Episode: 076 Dr. Cory Ostroot Feb 21, 2019

“Sometimes there is just shit you can’t talk about. Our bodies are literally trying to protect us. When you’ve had some traumatic experience and you don’t know how to talk about it, breathwork can move you through some heavy shit so you can feel lighter on the other side.”

This week’s conversation is with Dr. Cory Ostroot, a Naturopath and founder of The Healing Couple. As a young boy Cory watched his mother’s health decline dramatically. While being treated in the traditional health system her condition worsened. Cory became skeptical of the current health system and when a Naturopathic doctor returned his mother to health, he found a calling and pursued alternative medicine. Dr. Ostroot and his partner Jessica also lead breathwork courses with the intension of taking people deeper into themselves to find stillness, confidence and clarity.

Using breathwork to heal
The art of letting go
Plant medicine

Episode 074: Timothy Wenger Feb 07, 2019

On this week’s episode we are asking the question: If you had to describe what it means to be a man in one word, what would it be?

Our guest this week, Timothy Wenger is a Photographer/Blogger who created the digital project The Man Effect. Timothy travelled around asking men to sum up what it means to be a man in one word and documented the results.

“There is this desire and need in every man to have someone care about them and to give them input because every man is terrified by the things they are facing.”

In this conversation:

The limits of what our fathers can teach us
The role of mentors in shaping men
How true mentors show up
Our fear of being explicit, direct and open in life and in relationships with men
The challenge of the term Masculinity
Macho-jerks, spineless-wimps and the ground in between

Episode 073: Herb Stevenson Jan 30, 2019

“How old do you have to be before you give yourself permission to be who you fully are? Not who you’ve been told you are, but who you really are.”

This week’s guest Herb Stevenson is an author, management consultant and executive coach with over twenty years of experience. Herb runs a twice monthly men's circle, plus a year long Natural Passages program. “Much of who men are is often closed-off at an early age. Natural Passages creates a safe container for each men's journey back to his full self.”

In this conversation:

The challenge of getting close to our fathers. “Most fathers want a relationship with their sons, but don’t know how the hell to do it.”
Shifting parental relationships from Child-Adult to Adult-Adult by being direct and clear about what you want.
How to answer the most important question: What do I really want?
Gaining a sense of self through being in nature.

Episode 072: Aaron Blaine Jan 23, 2019

A quote from Terry Real: "To be a great marani (warrior), when the moment calls for fierceness, nobody fucks with you. And when the moment calls for tenderness, you are not tender. You are very, very tender. And a great marani knows which is which."

This podcast is a response to the recent Gillette ad that has caused a very strong backlash and stirred immense cultural conversation about what it means to be a man, the moral role of brands, and clearly pointed to a seemingly fundamental societal division.

Our perspective at Evryman is that the black and white approach to this topic is too easy and that there is a straightforward but challenging middle road. Instead of prescribing that men are either aggressive and dominant or soft and compassionate, we believe the honest reality is that both and all are true and necessary. There are times that life calls forth different skillsets and virtues, and we believe we should all have access to the whole spectrum of possibility as a man.

Episode 071: Sean McCormick Jan 16, 2019

This week’s episode starts off with a challenge: Are you willing to ask for help? As men we can fall into the trap of thinking we are islands, alone, isolated. But we are not wired to operate alone. So, our challenge is for you to think of something you could use help with and to reach out to the person you think can best help you.

On this episode we are sharing the mic with Sean McCormick, host of the Optimal Performance Podcast. Dan answers questions on the origins of Evryman, letting his gut be a guide, and taking a risk on starting a totally new life path.

Episode 070: Life and Death with Chris Eberhart Jan 03, 2019

What if you were told that you only have six months to live? What would be important? What would you do? Chris Eberhart was told just that this year. His insight my be something to take to heart, because in the end we are all terminal, just without a projected end date. Originally from Michigan Chris is considered a whitetail bowhunting expert and has written four books on that subject, two of which are considered hunting classics. After graduating from Michigan State University he has spent most of his life splitting time between the U.S.A. and Germany. In Germany he built a successful swim school business, working primarily with young children, but also with babies, pregnant woman, and giving fitness classes. This was a good balance to hunting heavily across North America, Europe, and Africa. He is also a previous collegiate runner, and a lifelong athlete, with a passion for trail running. For the last seven years he has been the Chief Editor of Hunter’s Path Hardcover book-journal, which is the world’s finest hunting publication, and can legitimately claim to be the National Geographic of hunting/adventure press. Currently, he lives near Freiburg, Germany, and has a teenage daughter. He is fighting cancer.

*This episode was recorded in late 2018, Chris has sent an update on his health:

I also wanted to give you a brief health update: Since we did the podcast recording my health has improved significantly, at least for now. I got the green light to start working out, and have gained almost fifteen pounds of muscle back in two months! Right now I feel like nothing was ever wrong. My doctors strongly suggested that I put on pounds for whatever is upcoming, so I have been working out like my life depends on it. It’s all such a strange situation…

Episode 069: A Sex Journal with Caleb and Levina Dec 18, 2018

Find Evryman: Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

Caleb Spaulding and Levina Li are dating. They met in Brooklyn early this year because Caleb's men's group was meeting in Levina's home. They quickly recognized that they were each other's "person" and they have a beautiful and synchronistic story.

Born out of Levina's insatiable desire for sexy DATA, they began to journal about their sex. They used a simple structure and it became a practice that had fruit to bear for days. Big win. Lots of good data.

What has emerged is a simple tool for couples to use to get real about sex--which most people relate to like the sun--they really like it but can't look right at it. This is a tool to be honest about one of the most impactful parts of life.

You can find out more about the journal at asexjournal.com and you can follow along and see some great images at instagram.com/asexjournal.

This episode shows that things might be changing in all areas of men's lives.

He was lost and was fortunate to have the guidance and experiences to get his crap together. Now his passion is to do the same for others.

At Evryman we believe deeply that we need and can support our young men with more honesty, more clarity, and more connection. We envision a world where men of all ages have mentors and supportive peers. We believe that we don't have to do it alone.

Episode 024: Alysse Doty #metoo Oct 18, 2017

This episode is an intimate conversation with my amazing wife Alysse Doty. She boldly and courageously shares her experience with sexual abuse, assault and rape, and how it has affected her life up until this day.

Men, we have an opportunity right now to slow down, be quiet, and listen to the pain of women who are sharing. We have an opportunity to sit with that pain and that discomfort all the way, and let it impact us. We can start online by reading women's stories, and we can speak with candor and vulnerability to those we love, those we've hurt, and those we want to protect. We can take responsibility and we can work for change, but first of all it starts with feeling the impact of whats real.

Episode 022: Scott Harrison of Charity: Water Oct 03, 2017

Scott Harrison founded the massively successful non-profit Charity: Water, whose mission it is to bring clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. You can donate to Charity: Water directly through www.charitywater.org/evryman.

Charity: Water devised a cutting edge donation structure where your donations go 100% to the cause, with complete transparency. They attain this by recruiting a separate set of donors to cover overhead, allowing every donation to go directly to building wells and changing people's lives for the better.

Scott's organization is inspiration but his own life story is something from a storybook. Scott is a modern day prodigal son, after a restrictive childhood he turned 18 and began an epic 10 years of partying. As a club promoter of the highest level, he drank and smoked and marauded all around the globe, until one day it stopped working for him. In an almost magical-turn around, he spent a year donating his time for a non-profit in Africa and completely changed his life. Scott's relationship with faith, his involvement in an informal men's group, and his sheer ambition make his story one for all of us to learn from.
