Podcasts about Masculinity

In today’s episode, Ken Harrison, author, speaker, CEO of WaterStone, and Chairman of Promise Keepers, joins Dr. Zach to cast a compelling vision for biblical manhood. In a generation confused about masculinity, Ken calls men back to strength, responsibility, humility, and mission. This episode is a rallying cry for men who want to live with clarity and conviction. Ken expands on the idea that men are called to be “servant kings” which are leaders who protect, serve, and sacrifice like Christ. He discusses the crisis of masculinity and fatherlessness in today’s culture, how men can lead with integrity without drifting into authoritarianism, the necessity of friendships and accountability, and the spiritual disciplines that keep a man grounded in his God-given identity and purpose.

I know you've felt like, in the past, you've been hesitant to share your true feelings and beliefs. Maybe you didn't want to offend that woman you were pursuing. Or, maybe you didn't want to upset your boss and run the risk of losing your job. Or, maybe you were afraid of what society or social media would say if you shared your true thoughts. My guest today, Father Stephen Gadberry, is familiar with all of that in a way that many of us relate with. As a Catholic priest, US Air Force Veteran, and American Ninja Warrior competitor, he knows how compelling public criticism can become. Today, Father Gadberry and I talk about discipline, what "turning the other cheek," really means, how to handle false accusations, what true accountability actually means, the difference between your "vocation," and "occupation," and how God will speak to all of us.

CannCon, Alpha Warrior, and Cam Cooksey dive into a lively mix of dad life, masculine identity, and the everyday battles no one warns men about, from the psychological warfare of household clutter to the strange new expectations placed on modern fathers. The trio joke about holiday chaos, shared parenting struggles, and “gifts you buy your wife that she already owns,” before shifting into deeper territory on marriage dynamics, leadership in the home, and how social media has warped both male and female expectations. They contrast old-school discipline with today's gentle-parenting trends, unpack why so many men feel disconnected from their purpose, and debate whether society actually wants strong fathers at all. With humor, honesty, and plenty of accidental wisdom, Episode 60 blends real-world stories with cultural critique, offering a raw and relatable look at what it takes to be a grounded man in a distracted world.

Something is ending. You can feel it before you can explain it. The familiar world is dissolving, and what is rising to replace it is not human in spirit. It has no face, no voice, only an algorithm waiting to instruct the public imagination. Tonight we open Season 18 of Veritas, and Neil Kramer returns at the moment when clarity is needed most. Neil never appears during quiet chapters. He arrives when the atmosphere tightens, when the horizon shifts, when people sense a deeper truth moving beneath the noise. And right now, the air is very thin. Across the Western world, meaning itself is slipping away. Europe faces a demographic crisis that sits beside migration pressures, cultural destabilization, and a loss of continuity that leadership refuses to confront. Birth rates have collapsed across the developed world, revealing more than a social problem. They reveal a civilization that no longer believes in its own future. Christianity has fragmented, leaving millions spiritually unanchored. Into that vacuum, Islam expands with population strength and cultural confidence. America drifts in its own struggle, torn between moments of awakening and waves of confusion. Few people recognize the tension between culture, religion, and the importation of value systems that do not share the same moral inheritance. While this unfolds, technocracy advances with steady precision. Digital identity systems. New legislative frameworks like the Algorithmic Accountability Act. Behavioral shaping. And a censorship structure that does not silence through force, but through correction, filtering, and engineered agreement. Traditional governance is weakening while algorithmic governance grows stronger. Perception is managed. Masculinity and sovereignty are discouraged. Higher thought is replaced with performative compliance. And Agenda 2030 extends through institutions as a philosophy of how human beings should live and obey. In a climate like this, truth-telling has become a countercultural act. The real question is how to remain spiritually upright in a world shaped by intentional confusion. How to keep agency, clarity, and inner strength as the old structures fall away. Tonight we go directly into that territory. No filters. No evasion.

