In this episode of The Alchemy Podcast, host Doug Cartwright sits down with Jimmy Rex—entrepreneur, real-estate leader, and founder of the men’s community We Are The They

They explore the shift from achievement to fulfillment, how to recognize “enough,” building presence in relationships, and practical ways to reduce digital distraction. 

Jimmy shares practices for tuning into intuition (silence, nature, solitude), the power of being with uncomfortable emotions, lessons from David Deida on deep presence, and a blueprint for creating real male friendships through vulnerability and shared high-adventure experiences.
