You do whatever you can to try to save that marriage. And if, at that point, the marriage doesn't work, then it's time to move on.” “You gotta become the best version of yourself to be able to lead anybody. Because if you can't lead yourself, you can't lead anybody else.” “Be yourself. Just be authentic. Don't try to be anything you're not. When you're authentic, you attract the right person anyway.” “A lot of times, people focus on the exterior, the outside world. You've got to fix the inside world first.

Tik Maynard is an internationally respected horseman, author, and dad who hit midlife before realising that life is less about striving and external validation and more about understanding who you truly are and how to live from that place with honesty and purpose. Through his journey training wild horses for a high-stakes competition, Tik uncovered something deeper: how presence, vulnerability, and authenticity are not just essential in horsemanship - they're essential in life. This is a conversation about midlife reckoning, being authentic, and learning to listen - both to others and to yourself. You'll hear about: The concept of “high involvement, low attachment” and why it might be the most powerful mindset for any man facing change.Why midlife can feel like a split and how to reconcile it.How animals, especially horses, can ground and heal us.What Tik learned about masculinity in the most vulnerable competition of his life.This episode isn't just about horses. It's about the deeper journey of midlife - one that calls you to live more authentically and reminds you that it's the path you walk, not the destination, that truly shapes you. Tik's book, Starting in the Middle, is available in the UK from Quiller Publishing and in the USA from Trafalgar Books. You can also buy it from Amazon.

Bonnie Buckner, PhD, is the founder and CEO of the International Institute for Dreaming and Imagery, where she teaches people how to use dreaming and imagery for personal growth, problem-solving, and enhanced creativity. Buckner has used dreamwork as the basis for her work as an executive and creative coach for over twenty years. In addition she continues to serve as an Executive Coach and Senior Fellow at George Washington University's Center for Excellence in Public Leadership and Co-Faculty Director of their eCo Leadership Coaching certification program. Discover your dreams, find your purpose, and decode your subconscious. In The Secret Mind, creative dreamwork expert Dr. Bonnie Buckner teaches you how to use your nighttime dreams as a practical tool for not only solving your challenges, but also developing your fullest potentials and living a life of purpose. Harnessing the power of dreams has been Buckner's life's work, and what she has found in doing dreamwork with executives and creatives across the globe is this: We all have a "secret mind"—the part of our brain that has all the tools we need to solve our own problems—and that "secret mind" can be accessed through your dreams. In The Secret Mind, Buckner shares her method for translating the mystery of dreams so that you have access to your own inner powerhouse for transformation. You will learn how to:—strengthen the muscle for remembering and understanding your dreams—identify patterns and unresolved issues in dreams—use the waking dream method to re-enter dreams to address unfinished business in your waking life Drawing from neurobiology and social psychology, The Secret Mind presents dreaming as a practice for both personal and global development. With Buckner's simple tools and exercises, a more beautiful, creative world is just a dream away.

In this unfiltered conversation, I sit down with renowned sex and relationship coach Caitlin V. to explore the truths about male performance anxiety, orgasms, slowing down intimacy, and why men might be misunderstanding their own desires — and women's. We discuss how societal pressures create performance myths, the importance of pacing and communication in the bedroom, why curiosity beats confidence, and the misconceptions around anal play, identity, and masculinity. Plus, Caitlin shares her wildest orgasm story and the fantasy she hasn't tried… yet.

What if the reason you keep choosing the wrong partner… is a belief you picked up at five years old? Much of our adult life we're actually acting from unconscious patterns that shape who we're drawn to, how we show up in relationship, and why many men feel stuck chasing chemistry instead of building conscious connection... THIS is a moment when the boy or the prince within us has to grow up into a man.

