Human’s evolved to be in community with others, to be supported by and be in support of other humans, to build relationships, to problems solve, to hunt and cook and sing and dance and share stories and experiences. We are social creatures. You are a social creature. Yet, when it comes to the stuff that challenges you, the things that hold you back, that keep tripping you up, there is a universal truth that actually negates this point for a very important moment; no one is coming to save you.  No one is going to fix your shit or do the work for you, no one is going to make you do the thing you need to do. And even if they did, it’s not really yours at that point - if they do it, you don’t own it. That is entirely disempowering. One can lead a horse to water. One can attempt to force the horse’s head to the water. But one cannot, no matter how much one tries, make the horse drink it. The horse must do the drinking itself. Hello, hi - you’re the horse. We’re all the horse. We can be supported and helped, we can be guided and poked and challenged into action, but we have to take the actual action.   In this episode: And this is what brings me to this week’s solo podcast episode - whatever it is you’re challenged by, whatever displeasure or struggle you’re experiencing if you are waiting for someone to come and rescue you and do it for you - you will be waiting forever. In this episode I explore this idea, however, I do it off the back of a comprehensive list of questions to support you in getting to that point. What you’ll see in this episode is a list of questions to help you break down and review 2020 and then plan out 2021. So yeah, it’s the end of January already, but I suspect many people listening to this episode (reading this) might not have done something as comprehensive as this. It is never too late to do this stuff, seeing as the date is arbitrary anyway - start today and review back 12 months from this point and then plan 12 months forward from this point. Because here’s the thing - if we don’t review and plan in this detail - we will continue to have lives that are vague, unclear, and frustrating. Once you’ve done that, well, you’ll know no one is coming to save you and you’ll be int he best position to take the necessary steps forward yourself. THEN if you feel the need for some external support, if you think the step you need to take is to then join a community of men and coaches that can help you implement all of the stuff you plan, then the fastest and most serious of you can act NOW - I have three spots left in the February intake of EVERYDAY LEGENDS ACADEMY - as of publishing this. However, it is highly likely they will go quickly - so click below, book an initial application query call and lets you and me see if me and my team can be the guiding hand once you take the step.   As always, if this lands, please share this episode with a man you know could benefit from it.

It would seem now more than perhaps ever, or certainly in recent history, we as a society, are faced with our shadow; the parts of ourselves, as individuals and a collective, that we have shamed, shunned, and hidden away into a dark corner. When we reject or shame something it goes away into the dark, and we try to convince ourselves that it’s not here, not around, simply because we’re choosing not to see it. But that is very far from the truth. In the dark those things are gaining power, they grow. When the parts of us in the shadow gain power they leak into our lives. And the best answer to that from the level of psychology that created it, is to shame it further and hide it even more. All this does is give more power to those parts of us we want to shame, which continue to act out in ineffective ways, keeping us in that cycle of shame and self-rejection. This idea of the shadow isn’t a new one, but the actual reality of it is much older - as old as humans have been evolved creatures, yet it only seems to get stronger the more we have a world of divisive tribal ideologies and rhetoric creating more and more ‘us vs them’. This look into the shadow is what I wanted to explore on the podcast this week with my guest Connor Beaton.   In this Episode: Connor is a men’s coach, the founder of Mantalks, and a great man with a wildly interesting past and wholly impressive present. His work is similar to mine in that he works in supporting men in exploring the parts of themselves that have been pushed into the dark corners, bringing those dark parts into the light. so that they can reclaim agency of their lives. He does a lot of focused work on the shadow, and so this was what we explored in this episode starting squarely with his own story.   This story is one ranging from international opera singer to living out of his car and having a total moment of rock-bottom leading into a personal transformation of sorts, all the way through to the amazing work he does now.   We also take this topic into an area I think we need to continue to explore when it comes to addressing the state of men and masculinity, and that is the way in which man men across the globe, but most certainly in the USA exclusively tie their masculinity to their religion and their patriotism. Connor has spoken about this before, and it was a topic I wanted to cover with him on this episode so we waded in to explore why and how men tie their masculinity to anything external to them, including country and Christ.

