Personal Development for Men Podcast by Manlihood.com

Manlihood... it’s a dying art.

Fathers pass it on to sons. And as fathers are less and less involved, young men know less and less about what it means to be a man.
We’re a bit tired of seeing sexist, chauvinist, drunken, frat-boys who have aged out, being representative of our role models.

So in 2013 Josh Hatcher decided to create a place where we can have the discussions that answer the question “What does it mean to be a man?”

Don Ross | Developing Men through Manhood Tribes

Don Ross | Developing Men through Manhood Tribes

In today’s culture, many men don’t know what it means to be a man. The journey to Manhood is often fraught with confusion, isolation, and seemingly insurmountable challenges, 

Introducing Don Ross, Founder of Manhood Tribes

Don Ross emerges as a guiding force, seeking to redefine and revive the essence of authentic masculinity. As the founder of Manhood Tribes, Don is on a mission to address the struggles faced by men today and offer a pathway towards meaningful connections, personal growth, and a rediscovery of the timeless virtues that define true manhood.

Manhood Tribes was born out of the recognition that many men grapple with the complexities of modern masculinity, from societal expectations to personal battles with addiction and despair. Don, fueled by a passion for fostering genuine connections among men, established this platform to bring them together in Tribes, acknowledging the innate need for camaraderie and support.

The core philosophy of Manhood Tribes revolves around the belief that men are not designed to navigate life in isolation. Instead, they are meant to thrive in groups, or Tribes, which serve as a source of strength, encouragement, and shared experience. The initiative kicks off with a transformative father/son rite of passage experience called First Tribe, with more diverse experiences planned for the future.

Regardless of one's stage in life, Manhood Tribes promises to have something to offer. The experience focuses on three key pillars—Manhood, Camaraderie, and Freedom—each designed to facilitate growth in specific areas of a man's life.

Under the banner of Manhood, participants gain a clear understanding of healthy masculinity and learn how to evolve as men. Camaraderie is fostered through adventure, challenge, and meaningful discussions, leading to the formation of significant friendships. Freedom, the third pillar, embodies the collective fight for healing and restoration, with a spiritual dimension rooted in the transformative power of Jesus.

A cornerstone of Manhood Tribes is the embrace of the "5 Marks of Manhood," which aims to simplify the understanding of what it means to be a man in today's complex world. These five fundamental traits—Strength, Courage, Skill, Honor, and Allegiance—serve as guiding principles for men on their journey towards a fulfilled and purposeful life.

As we embark on an insightful conversation with Don Ross on the Manlihood ManCast, we delve deeper into the vision, values, and transformative experiences that define Manhood Tribes, inspiring men to navigate the challenges of life with resilience, authenticity, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Quotes from Fyodor Dostoevsky


“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

 

 

 

“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

 

 

 

“To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

 

 

“I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea.” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground

 

 

“Man only likes to count his troubles; he doesn't calculate his happiness.” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead

 

 

“People speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky

 

 

“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

 

 

“But how could you live and have no story to tell?” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, White Nights

 

 

“Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

 

 

“The world says: "You have needs -- satisfy them. You have as much right as the rich and the mighty. Don't hesitate to satisfy your needs; indeed, expand your needs and demand more." This is the worldly doctrine of today. And they believe that this is freedom. The result for the rich is isolation and suicide, for the poor, envy and murder.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

 

 

 

“Much unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid.” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky

 

 

“Nothing in this world is harder than speaking the truth, nothing easier than flattery.” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky

The Deadliest Pacifist in US History - Alvin York | Testicular Fortitude

The Deadliest Pacifist in US History - Alvin York | Testicular Fortitude

In the heart of the maelstrom that was World War I, amidst the chaos of battlefields and the deafening roars of machine guns, a most unexpected hero emerged—an unassuming man named Alvin York. York's journey was not one of conventional heroism; rather, it was a saga of unwavering courage, unyielding faith, and a relentless commitment to a higher calling.


Testicular Fortitude is presented by Haines Knives - http://hainesknives.com/manlihood

Enter to win an EDC by Haines Knives here: http:manlihood.com/contests


York has been called “The Deadliest Pacifist in US History.” After he single-handedly captured 132 enemy soldiers, they asked him how he did it. He said, "I surrounded them." Alvin York’s testicular fortitude was in his strategic brilliance that completely went against all of the conventional norms of warfare.

He was born in a log cabin near the Tennessee-Kentucky border in 1887, grew up in a family sustained by subsistence farming and hunting.  In 1915, he had an experience with God, and became a devout Christian As World War I engulfed the world, York, now a man of profound faith, sought conscientious objector status upon being drafted.  That pacifist position was challenged though, when he encountered Luke 22:36  "He who hath no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one." Guided by those words from Jesus, York abandoned his initial stance and enlisted in the U.S. Army's 82nd Infantry Division.

The crucible of York's heroism unfolded on October 8, 1918, during the Meuse-Argonne offensive, the final Allied push against German forces. Tasked with seizing German-held positions, York's battalion was under fire - a German machine-gun nest rained bullets upon them. As chaos ensued and the unit's numbers dwindled, York was thrust to the forefront, commanding a squad of merely 17 men.

Undeterred by the odds, York, feeling a divine calling, advanced alone against the machine-gun position. Drawing upon his sharpshooting skills cultivated during Tennessee Turkey hunting days, he systematically neutralized the enemy. The undergrowth around him ablaze with gunfire, York's determination and marksmanship cut through the chaos,with lethal precision.

Ammo was running short. Six Germans charged him with bayonettes, and with only seven shots, he took out all six. As he approached the German commanding officer, the tide of the battle irreversibly turned. Faced with the inevitable, the officer surrendered his entire unit, a total of 132 men, in exchange for his life.

York's story reverberated far beyond the battlefield. Lauded as "the war's biggest hero" by The New York Times and hailed by General John J. Pershing as "the greatest civilian soldier" of World War I, York returned home to a hero's welcome. He leveraged his fame to found a school for underprivileged children, the York Industrial Institute.

In 1941, Hollywood immortalized his bravery in the movie "Sergeant York," starring Gary Cooper. 

When York died in 1964, President Lyndon Johnson eulogized him as "a symbol of American courage and sacrifice," embodying "the gallantry of American fighting men and their sacrifices on behalf of freedom."

Alvin York, A humble man propelled by faith and armed with unyielding determination, became a symbol of courage, defying expectations and inspiring generations. 

His name echoes as a testament to the enduring power of faith, courage, and commitment on the battlefield. Alvin York - a soldier with true Testicular Fortitude.

We had a number of questions posed in the Manlihood ManCave - or private facebook group for men.  - http://facebook.com/groups/manlihoodmancave

  • How can young men conquer loneliness in a new environment, I.e. college. Especially if they are introverted.

  • Why is it so hard to be a man in today's society? 

  • Where should a man find his identity?

  • Is there really such a thing as toxic masculinity

  • Is our country the modern-day equivalent of Sodom and Gomorrah? Also, related question, would our country be better off being under a Christian theocracy?

  • How do you care for the kids when Mom can't/won't?

  • We're always wandering off - mentally, emotionally, spiritually - losing our faith focus, forgetting our promises, getting tempted away... coveting, lusting, fearing, doubting...taking control of situations we have no businesses being in control of or walking away from things God has given us responsibility to oversee, going places we should not, and leaving places - emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically - where we should stay. So - How do we stay?

Responsibility is a Heavier Weight than Privilege | Manlihood ManCast: A Podcast for Men

Responsibility is a Heavier Weight than Privilege | Manlihood ManCast: A Podcast for Men

In today's society, the concept of privilege has become a buzzword. We often hear about male privilege and the advantages that come with it. However, I believe there is a bigger picture that we need to consider. Instead of focusing solely on privilege, we should shift our perspective to the heart of the matter and explore how responsibility can make a real difference in someone's life. In this blog post, we will delve deeper into this topic and discuss why responsibility is a heavier weight than privilege.

JOIN US FOR AN EVENING WITH MACHINE GUN PREACHER - SAM CHILDERSDECEMBER 16th 2023 at 7PM AT OPEN ARMS CHURCH 1289 EAST MAIN STREET, BRADFORD PA

Responsibility Over Privilege:

The notion of privilege has taken on different connotations over the years. It can now be associated with the idea of being handed everything on a silver platter. However, as a man, I believe that manhood is not about privilege but about shouldering responsibility. To be a man is to understand that being stronger physically or having a unique way of thinking comes with the responsibility to care for and support those around us.

Leadership and Service:

One aspect of manhood that aligns with responsibility is leadership. While both men and women can be leaders, for men, it often means taking on the role of leadership in the home. However, it is essential to differentiate true leadership from lordship. True leadership is about serving others and making decisions that benefit those under our care. It is not about demanding obedience or seeking personal privilege but rather guiding and honoring those around us.

Doing the Right Thing:

Another aspect of responsibility is doing the right thing, even when it may be challenging or require sacrificing personal gain. We must strive for morality and set an example for others by upholding ethical values. As men, it is our responsibility to strive for what is right and to ensure that our actions align with our principles. By doing so, we create a positive influence on those around us.

Shifting Perspectives: Earned vs. Deserved:

A crucial shift in mindset is moving away from a sense of entitlement and recognizing that we do not inherently deserve anything. Instead, we should focus on earning the things we receive and being grateful for the blessings that come our way. It's about understanding that responsibility brings more fulfillment than privilege ever could. By working hard and earning what we have, we cultivate gratitude and appreciation for life's blessings.

Conclusion:

Responsibility is a weight that we should willingly carry as men. It surpasses the fleeting nature of privilege and grounds us in our purpose. By embracing responsibility, we not only make a difference in our own lives but also in the lives of those around us. Let us shift our focus from privilege to responsibility and strive to be men who lead through service, do the right thing, and live with gratitude. Together, we can create a better world by recognizing that responsibility is a heavier weight than privilege.

Thank you for reading, and I invite you to join the discussion in the Manlihood Man Cave group on Facebook. Share your thoughts on this topic and let's continue the conversation.

I love you and I'm proud of you.

Quotes from Jordan Peterson | Manly Chunks of Wisdom on the Manlihood ManCast

Quotes from Jordan Peterson | Manly Chunks of Wisdom on the Manlihood ManCast

On this episode of Manly Chunks of Wisdom on the Manlihood ManCast, we’ll feature Quotes from Jordan Peterson. Jordan Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist, cultural critic, and professor of psychology. Born on June 12, 1962, in Alberta, Canada, he gained widespread recognition for his critiques of political correctness and advocacy for free speech. Peterson rose to international prominence with his opposition to compelled speech legislation in Canada. He is also a prolific author, with his best-selling book "Maps of Meaning" and the widely successful "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos." Known for his insightful perspectives on psychology, philosophy, and societal issues, Peterson has become a prominent figure in contemporary intellectual discourse.

At Manlihood, we’re curating chunks of manly wisdom for you. If you’re like a lot of men, you may find yourself short on time for reading long books to look for wisdom that you can apply to your life…. We’re offering you the Campbells Soup version… the best quotes and insights to help inspire you to be an even better man. 

“I don't think that you have any insight whatsoever into your capacity for good until you have some well-developed insight into your capacity for evil.” ― Jordan B. Peterson

“To stand up straight with your shoulders back is to accept the terrible responsibility of life, with eyes wide open. It means deciding to voluntarily transform the chaos of potential into the realities of habitable order. It means adopting the burden of self-conscious vulnerability, and accepting the end of the unconscious paradise of childhood, where finitude and mortality are only dimly comprehended. It means willingly undertaking the sacrifices necessary to generate a productive and meaningful reality (it means acting to please God, in the ancient language).” ― Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

“When you have something to say, silence is a lie.” ― Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

“You're going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and everything you don't do. You don't get to choose to not pay a price. You get to choose which poison you're going to take. That's it.” ― Jordan B. Peterson

“You can only find out what you actually believe (rather than what you think you believe) by watching how you act. You simply don’t know what you believe, before that. You are too complex to understand yourself.” ― Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

“If you can't understand why someone is doing something, look at the consequences of their actions, whatever they might be, and then infer the motivations from their consequences. For example if someone is making everyone around them miserable and you'd like to know why, their motive may simply be to make everyone around them miserable including themselves.” ― Jordan B. Peterson

“If you fulfill your obligations everyday you don't need to worry about the future.” ― Jordan Peterson

“It took untold generations to get you where you are. A little gratitude might be in order. If you're going to insist on bending the world to your way, you better have your reasons.” ― Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

“To suffer terribly and to know yourself as the cause: that is Hell.” ― Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

“If you are not willing to be a fool, you can't become a master.” ― Jordan B. Peterson

“Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.” ― Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos


“And if you think tough men are dangerous, wait until you see what weak men are capable of.” ― Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

George S. Patton | Testicular Fortitude

George S. Patton | Testicular Fortitude

This Episode is Brought To you by HAINES KNIVESFind your new favorite knife at HainesKnives.com/mancast or follow on social media @birdforge 

Testicular Fortitude means having deep seated masculine courage and strength. Balls. Guts. Manlihood. 

Testicular Fortitude on the Manlihood ManCast is where we take a look at men who have beat the odds, men whose courage has left a lasting legacy.

Patton was born into a wealthy family in San Gabriel, California in 1885. As a child, he had difficulty with spelling and reading, which later led historians to speculate that he suffered from dyslexia. Despite his struggles, Patton became an avid reader and developed a passion for military history. He attended the Virginia Military Institute and then transferred to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he repeated his freshman year due to poor grades. However, Patton improved his academic performance and graduated in June 1909, becoming a commissioned second lieutenant in the cavalry.

Patton's courage was first tested when he saw his first combat after leaving Fort Riley. In 1916, Pancho Villa led an attack on Columbus, New Mexico, and Patton joined the staff of Brig. Gen. John J. Pershing in the ensuing punitive expedition into Mexico. While the mission failed to capture Villa, Patton led a raid that killed three of Villa's men, which received much publicity and was notable for being the first time automobiles were used in combat by the US Army.

Patton's courage was again put to the test during World War I. When the US entered the war, Patton joined the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) in France, where he was appointed as the first officer to the newly formed US Army Tank Corps. Patton trained, organized, and even designed the uniforms for the new tank units. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel and later became the temporary colonel, leading the first US tank units into battle during the Saint-Mihiel offensive.

Despite being badly wounded by a machine-gun bullet in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, Patton refused to be taken to the hospital until he had reported to his commander, showing incredible bravery under fire. His bravery earned him the Distinguished Service Cross.

In the years that followed World War I, Patton continued to be a proponent of tank warfare. During World War II, he was promoted to temporary major general and made the commander of the 2nd Armored Division. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Patton organized the Desert Training Center to simulate combat and maneuvers in the harsh North African climate.

Patton's strict discipline, toughness, and self-sacrifice elicited exceptional pride within his ranks, and he was referred to as "Old Blood-and-Guts" by his men. Despite controversies due to his brash actions and mercurial temper, Patton's bravery and testicular fortitude made him one of the greatest military commanders in history. His legacy lives on as an inspiration to all those who admire and value true courage and bravery.

When Henry Darlington and Gerald Mygatt assembled and published the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Prayer Book in 1944, they requested many of our nation’s leaders to contribute a written prayer. Patton submitted a prayer for courage.

I find it interesting, because our picture of Patton’s courage seems to be innate… something he possessed and owned, but if this prayer is to be taken seriously, Patton’s unwavering courage was not drummed up from within, but rather bestowed upon him.

God of our Fathers, who by land and sea has ever led us to victory, please continue Your inspiring guidance in this the greatest of our conflicts.

Strengthen my soul so that the weakening instinct of self-preservation, which besets all of us in battle, shall not blind me to my duty to my own manhood, to the glory of my calling, and to my responsibility to my fellow soldiers.

Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which ensures success in war.

Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived.

If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a man-ner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, O Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind.

Give us the victory, Lord. Amen.

Make America SWOLE Again - Josh Holyfield

Greetings, Manlihood ManCast listeners! In today's episode, we have the honor of hosting an extraordinary guest who has dedicated his life to empowering men and helping them transform not just their bodies but their minds as well. Let's dive into the story of Josh Holyfield.

Brief Bio Introduction:

Josh Holyfield is a man with a remarkable journey that encompasses service, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to empowering others. He is an Army Veteran with over 15 years of experience in deploying and supporting the US Army and Special Operations. His journey into the world of fitness and well-being began in 2005 when he embarked on a weightlifting journey. Simultaneously, he started studying exercise science and nutrition as a personal hobby.

Fitness became more than just a hobby for Josh; it became a lifeline. He used it as a powerful tool to overcome the mental and emotional challenges of serving in the military during combat deployments and, eventually, transitioning into civilian life.

For over a decade after his military service, Josh worked as a federal contractor and federal employee, serving global Special Operations Forces (SOF) operations. In 2019, he took a monumental step and initiated "The Josh Holyfield Project." Since its inception, this project has impacted the lives of over 40,000 men, equipping them with the tools and resources necessary to transform both their bodies and minds. What sets Josh apart is his approach, which focuses on creating sustainable habits rather than short-term results.

In early 2021, Josh made a bold decision to walk away from his secure federal position, fully dedicating himself to helping men all over the world by offering programming and coaching designed to unleash their full potential.

But Josh's journey doesn't stop there. Since 2017, he has achieved significant success by building and scaling two 7-figure online businesses. Furthermore, he works privately with entrepreneurs and advertisers to assist in building and scaling e-commerce and service-based businesses.

Tim's perspective underscores the significance of putting others' needs ahead of our own and striving for selflessness in our lives.

    Next up, filmmaker Morgan Elliot echoes the theme of sacrifice and selflessness. He believes that sacrifice is a fundamental quality of a man, driven by a sense of duty and love for others. While acknowledging the idealistic nature of such behavior, Morgan highlights the profound impact that selflessness can have on our lives and the world around us.

    Stephen Mansfield, author, speaker, and leader, adds his perspective to the discussion.

    Men, Who do you confide in 100%? - That Viral Reddit Post

    Men, Who do you confide in 100%? - That Viral Reddit Post

    Welcome to another captivating episode of the Manlihood ManCast, where we dive deep into issues that affect men's lives and well-being. I'm your host, Josh Hatcher, and we're here to explore a topic that's been making waves on Reddit: confiding in 100%.

    As we gear up for the official launch of Season 7 on October 10th, we're excited to bring you these preview episodes to get you engaged and prepared for the exciting content we have in store.

    Today's episode centers around a viral post on Reddit by a user named Venus Emerald2, who posed a critical question: "Men, who do you confide in 100%?" The responses to this query revealed a striking issue: many men struggle to find someone they can trust wholeheartedly with their thoughts and emotions.

    Josh delves into the responses posted on Reddit, highlighting that several men shared that they don't have anyone they can confide in completely. Some admitted to sharing bits and pieces of their feelings with multiple people rather than entrusting one person with their vulnerabilities.

    Josh recognizes that there's a loneliness epidemic among men, who often feel disconnected and isolated. He underscores the importance of not carrying the weight of one's problems alone. While some men project a tough exterior and pretend to be self-reliant, it's vital to recognize that everyone has weaknesses and moments of vulnerability.

    To address this issue, Josh encourages men to proactively build meaningful relationships where trust is earned on both sides. He emphasizes the need for reciprocity in these relationships, where you're there for others when they need you and vice versa. Building these connections takes time and effort but is crucial for mental and emotional well-being.

    Josh also addresses the digital realm and social media, emphasizing that while online communities can provide support and interaction, genuine connections with real people are irreplaceable. He encourages listeners to seek out local groups, hobbies, or events where they can meet like-minded individuals and begin the process of building friendships.

    In conclusion, Josh urges men to take the initiative in forming strong relationships and being there for others when they need support. By investing in friendships and cultivating trust, we can combat the loneliness epidemic and ensure we have someone to confide in when times get tough.

    I was deeply offended by this statement...

    I was deeply offended by this statement...

    In this episode of the Manlihood ManCast, host Josh Hatcher dives deep into the pivotal moments in his life, driven by a powerful statement that initially offended him but eventually changed his perspective forever. Join us on this journey of self-discovery and the realization that the choices we make shape our reality.

    Josh begins by recounting a financial counseling session he had during a challenging period in his life. The financial counselor uttered a statement that initially offended him deeply: "You are where you are because of the choices you've made." At the time, Josh felt victimized by external circumstances and didn't want to accept that he played a role in his predicament.

    As he reflects on this encounter, Josh delves into the choices he and his wife made early in their marriage, including starting a family at a young age and moving back to his hometown. These choices, while meaningful, came with their own set of challenges and financial strains. The financial counselor's words echoed in his mind, forcing him to confront the reality of his decisions.

    Josh emphasizes that life doesn't always offer immediate rewards for good choices. Sometimes, good choices involve long-term investments, and their positive outcomes may take time to materialize. Additionally, he acknowledges that even good choices can have unexpected consequences, but it's crucial to accept them and adapt.

    The concept of karma, where good choices equate to good outcomes, is challenged, as Josh argues that life is far more intricate than a straightforward equation. He underscores the need for men to take responsibility for their choices and the consequences they bring. Instead of blaming external factors or individuals, men should embrace their power to determine their feelings, reactions, behaviors, and performance in life.

    Josh concludes the episode with his signature sign-off, "I love you, I'm proud of you, and I'll see you next time." He encourages listeners to recognize their sovereignty in the world and to make choices that align with the men they want to become.

    Join us for this thought-provoking episode and explore the profound impact of choices and consequences on your journey towards becoming a better man.

    These 2 Sentences Changed My Life Drastically!

    In this episode of the Manlihood ManCast, your host, Josh Hatcher, reflects on the powerful impact of just two sentences that transformed his life. As we gear up for the launch of Season 7, Josh shares a heartfelt story about his remarkable father, a true embodiment of strength and tenderness.

    Growing up, Josh's dad consistently conveyed his love and pride with the simple words, "I love you, and I'm proud of you." These words became a guiding light, especially during challenging times. Josh's father's legacy serves as the foundation for the Manlihood ManCast's mission: to help men become better husbands, fathers, leaders, and, ultimately, better men.

    Through personal anecdotes and heartfelt insights, Josh emphasizes the importance of expressing love and pride to the people in our lives. He shares how these two sentences held profound meaning when his father was diagnosed with cancer and faced life-changing surgery.

    REWIND: Nick Matiash - The Evolved Man

    REWIND: Nick Matiash - The Evolved Man

    This is an older podcast episode I'm re-sharing as a special rewind edition.

    In this episode, we delve into the profound mission of Nick Matiash, a devoted husband, father, author, and the driving force behind the Evolved Man initiative. His dedication lies in guiding men to combine hard work with emotional growth in both their personal lives and relationships.

    Nick's overarching goal is to awaken men to their true selves, emphasizing the incredible power that emotions hold. Rather than suppressing or succumbing to them, he advocates for men to heal and harness their emotions. It's a call for men to rise above mediocrity.

    Nick firmly believes that by dismantling the emotional barriers within themselves, men can become better partners, fathers, leaders, and excel in their careers. Often, our deepest insecurities hold us back, originating from genuine experiences that demand our reclamation.

    During the discussion, Nick sheds light on the multifaceted role of a husband and father, emphasizing the need for men to nurture their mental and emotional well-being. He acknowledges that men often avoid addressing their mental health and emotions, but he underscores their critical importance in leading from a place of strength and wholeness, as opposed to being burdened by brokenness, trauma, and burnout.

    REWIND: Dr. John Delony on Men and Mental Health

    REWIND: Dr. John Delony on Men and Mental Health

    As we near the launch of Season 6, we'll be highlighting some of our favorite episodes leading up to the big kickoff!

    Men often struggle with mental health and overcoming past trauma. In our society, men are expected to be tough and emotionally resilient, but there is a lack of guidance on how to achieve this. Our Manlihood ManCast interview with Dr. John Delony offers valuable insights for men seeking to work on their mindsets, confront their past, and establish the connections and community necessary for personal growth.

    Understanding Men's Mental Health

    Dr. John Delony is a renowned expert in mental health and wellness, a bestselling author, and the host of The Dr. John Delony Show. With dual PhDs in Counselor Education and Supervision, as well as Higher Education Administration, his extensive background includes two decades of experience as a senior leader at various universities, a professor, researcher, and crisis responder. Today, as a Ramsey Personality, he is dedicated to teaching people how to regain control of their lives in our fast-paced world.

    Unpacking Trauma in Men's Lives

    Dr. Delony sheds light on the concept of trauma in a way that resonates with men. Contrary to popular belief, trauma isn't limited to catastrophic events; it can also stem from neglect, feeling unseen, or enduring challenging experiences in isolation. Regardless of its magnitude, trauma leaves a lasting impact that lingers in our bodies. It's not just a narrative from the past; it manifests as physical reactions in the present, affecting our relationships, spirits, and physical well-being.

    The Ripple Effect of Trauma

    One of the key points Dr. Delony emphasizes is that trauma often leads to behavior that is uncharacteristic of individuals. It erodes our self-worth and prompts us to react excessively to various stimuli, which can, in turn, perpetuate further trauma.

    Samuel Ayres: Embracing the Wild and Redefining "Country"

    Samuel Ayres: Embracing the Wild and Redefining "Country"

    In this captivating episode, we delve into the realms of masculinity, foster parenting, and much more with the remarkable Samuel Ayres. Join us as we explore his journey from suburban upbringing to becoming a single dad raising foster kids, all while forging a profound connection with the outdoors.

    About Samuel Ayres: https://thewildinitiative.com/

    Samuel is a firm believer that being "country" is not defined by where you live or where you were born, but rather by how you live and where your heart truly lies. Although he spent his childhood as a suburban kid in Southern California, Samuel's spirit was always drawn to the untamed beauty of nature. While he had his BB gun, a recurve bow, and even a Davey Crockett coonskin cap, activities like camping, fishing, and horseback riding were more of occasional adventures than daily experiences.

    Fast forward to the present day, and Samuel has undergone a transformative journey. He has bid farewell to the bustling city streets and embraced the wilderness, equipped with his bow and rifle, immersing himself in the world of hunting and the great outdoors.

    The Wild Initiative:

    Samuel is the CEO and founder of The Wild Initiative, LLC, and the TWI Digital Media Group. With over 15 years of experience managing large-scale digital projects and a profound understanding of website design and development, he recognized the need to elevate the digital presence of outdoor brands through TWI Digital Media Group.

    Inspired by his passion for hunting and the desire to share his journey, Samuel established The Wild Initiative brand (previously known as Living Country in the City). This platform provides an opportunity for him to connect with remarkable individuals in the outdoors, engaging in conversations with some of the smartest and most inspiring men and women in the field.

    Samuel's philosophy:

    For Samuel, being "country" transcends geographical boundaries. It is a matter of where your heart lies and how you choose to live your life. He firmly believes that present circumstances should never limit one's passions. Regardless of where you were born or where you currently reside, if your heart is drawn to the wilderness, then you embody the spirit of being "country."

    Join Samuel Ayres on his extraordinary journey of self-discovery, fatherhood, and deep connection with nature by listening to this captivating episode. To learn more about Samuel and his endeavors, visit The Wild Initiative website at thewildinitiative.com.

    Stay tuned for an inspiring conversation that will challenge your preconceptions and ignite your own wild initiative.

    Jim Vance | The Conscious Man: A Journey of Awakening and Transformation

    Jim Vance | The Conscious Man: A Journey of Awakening and Transformation

    Who is Jim Vance?

    Jim Vance is a compassionate and experienced guide who has worked with countless men and women worldwide, helping them transform their lives, health, and relationships. He specializes in working with purpose-driven men who are proactive, self-motivated, and dedicated to personal growth. These men are on a quest to align with their authentic masculine identity, allowing them to make a positive impact in the world through their purpose and live in harmonious relationships.


    Drawing from a wealth of experience and witnessing various levels of identity shifts, Jim possesses the skills to serve individuals at different stages of consciousness. He deeply understands how to overcome unconscious barriers that hinder the alignment of one's identity with their soul's highest self. Jim acknowledges that his own personal journey, with its ups and downs, has shaped him and granted him the wisdom, growth, and embodiment required to impact his clients profoundly.


    Embarking on a Journey of Growth:

    Jim's personal journey can be summed up by the saying, "The journey of 1000 lifetimes begins with one step." With each step he has taken, Jim has evolved from a man living in misalignment and inauthenticity to a conscious individual who awakens in every moment, consciously steering his life toward his vision on a daily basis.


    Jim's upbringing in a "normal" and loving family provided a solid foundation. He cherished family connections, engaged in adventures, and experienced personal growth. His father, a philosophical blue-collar worker, constantly sought the meaning in life and imparted valuable lessons to Jim and his brothers. Meanwhile, his goal-oriented mother instilled in him a drive for excellence, no matter the endeavor.



    Confronting the Unhealed Wounds:

    It was only when Jim reached rock bottom, eyeing a second divorce, facing professional uncertainty, and battling self-destructive patterns, that he realized the pivotal role his own inner transformation played in manifesting the love and success he yearned for. In a dark night of the soul, alone in a parking lot, Jim experienced a profound realization: the fulfillment he sought originated from within, not outside of himself. Thus began his journey of self-healing, learning to love himself unconditionally, processing emotions at a deep level, embodying a healthy masculine frame, and leading his life from a place of self-acceptance and sufficiency.


    Over several years, Jim dedicated himself to this transformative process. He cultivated a fully aligned version of himself, now living the life of his dreams and experiencing the relationships he had always desired. It was during this transformative journey that Jim discovered his calling to support men facing life's challenges or seeking to elevate themselves toward their desired lives.


    Guiding Men Towards Greatness:

    Today, Jim Vance serves men with clarity, consistency, and alignment. He trusts in the person he has become and continues to evolve into. His mission is to inspire men to transcend mediocrity and realign themselves with their inherent greatness. Jim provides a supportive space for men to turn to when their lives seem to be falling apart or when they seek to take the next step toward the life they aspire to.


    Through his guidance and mentorship, Jim empowers men to step into their true potential, embrace their authentic identity, and lead fulfilling lives in alignment with their purpose. He believes that every man has the capacity to rise above societal conditioning and tap into their inner strength, wisdom, and compassion. Jim's commitment lies in facilitating this transformational journey for men, leading them toward lives filled with purpose, authenticity, and deep fulfillment.
