A Must Listen: Men and Boredom Jul 12, 2022

Show notes

Men are made for adventure. Yet so many guys are “over-domesticated.” You know how it goes: gradually, the pressures and duties of daily life begin to take over. We spend our time taking care of our homes, families, cars, and careers, while we neglect attending to our inner zeal and passion. Men, you need to have regular activities in your life that force excitement and adventure upon you. Every man at every age needs to look at his life, identify the boredom, and build in the excitement, passion, and adventure that he was made for. If you don’t do this you are putting yourself and those around you at tremendous risk. This episode originally aired on March 13, 2018.

The Power of Calm Jun 28, 2022

Show notes

The great principles and truths that guide us to success and effective living are often quite simple. Stephen shares a basic concept that has changed his life: maintaining a sense of calm. One of the gifts that men can give to the world and themselves is calmness. A good man is centered. He is connected to God. He does not get rattled by everything that happens. He believes in destiny, and he steps into every new phase of life or challenge with a sense of calm. He believes that he is where he’s meant to be. He is confident that he possesses resources beyond his own. Live your life from this calm core. Building Your Band of Brothers is now available in paperback on Amazon for the first time.

Show notes

No matter your age or health, you need to make the habit of getting an annual medical exam a regular discipline in your life. Many of the diseases that can kill or seriously debilitate you are not things that you can detect yourself. Yeah, it might be uncomfortable. No, you’re not going to like it. But routine annual exams are a crucial part of being a great man. You owe it to yourself and your family. Tune in as Stephen talks about some critical tests and screenings that every man should discuss with his doctor.

Alfred and Tristan in Our Souls Jun 14, 2022

Show notes

In one of Stephen’s favorite films, Legends of the Fall, there are two brothers who embody different spirits of manhood. Alfred is refined. Tristan is wild. There’s a scene where Alfred turns to Tristan and says, “I followed all of the rules, man’s and God’s, and you followed none of them. And they all loved you more.” Men live in tension between innate wildness and societal rules. Yes, rules are necessary for society to function. The problem is that a man can completely lose his wildness in our society. Keep both Alfred and Tristan alive in your soul.

Culture Building and Stories Jun 07, 2022

Show notes

Build the culture around you through the stories you tell. Words are the fast-track in culture building. Weed out the dark and disillusioning, and fill in with the inspiring and encouraging. This summer, Stephen challenges you to evaluate what you’re talking about on a regular basis. Are you constantly griping or mired in negativity? What are you telling most often, and what does that encourage to grow in your life? Words matter. Learn to use them, especially the power of story, to shape culture.

Show notes

The Fuel of Failure May 24, 2022

Show notes

After the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters, NASA became very risk-averse in their corporate culture. As a result, they didn’t have any major failures. They also capped innovation. SpaceX, on the other hand, failed and failed often. Elon Musk built a corporate culture that turned those failures into fuel for growth. Similarly, when you attempt something daring and new, there will be failures. But the “perfect” is the enemy of progress. You’re going to screw up. Mistakes will happen. And that’s fine. The difference is in how you react. Examine your mistakes. Learn from them. Use them to build noble manhood in your life.

Digging Holes in Your Life May 17, 2022

Show notes

Men need both a team and a purpose or they will go about digging holes in their lives. Going it alone, they will allow themselves to be destroyed by addiction, excess pleasure, and past traumas. They will crash. Stephen illustrates the point by sharing a story he recently heard Bedros Keuilian tell. Men, find a band of brothers and get to work on fixing the problematic areas of your life before a blow-up. Better to avoid the crash than have to skillfully fix it afterwards.

Stuck in Rebellion? May 10, 2022

Show notes

Many a man has discovered the power of rebellion in his teenage years. It feels good. It makes you feel alive. A little bit of opposition and rebellion can even be healthy. But don’t get stuck there. If you allow rebellion to become a primary force in your life, you live constantly in a state of reaction. When rebellion and anger thrive in your soul, you are not able to pursue a destiny or take hold of a higher cause. You’re too busy reacting. If this is an area where you’ve struggled, tune in, and rise above. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