Here’s a common desire in so many men - “I want to be more confident” which, if not obvious, follows the proclamation “I’m just not confident enough” - or words very close to that effect. They’re the words of men focused on a story they have around confidence - that they don’t have it and they need to find it. But it goes beyond that, it extends into this idea I have that some people have it, they're doing things I’m not, and because they have it and I don’t, there must be something wrong with me. And that story - or line of internal narrative - is what not only perpetuates the belief that we don’t have confidence, therefore, don’t feel it, but it is the creation of not feeling confident in its entirety. Confidence is a subject we have butchered for so long, like many others in the realm of personal development such as motivation, will power or discipline.What it requires is a deeper assessment, some curiosity to see what is really playing out here. If I want to feel confident in something yet my fear around the lack of confidence - in reality, my insecurity about not looking competent - is stopping me from doing the thing to gain the confidence I get from doing it, I am creating and perpetuating my own misery cycle. This is so common it hurts. And so, that’s what I wanted to cover in this episode of the podcast.   In this episode: A while ago I did a short video on my social media channels exploring this idea that most men have confidence all wrong. In this episode, I wanted to take that video and expand upon it. So you’ll hear the introduction for the podcast and me introducing the topic, then you’ll hear the audio from the original video backed up by an expansion on this idea. From here I’ll take you into not only why and how we have confidence wrong, but how to actually gain real, legit, lasting grounded confidence. It’s not some magical thing, there is no confidence fairy that will sprinkle you with confidence dust on you one night - it comes down to the stories you tell yourself, caching the BS ones mentioned above, and then in the actions we take.   A hint to what is covered - get used to the idea of sucking and becoming more competent. If you can consistently apply yourself to the simple act of improving your competence in what you wish to be confident in, you will become that. Not the other way around.   This might be a knock to your balls as I shatter a long term belief about confidence and the fruitless actions of countless men trying to build their confidence. If that’s the case - good, I hope it works and that you can receive it with the respect for you that it is intended. This really is just the beginning of this conversation, as it can and does need to go even deeper. Exploring and really uncovering your confidence story, both what and how it is anchored in your psyche and, therefore, how we get out of it. This is central to the first and third pillars of the work in my major coaching program the EVERYDAY LEGENDS ACADEMY.

Today’s episode is a bit different. My guest is Traver Boehm. And also I’m his guest. Traver and I are colleagues and (internet) friends with a deep respect for each other and each other’s work. When Traver asked me to appear on his podcast, I responded with ‘of course’ and then “I’d like to have you on mine too. He initially responded “Of course” to then reflect and suggest “Why don’t we simply do a two-way conversation and both publish it instead of doing one interview then changing and going again?” Efficiency - I like it - so I agreed and here we are. I suggested we explore a question that I was posed by one of my listeners, friend and former clients, the everyday legend Dana. Dana shared a curious and thoughtful question that speaks to his thoughtfulness. That was: “During these times of global hardship, how should we as men best show up in our local community/friend circles/workplaces to demonstrate cohesive leadership, encourage calm rational behaviour, be inclusive, protect what we cherish and instil a sense of hope to move forward in a positive way?“ Yeah, just a small topic :-) But something that Traver and I felt up to exploring, because, if two guys leading other men and creating communities of men can’t address a question like this, who will? That’s a big chunk of what we explore in this episode and all of the nuance around it. It brings to mind a term for me which features in my coaching academy and I spoke about in the first episode of this podcast, for what I think the everyday legend is - ‘Zeus Energy’ an ancient Greek term that was described as ‘Male authority accepted for the sake of the community’.   I also put to Traver the idea of a ‘Compassion Revolution’. Keep an ear out for that part later on in the episode. We did our best to keep this a flowing two-way conversation with your ears in mind. I trust you will get something from this conversation. Please share it with someone you think would enjoy, benefit from, and potentially be lovingly challenged by its content. And my request of you - to leave me a 5-star rating a review on Apple.   More on Traver: Traver Boehm is the author of Today I Rise, and Man UNcivilized. He’s a two time TEDx speaker, men’s coach and the founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement. This movement is radically redefining the way men around the globe experience their masculinity by uniquely blending both primal elements of manhood with massive doses of consciousness.   Drawing upon an eclectic background ranging from professional bodyguarding and Mixed Martial Arts to Traditional Chinese Medicine and meditation, Traver also teaches people to skillfully use the inevitable pain of their lives as fuel for growth and positive change. In 2016 after losing a pregnancy, his marriage, and his business partnership all within weeks of each other, he created a radical social experiment and spent the next 12 months as if it were his last year to live, aptly naming it “The Year to Live Project.” A few of the highlights of the year include: Volunteering with the dying as a hospice worker Spending 28 days in complete isolation and pitch-black darkness in Guatemala  Living in the frigid Utah wilderness for a month with only a knife, a water bottle, and a blanket   After publishing Today I Rise and receiving an influx of calls specifically from men, Traver began guiding men through their own journey into an actualized version masculinity by asking them these two questions: “Are you leading or being led?” And, “What are your wounds and what are you doing to heal them? When so many said this way of thinking and living was counterintuitive to how they were taught “civilized” men should act, the movement was born. Now men all over the world have deemed themselves UNcivilized as they wake up to meditate, feel into their hearts, and train their bodies. Men who can fight, fuck, feed, and feel. And do all four well.  When not teaching workshops or radically shifting the way men experience their masculinity, Traver can be found chewing on his thumbnail in front of his laptop, chasing surf around the globe, or being reminded that yoga is a lot harder than it looks.

