Through stories of connection, vulnerability, and self-mastery, they reveal how the program has helped them become trustworthy leaders, deepen relationships, and embrace true brotherhood.

What practices and conversations have Jeddy and Phil used to instill beautiful, connective values into their kids?

“Just the simple act of being by yourself intentionally in nature burns off impurities and clarifies vision” We talk a lot about Vision, Purpose, and Service at The Rising Man, for good reason.

“Create conditions for clarity & courage to emerge” Testing limits and purposefully choosing challenges are intrinsically masculine qualities. In Compass, Rising Man's rites of passage experience, men embrace the discomfort because they know deep down they need to slow down and LISTEN. Every man has his own reasons but Jeddy shares the essential universalities today. Life is a long series of transitions, and rites of passage provides us with a framework for ending and opening chapters with integrity, intention, and clarity!   REFLECTION QUESTION: How do you show up when challenged?

Movember - a time to really hone in on the importance of both our prostate and mental health. And this year, we felt it was incredibly important to dissect one of the biggest influences to our mental health (and maybe even to our prostate) - our intimate relationships!

IF WE DO NOT INITIATE OUR BOYS INTO THE VILLAGE, THEY WILL BURN IT DOWN JUST TO FEEL ITS WARMTH.– AFRICAN PROVERB  About Jeddy Azuma "I am a curator of culture, philosopher, and leader of men. In 2017, I created "The Rising Man Podcast" to investigate modern masculinity, promote men's well-being, and to explore what it means to be a "man". Over the past 3 years, The Rising Man has evolved into an international, multi-generational movement of men whose collective purpose is to initiate an entire generation into purposeful leadership and personal power. I currently am responsible for creating and overseeing leadership development programs, wilderness Rites of Passage, and personal growth experiences for men." Join Stephanie as Jeddy talks about his journey, and the power of rites of passage in the life of a boy as he transitions to manhood.  Jeddy's assertion that we cannot heal the negative or destructive aspects of societal miseducation and trauma unless we first stop labeling and dismissing "toxic masculinity" ( a phrase he'd like to eliminate from the lexicon) without trying to understand the cause or motivation behind the behaviors may be the societal change we need to effect in order to avoid the explosions of violence or self-harm we see every day in the news, on our streets and sometimes in our homes. Can we stop a mass shooting by removing the internal barriers to receiving help? Are fasts and forests a first-line, intersectional cure for this broken society? https://risingman.org/ The Rising Man Podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thegeode/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegeode/support

In today's episode, I sat down with someone who has been a big inspiration for me, Jeddy Azuma. Jeddy and I covered a LOT. He shared his story of how he came to connect with truth, ancient practices, and doing work that is aligned and meaningful, and how we all are working to leave a legacy. We talked about the difference between a boy and a man and the difference between the "initiations" we see in modern hazing and the traditional initiation ceremonies that have been practiced for thousands of years and that Jeddy works with today. We covered topics like asking for help and why it's so hard, being process vs. results oriented, what the point is of ceremony, and how we can practice and develop our relationship with challenge. This episode was dense, maybe one you want to go back and listen to again. Jeddy Azuma is the host of “The Rising Man Podcast” (Top #150 in Educational Podcasts) and Creator of The Rising Man Movement, Jeddy has been in the field of Men's Leadership and Empowerment for the past 10 years. As a Rites of Passage Guide, Mentor, and Leadership Coach, Jeddy has impacted the lives of hundreds of men on his mission to initiate an entire generation of men into power and purpose-driven service to the world. He is a Founding Father of Conscious Man Brotherhood and a lead coach in Man Cave, Unleash the Beast, and King's Court. Despite his many roles and contributions to “Men's Work", Jeddy considers his most important jobs to be Father and Husband. “I always knew I wanted to make a major impact on the world, I just had NO idea how to do that in my 20's. After numbing myself with substances and fear-based behaviors for years, I finally found a path in men's work and rites of passage that fed my soul. And, I knew it was only a matter of time before I would give this medicine back to the men around me. NOW, I'm clear that the gift I have for my people is to prepare the next generation of men to lead their families, communities, and themselves powerfully and confidently into uncertain times."

Jeddy Azuma is a men's group facilitator who focuses on initiating men into power and purpose.

A man of integrity is not made overnight. He is forged over time, growing each time he honors a commitment or acts with impeccability. There is a tried and true path to masculine mastery, which you'll learn in today's Monday Morning Meditation.   Show Notes:   Why preparation is vital for masculine mastery How can we respond to life's unexpected twists and turns? Why decisiveness is a trait to work on What to do in the aftermath of acting out of alignment How does a Rising Man embody impeccability?

