In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, I sit down with Thomas "TJ" Baird — a 32-year Army veteran with 20 deployments — to talk about the real battle that followed the battlefield. TJ shares what it was like growing up with a father who was frequently deployed, only to find himself repeating that same pattern with his own daughter. But this isn't just a military story — it's a fatherhood story. It's about PTSD, pride, brotherhood, humility, and the moment a man decides he's done living in the dark. TJ opens up about the night he realized he needed help, the ultimatum that changed everything, and the internal war between staying stuck and choosing the path toward peace. If you've ever struggled in silence or felt the weight of your past shaping your present, this episode will hit home. Timeline Summary [0:00] The image that defines the episode — destruction on one side, sunrise on the other [2:10] 32 years of service and 20 deployments across the globe [9:20] Realizing he was becoming the father he once resented [24:17] His daughter telling him at age six, "Dad, you're too scary" [26:28] Writing Warrior Dad as a tribute to his daughter [35:07] The battlefield moment — seeing war to the west and sunlight to the east [42:12] Why most men stay stuck instead of choosing growth [47:38] The turning point — giving himself permission to get help [50:40] Walking into behavioral health as a senior enlisted leader [52:06] Leading by example so younger soldiers wouldn't suffer in silence Five Key Takeaways You can unknowingly repeat the very patterns you once resented. There is always a path toward peace — but you have to choose it. Growth requires surrendering ego and asking for help. Brotherhood and accountability accelerate healing. Your family is waiting at the finish line — not your career.

Almost 100 years since the founding of the Moslem Brotherhood, it remains one of the most influential Islamist movements in the Middle East, and one of the most dangerous in the world. Several Arab countries have banned the Brotherhood, yet they remain an existential threat. Most recently the US has banned three of its chapters, but much more needs to be done. Qatar and Turkey, two countries that have not only NOT banned the Brotherhood, but which are state outposts whose leaders and institutions embrace its ideology have not been banned. How and why does this matter? How has the Moslem Brotherhood penetrated the Middle East, and even the West? Where are the biggest threats? What can be done to remedy this?

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
In this Q&A episode, Uncle Joe and I dive into one of the most common—and misunderstood—struggles in marriage: emotional connection. We respond to a powerful question from Alex, a husband who genuinely wants to show up better for his wife but feels stuck, unsure how to respond to her emotions, and frustrated that his efforts don't seem to land. This conversation breaks down why men default to "fix-it mode," why that instinct actually creates disconnection, and how emotional safety—not solutions—is what most women are truly seeking. We unpack practical, real-world skills for listening, validating, and reconnecting with your wife, especially after years of habit and complacency. If your wife has ever said, "I don't feel connected to you," this episode will give you clarity, direction, and a better way forward. Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction [1:02] Opening conversation about Valentine's Day and intentional connection [2:55] Alex's question about building emotional connection with his wife [4:10] Hearing hard feedback: "I don't feel connected or loved" [5:14] How long-term habits quietly shape marriage dynamics [6:03] Why men feel uncomfortable with big emotions [7:12] The difference between fixing problems and creating connection [8:10] Why women share emotions—to feel seen, not saved [9:00] Transactional conversations vs. emotional safety [10:14] Joe explains why feedback is actually a gift [10:59] Pebbles vs. boulders and minimizing your wife's feelings [11:56] Why "it's not a big deal" damages trust [12:17] Understanding how your wife feels loved [13:19] Acts of service and practical ways to reduce her stress [14:11] Real-life example of how small actions rebuild connection [15:19] Curiosity as the foundation of emotional intimacy [16:46] Leading with humility and listening through awkward silence [17:31] Treating your wife like you did when you first dated [19:02] Complacency as the silent killer of attraction [20:13] Why long-term relationships require intentional effort [21:09] Being challenged as an act of love [22:11] Brotherhood, faith, and the mission of the Dad Edge Alliance [23:08] Invitation to the Dad Edge Alliance preview call [23:47] Closing encouragement and next steps Five Key Takeaways Emotional connection is built through presence, not problem-solving. Fixing minimizes feelings—listening creates safety. What feels small to you may feel huge to your wife. Curiosity and humility rebuild intimacy faster than tactics. Treating your wife like you did in the beginning keeps the relationship alive.