There are a few terms that make their way around the personal development world and become common vernacular. Some become tired and worn, such as ‘authenticity’ or ‘vulnerability’. Then there is men’s work in particular, which it’s own nuanced cliques and terms. To me, some of it doesn’t connect or resonate, while some of it seems tired and inaccessible. Then there are terms which I think every man would benefit from understanding and knowing how to apply to his life for the better. One of those is the idea of the masculine and feminine. In my own work, we look at these terms and understand them at what I would call a fairly simple level. My students don’t need to write a thesis on these aspects we all have in us, they simply need to understand them enough to know how to apply them to their lives so they live with more clarity and purpose. It’s not a gendered thing - the masculine is something every human has on some level, each individual. As is the feminine. However, in my opinion, when it boils down to nature, the majority of men are more masculine. That doesn’t mean some men aren’t, nor that these men don’t have a feminine side. We do, and it’s vitally important that we understand it, honour it, and integrate into our full selves. But the suggestion of these terms can be confusing. That’s why I brought Rosko Blake onto the podcast this week.   In this Episode: Rosko is someone I met many years ago when I was working as a personal trainer still and I attended a workshop of his on energy systems. There was one thing that really stuck out to me in that workshop - an all-out two-minute burpee test. I can still feel the horrid lactic acid build-up that escalated inside me for the two hours post that test. However, from that day, much like myself, Rosko has been on a journey of his own self-discovery which has led him to many places and modalities. As a movement teacher, he explores many things that involve the body, from breathwork to exercise, to meditation and shaking, something we discuss in this episode. Inside all of that is a focus on masculine embodiment for men, and this is the primary focus of this episode as we dive into what Rosko describes as the 3 Pillars of Masculine Transmission. It was a fascinating chat as we explore some concepts and real-life examples to apply to your own life, including some more extreme examples like being open to receiving something up your own bum in order to get a deep (excuse the pun) understanding and reverence for penetrating a female. I trust you will get something from this conversation. Please share it with someone you think would enjoy, benefit from, and potentially be lovingly challenged by its content.

There is this consistent thing that happens with so many of the men I work with - a journey in understanding and processing their emotions.  For some guys, it’s because they’ve shut off that side of themselves for so long - hearing terms that shame tears, emotions, or any kind of sensitivity will do that. And anything we shame and hide away will atrophy, it will die off. For these guys, it is a whole new and terrifying thing to connect to their body, tot heir emotions, and to their heart. For some other guys who identify with being more sensitive but in reality have this kind of over-sensitivity where they feel their emotions, even express them, but they have pour management of them. And so, in understanding themselves, in really becoming the everyday legend that they can become - first for themselves and then for their partners, this journey is often necessary. It can be daunting, confusing and fucking uncomfortable. And I’m fortunate to have an ace up my sleeve on this in my coaching program - today’s podcast guest: Kristian Stephan-Martin. Beyond being a wonderful Relationship, sex & self-expression coach and remarkably talented dancer, Kristian has a skill in helping men drop into their hearts and really understand their feelings so they can learn, process, and move ahead in life. That alone was reason to bring him onto today’s episode.   In this Episode: We get started with a personal story of Kristian’s, looking at what brought him to this place and this work. He shares a very personal story of early childhood trauma and how this massively impacted his belief about his manhood and masculinity, ultimately becoming a large catalyst for him exploring personal development and men’s work. We take his own journey and expand that into the world of men getting into their hearts in order to understand, process and figure out their emotions. His analogy of emotions being like a ‘GPS’ system is something to listen out for. Kristian has a cool concept of ‘Championing yourself’ where you both play you in that moment and the supporting father in the corner you need. A wonderful way of working through something new, uncomfortable, and challenging I trust you will get something from this conversation.

