Renovating Masculinity

All of us are imprisoned by thoughts & mindsets from time to time. 

A simple way to process whether these thoughts are profitable is to ask yourself: "An I am inmate or a convict?"

Anthony explains what these terms mean in hopes that it helps us understand where we are and how we can rethink, remove and replace the mindsets that hold us hostage.

There are families in Uvalde, TX that have an empty bed in their homes tonight, never to be filled with bed time stories, tickle fights, or prayers. Is there a right way to respond in situations that are this horrific and evil?

We have definitely seen the wrong way to respond over the past several days that include our country's highest officials. The real question is: is there a solution that goes beyond a passing another law? The answer is not simple. But we do believe that, in part, we have failed our boys. We, as a society, have caused so much mental fragility, social isolation and confusion, it's no wonder anxiety, depression and a loss of hope runs rampant amongst our young. We believe that until the collective community of men take responsibility to raise righteous, capable and noble young men, we will continue to watch our boys burn the village down, just to feel its warmth.

Leadership is a fluid and elusive skill set, always evolving and adapting in response to those you lead. Your personal leadership style (if you are wise) is always shifting and growing as you enter different seasons of life.

Rage, sarcasm and abdication are 3 of many LAZY @#$% leadership styles that we dig into here: styles that will make those you lead frustrated with a lack of personal progress and confused about the larger goal of the organization. But most importantly, your behavior can create resentful teams and leave the entire organization ripe for abuse, intentional waste and a brooding desire to sabotage you. And that's if you have great employees! If you lead, #leadwithpassion.

I, Anthony, am emotionally “raw” and minutes out of my first therapy session on this week’s episode. Luckily, my friend, Keith Anderson, met me in the hallway and volunteered to join me on for this debrief of my inaugural chat with a clinical phycologist.  

Therapy is a thing that can make grown men shiver. We hope to change that. Granted, there is something scary about telling your secrets, and that’s only the jumping off point when you walk into a session! Our producer, Jonas, rounds out the team as we fix your fear of therapy! Renovating sometimes means taking things “down to the studs." Take a seat on the couch and join the conversation.

It’s an option that it seems every man contemplates. It leaves us wondering whether we are mentally ill. All of us have heard the voice that tells us, “Come and see what it’s like,” and many of us fail to ask ourselves, "Then what?" This week, we are joined by crisis counselor, Dr. Ray Rodriguez, a former Marine who specializes in counseling military personnel, to break down why the allure of suicide is a lie.

The movie will be titled: From Paddington to Patton

We all meet moments in our lives that ask us to reinvent and adapt. Our response to those moments can change a life, a people, a country and literally the world’s history. President Zelensky was better known as the voice of Paddington the Bear (Ukrainian Dub) than the voice of Ukraine’s incarnation of Patton before he leapt onto the world stage. He simply set his heart and the heart of his people aflame with the hope of liberty!

We learn things about him that only a historian the caliber of Stephen Mansfield would know. Listen and learn.

Great marketing or bad advertising? You decide. But there is honestly no hotter button to push right now than this. As parents, we tend to get caught up on this thing called truth. Today, JT reminds us of the wisdom in “don’t mess with my kids.” Anthony provokes an ”animated” conversation on the details. It’s getting hot in here!

Today, we're replaying an episode that every man and woman needs to hear! Dr. Ben Sweeney joins us in studio, but the focus moves away from sharing his story to one that involves ALL of us. Most of us have a hard time understanding what defines "health." Is it salads for every meal? Running the treadmill for hours on end? Flaunting a 6-pack that shows through your shirt? Dr. Ben is here to bust some myths and give us some practical tips for our roads to health.

We asked a question in our Facebook group about leadership tips that men have learned over the years. We were so blown away by the responses we received that we devoted an entire episode to them.

Will Smith recently took “Give Chris Rock a hand” to a whole different level. But honestly, we don’t think any more or any less of Will Smith today than we did before the Oscar’s aired. Here’s why.