Have you ever asked yourself: Do I create a safe, judgment-free environment where my kids can come to me with their awkward questions? Am I making time for one-on-one connection with my kids, so these tough conversations can happen more naturally? What steps am I taking to protect my kids from online exposure, and is there more I could be doing? Navigating “the talk” about sex and sexuality is a daunting task for dads everywhere — and it never seems to get less awkward. Today, Larry sits down with renowned author and communicator Jim Burns to break down how dads can lead the way in guiding their kids through conversations about sex, porn, and growing up in a digital world. Larry and Jim dive deep into the realities of "the talk"—why it never quite stops feeling awkward, and why that awkwardness can actually be a gateway to genuine connection with our kids. They explore why our own discomfort shouldn't keep us from being the voices our children trust to learn about relationships, intimacy, and sexual integrity—especially when the internet and social media are more than willing to fill in any gaps we leave. You'll hear practical strategies for navigating these conversations, including how to replace a single, intimidating “talk” with hundreds of approachable one-minute chats, ways to demystify topics like pornography and online safety, and tips for tailoring discussions to your child's unique personality. If you want to raise confident kids who learn about sex and relationships from you—and not from TikTok or YouTube—this episode is packed with clarity, courage, and actionable advice to help you step up, again and again, in those crucial parenting moments. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: Embracing Awkwardness: Jim Burns shares that awkward isn't the enemy—it's actually a doorway to true connection. If your head sweats or you stammer, congratulations, you're doing it right! From One “Talk” to 100 Conversations: The secret? Don't stress the big performance. Focus on hundreds of one-minute check-ins and question invites over time. Navigating Porn & Tech: In today's world, our kids' go-to source for sex education is often the internet. Jim breaks down how early and often these conversations need to happen—and why holding off on full-on smartphones can give your kids a real edge. What If You're Still Sorting Out Your Own Stuff: If you're struggling with sexual integrity or have a messy past, don't sit silently. Your honesty and process can become a powerful guide for your children. This episode reminds us that showing up with intention, compassion, and consistency is what really matters. Here's what research and observation highlight about parental involvement in sex education: Studies show that 70% of teens report accidentally or intentionally encountering online pornography,  Studies show that ongoing, bite-sized conversations are up to 50% more effective in retention and behavioral outcomes compared to single, formal discussions. Studies found that teens who receive sex education from their parents are 24% less likely to engage in risky sexual behavior compared to those who learn primarily from peers or media  https://thedadedge.com/537 thedadedge.com/bark  thedadedge.com/alliance  https://homeword.com/ @drjimburns @homewordcenter

After losing everything to addiction, including his home, his identity, and his will to keep going, Rob had to rebuild his entire life from scratch. In this brutally honest conversation, he talks about what real recovery looks like, why connection is the antidote to addiction, and how strict daily non-negotiables keep him alive today.

We're launching the Foundation for Fathers, and it's going to transform how we support dads navigating divorce. This nonprofit will provide free and low-cost resources, support groups, workshops, and legal education to fathers facing custody challenges—especially those without access to professional services.What makes this announcement truly revolutionary is our partnership with Will Black, founder of Sharing The Credit. Will has pioneered a method that turns credit card processing fees into sustainable funding for charities like ours. Rather than these fees going to banks, they can be redirected to support divorced fathers without costing businesses a penny more. In fact, 98.5% of businesses actually save money while making a meaningful difference.For divorced fathers, this partnership means more accessible coaching, free community memberships, and scholarship opportunities when they need it most. If you know any business that processes credit cards—from restaurants to law firms, especially divorce attorneys—connecting them with us could help fund critical resources while potentially saving them money. Just twenty participating businesses could fund our programs for an entire year.

Teenage boys have always had a certain reputation for rowdiness, but there's something different going on in our schools. Fuelled by toxic influencers, misogynistic behaviour is getting worse. So, how bad is it, and how do we stop it?

What defines real masculinity in a world full of noise and posturing? In this episode, we examine the quiet strength of Tom Hardy and Keanu Reeves—two men who embody humility, discipline, and dedication without seeking validation. From Hardy's jiu-jitsu tournaments to Reeves' relentless film prep, we explore how martial arts and consistent practice reflect true inner strength. Contrasting their grounded ethos with the spectacle-driven antics of “manfluencers,” we highlight the value of self-improvement over performance. Tune in for a powerful reflection on authenticity, presence, and redefining masculinity through silence, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to personal growth.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:01) - Celebrating Authentic Masculinity Through Action(0:10:21) - Authentic Masculinity Through Martial Arts(0:19:24) - Embodying Real Strength Through ActionSend us a text