What is it to be & feel successful as a man This topic sits central to basically everything we do. It’s the one thing - not, one of many, actually - that we tend to have a ‘just part of life’ that we don’t even question. SUCCESS. But what is it even? To be a successful man? The unspoken cultural agreement in the West looks something like: He earns ‘good’ money, has a ‘good job, has nice things as a result, such as a house and car. Bonus points for power, status, and happy marriage but can also be a sexually talented bachelor. Sometimes both at the same time. Welcome to manhood, son, that’s your blueprint. Try your best to live up to it. And don’t worry if it doesn’t feel like you, go for it anyway because otherwise, well, I mean, otherwise, you won’t be a success. And obviously, f I’m not a success, I’m a failure by default. And this is how it has been for so long, the glorified measure of success as a man, that has sent many a man chasing more and more and more and never really landing in a place that is actually meaningful. He never connected any of those things to personal meaning - to what they provide for him, apart from feelings of success because they’re the socially agreed-upon measures. And with that, the socially agreed upon respect and approval for achieving such things. Or the men that can’t reach them, and so pile endless pressure and expectation on top of themselves trying to collect more of this, often missing what is in front of them all along; relationships, family, LIFE. This is what I cover in today’s episode - what is success, how have we got to this point, and how can we take ownership of it for ourselves.   Mike’s Takeaways: I’ve worked with many men over the years and chatted with (and studied) even more. What we place as success sits so paralysingly central to our life, to how we feel about ourselves, to what we do all day every day, that we simply must prioritise exploring it in more depth. It isn’t a baby out with the bathwater situation, of course. We don’t reject striving and achieving, but we want to give individual context and meaning to it. And that’s what I cover in this episode of the podcast.  We look at how we’ve narrowed down success as a man to our ability tp Provide, Protect, and Procreate. We explore these and where they actually have deep instinctual evolutionary roots And I’ll give you some things to reflect on and think about so you can start to determine what success is for yourself. This really is just the beginning of this conversation, as it can and does need to go even deeper. Exploring and really uncovering what success is to you, why it is and how to both anchor that in deep personal meaning, and, therefore, create built-in personal motivation to create that, is central to the second and third pillars of the work in my major coaching program the EVERYDAY LEGENDS ACADEMY.

