“Parents naturally hold their children's authority while they mature - have you RECLAIMED yours yet?” All too often men give away their authority to an “expert” OR they refuse to let anyone else in. There's a middle ground here where others' opinions matter but only in ultra-intentional, specific ways. This balancing act is a PRACTICE and choosing the right people is paramount to healthy boundaries. Click play and learn how I walk the middle path! REFLECTION QUESTION: Who's opinion do you value? Are you unconsciously giving them your authority?   Rising Man Links: The Brotherhood || The Most inclusive, actionable, and helpful container for men on this planet!  Initiation | Compass is a 4 day 4 night Vision Fast in the wilderness, with preparation and incorporation calls in the months before and after.  Instagram | @risingmanmovement DOJO | The DOJO is a 4 day, carefully crafted sequence of rigorous exercises that will challenge the limits of your mental, physical, and emotional fortitude.

“I want my kids to identify and appreciate differences, but to use them for CONNECTION rather than SEPARATION”. Between these two Rising Man leaders, their children represent at least 6 distinct cultures - including Japanese, Colombian, African, Mexican, & Italian! This is an increasingly common dynamic that families and fathers are grappling with... How can we raise our children to appreciate ALL their lineages and ancestries? What practices and conversations have Jeddy and Phil used to instill beautiful, connective values into their kids? We can't fully know what it's like to walk in someone else's shoes, but leading with CURIOSITY & UNDERSTANDING goes a long way towards making this world a more beautiful place.    Highlights: [05:48] How safe, UNFILTERED conversations with Black men helped Jeddy gain perspective and empathy. [11:20] How Jeddy's racial identity affected his formative years. [19:02] Would we understand one another better with more multiracial people on the planet? [24:38] Did previous generations prefer to ignore or push away conversations around race? [34:49] Why color blindness is NOT the total solution to racism. [39:32] Why RESOURCING our children sets them up to navigate the world of race and ethnicity. [44:38] How starting with instilling VALUES can set kids up for success. [47:27] How to use differences for CONNECTIVE purposes rather than for SEPARATION. [51:44] Why simply introducing young kids to DIVERSE characters and stories helps them navigate racial dynamics. [55:01] Why it's always worth being uncomfortable for the sake of learning more.   Rising Man Links: DOJO | The DOJO is a 4 day, carefully crafted sequence of rigorous exercises that will challenge the limits of your mental, physical, and emotional fortitude.

“If you are determined to grow, you have to be willing to look in the mirror” How we perceive ourselves is an all-important inquiry that too many men ignore.

He left as a boy, and returned as a man...This is what happens on most rites of passage that men go through. This is part of a lot of cultures, and sadly is something that is not overly common any longer. As this episode comes out, I will be in the middle of undergoing one of these rites of passage myself with Jeddy Azuma and a team of guides. I'll be in completely alone in the forest for 4 days and nights with no food, and no tent. Just myself, my journal, and the nature. In this episode I share more about what the experience entails, why I chose to do it, and more about some of the prep that I've had to do leading up to it, as well as some of the lessons learned already in this experience.

“Anytime my system feels unsafe it will look for ways to reintroduce safety” HOW we re-establish safety to our nervous systems is an area primed for internal study.

Focusing on HOW we deal with fear and navigate the survival response is an integral question, listen in as Jeddy shares his resolution! REFLECTION QUESTION: How do I decide to choose growth over avoidance & addiction? Why do I choose what I choose?
