Every man has an ancient Wild Man within. The question is, how do you let him out of the cage?
The truth is, feminism, statism, & safetyism have been cages for men to live with wild man, or king, energy. Men are coddled, overprotected, and taught to be risk averse. But is this always a good thing? The same feminists who hate men also cry, "Where are all the GOOD men?" "You neutered them," we respond.
Against that backdrop, how do you find your golden, God-given gifts and put them to use? How do you find the wild within and set it free? It's all about that Wild Man Energy.

We'll discuss this from Robert Bly's perspective in Iron John.

In this episode, I talk with Dan Berkholder, a mountain man, beast killer, and all around great guy (and close friend) about our success with elk hunting season out West. We also talk about Robert Bly's "Iron John," why men need to release the wild man, experience danger, and taste meaningful risk.
Why is it that deep play is a form of rest? Why does strenuous activity relieve stress and restore health? How can a gang of men reduce the load of work exponentially? How is hunting an initiatory rite loaded with symbolic, ritualistic meaning? We talk about this and more from two epic elk hunting trips.

The Secret Life of Fruit Trees Aug 15, 2022

Show notes

Send us a text!

The average fruit tree takes between three and seven years, on average, to produce fruit after first planting. Whether you want plum, pear, apple or apricot, it's at minimum a multi-year investment. In a world driven by the fast-paced industrial time clock, Google calendars broken down into five-minute segments, and a consumer-driven culture that wants what it wants and wants it yesterday, the enduring patience of fruit trees has much to teach us.

Doing the Ashes Work Aug 08, 2022

Show notes

Send us a text!

From Virgil to Dante to Dumas, the greats have understood a major thematic element in the story of masculinity…The descent into darkness. There must be descent. To find the golden branch of the ancient tree, men must descend into suffering, eating ashes, grief, death. Men must learn, as Robert Bly says, the season of “eating ashes.” We'll talk about that in today's episode.