Extreme initiation rites of passage & growth I was first introduced to Tim and his work via his TV show ‘Boy to Man’ back when it initially aired in Australia 2016. A show in which he travelled to 12 extremely remote locations to spend time with people still living in their traditional ways and partake in a series of coming of age boy to manhood rituals. I remember being captivated by the first ad I saw on TV, for two reasons; one. I am deeply curious about rites of passage rituals and the journey from boy to man. At the time, this was something I was looking into more and becoming increasingly aware of via its glaringly impactful absence in most modern society and culture. I still am, for what it’s worth. And two, I love me some adventure into strange and wonderful places, which is something this show has by the bucket load. Oh and three, at the time I was beginning a deep dive into a historical novel series based on the life of Ghengis Khan and his descendants, so with an episode going to Mongolia and taming a wild eagle - I was hooked before it even began. The show didn’t disappoint. With wild adventures, remarkable rituals and captivating situations that Tim got himself in, it was something I tuned in fr every week. Not long after I reached out to Tim about having him speak at a Beyond The Beers event of mine on his adventures and what he learnt going through all of these coming of ages rituals. Unfortunately, we couldn’t make the timing work. So when I started getting a list of people I want to speak to for this podcast, I knew Tim ahd to be on the list. And today, we bring you that conversation.   In this Episode: Since that show, Tim has also gone through another series of initiations, believe it or not. The first being another show with his fiancee PJ called ‘Extreme Engagement’ (now airing on Netflix globally) in which they, wait for it… set out to travel the world to remote occasions and villages to partake in ceremonies and challenges designed to test a couple before they commit to each other for life. Yeah, Tim has a thing. He has also gone through an initiation like no other, one I am extremely familiar with myself right now - fatherhood. So in this episode, we touch on these rituals,s what he experienced, the things he went through, what he learnt, what he saw in the other participants, especially the young men doing the coming of age rituals with him. We cover some of the most challenging moments he has faced, and the invariable ‘death’ that needs to occur in these rites of passage so that the new man can arise from the ashes, as it were, and become a mature, integrated, and valuable member of the community. Integral to all of these adventures and experiences was the fact that he was the film crew - he was capturing all the footage and capturing it in a way that would make not only a great TV show, but each adventure had to be a complete episode. He took one friend with him to run the sound and any filming he couldn’t do. That was it. An extra level to all of this, something we touch on in this podcast episode as well. Given all of the adventures Tim has been on, we could easily talk about it for hours. The stories alone are endless. However, I didn’t want this episode to simply be him telling outrageous epic stories, I wanted to get into the experiences and learn from him so we can all learn from him. So, we cover a bit of everything in this one.   I trust you will get something from this conversation.

This is a conversation from a few months ago - smack bang in the middle of one of 2020’s major global offerings - a look at race. Black Lives Matter exploded with fervour in the US after the police killing of George Floyd. A powder keg was ignited both in the US and in many places across the globe, leading to one giant and multifaceted conversation on race, racism, and how people of colour have been treated and marginalised in a lot of society. Here in Australia was no different, as protests amongst the confusion and government restrictions od COVID-19 took place, with the US topic of deaths in police custody also having roots here too. For me, the conversation is one that can’t be ignored, and the rhetoric of “It’s not enough to not be racist, one must be anti-racist” soon spread, which lead to my own deep reflection. It’s easy to stand back and say “I’m not racist” but what does that do to help change such deeply rooted systemic and casual racism? Nothing. I’m not a rapist either, but sitting on hands and hiding behind saying that does nothing to reduce assault when I can actually do something to heal more men and prevent them from becoming perpetrators. So, when this hit I knew I had to do something - and what can I do? Well, I can start with a conversation, I can use the platform I have to highlight the voices and experiences of people of colour.   Which led me instantly to reaching out to my good friend Nick Bradley-Qalilawa. I have had him on stage at a Beyond The Beers event before where we spoke about race, and he also shared some fascinating and captivating stories of growing up (in part) in Fiji.   In this Episode: In this conversation, Nick takes us into what it was like growing up in Australia the son of a Fijian father and a white European mother. He had different experiences both in his largely white family, but also a largely white society in which he somehow became exempt from being  "just another black fella”.   I learned a lot during this time in the global conversation on race. I listened to books, read pieces, watched videos, spoke to friends, and consumed content from many people of colour, Nick being one of them. I always learn from this man. I appreciate his insight and unique intelligence, and his generosity in sharing his experiences. Some of his stories in here, some of the things he shared that he’s still working to understand, really made me sit back and get a lot of pieces I hadn’t had fall into place yet when it comes to racism. I also had to sit back and reflect on where I have been an active participant in some of the same kinds of situations Nick discussed. I wanted to bring this to my podcast and publish it because it was not designed to be a popular topic conversation when everyone was walking about it. It was meant to make a dent and spurn more conversation. I hope that does this via this podcast. Because Nick sure is an Everyday Legend. I trust you will get something from this conversation.