Superman marks a welcome shift from the cynicism of recent superhero films, replacing the wearisome “men are bad” narrative with something timeless and uplifting—a hero who reflects God-given masculine virtues without shame or irony. At its core, this film offers more than entertainment; it offers hope rooted in moral clarity. James Gunn's direction stands out not only for its thrilling storytelling, but also for its ability to highlight strong female characters without caving to the ideological noise that has plagued modern franchises.Join James and Jeremiah from what sets this portrayal of women apart is the depth of the writing. Lois Lane is portrayed as courageous, intelligent, and resilient, yet her strength is coupled with humility and vulnerability—qualities that reflect a biblical understanding of strength under control. She is no caricature, but rather a fully realized character who complements rather than competes with the male lead. It's a refreshing return to the kind of storytelling that gave us enduring figures like Princess Leia and Sarah Connor—women who were strong, not in spite of femininity, but through it.At the heart of the film is Superman's inner conflict—his yearning to live as humble Clark Kent while carrying the enormous responsibility of his supernatural calling. This echoes the Christian journey: living as ordinary people in a fallen world, while bearing the image of a holy and eternal God. One scene in particular resonates on a spiritual level—when Superman opens his heart to his earthly father, basking in the sun's healing rays. It mirrors the experience of confession and repentance before our Heavenly Father, where light brings both conviction and restoration. "It's not your past that's important,” his father says, “it's your choices that make you who you are." A clear allusion to redemption and free will—core tenets of Christian theology.This tension between our temporal struggles and divine purpose speaks to a deeper truth: we are created not for mediocrity, but for greatness rooted in God's plan. Superman's desire to save, to sacrifice, and to rise above is a reflection of the imago Dei—the image of God within us. The film's striking visual of chasms opening in reality, caused by Lex Luthor's moral decay, powerfully illustrates how sin fractures identity, purpose, and the created order.Looking for a superhero film that entertains without compromising truth? Superman delivers humor, action, and soul-stirring insight. It reminds us that strength and virtue are not outdated—they're eternal.

What does it mean to be a "feminist dad"? Maybe a better place to start is asking: what does it mean to be a feminist at all... and why is that term so controversial? There are many ideas and misunderstandings associated with the concept of feminism, and in August of 2021, we were fortunate to explore feminism and fatherhood with the brilliant Jordan Shapiro: author, educator, and senior fellow at the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop. In his acclaimed book, Father Figure: How to Be a Feminist Dad, Jordan unpacks how traditional ideas of masculinity shape our parenting, why inclusivity matters, and what it takes to raise "radically inclusive" kids in a rapidly changing world. Whether you're new to the topic or ready to challenge what you thought you knew, this Rewind episode is full of big ideas and practical takeaways.Topics include:•  Fatherhood as an evolving, not fixed, role shaped by changing ideas about masculinity and gender.•  Embracing feminism in parenting by modeling inclusivity, equality, and respect for all.•  Challenging traditional masculine norms and embracing vulnerability and growth as a dad.•  Prioritizing responsibility and adaptability over authority in fatherhood.•  The importance of self-reflection and open dialogue about gender, identity, and family roles.•  And more!LINKS:Farther Figure: How To Be a Feminist DadJordan Shapiro (official website)Jordan Shapiro (Twitter)Jordan Shapiro (Instagram)Red Vault AudioCaspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeModern Dadhood (website)AdamFlaherty.tvStuffed Animal (Marc's kids' music)MD (Instagram)MD (Facebook)MD (YouTube)MD (TikTok) #moderndadhood #fatherhood #parenthood #parenting #parentingpodcast #dadding #dadpodcast