Expressing your truth is essential while walking the Rising Man path. There will be fear of judgement, and worries that no one else will understand. Jeddy breaks down why these concerns are false and how to own your truth, no matter how messy.   “By choosing yourself, you are in essence choosing all the people depending on you”   Show Notes: Why there's no benefit to judgement Are we biologically equipped to be a lone wolf? Do you think you will be unrelatable if you express your deepest truth? Why sharing and owning your truth will set you free Who are we to judge? Does it come from a place of being better than someone else?

Episode 018 is your call back to the tribe. As a lifelong lone-wolf, I am speaking from my current, personal experience when I say that joining a tribe is the most potent thing you can do on your journey to living a more authentic, aligned, wild and free life. In this episode, I share my journey going from isolation and solitude to not only joining a tribe, but creating one. We talk about the difference between solitude and isolation, how I came to realize we need other people, how I found my tribe, and why I built Wild, the community for women who are done half-living to gather in circle and reconnect to their true nature. This episode is special because reconnecting to the tribe and gathering in circle is really new for me and it's something I never thought I'd have and never knew I needed. Now it's the number one thing on my mind at all times. This episode is also special because it is my first YouTube video! Head over to my channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoTgfDFVbwdTZ-JUOcyIJTA. I hope this episode inspired every one of you to remember the ancient wisdom stored in you around the importance of tribe. Women, I created Wild for you because this is exactly the community I want to be in myself. Again, head over to www.paigeoxley.com for more information, to connect with me, and learn how to apply.

Initiation and ancestral connection are key components of the Rising Man movement. Our guest, Ke'oni Hanalei, can trace his lineage back thousands of years, resulting in profound, fresh perspectives on masculine mastery. He imparts sacred knowledge from the Mū culture and zeroes in on PURPOSE as the foundation for a healthy life. Among the unique teachings shared in this episode, Ke'oni explains why he calls himself energetically androgynous and what a true warrior of the light stands for.   Show Notes:   What is fern medicine? How did Ke'oni come to be initiated into this knowledge? How the ancient wisdom tradition and culture of Mū has been transmitted through thousands of generations  Why all the wisdom you need is within your body & DNA What is the true meaning of radiance? Why ancestral connection and generational succession play a greater role in our lives than commonly believed. Is the disruption of lineal knowledge intentional? Why so many men are not connected to their purpose, and what we can do about it A warrior stands for the enforcement of longevity and quality of life What does it mean to be energetically androgynous? How to transform intentions into manifestations All dreams can become practical by applying action and precision  How to align your masculine and feminine energies to work in tandem. What is true discernment and how does it impact your community? Why the right to express memory is key for unlocking full feminine power Do you have faith in your knowing?  How to allow the body to be a conduit to greater knowing, discernment, and alignment Why urgency can destroy intimacy and lead to reactionary behavior Why the language of logic is practicality What are the long term effects of stress and pressure? How to innovate through life's inconveniences  Why men need to drop the need for domination Connect with Ke'oni   Website | Pohala.net - free virtual workshops   Instagram | @pohala_hawaiian_botanicals     Rising Man Links:   Fire Circles | Are you ready to join other men JUST LIKE YOU who have found a way to RISE ABOVE life's challenges and create a life of purpose and fulfillment?   Initiation | Compass Program - 4 day 4 night Vision Fast in the wilderness, with preparation and incorporation calls in the months before and after.     Website | RisingMan.org

Every day we make hundreds of life altering decisions. They might not seem pivotal because they are so frequent, but each choice shapes our lives. A Rising Man will make the decision aligned with his long term vision. This runs counter to our baseline programming, which is constantly seeking instant pleasure with no thought given to the ramifications. Listen in as Jeddy inspires us to cultivate awareness and make choices from our most heartfelt vision.   Show Notes: A Rising Man makes decisions based on his long term vision, not what would feel pleasurable in the short term By taking the potential implications of any action into account, we can save ourselves later pain Precise awareness practiced over time leads to excellence.  In order to commit, we need to use our vision to navigate time   Rising Man Links:   Join us in Vancouver on May 2nd, San Francisco on May 9th, and Los Angeles on May 16th in solidarity to reveal ourselves to each other, man-to-man, to remember that none of us are unique.