Ahhhh, the friendzone. That lonely yet connected, comforting yet terrorising, familiar yet frustrating place. Of course, the friend zone isn’t the only place we might end up chasing unrequited love - sometimes it’s in a relationship that stutters and two people seem to be misaligned. Either way, finding ourselves in the place of wanting someone and them not wanting us back, or them being unavailable to us, can be heart-aching and life-consuming.   That’s the subject of this week's podcast episode in a revamped version of a listener Q&A. I have had tonnes of questions from guys in and around this area. Usually from ‘Nice Guys’ - guys that are so terrified of rejection, who so desperately need to be liked or their inner world will fall over, so they end up just playing the good nice guy in the hope that people will see them as this and like them.   These guys - of which I am a recovering Nice Guy myself - often end up in glorified friendships, essentially one-sided faux-relationships, with women/people they have feelings for because they were too unsure about themselves early on to say how they felt combined with an almost unbearable fear of rejection, that they just hover in the space of “If I am around enough and nice enough, maybe they’ll notice/like/love me.” (It doesn’t work).   Previously across three different #AskMike Q&A videos on my social media channels, I have addressed similar questions in this space. Today on the podcast I wanted to bring them together and dive a bit deeper on what’s playing out and what to do about it, how to get past that crippling and almost life-stoping focus on unavailable love.   I introduce the overall topic and then each individual video, before expanding on them all with some common themes and lessons for guys who are either in this right now in your life, or recognise that pattern totally unrelated to unrequited love, where you’re so narrow-focused on one thing that you can’t seem to focus on anything else even though you know you need to.   Mike’s Takeaways: I could talk about this all day. I’ve helped so many guys in situations like this, not just deep in the friendzone - of their own creation - but suffering of Nice Guyitis in all areas of life. The simplest advice - to quote Stifler from American Pie - is to “locate your balls, remove the shrink wrap” and have the conversation. But it’s much more than that. In all reality, the key is to focus on something else - in the case of unrequited love - what other love is possible for and available to you. Of course, this last part brings up something central to the Nice Guy that we touch on in the episode - ‘Well, I have to then believe there is more out there for me’   If this resonates and hits home, please tell me. If you are going to take action on the advice in here I would love to hear about it - share your messy action with me.

How to Build Mental Strength It’s November now - and for certain men, certain groups and organisations that means one thing (among many) - MOvember. Which really brings to the conversation the idea of men growing moustaches in support of men’s health; more specifically testicular cancer, prostate cancer and suicide in men. Of course, Movember isn’t the only charity or organisation dealing with men’s mental health, in fact, I am a board member of one called The MENtour. Our mission is very much about raising men’s emotional literacy. And that’s ultimately what I wanted to (and did) cover in this episode: What is men’s mental health and why do we struggle with it so much? Here’s the big glaring statistic on this issue: roughly 75% of all suicides are men. In Australia is essentially 6 a day out of 8 across the nation. And these stats generally carry over in the majority of the western world. We can look at solutions to dealing with the risk, we have countless awareness campaigns - growing moustaches being a very obvious and highly effective one - and we have more and more, what I call, crisis point options and organisations dealing with men at the brink. But this like so many aspects of being a man, is reactive - it’s waiting until the shit has hit the fan and trying to clean it up, instead of preventing the shit from getting in the vicinity of the fan, to begin with.   That’s what we cover in this podcast - how men can be proactive with their mental and emotional wellbeing - how they can build emotional literacy. We explore how this even happens - why a lot of men not only fear exploring their emotions but what happens when something hasn’t been used for so long - it atrophies. And we then look at what else comes into this picture, such as building genuine resilience and overall mental strength, including the ability to simply talk through shit that needs to be talked through. This is both a perspective on how we view and approach men’s mental health and emotional wellbeing, and some ideas and tangible actions you can implement in your own life today.