A clear explanation of the crisis of masculinity, why modern men feel lost, and how to reclaim strength, identity, and purpose using principles of emotional strength, male identity, and the warrior mindset. The Crisis You Can No Longer Ignore You've felt it, even if you haven't said it out loud. Something in today's world has men drifting—uncertain, disconnected, and quietly frustrated. You're not broken; you're living in a time where the traditional markers of masculinity have blurred, collapsed, or been mocked into confusion. What you're experiencing has a name: the crisis of masculinity. Let's cut the fluff: this isn't about politics. This isn't about blaming culture. This is about you—how you show up, how you lead, how you navigate your inner world, and how you reclaim the parts of yourself that modern life has sedated. So today, we're going to walk through what's happening, why it hits you so deeply, and what it actually takes to rebuild yourself from the inside out. The Three Core Drives You've Forgotten Every man carries three ancient impulses—three internal compasses that once gave direction, meaning, and grounded identity. But today, these drives have been hijacked, substituted, or numbed. A Battle to Fight You crave challenge—not endless stress, but meaningful struggle that sharpens your mind, strengthens your resolve, and reminds you of what you’re capable of. Without a battle, you drift. Without a direction, you weaken. And when you ignore this drive, life becomes a loop of avoidance instead of agency, leaving you stuck in patterns that quietly drain your confidence. An Adventure to Live You need experience, novelty, and the feeling of being alive in a world that tries to keep you comfortable, passive, and predictable. Not artificial dopamine. Not scrolling. Real movement. Real uncertainty. Real growth that forces you to expand who you are becoming. A Beauty to Pursue Not just women, but connection, intimacy, partnership, resonance, and the deep emotional nourishment that comes from healthy polarity. The feminine energy that sharpens your masculine edge and deepens your emotional strength, giving your life richness, meaning, and soulful direction. When you deny these three instincts, you don't become “peaceful”—you become restless, disconnected, and quietly resentful of a life that no longer feels like your own. The Four Lies That Hijack Modern Men Modern culture sells men replacements for the real work. And most guys take the bait. Lie 1: Sex Defines You Sex feels good, sure—but it can't ground you, mature you, or build your identity in any meaningful, sustainable, or internally driven way. When men use sex as validation, they lose themselves and drift further from genuine self-worth. Lie 2: Power Makes You a Man Power is a tool—not a foundation. Power without purpose collapses quickly and corrodes your inner stability. Ask any man who “made it” but still feels empty, disconnected, and unsure about who he really is. Lie 3: Money Creates Meaning Money expands life, but it doesn't define life or give you the inner direction you're starving for. If you chase money without meaning, you become wealthy in resources and bankrupt in identity, clarity, and emotional anchoring. Lie 4: Men Don't Feel This lie is killing men from the inside out. Emotional suppression leads to emotional implosion and long-term psychological collapse. Emotional strength isn't about denying emotions—it's about mastering them and directing their energy with intention. What's Actually Happening to You You're not simply “unmotivated.” You're not “lazy.” You're not “falling behind.” You're experiencing the crisis of masculinity because: You were never initiated into modern manhood, leaving you without guidance, structure, or meaningful masculine direction. Your natural masculine drives were never explained, only shamed and misunderstood, creating confusion about your inner motivations. You were taught to perform, not to align, forcing you into roles that never matched your authentic identity or purpose. You learned how to produce, not how to lead yourself with clarity, confidence, emotional strength, and grounded self-awareness. In other words… You were told how to act like a man, but no one showed you how to become one. A Metaphorical Wake-Up Call Imagine a warrior who forgets what his sword is for. He carries it every day, but never trains with it. Never sharpens it. Never uses it with intention. Slowly, he starts treating it like a burden—something heavy, inconvenient, unnecessary. That's what's happening to modern men. Your inner weapons—strength, purpose, courage, discipline, emotional clarity—have been sitting idle. Not because you're weak, but because the world taught you to dull them. It's time to sharpen them again. When you reclaim these inner weapons, you begin remembering who you are beneath the noise—steady, capable, powerful, and fully responsible for the life you're creating each day. Reclaiming Yourself Begins Here Let's step into the coaching room. Step 1: Identify What's Been Numbing You You can't reclaim your identity if you're still sedated by distraction. What's numbing you? Overwork? Porn? Dopamine loops? Netflix fatigue? Emotional avoidance? Before reclaiming your life, you must reclaim your attention, because your focus determines the strength of your identity and the direction of your masculine energy. Step 2: Rebuild Your Internal Framework You need a structure—your structure. Not society's expectations. Not your family's scripts. Your framework must include: Emotional strength Personal agency Male identity development Warrior mindset principles This is the difference between reacting and leading, and it gives you the internal architecture required to make choices from clarity instead of pressure or confusion. Step 3: Reignite the Three Drives Bring back: A battle worth fighting An adventure worth living A beauty worth pursuing When these are active, you stop drifting and start leading, because these instincts anchor your purpose, fuel your passion, and reconnect you to the deeper masculine current you've forgotten. Step 4: Define Your Values and Standards Masculinity isn't defined by external performance—it's defined by internal alignment. Ask yourself: What do I stand for? What do I refuse to tolerate? What is my personal code? Who do I become when life tests me? Your values shape your identity. Your identity shapes your destiny, and your destiny expands when your standards rise and your actions finally match the man you know you're meant to become. The Conscious Warrior Path This is the work—moving from confusion to clarity, from drift to direction, from collapse to power, and from the numbness of survival into the grounded fire of intentional living. You reclaim masculinity by reclaiming yourself, rediscovering the strength you abandoned, and stepping back into the authority you unconsciously gave away. Not by becoming louder. Not by adopting a persona. Not by playing a stereotype. But by aligning your mind, body, emotions, and purpose in a way that restores your inner integrity and reconnects you to the man you were always meant to be. That's the Conscious Warrior—a man who chooses truth over comfort, alignment over approval, and identity over imitation. The Four Archetypes That Restore Masculine Wholeness To fully resolve the crisis of