It's okay to be overwhelmed, it's part of the human experience. The mark of a Rising Man is one who honestly owns his experience, and takes steps in a healthy direction. When we are stressed and anxious, it can feel hopeless. The good news is that clearing these stuck feelings is often as simple as getting out into nature or doing breathwork. Listen in for Jeddy's foolproof three step plan!   Show Notes: Feeling overwhelmed is common, and it has a consistent solution. How small healthy acts give us a boost Overwhelm occurs when we don't know where to focus our energy What are the indicators that you are stressed and anxious? 1st step: Catch yourself in the feelings of overwhelm 2nd step: Pivot, change your focus 3rd step: Take action, start with the most critical item Remind yourself that you can, and have, faced these circumstances with excellence   Rising Man Links:   Join us in San Francisco on May 9th and Los Angeles on May 16th in solidarity to reveal ourselves to each other, man-to-man, to remember that none of us are unique.

Do you need sex to feel loved? Can there be intimacy without touch? Stefanos blows the lid off sexual and romantic fallacies while sharing practical tips to inspire inner joy. Stefanos is a dynamic relationship and purpose coach, and today he speaks to the deepest wounds and pains we share as men. Topics also include the importance of deliberate & temporary celibacy, the difference between solitude and isolation, and the usefulness of crystal clear intentionality.    Show Notes: Awareness and maturity are the hallmarks of a man. Sex encompasses far more than the body Why we become lazy and complacent with sex when in long term relationships Tips on maintaining relationships Deliberate celibacy can be revolutionary to rewire our relationship with the feminine There is nothing wrong with desire, but there are often subconscious manipulative behaviors that come up It's a fallacy that men want sex more than women.  If your intention is not crystal clean, women will feel that.  How can I serve my women? - A helpful mindset Where is your sexual desire coming from? It's often coming from distorted beliefs Sexual intercourse is inherently creative, and this energy can be used in infinite other ways.  When we write down our thoughts and journal, we can ask questions about how we operate and gain awareness to create change. Physical intimacy doesn't always mean sex. Start experimenting.  Sexual intimacy will come organically as you explore heart centered intentions. Once we commit, then accountability becomes the focus Self reliance includes leaning on other men you respect, but also dealing with life by yourself.  Solitude is deliberate and growth oriented, while isolation is unconscious and victim based. ________________________________________________________ Connect with Stefanos:   Instagram @stefanossifandos Stefanosifandos.com - events for men and women. “Reclaim Your Kingdom” - 8 week online immersive.

Creating an honor code and system of values is a pivotal step in becoming a man. Sharing a collective code has the potential for an even greater impact. Jeddy has spent hundreds of hours diving into warrior codes and in this conversation with other men. He distilled that wisdom into the code that you are about to listen to. This is one you don't want to miss - as these simple, powerful principles will drastically change your life, if you follow them relentlessly.    Show Notes:   Every warrior has a code of conduct and values The men's movement lacks a unified code - which inspired Jeddy to create the Way of the Rising Man. He provides a safe space everywhere he goes. He lives honorably even when no one is watching He fights for a purpose greater than himself.  If he doesn't know that purpose, he fights to find it. He is disciplined in actions and emotions. He shows compassion to others and himself He is a role model and leader for all   Reflection Questions: What is the most important value to have as a man?  What happens when you break the code? Rising Man Links:   The next COMPASS Vision Fast will be from October 25th- November 2nd.

The words brother and bro are commonly used, but what does it truly mean to have a band of brothers? How could we shift the planet if all the world's men recognized their connection to one another? We explore these questions and much more in this dynamic episode. We hit another Rising Man first by hosting THREE guests, as we have the honor of hosting the founders of Sacred Sons - Aubert Bastiat, Adam Jackson, and Jason Mack.   Show Notes:   Becoming a man doesn't require the annihilation of the boy archetype The boy is best as a passenger along the journey of life, not the driver What does brotherhood mean? You can lean on them, they can lean on you. Has our society lost its sense of comradery?  How are you calling in a brotherhood? A brother has the willingness to “go there” in a respectful, mature way.   How the Sacred Sons formed and details on their vision Present vs. Absent Father  The importance of having a consistent character in our lives to treat us with unconditional acceptance Every man in our life has given us information on how to be a man, even if they show us how not to be. How creating safe space opens up a portal into transformation and healing If not now, then when? If not you, then who? From personal development, to collective development Men's work is stronger when the various tribes can co-create - one example is the Call of the Wild event where we will perform the HAKA ceremonial dance on Venice Beach on 9/7 the Conscious Man Brotherhood and Sacred Sons, among others.    Connect with Sacred Sons: Sacred Son's Men's Convergence - back to back weekends 10/11-13 and 10/18-20.