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”What if your deepest desires—even the ones that sometimes feel overwhelming or confusing—weren't obstacles to overcome but rocket fuel for your spiritual journey? In this profound exploration of authentic masculinity, Jack and Mark Schmitt unpack how the Claymore Battle Plan helps men redirect their passions toward their divine purpose.Drawing from Jack's childhood memories of adventure, battle, and beauty, we discover how these core masculine themes reflect our deepest spiritual longings. That magnetic pull toward beauty you've experienced? It's actually a divine spark designed to draw you out of yourself and into communion with God. The conversation takes a practical turn as Jack and Mark address the daily battlefield of the human heart. Rather than repressing desires or indulging them, they offer a third way: opening our passions to God and allowing Him to transform them. When you notice beauty that stirs something in you—whether a person or anything that awakens longing—you can immediately redirect that spark toward gratitude and prayer.This approach reveals an extraordinary truth: your temptations aren't roadblocks to sanctity but can set you on the very path itself. Jacks Latest Blog Young Men United in the Eucharist: Heroically Rebuilding the Three Necessary SocietiesFollow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalSubscribe to our Newly Resurrected YouTube Channel!Sign up for our Newsletter: https://jp2renew.org/Support the show

What Role Does Jordan Peterson Play in Shaping Young Men's Views on Masculinity?   Host Curtis Chang teams up with “founding friend” and New York Times columnist David French to unpack David's recent conversation with Jordan Peterson—and the crisis facing young men today. From mental health struggles to educational decline, David and Curtis take a hard look at what's shaping young male identity in modern America, including the outsized influence of figures like Peterson. They explore how political polarization, digital culture, and a loss of purpose are driving young men to extremes. Most importantly, they offer a redemptive vision: practical ways to cultivate virtuous masculinity through mentorship, community, and spiritual formation.   Donate to Redeeming Babel   Resources mentioned in this episode: David's column What's the Matter With Men?

Boys today are being told to man up by the right and sit down by the left. Coming of age in the shadow of #MeToo and wading through algorithms rife with manosphere content, many young men are accepting the far right's simple answers and leaning into traditional masculinity…without realizing it's stunting their emotional development. Others are letting technology isolate and depress them. What is it about boys' psychology that makes them so vulnerable to the Internet Age? How does patriarchy lead well-intentioned parents to treat their sons less affectionately? When will men have a liberation movement—and do they deserve one? Ruth Whippman, author of BoyMom, sits down with BoyDad Jon to unpack it all.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

One of the most common ways guys ruin their dating lives is by putting women on a pedestal. They believe they aren't enough and that they're lucky if a woman agrees to go on a date with them. Women instinctively pick up on this. They'll sense that they have all the power—that they could easily get you if they wanted—which makes you considerably less attractive to them.

Boom shakalaka! Dive into Ep 1,022 of The Clay Edwards Show, July 17, 2025 – 2 hrs of unfiltered reality radio with Clay Edwards firing on free speech, local scandals, & cultural clashes. Kicking off with a passionate defense of uncensored platforms amid AI de-ranking for taboo topics like COVID & crime. Local Roundup: Rudy Warnock's guilty verdict on corruption charges spirals into tragedy – post-trial car wreck & suicide attempt on I-20 near Pelahatchie. Clay unpacks the "victimless" white-collar crime, long federal sentences (20-50 yrs), & painful recovery ahead. Sympathy for family, but accountability stressed: "Nobody deserves that, but suicide isn't the way out." Breaking: Possible raid on Savannah Street – JPD activity, news crews; ties to roadblocks hunting escaped New Orleans prisoner Derek (last seen in MS). "They're doing cop stuff – welcome to the party!" FAFO Champ: Brandon block party shooting (June 21, Mary Miles Dr.) – city-permitted event turns deadly. Ryan Mosley (31) arrested for 1st-degree murder & felon w/ firearm after killing one, injuring another. "Don't go to parties needing a gun – rethink standards for permits!" Shrimp Scandal: Study reveals 30/44 Jackson-area spots serve imported shrimp despite "wild-caught" claims.

But illegal entry = crime; come through front door!" Obama's Masculinity Critique: Ex-prez urges men to get gay friends for empathy, share feelings, ditch provider roles, & embrace arts over sports. Clay fires back: "Already have gay alpha friends! This attacks manosphere – ironic from fragile Barry. Distinguish from LGBTQ agenda; assumptions offend conservatives." Epstein Ties: Listener nods to connections & suicides – "Weird how they're linked." Clay's Rants: Offense at sensitivity over words ("gay" as ball-busting, "retard" for stupidity – not targeting disabled). Stereotypes earned; force acceptance backfires (e.g., Redskins name – Indians want it back!). Raw, chaotic vibes on politics, culture, & accountability.