The Art of Authenticity & Overcoming Laziness Dr Jeremy Goldberg is a wonderfully unique and wholly interesting and refreshing human. This episode represented one of many ways a conversation between us could have gone. A self-confessed ‘Recovering Scientist” - Jeremy spent years working on not only preventing Climate Change, but how we actually change people’s behaviours in order for that to happen on large scale. He has an immense love for the planet, and for life. And that is evident even in 5 minutes in his company. In this episode, we start there, on his history in studying behaviour change, and we wander into how this has then impacted his own life in changing some old behaviours, and the beliefs underlying them, that haven't served him so well in the past. We explore his own experience with codependency and how one of his biggest areas of growth has been in relationships and stepping away from trying to fix his partner's feelings because it was the only mode he knew. That and it helped negate his own discomfort in more awkward feelings.  With that part alone there is a lot for you to take away from this episode. We also explore how this then has become one of his core ways of being - doing hard shit. And how even this isn’t about some noble way of being better and winning personal development, but simply because he’s lazy. Just some of the realness that Jeremy brings to literally anything he does. It’s always refreshing and fun to speak with him, and I hope you’ll get that from this conversation too. Be sure to share this with a man you think could benefit from it and enjoy Jeremy take on things. Let me know you’re listening to is - tag me on social media - and if you haven’t yet, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts - it can take you two minutes but help me massively to get this in front of more men who may just resonate with something that facilitates monumental (or small) change in his life.   Mike’s main lessons/takeaways: Jeremy’s zest for life is infectious. I literally think fo his every time I see wildlife (follow him on social media to make more sense of that). He brings his unique, light, engaging, and down to earth style to everything he does, including this episode. Beyond the actual content we cover, I think the takeaway for me is in how Jeremy chooses to relentlessly, and lazily, live his own life.   Contact Info for Jeremy Website: http://longdistancelovebombs.com/ ‘Do Hard Shit’ program Instagram: @longdistancelovebombs  Podcast: https://anchor.fm/longdistancelovebombs   ‘Other Ways To Consume this podcast’  iTunes Spotify YouTube (coming soon) Transcript (coming soon)   Get Involved: Subscribe to podcast on Apple Follow on Spotify Sign up for Mike’s LEGENDAILY Texts to help you with a daily shot of loving straight talk direct to your pocket Explore Mike’s Better Partner Project 4 week Accelerator Course in Relationships for Men

How to live with Integrity In this episode, I venture into and explore something very close to my heart - and head and balls - and that is: INTEGRITY. It is my highest values, because, for me, everything else is determined by this. If I don’t have that, then all my other values don’t really get a chance. Join me as I share some personal stories - including the first one in which as a younger man I fell into a common trap; lying to someone a liked and pulling myself right out of integrity in doing so. I take you through what integrity actually is, how to assess it, and how to understand it on a deeper level so that if we fall out of it we can navigate our way back in. I visit a story about a time my now father-in-law hit me with a daunting question in front of his (Nardia’s) family, well before I was even close to being a permanent fixture; “What are your intentions with our Nardia?” * GULP* Tune in to see how I handled this. Quite fucking excellently, I might add. I call on this story often in teaching about integrity because regardless of the answer I shared, what the key point sticks to is - can I be honest here regardless of what that honesty entails? I venture into some of the nature of men and the masculine in how we have this need to test each other, and essentially what we’re doing is testing the strength, the dependability of those men we go into battle (hunt) with. If you’re a man struggling to understand yourself, wanting to work out what that niggling little feeling inside of you is, or simply wanting to access what’s possible for you, it starts and stops with INTEGRITY - this episode is for you.

Darth Vader, Geordi La Forge, Tony Stark have in common? Wearables: the subject of today's podcast. Wearables refer to wearable technology. Like the Smarthome industry, it weaves technology into everyday life to make things easier. The main functionality we see today is related to quantified self. If you aren’t familiar with the quantified-self movement, it is a way for us to incorporate technology into the collection of data. Like physical activity, sleep patterns, heart rate, etc. They come in various forms. watches, wristbands, and of course Google glass.The most popular wearable being talked about these days is the Apple Watch. Features mentioned in the Apple Keynote include messaging and calling, communication with Siri , fitness tracking, and Apple Pay. Which I am excited about. Other popular wearable brands include the Nike Fuel Band, Jawbone Up, Fitbit Flex, and Google glass.ABI research predicts that 90 million wearable devices will be sold in 2014. Big brands are definitely on this bandwagon and so are startups.When it comes to perception, I’m sure there are many people who think wearables aren’t overwhelmingly beneficial, but I think they are useful in the same way that smartphones are. Just in a different form. I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss them because the way some of us always have our phones, it might as well be an additional limb. The beginning of this industry may seem clunky at times but these things will most likely be one of the keys to help us live longer.There are so many directions they can go. Can you imagine, I don’t know, a toe ring that…automatically dispense insulin to the when the body has an allergic reaction…or earrings that give you your daily dose of vitamin C. You know? Marrying science and technology just expedites this self care marathon that we call life. I’m looking forward to seeing the world post Apple Watch.
