In this podcast, I talk to John and Russell to mark International Men's Day 2020. We talk about International Men's  Day in relation to Masculinity and Mental Health. This is part 2 named THE PATH

About the guests

John was in the US Military for 18 years during which he’s done multiple tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan. John describes himself as “a guy with some life experience that wants to share some of his failures so that you fail better.” He created Men’s Methodology to examine modern masculinity because he feels the rules and landscape or battlefield if you will are different for men and women. John promotes open and honest dialogues to normalize attitudes of weakness and vulnerability for the guys. He also encourages the female perspective from his female followers since it’s critically important to have a holistic discourse about masculinity with both.  Contact John on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mensmethodology/ 

Russell helps men that are feeling stuck develop an unconquerable mindset and learn the fundamentals of neuro-transformation so that they can create extraordinary lives and become the masters of their fate. He believes that our thoughts create our reality and that the key to living the life you want is developing an unconquerable mindset. After going through a personal health crisis that left him near death and unable to walk, he learned the power of the mind to overcome severe tragedy. He left a 25-year career as an Insurance Executive to start Invictus Life, where he now leads men on outdoor adventures and works one-on-one with men to develop their own Unconquerable Mindsets and once again become Masters of their Fate.  Contact Russell on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/russellcr33d/
