Most men I know during the break tell me they are restless and bored, unable to rest… Both tired and wired.

If that is holding pattern you find yourself in, get a drink and buckle up as my dear friend and fellow mentor Michael McCarthy and I (your host David Jurasek) dive into the 5 "Manly" Types of rest based on the 5 Masculine Archetypes of Warrior, Lover, Magician, Wild Man & King.

Mario went through hell... exposed for cheating, going through a painful divorce and breaking the family in two. He felt so terrible, the only way out was to try and kill himself. 

Fortunately, a caring neighbour saved him from annihilation. And even as he faced more deaths in his life, he chose to trust me and the other people who cared about him. Over a short 18 months, he has truly re-birthed himself, reconciling and re-building his life from the wreckage to establish a foundation that is more deeply fulfilling than he could ever imagine... 

Listen closely to see how he did it...

Guest mentor Michael McCarthy recounts finding a mentor where he didn't expect one... not from the formal teachers at a retreat centre but closer to home in the kitchen.

Jaden is an incredible man. Even after years of dedicated training and mentoring, becoming a dynamic leader, trusted Sensei and a very effective helping professional, he still doubted himself. 

This is what we did to help him put all doubts in himself to rest.

Alex was my first "official" mentee. A man who bravely sought me out and hired me to help him tend to a tumultuous marriage and a painful wound. 

Listen to our journey together as I made a lot of mistakes and was able to finally grasp his experience in ways that deeply affected my own life.

Before I can tell you remarkable stories of men I have been honoured to mentor, I begin by telling you about my first mentor. 

Paolo was a seasoned therapist who took me under his wing, at the worst time in my life. 

I was broke, burned out, quit my training as a therapist and was struggling daily with panic attacks and depression. 

Paolo went into terrain way beyond therapy with me, risking his status and daring to love me as a son. 

Re-parenting me, challenging me and loving me into being, Paolo gave me the confidence to finish my degree and set out into the world, daring to try to be of service and helpful to others.