Imagine facing ten years in prison, away from everyone you know and love, and without many of the conveniences we take for granted. How would you respond? Today's guest is going through such a journey, and has become a fully realized man thru this ordeal. He adopted the learner's mindset and put meaning to his suffering. True freedom comes from within, and can't be taken away. Pepe details how to make this monumental shift in consciousness, and encourages us to rewrite our old stories with new, empowering meanings.   “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances.” – Victor Frankl   Show Notes:   Dealing with the death of a vision and overcoming extreme apathy The “Jaws” moment - when everything is going fine and dandy, and suddenly the unexpected disaster happens. How do we respond? The difficult times are cross roads, and offer an opportunity for great growth “The willingness to sacrifice for something greater than yourself” - Pepe's no nonsense definition of spirituality. Many of us with religious backgrounds distrust the word faith. Finding our own definition can prove invaluable. As soon as we step outside of the fear, we orient towards the solution. “What can I learn?” - having the strength to ask that question in the face of fear or extreme circumstances Don't suffer pointlessly, find purpose and learn. A warrior shows up and embraces his responsibilities A free man has no choices, only commitments Living from a place of inner freedom while external, practical freedoms are taken away No one can take your sense of freedom or peace of mind. We don't get what we want without sacrificing something else   How to Connect with Pepe: His "Preparing For Freedom" Podcast will launch when he begins serving time later this year.

What is the Rising Man movement here to do? What pushes us to stand in our purpose, day in and day out? Today we give thanks to you with a special reflection and deep thoughts on our very first, very special birthday. Our commitment is rooted in a deep 365 days, spanning 62 interviews, over 40 meditations, and with a listener range spanning over 30 countries. Lets look back on our year as a team and a brotherhood from around the globe. "Rise up, and claim your destiny" - to rise up, step in, claim what you came for. Thank you so much for your support, we love you.

EP63 - “The Rising Man”    “We go in and out of consciousness.  It's more of a target.  More of an objective.” Jeddy Azuma   Our guest today is one of the Founding Fathers of the Conscious Man Brotherhood with Preston Smiles.  He is also the host of The Rising Man Podcast and he leads men's retreats as well as rights of passage work.  After receiving his doctorate in physical therapy and pursuing a successful career he found himself empty and unfulfilled and decided to leave everything behind and start over.  One of the things I love about Jeddy is his authenticity, honesty, and willingness to open up and dig into any topic.    On this episode of The DreamMason Podcast we discuss: -The importance of community & conscious circles -Becoming a man -What it means to be conscious -Toxic masculinity and the impact of the labels we create -Guilt and shame -Expanding conversations and being of service -Pornography and the impact it has on our minds -The value and importance of connecting with nature   Thanks for listening.

Asking for help is a huge No-No for many men. They want to figure it out on their own or they don't want to bother anyone. Let's end that trend. Jeddy shares a personal story about this topic, and inspires us to reach out BEFORE we think we need help. Sometimes we need to be reminded that we are not alone, and there is someone who WANTS to support us. If you don't have those people, The Rising Man and CMB community has its doors wide open for you.

Pornography might seem harmless and normal, but when we learn about sex from porn, it can skew our relationship with women. Jeddy offers a deeper look into the effects of porn on men, male sexuality/intimacy, and how this affects women feeling safe in the world. Remove the shame, get support from the Rising Man community, and RISE ABOVE your base desires!

I guarantee that it's not what you think, because there is no fixed definition of a Rising Man. The role calls for flexibility, being able to ride the wild waves of life. The waves might require we wear our more gentle “hat”, or the warrior's eagle feather. Learn the secret techniques with Jeddy and RISE UP, higher than you've ever dared dream before.

Thanks to your support, we hit EPISODE 50 ! We at the Rising Man are eternally grateful for you all. In this episode, Jeddy shares some of the most impactful lessons he learned in year one and also announces some important awesome changes coming in 2019.

No matter if 2018 was the best or worst year of your life, the wheels of time keep turning and 2019 is upon us! Start the year on the right foot by taking some simple steps to power up, RISING MAN style. Jeddy offers a template for doing a yearly review, encourages us to set a theme or a focus for the new year, and invites us to have an honest clearing conversation.

One of the biggest issues facing young men today is the lack of rites of passage and mentorship. Without community and having others in our lives with a shared vision, we cycle thru self destructive patterns. We can change this TODAY, starting with looking within and then by connecting to the Rising Man community.

Why are so many of us men struggling in silence, alone, without purpose, and without clear direction to turn our lives around? To answer this question, I share my own journey from boyhood to manhood, why this podcast was born, and what I envision for the Rising Man community.