In this episode, Bryant Browning and Chimdi Chekwa break down the recent success of Ohio State football with longtime Buckeyes beat writer and author Bill Rabinowitz, discussing insights from his book Buckeye Brotherhood. The conversation explores the writing process behind the book, comparisons between Ohio State championship teams, and how leadership and team culture have shaped the Buckeyes' sustained dominance. The episode also dives into the changing landscape of college football, including the impact of the transfer portal, Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rules, and what those changes mean for roster building and player development. Rabinowitz shares his perspective on quarterback development at Ohio State, expectations for the upcoming Buckeyes season, and how the program is adapting to the future of the sport. Takeaways The book 'Buckeye Brotherhood' focuses on personal stories behind the 2024 national championship team. Bill Rabinowitz had to conduct interviews and write the book in a tight timeframe. The 2014 championship team had low expectations, while the 2024 team faced high pressure. Leadership meetings after the Michigan game were pivotal for team unity. Ryan Day's future as a coach is tied to maintaining stability within the program. The transfer portal has created chaos in college football, affecting team rosters. Ohio State's approach to recruiting is changing due to NIL and transfer dynamics. Julian Sayin's development as a quarterback is crucial for the team's success. The upcoming season will be challenging with tough opponents on the schedule. Expectations for Ohio State remain high, with pressure to win another national championship.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton explore a dynamic many first responders quietly live with but rarely name: feeling safer, more understood, and more emotionally regulated with your partners on the job than with the people waiting for you at home (Amazon Affiliate). At work, trust is built through shared danger, clear roles, and life-or-death reliance. At home, connection requires vulnerability, emotional availability, and uncertainty—things the nervous system of a responder often flags as risk rather than safety. This episode unpacks why the bond with a patrol partner, crew, or unit can start to feel more secure than your marriage or family relationships—and what it costs when operational trust replaces emotional intimacy.
BoD MC Confronts ICE — Media, Culture, & ControversyToday on Black Dragon Biker TV, we're covering a wide mix of stories that touch on confrontation, culture, history, and the ever-changing biker media landscape. Brotherhood of Distinction (BoD) MC appears to have confronted ICE, sparking conversation about boundaries, authority, and how biker clubs interact with law enforcement agencies. We'll talk about what's being reported and why incidents like this draw attention.
#208 - A helicopter door swung open over Vietnam, and years later a trail opened underfoot across the Appalachians. That arc—war to wilderness, adrenaline to stillness—frames Ron Timmerman's rare story of brotherhood, love, loss, and the long work of healing. We invited Ron to unpack the moments that shaped him: flying Hueys as a teenage door gunner, returning with unspoken trauma, and building a life with Edie, a fierce and generous mother of seven whose faith defined their home.Ron's voice is steady as he talks about caregiving through Edie's stroke, the quiet after she passed, and the decision to hike the Appalachian Trail with his brother Rand and stepson Rick. They disagreed, found a structure that respected different paces, and in the process became closer than they'd been in decades. Along the way, the trail offered proof that meaning can arrive unannounced—a brilliant doorway of light on a bleak Father's Day, the sudden drift of “Can't Help Falling in Love” from a stranger's earbuds, and countless small moments of service that stitched the miles together.What stands out is the ethic that carried Ron through: stay busy with purpose, help others when you can, and keep faith when the map goes dark. He shares practical wisdom for navigating grief, the value of simple kindness on and off the trail, and the way Rand turned his own recovery into daily service for people who needed a voice on the line. If you're wrestling with loss, searching for direction, or simply craving a human story that rings true, this conversation offers both grit and grace in equal measure.Subscribe for more stories of resilience and connection, share this episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find The Human Adventure.

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset Does Being in a Relationship Actually Fix Porn Addiction? Many men believe that once they're in a relationship—or once they have regular access to sex—their porn problem will disappear. In this powerful Q&A episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank and Coach Arnold dismantle that belief and expose the deeper truth: relationships don't fix porn addiction—they magnify what's already unresolved. Whether you're single, dating, married, or somewhere in between, this conversation challenges deeply ingrained assumptions about sex, intimacy, self-mastery, and masculine responsibility. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why getting into a relationship does NOT cure porn addiction How porn has nothing to do with sexual desire—and everything to do with emotional regulation Why many men confuse porn, sex, and intimacy (and how that confusion keeps them stuck) The danger of replacing porn with casual sex instead of true healing Why intentional singleness can be one of the most powerful growth seasons in a man's life How porn distorts your perception of yourself, women, and reality The truth about sexual energy, creative transmutation, and God's design for creation Why suppression makes urges worse—and what to do instead How to stop living in comparison and victim mentality ("it would be easier if…") Why mastery of self makes you far more attractive than access to sex ever will About The Rebuilt Man Podcast The Rebuilt Man Podcast helps men break free from porn, rebuild identity, and step into disciplined, purpose-driven leadership.