masculinity, you need a framework that brings structure back into your identity. That framework is the Warrior–King–Lover–Magician system — four archetypes that create balance, power, and psychological strength. Here's how each one becomes part of your rebuilding process: The Warrior: Direction, Discipline, and Courage This is the part of you that takes action — the decisive force that stops drifting and starts choosing. The Warrior gives you: Boldness in the face of resistance, even when fear, pressure, or uncertainty try to shut you down and pull you off your path. The ability to protect your values and stand firm when others challenge your boundaries or question your direction. Discipline when your emotions want a shortcut, allowing you to stay consistent when motivation naturally fades away. Relentless forward movement that refuses stagnation and teaches you to generate momentum through intentional effort. Without the Warrior, you hesitate and collapse inward. With the Warrior, you execute with purpose and rise with strength. The King: Order, Purpose, and Identity The King is the archetype that organizes your life around meaning. It gives you: A grounded center that stabilizes your decisions and keeps you from being swayed by chaos or external expectations. A clear personal code that guides your behavior, choices, and relationships with unwavering integrity. Standards that elevate your behavior and reinforce the type of man you expect yourself to be daily. Purpose that shapes your decisions, aligns your actions, and creates a sense of direction that few men ever access. Without the King, men chase validation and live reactively. With the King, men build legacy and live intentionally. The Lover: Connection, Emotion, and Depth The Lover restores your humanity — the part of you that feels, senses, and connects. It brings: Emotional strength instead of emotional avoidance, helping you process your inner world with courage instead of shame. Passion for life, intimacy, and beauty that reignites your enthusiasm for being fully alive and present. The ability to bond deeply instead of numbing out, creating connection that enriches your life rather than drains it. Without the Lover, life becomes cold, mechanical, and numb. With the Lover, you feel alive, connected, and internally whole. The Magician: Insight, Strategy, and Inner Mastery The Magician represents wisdom — the internal guide that sees patterns, anticipates problems, and helps you evolve. It gives you: Self-awareness that allows you to understand your motives, wounds, beliefs, and hidden patterns with clarity. Mental clarity that cuts through confusion and shows you the truth behind your thoughts, behaviors, and decisions. The ability to transform pain into power, using your struggles as fuel for deeper growth and self-mastery. Skills to master your inner world so your emotions, impulses, and fears no longer sabotage your progress. Without the Magician, you repeat the same patterns unconsciously. With the Magician, you grow with precision, intention, and wisdom. Bringing the Archetypes Together When these four archetypes work together, you stop living in fragments. You become integrated, stable, and aligned — a man whose identity is no longer split, confused, or pulled in competing directions. The Warrior gives you action, forward motion, and the courage to engage fully with life's challenges instead of shrinking back. The King gives you purpose, authority, and the inner structure needed to build a life rooted in meaning rather than reaction. The Lover gives you heart, depth, emotional presence, and the ability to experience connection without losing yourself. The Magician gives you wisdom, insight, perspective, and the power to transform your inner world instead of repeating old patterns. This is the antidote to the crisis of masculinity — rebuilding yourself from the inside out using timeless masculine architecture that restores balance, strength, and psychological coherence. And this is the exact path of the Conscious Warrior — a path that integrates your instincts, your intellect, your emotions, and your purpose into one unified force. This is the work—moving from confusion to clarity, from drift to direction, from collapse to power. You reclaim masculinity by reclaiming yourself. Not by becoming louder. Not by adopting a persona. Not by playing a stereotype. But by aligning your mind, body, emotions, and purpose. That's the Conscious Warrior — a man who lives centered, grounded, and fully awake to his potential. FAQ: Understanding the Crisis of Masculinity What is the crisis of masculinity? The crisis of masculinity is the modern collapse of clear male identity, purpose, and initiation. It's the disconnection men feel when traditional roles fade without offering new frameworks. Many men are left without direction, clarity, or emotional grounding. This crisis shows up as depression, burnout, isolation, and confusion. While external pressures exist, the real solution is internal reconstruction—rebuilding your identity based on values, purpose, and emotional strength. Why do modern men feel lost? Most men feel lost because they've been raised without guidance in emotional strength, male identity development, and personal agency. Society tells men how not to act but rarely shows them how to develop genuine inner stability. This leads to overthinking, self-doubt, and a lack of direction. When you learn to lead yourself internally, you stop drifting. Is masculinity toxic by nature? No. Masculinity becomes toxic only when it's disconnected from purpose, values, and emotional grounding. Healthy masculinity protects, builds, leads, and lifts others. Toxic behaviors come from insecurity—not masculinity itself. When men cultivate emotional intelligence and identity work, masculinity becomes powerful, stable, and deeply constructive. How can I rebuild my sense of purpose? Start by removing numbing habits and reconnecting with your core drives: challenge, adventure, and connection. Then define your values, create a personal code, and build your life around alignment—not approval. Purpose is not found; it is forged. Small, consistent acts of discipline and clarity reconnect you to your inner direction. Why is emotional strength essential for modern men? Because suppressing emotions leads to emotional implosion. Emotional strength isn't about avoiding feelings; it's about directing them. When you regulate your emotional world, you regain control of your actions, choices, and identity. This is foundational for resolving the crisis of masculinity and stepping into warrior-level presence. What role does the warrior mindset play in masculinity? The warrior mindset emphasizes discipline, clarity, courage, and responsibility. It requires you to confront discomfort, build inner resilience, and pursue purpose over distraction. This mindset gives structure to your male identity and anchors you when life feels unsteady. It's not about aggression—it's about alignment. How do I begin the journey of becoming a Conscious Warrior? You start by telling the truth. Where are you drifting? Where have you lowered your standards? What are you avoiding? From there, you rebuild your internal framework, strengthen emotional resilience, and reconnect with your purpose. You learn to live by a personal code—and that changes everything.

