PAUL ROBSON (MANIPHESTO) | The Old World and The New Sep 15, 2022

Show notes

Paul Robson is the Co-Founder and Leader of the European men’s work organization Maniphesto, which hosts a podcast, men’s coaching, and men’s events.

I’ve spoken with him twice on his podcast, and I got the sense that beneath our American vs. European cultural differences, we’d find common ground.

Because as I’ve discovered, Americans and Europeans are mirror images of each other.

American externalize what is internal to Europeans, and vice versa.

In that, we have a great deal to share with each other, and also a great deal to learn.

In our conversation Paul and I discussed:

His story from Burning Man and New Age practice to Jordan Peterson and Christianity
Mastering your attention
The difference between efficiency and happiness
The modern separation between the head and the body
The path of the monk vs. the path of marriage
The core of reality being driven by story
And finally, how the story of Christ IS the cosmic story for all.

As I think you'll hear, through the art of speaking and listening, we as men can find the healing, transformative, and mutually-binding truths we're searching for.

I made that choice in the company of men.

GRACE AND THE RENAISSANCE EP.4 with Jonathan West Sep 08, 2022

Show notes

For a man, there's no blessing greater than that of a friend.

Yes of course, a wife, children, a home, and a successful career are important. But the value of friendship to men can't be overstated.

Which is why, for all its flaws, the men's movement has had one unmistakably positive impact: to wake men up to the necessity of brotherhood.

Which is why I'm grateful for this podcast series with my friend, Jonathan West.

This guy means a lot to me, and to say more about that would only take away from the importance of that sentiment.

As I've grown in my faith, Jonathan has become a father and small business owner, and the race war in America has died down, at least for now, we've started talking about a broader range of topics, not just race.

So we decided to change the title to reflect that change: Grace and The Renaissance.

In our conversation we discussed:

Ancient aliens and Angelology
The red pill and materialism
Post-Mil vs. Pre-Mil Philosophy
What it means to have an unaskable questions
God as the great author
The founding of his new small business, Suburban Farm Guy

ANNELIESE aka FEMININE NOT FEMINIST | Breaking the Curse Sep 01, 2022

Show notes

Anneliese is a wife, mother, podcast host, and the brilliant voice behind one of the most confident and outspoken Christian values-based accounts I follow, Feminine Not Feminist.

Her Instagram page has grown to more than 140,000 followers in just two years.

Her success proves that feminism is failing, and that women are ready for a new way forward, The Great Reconciliation.

But that doesn't mean the hurdles to get there are over. Because everything in our culture incentivizes women to disrespect and disregard men.

This is how feminism exploits an aspect of women's psyches that was first described, as far as I know, in a really good book.

Which is why Anneliese’s content and this podcast should challenge every woman listening to take a hard look at herself and her own soul.

In our conversation we discussed:

The history of Feminine Not Feminist
Some of her early challenges with marriage
How she found peace with being a woman
The deep roots of bitterness
The CS Lewis “Space Trilogy”
The human longing to be understood
And finally, how to change your husband ;)

PASTOR DAVID ENGELHARDT | A Wall and A Sword Aug 25, 2022

Show notes

David Engelhardt is a father, attorney, Turning Point USA board member, and the author of the new book "Good Kills: God, Good, and the Sword."

BUY "GOOD KILLS" HERE: https://amzn.to/3QQ3WSj

He's also the pastor of Kings’ Church in New York City, and if you can think of a tougher American city to be a pastor in, during a more challenging decade, I'd love to hear it.

That experience has forged him into one of the boldest, most outspoken preachers I've been blessed to encounter.

The word that comes to mind is "bellicose", which the Oxford Dictionary defines as "demonstrating aggression and willingness to fight."

And I hope you'd agree that we need much more of that fighting spirit in Christendom, for the times that are up ahead.

In our conversation we discussed:

An historical survey of fatherlessness
The horror of the destruction of the patriarchy
Why a man needs to tend his garden
Women, modesty and sensuality
The definition of a fool
Denominational battles within the church
And finally, the book of revelation and how it applies to postmillennialism.

As you’ll hear, Pastor David is a true fighter. And if you are too, or if you want to be, have I got the pastor for you.

DINO aka THE ART OF PURPOSE | Spiritual Dopamine Aug 18, 2022

Show notes

Dino, aka The Art of Purpose, is famous as the millionaire educator who’s turning Twitter into his personal art gallery. But he’s much more than that.

He’s also a husband, a new father, a former public school teacher, and a man who’s made success on Twitter possible for hundreds of students, including me.

In fact, the most important decision I ever made with regard to my relationship with social media was signing up for his programs.

Because social media is a big like a tidal wave that’s swamped the land masses of our lives.

Most people are living in the flood. But Dino can teach you how to swim.

