It was an honor talking to Jason Skeesick (military man, entrepreneur, coach  and podcast host).  We talk about the education system, stepping outside of comfort zones and how he lives his life with a spear and clover as his guide and uses that to inspire others.

Anthony and I give a baker's dozen pieces of advice (inspired by graduation ceremonies, Bruce Springsteen and Alice Cooper).

1. You are not your thoughts, you are not your feelings, you are not your experiences
2. Space provides clarity - breathe
3. How you do anything is how you do everything
4. Do the right thing when no one is looking
5. Other people's opinions of you have nothing to do with you 
6. Look for opportunities and bring your passion
7. Stand for what you believe in, even if you are standing alone
8. Find joy in the little moments
9. The comfortable road is the path to mediocrity
10. It takes tremendous strength to be vulnerable
11. Go one step further than you thought you could go
12. Be the role model you needed in your life
13. ?

What a cool experience, sitting next to my son Denny as my cohost, interviewing a man who wrote a book about reconnecting with his father!  I am grateful for every minute I spend with my son, but having him next to me during a podcast is a very impactful experience.  In this episode we speak with military veteran and author, Mike Liguori about his experience in the marines, his battle with depression and how reconnecting with his father changed his life.  

After being on the brink of suicide induced by years of PTSD from fighting in Iraq with the Marines, a series of supernatural interventions saved Mike Liguori’s life. His military service and deployments to a war zone were not by accident.

He had engaged and often ran away from his enemies long before and after the war within the shadow of his past.

His most recent book, The Road Ahead and Miles Behind: A Story of Healing and Redemption Between Father and Son chronicles the story of a cross-country road trip taken during the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic with one of the darkest shadows of his past, his relationship with his father.

The Road Ahead and Miles Behind shares the intricate yet beautiful nature between them as they look to reconcile their differences and amend a challenging past. The book is full of inspiring moments and perspectives that demonstrate the healing power of hard conversations with those you love.

It's a story that will remind you it's never too late to have something with your parents.

His journey of service and writing has been featured on the San Jose Mercury, Huffington Post Live, and Conscious Magazine.

This episode was a game changer for me.  I have been following along with what Ed Nissen has been doing for a while, so having the opportunity to interview him was quite an honor.  i talk to Ed about masculinity, relationship dynamics, archetypes, personality types, how to recognize our strengths and so much. more.  

Ed Nissen is a psychotherapist and owns a multi-clinician therapy practice in the Charlotte, NC area. He generally specializes in empowering people to be the ultimate version of themselves by optimizing one’s personality and how they create meaning in life.

However, Ed’s niche emerged organically due to desperately needing to transform himself as a man in a marriage. This transformation gave rise to his select specialty of male psychological development in the context of long-term relationships. Carving out such a niche led him to author a book manuscript on the matter that he is now proposing for publication.

Ed does not consider himself very competent at what he does because he believes competency is relative to the knowledge one aims to master. He perpetually grapples with abstract ideas and complex problems, and the subject matter of his book is one of them. The whole idea of male psychological development in relationships–as he states the problem–is deeply abstract and its complexity very nuanced. Therefore, he believes it would be fallacious to act as if he is competent on the matter.

However, this attitude towards competency allows him to openly explore the ideas and concepts with the curiosity necessary for acquiring a profoundly nuanced understanding of the male psychological development in relationships–relative to most who are considered knowledgeable about it. Between his personal and clinical experience—and his study of the research—his quest for the truth of such a matter is unparalleled by most. Ed believes there is much more to learn on the topic. While he does not consider himself the authority on masculinity and relationships, he hopes his work can be groundbreaking enough to advance the world of mental health for men.

We know it is a going to be a great podcast when it feels like a few guys hanging out, busting balls, shooting the shit and getting real.  It was an absolute honor to chop it up with Cameron and JP (creators of the Shepherds of Men Movement).  These men are doing extremely important work - Redefining masculinity & calling MEN to something greater! 

Cameron and JP believe that when we get the MEN right we get the world right! Because of this belief, they created Shepherds of MEN in an effort to eliminate weakness and entitlement in MEN. What makes their message unique is that, although they come from drastically different backgrounds, their core principles have given them a unified voice that is needed more than ever to pave the way for a fundamental change in today's culture. 

What do Cameron and JP believe?

Cameron Brown - To be an example, in all areas of my life, for the next generation of men. To live a life that is edifying to my Creator and to my family and to all those that may be influenced by my actions and my attitude. To be a servant leader, putting others before self. To show real love. Not the weak, emotional kind. The kind that stretches people outside of their comfort zone so they can live a life of greatest and then pass that on to the next generation.

Josh Persons - My purpose in life is to inspire and empower other men through a multitude of avenues. I intend to raise the standards of what a real man is while creating an outlet for young men to see what good looks like. This work will create a culture where men take responsibility and pride in the domain which they have been blessed to rule.

This was a fun discussion with one of the most interesting guests we have had on the Building Men Podcast.  Keith Yackey is  an open, honest, authentic, badass human being.  We talk about the way we show up as men, relationship dynamics, transactional relationships and sing a little karaoke in the process.

Keith Yackey  is the founder and creator of MarriedGame.com.  When his wife left him 5 years ago he realized that he was the problem and that his wife was no longer attracted to him.  Since getting her back, Keith has dedicated his life to teaching men how to get their wives to want to have sex with them again. By doing one simple thing, becoming the most attractive version of themselves.

This was such an impactful conversation with an amazing human being.  Joseph Kajy shares his story of drug addiction and crime and how he used his pain to rewrite his story and begin to help others.   Joseph went from being the world's worst criminal to a successful businessman who uses his experience to mentor young men who are going through their own struggles.  

Joseph is a father, husband, business owner, and mentor for men in recovery. Joseph struggled with drug addiction from the age of 14 to the age of 26 . He served two separate prison sentences because of the drug use. Through a deep dive into understanding who he was a man, and how to deal with his emotions, Joseph now has 5 years of continuous sobriety. He now runs a multi million dollar fence company in Jacksonville, FL and is married with 5 kids. Joseph continues to share his story of inspiration and hope to give other men permission to share their stories and struggles.