From Paris Hilton to Bonnie Blue and AI generated porn he discusses how sexual content is evolving and the impact it is having on young people's lives.

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter reflects on his previous conversation with Professor Greg Downey, exploring the complexities of masculinity through an anthropological lens. He emphasizes that masculinity is a practice shaped by societal systems, rather than a fixed essence. The discussion highlights the dangers of toxic ideologies and the importance of emotional health and community. Gunter provides practical reflections on how individuals can embody healthier masculinity in their daily lives, focusing on the body, relationships, and the wider social context. He encourages listeners to engage in self-reflection and practice small, meaningful changes in their behavior.TakeawaysMasculinity is embodied and relational, not a fixed essence.Toxic ideologies can anesthetize men's pain rather than heal it.Masculinity is shaped by systems, not just individual actions.Cultural narratives about masculinity influence our behaviors.Practicing awareness of our bodies can reveal ingrained habits.Emotional responsiveness is key in relationships.Social media can amplify toxic narratives about masculinity.Self-reflection helps in recognizing internalized patriarchal values.Values should guide our actions, not societal expectations.Change in masculinity comes from small, consistent actions.Keywordsmasculinity, toxic ideologies, emotional health, community, anthropology, personal growth, relationships, social media, patriarchy, self-awarenessMid-Episode Break is brought to you by Distil Union.“You know, on this show we talk a lot about living with purpose — slowing down, paying attention, and being intentional about the choices we make every day.