In our conversation we discussed:

Dino’s background in the arts and music
How anxiety is THE weapon used against society today
The limitations of reactionary red pill culture
Why listening to classical music is like time traveling
Why Alex Jones is a psyop
How you get to play the game you decide to create
The differences between Instagram and Twitter, and his guidance on how to be successful on both platforms.

You know how they say, “If the product is free, you’re the product?”

It turns out two can play at that game.

Kahlil Gibran – ”Defeat” | POETRY FOR MEN Aug 13, 2022

Show notes

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) is the author of the classic “The Prophet” and is bestselling American poet of the 20th century.

He’s honored in Arabic literature as one of the greats of their Romantic era. However, in America his critical reception has been much more mixed.

While the public loves his work, critics celebrate him far less than his contemporaries, such as Robert Frost.

But no one cares what elitist critics think. Beauty is a right, like air, water, and freedom of speech. Our tastes matter.

In this poem of paradoxes, Gibran discovers the joy in defeat, the flaws of victory, and his own potential for triumph, hiding in the unlikeliest of places.

May his masculine vision of the noble pursuit of purpose inspire us all.

ALEKS SVETSKI | Responsibility Go Up Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

Aleks Svetski is the co-author of the UnCommunist Manifesto, as well as the Founder of the Bitcoin Times and the mobile Bitcoin app Amber.

BUY THE UNCOMMUNIST MANIFESTO HERE:

https://amzn.to/3PXEqKq
https://www.uncommunist.com/

Aleks has become well-known in the Bitcoin space for his outspoken, direct, and aggressive defense of Bitcoin, making him a so-called "toxic maximalist.”

Because he understands how important Bitcoin is from a MORAL perspective.

And his new book "The UnCommunist Manifesto" is a rallying war cry for men and women to build a society on the back of a currency that cultivates us towards the good.

Yes, Number Go Up is good.
But Responsibility Go Up is better.
And Communism Go Down might be the best.

In our conversation we discussed:

His hard-knock upbringing and "Steve Jobs" moment
How Bitcoin is both an attractor and accelerant for personal growth
Time preference and morality
How savings is the cornerstone of civilization
Bitcoin's new RGU technology
Bushido, the Way of the Warrior
His new book, The UnCommunist Manifesto.

What if we stopped saying, "Money is the root of all evil." What if we could say in our hearts, "Money made us good."

That's the case that Aleks makes, so hope you'll hear him out.

KEN CURRY | Justice, Mercy, and Grace Jul 29, 2022

Show notes

Ken Curry is a marriage and family therapist in Colorado, as well as a men’s group leader, husband, father, grandfather, and author.

I also consider him an elder who’s made meaning out of his life experiences, turned victories and defeats to wisdom, and allowed struggle to teach him the meaning of joy.

Ken is also a Christian, a devout believer who incorporates faith into his broad and deep perspective, or perhaps his perspective is built around it.

Which makes him rare in the men's movement, Christianity, and as an American man of his generation.

If you've listened to my podcast before you might imagine I had high expectations for this episode. They were all exceeded, and you'll hear it.

In our conversation we discussed:

Masculine Presence and Voice
Becoming an internally referenced man
Sin, Justice, Grace, Mercy, Redemption, and Reconciliation
The definition of hell
The difference between what moves in us, and what is unmoved
The distorted message of Original Sin.

Some men will feel blessed by this conversation. Others will be challenged. A few might even be upset.

And to that I say, good. Because this is not your standard Manosphere dialogue.

But I believe this is where we're going, and more importantly this is where we need to go.

JON DU TOIT | Exiting Babylon Jul 21, 2022

Show notes

Jon Du Toit is a husband, father, and musician in the new band Electrum Fire.

WATCH THE VIDEO FOR "EXIT BABYLON" HERE:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aYGUxMQX0U

But you may know Jon better from his work as a filmmaker.

He was the co-director of the Mike Cernovich documentary "Hoaxed" and has worked on projects with Stefan Molyneux, Lauren Southern, and InfoWars.

Jon is also Canadian. He saw dark clouds gathering for his country in 2020 and had to flee with his wife, children, and parents to Mexico, on the Yucatan peninsula.

Imagine what that might do to you as a man, having to leave your home country and almost everything you knew and loved.

Would you be able to adapt? Could you even make something beautiful out of it?

Jon had to answer these questions for himself. May we all learn something from his example.

In our conversation we discussed:

His history as a filmmaker
Networking and professionalism at the highest levels of world achievement, including with Jordan Peterson and more
Firearms idolatry, or how some men make their guns into gods
The limited usefulness of the Manosphere, and what might be coming next
His new musical project Electrum Fire
His experience moving to Mexico with his family, and his journey as a husband, father, and artist to rebuild.

I hope you'll join me in honoring Jon for his bravery and decisiveness in this conflict, and his courage to transform it into art