In this episode of the Man Within Podcast, Sathiya Sam reflects on his ten-year journey of freedom from pornography, sharing ten hard-earned lessons that he wishes he had understood sooner. He emphasizes that willpower is overrated and that true freedom is built before temptation arises. Sathiya discusses how pornography was merely a symptom of deeper issues, highlighting the importance of addressing root causes rather than just the behavior itself. He also stresses that spiritual disciplines alone are not sufficient for recovery; they must be complemented by practical systems and skills. Throughout the episode, he shares insights on the significance of community, accountability, and the need for a stable environment to foster long-term recovery.
Most men in sexless marriages did exactly what they were told to do.They opened up more.They communicated better.They became more emotionally available.They went to therapy.And somehow, the sex life didn't come back.In many cases, it disappeared completely.In this episode, I explain why that happens — especially when you're married to a dismissive-avoidant partner.We'll talk about:Why “more emotional connection” can actually create less attractionHow anxious and avoidant attachment styles quietly kill desireWhy many men work on themselves and then realize the relationship itself isn't healthyWhy dismissive-avoidant partners often resist getting helpAnd why effort and effectiveness are not the same thing in long-term relationshipsThis isn't about blaming women.It's about understanding dynamics most men were never taught — and why doing everything “right” can still lead to a sexless marriage.If you're confused, frustrated, or starting to question your relationship, this conversation will likely hit close to home.

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset In this powerful I Am Rebuilt episode of the The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich sits down with former student Larry Fuentes to share one of the longest and most profound transformation stories ever featured on the show. At the time of recording, Larry has been over 16 months free from porn, after struggling with porn addiction, compulsive behaviors, and identity confusion for nearly two decades. This is not a story about willpower or quick fixes. This is a story about identity change, radical responsibility, faith, and rebuilding life from the inside out. Episode Summary Before joining The Rebuilt Man in October 2024, Larry was trapped in a recurring cycle of relapse that escalated beyond porn and into dangerous real-world behaviors. Years of addiction had stripped away his self-worth, distorted how he saw himself and others, and left him without direction or purpose. Although he had tried multiple recovery paths in the past, including 12-step programs, Larry realized something critical during this journey: his addiction wasn't the real problem, it was a symptom of a deeper identity issue. Inside The Rebuilt Man, Larry was challenged to stop reinforcing an "addict identity" and begin building a new one. Through structured discipline, community accountability, faith, and daily identity-based action, everything began to change. As Larry surrendered fully to the process and the brotherhood, he began facing old resentments, taking ownership of his past, rebuilding self-respect, and learning how to live with courage instead of avoidance. Today, Larry describes his life as finally beginning. With clarity, purpose, and confidence restored, he's pursuing meaningful passions, building healthy relationships, and stepping into a future he once believed was impossible. His message to the man still struggling is clear: Freedom is possible… but it requires effort, honesty, risk, and a willingness to rebuild your life. What You'll Learn in This Episode How porn addiction often escalates beyond the screen when left unaddressed Why identifying as an "addict" can keep men stuck in the cycle The power of identity-based transformation vs. behavior control How discipline, discomfort, and structure rebuild self-trust Why porn is often a symptom of deeper emotional and spiritual wounds The role of brotherhood, accountability, and faith in lasting freedom What life actually looks like on the other side of porn addiction Key Takeaway Porn addiction isn't the core problem—it's a signal. When a man rebuilds his identity, his habits follow. Larry Fuentes' story is proof that no matter how long the struggle has lasted, real freedom and a meaningful life are possible.