There's a lot of debate these days about what it means to be a man. But maybe the answer is simpler than we think, and a lot of masculinity just comes down to confident competence. A broad set of know-how. The ability to get stuff done. The capacity to move through the world with purpose and skill.As someone who's lived several lives in one, Elliot Ackerman certainly embodies that ethos. He's a decorated Marine, a former CIA paramilitary officer, a National Book Award-nominated novelist, and now the writer of A Man Should Know, a column at The Free Press that explores the small but significant skills that shape a man's life.Today on the show, Elliot and I talk about why young men are struggling, how intention, discipline, and competence can change the way a man carries himself, and a few of the specific skills a man should know — from how to wear a watch to how to give a eulogy.Resources Related to the PodcastElliot's novelsElliot's "A Man Should Know:" columns:How to Introduce YourselfHow to Be a FriendHow to Own a WatchFields of Fire by James WebbThe Things They Carried by Tim O'BrienThe Catcher in the Rye by J.

War is the natural state of man—success depends on constant struggle, strength of character, and surrounding yourself with people of virtue.Episode Summary:On this episode of The Gun Experiment, I sit down with Matt Larsen, head of the U.S. Army's combatives program, for a deep, no-B.S. discussion about guns, philosophy, AI, economics, and what it means to be a high-value man. We dive into everything from how the gun industry uses marketing strategies (just like everyone else), to the ongoing fight for Second Amendment rights and the realities of government overreach. We also chat about the rise of AI and its effects on education, the global technology race with China, and why moral character (not just money or status) truly defines a high-value individual. Finally, we tackle masculinity, the lost boy generation, and why the people you choose to surround yourself with will make or break your life.Call to Action:1.

Visit saf.org to support the most effective pro-gun rights group in the country.Key Takeaways:The gun industry's marketing tactics are no different from any other retail sector—people buy what they love.Legal and political fights for the Second Amendment are ongoing; victories happen incrementally, and staying grounded is crucial.AI is revolutionizing communication and education, but it's both exciting and a little scary—prompting well is a skill of the future.The US and China are locked in an economic and technological race; economic power trumps military might in shaping global influence.High-value men are defined by character, loyalty, and the ability to raise up others—not by money, status, or online bravado.Masculinity is under attack in popular culture, but Gen Z men are swinging back toward traditional values.Your success and safety hinge on surrounding yourself with good people—character will always matter more than cash.Guest Information:Matt LarsenHead of the U.S. Army Combatives ProgramRenowned trainer, author, and advocate for...

Want to know the answer to how rejection can INCREASE your confidence in yourself? Usually rejection is not something any of us look forward to, but there may be more to rejection than you've been thinking there is. In this episode I talk about the way that we men view rejection from our intimate partners and how you can think about and use rejection in a positive way going forward in your life.In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first. This mindset allows empathy, trust and connection to happen because you're confident in who you're being. We teach skills and knowledge that nobody ever teaches men when we're younger. Skills and knowledge that make you feel confident and in control even when chaos is going on around you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you make yourself a priority. Most men don't.   They are too busy taking care of everyone else.  Too busy minding the store and making the money.   They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man. Come and join us, either through 1-on-1 coaching with my colleague Dan Dore or me, or in our group coaching program with other amazing men who are travelling the same path as you right now in our Men's Live Coaching Roundtable. There's an amazing tribe of guys in this group with us, supporting and helping each other through this process of growth and self realization. https://goodguys2greatmen.com/goodguys2greatmen-live-coaching-roundtable/ If you're facing possible divorce, we have an online course which is specifically for you - Defuse the Divorce Bomb: https://mojopolis.thinkific.com/courses/HDDB-preview?ref=a53950 What if this next year everything changed for you? That's what we want for you brother, We love teaching men these tools - how to be better, how to know who you are, what you stand for, what you want and how to CREATE it in your life through our Masculine Confidence coaching programs.

