He will tell you his most important roles are of father and husband - this episode deconstructs how societies “no score” leagues are ripping the fundamental fabric of our societies and with our children. This is not a “First Take” sport talk episode, but instead, a philosophical discussion on why competition is not just wanted but an absolute necessity to the evolution of man.

There’s nothing like family…. But what if the family is nothing? Life does not guarantee us that “blood is thicker than water” will always hold true. In this latest episode of NIL - Jeremy discusses the value and importance of creating and nurturing the “nucleus family”. From the examples of his father, The Father and the family built where; the last name and blood line have nothing to do with the bond created. Before you listen to this episode we challenge you to do this - next you’re out at a restaurant; take a look around and count how many families have their heads into their electronics. Count them. Take note of them. The importance and value of the foundational family to platonic family are broken down in this podcast in ways I couldn’t have thought until I spoke with Jeremy Cooley.

There are years in our lives that just stick out more than others for a myriad of reasons. 2021 has been a year of that nature for us here at NIL. Why? For one, this is our birth year - 2021 saw the founding of Navigating The Intentional Life and the rollercoaster of amazing that it’s been in its inception. But this isn’t about looking back, it’s about what this year has done for the next. The intentional actions taken that have already made ‘22 a bigger and brighter year for the boys and me. Listen along - I hope you enjoy this jog back through this past year of massive change for us and grab some inspiration to close out this year strong. This is our first ever New Years Eve podcast…. Enjoy!

Episode 16 takes a good look at one’s ability to focus and grasp self- leadership, self-taught discipline, and the self realization one must go through to initiate the process of change in their lives. Chris Pick, creator of The Bearded Report and has successfully released his first E-book while building content across multiple platforms in just less than a year. In this time he left his job. Left a career to pursue a path of financial sovereignty and initiate the life he wanted to create for himself. Enjoy this awesome ass insight from the one and only, Chris Pick.

Early abandonment from divorce led to bullying, to the creation of a persona to safe guard and wall up from the demons of early childhood traumas, to a time frame of life which confusion ran ramped with bad decisions. Corey has had to transform his life time and time again and each time has become stronger, has learned instead of lost. His story is of grit, passion, compassion and an unwillingness to fail all while in pursuit of what his manhood really meant to him. This is the Transformative Man.

Episode 14 brings THE Tanner Guzy to the show. The author of Appearance Of Power breaks down the role of style and what it says about a man. What it presents to the world around him. To his in-group or tribe it’s a representation of the tangible and intangible of the man. Excited to sit with this one and even more excited that you as a listener get the chance to hear Tanners message through NIL.

Pastor Caleb Gordon is a warrior; a warrior for his family, for the foundational elements lacking from today’s nucleus family. He is a rebel in Christ. Carrying the flag to rebel against societal mandates and propaganda. He demands we rebel against burying faith and running from it. Listen and open up to the message Caleb is delivering.

There’s strength and determination, but without fear and risk the prior can not be measured. In this episode we sit down with Dominique as she unfolds her journey to becoming the power and independent woman she’s become. What that fire looked like burning brightly, and when it was simmered and timid. Dominique has a unique ability to motivate and inspire from a strong foundation of conservative humility. Take a listen.