Join Jennie and Dianne this week as they "ride the rails" with the Pullman Porters, unsung heroes of American history! These men overcame unimaginable prejudice and racism; from being called "George" by passengers, regardless of their name, to working 400+ hours a month with little time off, their struggles were real. Yet, they persevered, forming the first all-Black labor union, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and paving the way for the Civil Rights Movement. Their legacy extends far beyond the railroad, influencing leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and shaping the course of American history.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
In this live Q&A episode, Uncle Joe and I tackle some of the heaviest—and most common—situations men face inside marriage: supporting a wife through serious mental health challenges, staying grounded when divorce is still on the table, and learning how to lead with consistency instead of panic. We respond to real questions from men inside the Dad Edge Alliance who are walking through postpartum depression, PMDD, emotional volatility, and marital uncertainty. This conversation is about becoming an advocate instead of a victim, choosing consistency over crisis-mode behavior, and learning how to lead yourself well—regardless of whether your marriage outcome is guaranteed. If you're in a season where hope feels thin and the work feels exhausting, this episode will remind you what leadership actually looks like when things are hard. Timeline Summary [000] Opening reflections on fatherhood, sleepless nights, and perspective [3:18] Setting expectations for live Q&A and imperfect conversations [4:41] Corey's question: supporting a wife with postpartum depression and PMDD [6:19] Understanding PMDD as a hormonal sensitivity disorder [8:33] Why mood shifts are not character flaws or choices [9:58] Becoming an advocate instead of minimizing mental health struggles [11:05] Practical leadership: nutrition, structure, and reducing stress [12:25] Why a man's emotional and spiritual health matters most in crisis [13:10] Research on spiritual disciplines and emotional regulation [14:11] Becoming a "merchant of hope" in your household [15:00] Why men must take care of their inner world first [16:02] Corey shares his early experience inside the Dad Edge Alliance [17:02] Playing the long game and resisting discouragement [18:07] Using brotherhood instead of isolation [18:48] Announcement: Dad Edge Alliance preview call [20:15] Where to find episode resources and symptom notes [21:05] Second question: staying consistent while divorce is still mentioned [24:56] Identifying behaviors that contributed to marital breakdown [26:04] Why wives wait to see if change is real [27:16] Consistency as a non-negotiable value [28:46] Doing the work regardless of outcome [31:01] Why self-led change benefits you no matter what [32:24] Showing up as a grounded, playful, present father [33:37] Why it often gets worse before it gets better Five Key Takeaways Mental health struggles are not character flaws, and leadership starts with education and empathy. Consistency builds trust, especially when a spouse is waiting for the "other shoe to drop." Men must do the work for themselves first, not as a strategy to save a marriage. Hope is contagious, but only if the man leading the home is grounded and regulated. Brotherhood prevents isolation, especially when marriage feels uncertain.

He highlights the importance of community support and the role it played in his healing process, ultimately leading him to help others facing similar struggles.

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset Gratitude Is Not Soft — It's a Weapon for Freedom Most men think porn is their biggest problem. It's not. The real battle is happening in your emotional state, long before temptation ever shows up. In this episode, Coach Frank Rich breaks down why gratitude is one of the most overlooked — yet powerful — tools for rewiring your brain, strengthening discipline, and reclaiming control over your thoughts, emotions, and habits. This is not feel-good motivation. This is neuroscience, identity, and faith in action. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why relapse usually starts with stress and emotional drift — not lust How gratitude activates the part of the brain responsible for discipline and impulse control The connection between gratitude, dopamine, and nervous system regulation Why porn thrives in anxiety, resentment, and numbness How gratitude reshapes beliefs and reinforces a stronger identity The biblical foundation for renewing the mind through gratitude A simple daily gratitude practice that actually rewires your brain Why spoken declarations matter more than silent thoughts Key Takeaways: Gratitude is not weakness — it's leadership You don't relapse because you're broken, but because your nervous system is dysregulated What you focus on consistently becomes your identity Gratitude trains your brain to look for strength instead of lack A grateful man is grounded — and a grounded man is harder to tempt
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”A quiet awakening is spreading among young men who were raised on screens, shaped by porn, and numbed by AI simulations. We've watched them navigate a world where fake often passes for real and language tries to make the unthinkable sound humane. When a viral doorstep exchange exposes the gap between “abortion is health care” and the instinctive horror at “aborting puppies,” the mask slips—and a more urgent question surfaces: what is true, and how do we live by it?We open up the cultural pressures squeezing Gen Z men—early exposure to hardcore porn, deep fakes that blur reality, and school ideologies that promise liberation but seed confusion. From there, we introduce Claymore, a Catholic discipleship movement designed to meet this hunger with purpose, structure, and brotherhood. Instead of vague spirituality, we offer a concrete path: daily prayer and the sacraments, a yearlong handbook of 52 short acts, accountability with real friends, a domestic church at home, and public witness that stands steady without rage. This formation heals the heart first, then renews marriages and families, and finally strengthens community and nation.Along the way, we map the battlefield clearly: the person is attacked, the family is weakened, and culture frays. The counterstrategy is just as clear—start with the heart, form a man in truth, and send him to love with courage. If you're tired of noise and hungry for a life that means something, you'll find a plan here you can actually live. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to help more men discover a way back to reality, responsibility, and joy.Download the Claymore Battle Plan!

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset For decades, the porn industry has sold men a lie. A lie of freedom. A lie of self-expression. A lie that promised pleasure—but delivered dependence. In this episode, Coach Frank Rich pulls the curtain back on the porn industry and exposes how it was built, how it manipulates the male brain, and why so many men feel trapped in a cycle they don't understand. This isn't about shame. This isn't about morality. This is about truth, clarity, and taking your power back. In this episode, you'll learn: How porn evolved from taboo content into a global, data-driven industry The psychological and neurological tactics used to keep men hooked Why porn trains the brain to crave novelty over real connection The hidden human cost behind the screen that's rarely talked about Why "sexual freedom" is the most dangerous lie the industry sells How awareness is the first step to real, lasting freedom If you've ever wondered why you keep going back—even when you hate it—this episode will give you clarity most men never get. And once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Recorded live at Expert Networking Night, Jimmy sits down with Dr. Nick Howland to discuss his new memoir, The Atheist's Prayer: A Memoir of Gratitude. Nick shares his story of growing up in the LDS faith, serving a mission, being excommunicated twice, losing his identity, and ultimately walking away from belief altogether.What followed was years of anger, depression, shame, and a deep search for meaning that eventually led him back to something unexpected: self-love.This conversation isn't about attacking religion or defending atheism. It's about what happens when the systems you relied on to define your worth fall apart, and you're forced to rebuild from the ground up.Nick talks openly about divorce, suicidal thoughts, depression, therapy, men's work, brotherhood, and the daily practices that helped him learn how to keep promises to himself.They discuss why self-love can't be outsourced to religion, relationships, or self-help, how integrity is built one decision at a time, and why healing requires honesty, support, and personal responsibility. This is a raw, vulnerable conversation about shame, growth, and becoming someone you respect.
Midlife doesn't ruin men.Avoidance does.In this episode of the ALLSMITH Podcast, Bryce Smith sits down with Greg Scheinman for a raw, grounded, and unapologetic conversation about ownership, responsibility, and what really happens when the stories you have been telling yourself stop working.This is not a conversation about blaming systems, circumstances, or childhood forever.It is about the moment in life where the mirror gets honest.Greg and Bryce explore why midlife is not a crisis but a reckoning.Why comfort has quietly replaced courage for so many modern men.And why taking radical ownership of your health, your energy, your relationships, and your direction may be the most important decision of your life.They talk masculinity without cosplay.Discipline without shame.Strength without ego.And growth without burning your life to the ground.If you feel successful on paper but restless in your body.If you sense you are drifting instead of choosing.If you know deep down that excuses are costing you more than effort ever will.This episode is for you.The forge is hot.And ownership is the entry point.⸻WHAT WE EXPLORE IN THIS EPISODE• Why midlife exposes the truth about how you have been living• The difference between accountability and self punishment• How comfort slowly erodes strength, presence, and leadership• Why most men are exhausted but not actually empty• Health as a responsibility, not an aesthetic• Masculinity beyond anger, dominance, or collapse• Brotherhood, isolation, and the cost of doing life alone• Why waiting for motivation keeps men stuck• Redefining success beyond money and optics• How ownership unlocks energy, clarity, and freedom⸻STANDOUT QUOTES“You do not wake up lost. You drift there quietly.”“Midlife does not demand perfection. It demands honesty.”“Comfort is not neutral. It is either serving you or slowly stealing from you.”“Most men do not need a new life. They need to stop avoiding the one they are in.”“Ownership is not about blame. It is about power.”“You cannot build a strong future while protecting weak stories.”“Discipline is not punishment. It is self respect in motion.”“Your body tells the truth long before your words do.”“The middle of life is not the end. It is the forge.”⸻KEY TAKEAWAYSOwnership is freedomBlame keeps you stuck. Ownership gives you options, energy, and direction.Midlife is feedbackYour health, relationships, and fulfillment are reporting back on how you have lived.Comfort is costlyShort term ease often trades away long term vitality and presence.Strength is a responsibilityNot for ego. Not for image. For leadership, longevity, and service.You cannot outsource meaningNo amount of success compensates for disconnection from self.Brotherhood mattersIsolation accelerates decline. Honest connection builds resilience.⸻WHO THIS EPISODE IS FORMen who feel restless but cannot name whyMen who are successful but disconnectedMen ready to stop negotiating with excusesMen who want strength without toxicityMen who want ownership without shame⸻Greg Scheinman on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/gregscheinmanForged Not found.Thank you for Listening!