Feeling isolated as a neurodivergent man? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April talks modern masculinity for ND men with Josh Fineman, founder of Mensch—a North London community helping guys unplug from pressure and reconnect via men's circles, nature challenges, and 1:1 coaching. For autistic/ADHD young fathers (35-40s sweet spot), Josh addresses loneliness, purpose voids, and disconnection from self—blending ancient wisdom/modern tools for emotional courage and growth. Key insights: Core pressures: Ticking boxes (career/family) while losing self—loneliness from no village support. Men's circles magic: Safety (confidentiality/no fixing) + challenge (calling forward) for shared growth. Nature therapy anxiety: Grounding (feet on grass/breath), tree "waving" for ND calm. Unlocking purpose: Non-linear—trust instincts, small steps (follow curiosity, no one-fix pressure). Vulnerability wins: Brotherhood normalizes it; emerge via community, not solo. If you're an ND man battling isolation, burnout, or "proving" yourself (like Josh's zigzags to mentorship), this ep inspires action. Free call at bemoremensch.com—build your tribe!

Most Christians sense that something has gone deeply wrong with manhood in the modern world. Nancy Pearcey joins Kevin to trace how the Industrial Revolution fractured family life, displaced men from the household, and created generations of isolation, escapism, and identity-confusion. Drawing from The Toxic War on Masculinity, she explains how Christianity once formed strong men—faithful husbands, sacrificial fathers, producers not consumers—and how it can again. If the family once broke, it can also be rebuilt. Christ renews men, restores homes, and makes possible a future stronger than the past.

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   In this powerful episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich tackles one of the most important questions a man can ask:   "What kind of man am I becoming?"   If you've been battling pornography, inconsistency, lack of purpose, or the feeling that you're living beneath your potential, this episode is for you.   Frank exposes the hard truth behind relapse and identity: The real battle isn't against lust, temptation, or dopamine; it's against the version of you that settles.   In this episode, you'll discover the Rebuilt Man philosophy, why most traditional methods fail (blockers, willpower, prayer without discipline, and 12-step dependency), and how true transformation happens when a man rebuilds identity, discipline, and self-leadership from the inside out.   Frank also breaks down the Reboot Your Life 12-Week Framework, a proven system designed to help men take control of their mind, body, habits, purpose, and leadership.   If you're tired of surviving and ready to become the man God created you to be — lean in.   Key Takeaways The real question is: What kind of man are you becoming?   You're not fighting dopamine — you're fighting the weaker version of yourself.   A Rebuilt Man leads himself first before leading his family and calling.   Freedom begins with structure, predictability, and simple systems.   Service is the hallmark of true masculinity — not self-absorption.   A weak body leads to a weak mind — fitness and discipline matter.   Growth happens through discomfort, not escape.   The finish line isn't quitting porn — it's becoming a man you respect.   You don't need more willpower — you need a path, brotherhood, and guidance.   The world doesn't need more "sober" men — it needs Rebuilt Men.     Join the Brotherhood   If you're ready to stop fighting alone and step into a container built for growth, support, and freedom:   ➡ Join The Rebuilt Man Skool Community — Free 7-Day Trial www.TheRebuiltMan.com/7dayreset   Inside you'll gain access to: Daily accountability Weekly coaching The 7-Day Reset The 12-Week "Reboot Your Life" Framework And a brotherhood of men who refuse to quit   – Follow Coach Frank: IG - https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich   YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@CoachFrankRich   Website - https://www.rebuiltrecovery.com/homepage

