Today, on the show I invite Benjamin Roth to reflect on his experience of being in The Unshakable Man Community for over a year. Benjamin's been showing up consistently and regularly reminds himself and other men that this work is a practice and you can always restart or start again where you are.

Thank you Ben for coming on the show to share how this work has been meaningful for you. It's through men like you, sharing your own experience that men find this work.

If you feel alone on your journey or you are searching for a conscious group of men to practice your self-leadership skills - enroll in our next cohort or join The Unshakable Man Community at unshakableman.com

We define Somatic Self Leadership Training as the art and practice of dropping out of the head and into the body, learning to become the primary caretaker for your parts of Self, and being a courageous open-hearted man and leader. But what does that really mean?

Today, I sit down with Brain Fritz. He's been showing up and practicing in The Unshakable Man Community for over 52 weeks, he's going through a 200-hour yoga teacher training and he's a self-described intellectual that realized he used his intellectual capacity as a shield. By his assessment, something is different about the way we do this somatic work together in the community as men. I thought he was the perfect man to invite on to the show to have a conversation about the work we do.

As always we recorded this episode in the hope that it inspires more men to start to begin the journey inward and to join a community like The Unshakable Man.

Please send us your reflections, feedback, and questions about the episode, and if you are curious to join us in our next cohort go to UnshakableMan.com to learn more.
