine the stress and panic a person feels when they find themselves in a situation where they have debt and no income. That was me. My business had fallen apart and we were stuck with the debt and no immediate way to generate income. Our situation was dire enough that we qualified for food stamps. It was a low time in my life and yet now, I am grateful it happened. That desperation and despair sparked something in me. I had to begin considering other options and do so quickly! I had to get into massive action and open my mind to the advice of others. Ultimately I had to change my thinking…again. We had taken a huge risk in pursuing our dream of starting a family business. We believed we could do it and we gave it everything we had. But what we didn't have was the needed knowledge about what it took to run a business. So like the majority of small businesses, we were not able to keep it going and closed up shop after a few years.Fletcher Ellingson is a personal development coach, speaker, and creator of The Practice of Feeling Good. He helps others break free from financial struggle, overwhelm, and persistent worry so they can spend more time doing what they love, contribute to their families, and make an impact in their communities.Fletcher has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs, and successful professionals embrace the principles of The Practice of Feeling Good in Business and life. As a result they've been able to radically shift their thinking in order to produce outcomes in their health, wealth and relationships which were not previously possible. Using a combination of science, psychology and inquiry into being his clients learn to create, attract, and navigate life with greater ease and joy.Fletcher has studied with some of the best minds in the personal development industry. In addition to over 25 years of speaking for audiences across the United States he and his wife, Dr. Amy Ellingson host a weekly television show during which they address topics of health, wealth and relationships.People get from where they are to where they want to be.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast I discuss "Cancel Culture". Within the turbulent past few years, the idea that a person can be “cancelled” — in other words, culturally blocked from having a prominent public platform or career — has become a polarizing topic of debate. The rise of “cancel culture” and the idea of cancelling someone coincides with a familiar pattern: A celebrity or other public figure does or says something offensive. A public backlash, often fuelled by politically progressive social media, ensues.It's common to compare cancel culture to “call-out culture” — but its real roots may lie in the civil rights movementAs cancel culture caught on, many members of the public, as well as the media, have frequently conflated it with other adjacent trends — especially “call-out culture.” Cancel culture can be seen as an extension of call-out culture: the natural escalation from pointing out a problem to calling for the head of the person who caused it.Cancel culture and call-out culture are often confused not only with each other, but also with broader public shaming trends, as part of a collectivised narrative that all of these things are examples of trolling and harassment. The media has sometimes referred to this collectivised narrative as “outrage culture.”Joe BusuttilEquator Therapieswww.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.com----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Secret MENS Business website:https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.netThe Secret MENS Business podcast:SpotifyiTunesGoogle ManagerAmazon MusicDeezerPodomatic -https://thesecretmensbusiness.podomatic.comThe Secret MENS Business Facebook group (MEN Only):https://www.facebook.com/groups/secretmensbusiness01Secret MENS Business Podcast Facebook page :https://www.facebook.com/projectselfacceptanceInstagram:secretmensbusiness_smb