Pivot is off for the holiday, but we've got a special treat — an extra helping of Kara and Scott! Kara recently sat down with Scott to talk about his new book, "Notes on Being a Man," for an episode of On With Kara Swisher. In their conversation, Scott discusses how the Trump campaign won over young men with a regressive version of masculinity, why he thinks we should re-embrace young men's horniness, and why more men need to step up as mentors.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking for advice on improving leadership? In this insightful episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews  lawyer and leadership consultant Noel Bagwell about personal experiences of resilience and rebuilding after major life changes, the importance of trust and communication in business, and his unique subscription-based legal model. Noel shares his insight on the importance of trust in legal practice and in leadership consulting. Both involve building and maintaining relationships with coworkers, counterparts and clients. It is important to be mindful of how you structure your relationships with people and how you navigate conflict. If you can develop trusting relationships, you can be informal with how to do business. But, it is crucial to still create strong, formal contracts with clients to keep things professional. Noel and Tyson chat about how to build confidence in yourself and clients. The first thing in achieving this is to understand your own competence. Think about what you excel in and what your weaknesses are, especially if you struggle with imposter syndrome. You need to rethink your mindset as it relates to yourself and your abilities. If there are areas of your firm that you are not strong in, such as contracts or intake, take some time to figure out a strong path forward to implement that change.Take a listen!2:20 AI, Simulation Theory, and Faith5:56 Leadership Failures and Legal Problems9:50 Strength, Masculinity, and Resilience14:44 Parenting, Self-Defense, and Channeling Energy16:21 Coaching, Focus, and Positive Guidance18:14 Virtue, Competence, and Trust in Law 22:42 Work-Life Fusion and Authenticity 24:37 Preventing Overwhelm and Setting Expectations32:57 Flat Fee vs. Hourly Billing43:35 Competence, Confidence, and Identity 48:12 Layers of Identity and BeliefTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Noel:Website Linkedin 

What PRRI's Latest Data Reveals About Our Deepening Divide In the shadow of rising polarization, this episode dives deep into the latest findings from PRRI's American Values Survey, Trump's Unprecedented Actions Deepen Asymmetric Divides. Corey is joined by Dr. Melissa Deckman to break down the data—and what it tells us about party loyalty, trust in institutions, Christian nationalism, and shifting norms around religion and identity. They also unpack how Gen Z is engaging with this cultural landscape, particularly the gender divide between young men and women, and what the term “party agnostic” really means for the next generation of voters.

Reading is the fastest way to gain hard-won wisdom, deepen your focus, and sharpen your decision-making. If you're only reading headlines, you're borrowing someone else's thinking—books let you build your own. In this episode, JT and Anthony explore why men must move beyond soundbites to the rich, life-shaping power of books, particularly those listed by Stephen in the previous episode. As James Allen wrote in As a Man Thinketh, “A man is literally what he thinks.” Who and what will you allow to form your thinking?Stop consuming forgettable content and start reading what forms you into a GreatMan.LEARN MORE:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Stacy and Daynah immediately spiral into a conversation that only lifelong best friends (and overthinkers) could have and take listeners on a ride through health, humor, and high-level existential dread. Their chat about The Long Walk turns into a surprisingly hilarious exploration of why empaths maybe shouldn't watch dystopian movies without emotional support snacks, how masculinity could use a software update, and why community matters even when humanity is… a lot. Sprinkle in black-hole anxiety, faith detours, wealth cringe, and The Woman in Cabin 10, and you've got a classic convo: big feelings, big laughs, and big “wait, how did we get here?” energy. 0:00 | Midlife health scares & empath energy 4:00 | College years, identity shifts & big feelings 10:00 | First reactions to The Long Walk 14:00 | Masculinity, humanity & unexpected tenderness 20:00 | Community, connection & being emotionally awake 26:00 | Activism overwhelm & the empath burnout cycle 32:00 | Existential spirals, faith shifts & too many thoughts 40:00 | Sensitive brains, black holes & cosmic panic 46:00 | Trauma media & protecting the empath nervous system 48:00 | The Woman in Cabin 10 & women without the tropes 53:00 | Wealth discomfort, power vibes & the haunting of yachts See complete show notes and more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠!
