KINGS, KIDS & COURAGE

Making the decision to operate as a king begins with you. Your host, Joel Portmann, expands on the previous episode’s topic of building the kingdom that we want by wrapping up the obstacles that inevitably get in our way. These obstacles prevent us from becoming the kings that we are meant to be. We were chosen to be king and with that comes a great responsibility to keep that kingdom established.

Do you have the kingdom that you want? Why not? Instead of finding the answer from others, your host of Kings, Cowards and Kids, Joel Portmann declares that the answer is within us all. It requires facing pain instead of sedation in order to grow the kingdom that we want; it’s not going to simply come to us without putting in the work. Living in your masculinity to protect and provide becomes the foundation to build your kingdom as it brings the power that you need to operate as a king.

How do you discipline your kids? There’s a basic principle that Joel Portmann covers in today’s episode that tackles the controversial topic of disciplining today’s children. And it’s messy. In fact, according to Joel, discipline today has become mutated from what is needed in society, usually coming out of an abusive or painful childhood and we’re seeing the effects of physical, emotional, mental and financial pain.

Arrogance is a very misunderstood word, especially when building our kingdoms. In today’s episode with Joel Portmann, he tackles the willingness to build up the walls of our kingdom to keep it secure. Instead of being bombarded by others demands and expectations, we are able to be responsible in who we allow through our doors. This allows us to eliminate the opinions of others by doing what we need to do within ourselves that supports us as a king.

We are all energetically connected, which comes in both a masculine and feminine form. Joel Portmann explains in today’s podcast that one is not better than the other, but they operate very differently. As a kid, we begin to operate more from a feminine or masculine place within, but very quickly society tells us if the way in which we operate is acceptable or not.

Apprentice Kings need to be asking themselves every single day, “Where am I hiding?” When a man is able to see himself as a king, he no longer feels like he needs to hide from that which he fears, which is covered in today’s episode with your host, Joel Portmann. More than anything, a king that no longer hides is someone that the rest of the people in his kingdom can rely on, because he is doing the work that is necessary in order to become the hero he is by taking care of four core areas in his life.

The surest way to accept your birthright as a king is to take away the reason to lie. In today’s episode with Joel Portmann, the topic of seeing ourselves as kings happens when we are uncompromisingly willing to be honest with ourselves and those around us. That is when we are able to operate as the most powerful man in the room, because we no longer have anything to hide.

If you haven’t watched it in a while, go see The Lion King and see yourself as Simba, recognizing that you have a responsibility to protect your kingdom that you were given at birth, regardless of whether or not you feel that you’re worthy of it or not. If you are not seeing yourself as a king, allow yourself to look back and see where the guilt and shame came from.

A king has power, servants and riches, which every boy is intrigued with. We all want to be kings! And yet so many are told that we’re selfish to desire the fairy tale to come true. The host of Kings, Kids and Courage Podcast, Joel Portmann, shares in today’s episode that every man that desires to become a king of his kingdom is capable of doing that, IF he’s willing to put in the necessary work that’s required.

Every child is born with almost unlimited courage, and yet so few maintain any significant amount into and through adulthood. Joel Portmann, the host of the podcast, who coaches and mentors kids, parents and driven men, takes us on real, raw, yet fun journey of the “ultimate art” of forging loving kids with character and courage, and the journey of Kings who live in their true liberated nature and love, lead and build a legacy from that place.
