The Modern Man Podcast

In this episode of The Modern Man, we're joined by Alain Dumonceaux, a Purposeful Action (Men)tor, Host of The Revolutionary Man Podcast, and Founder of The Awakened Man movement. Alain shares incredible insights on becoming a man with purpose and what it means to grow through purposeful action.

As men, we often struggle to find that safe space where we can be vulnerable, share what's on our minds and hearts, and free ourselves from shame and blame. That's why Alain developed The Awakened Man and what drove him to start doing this powerful, introspective work.

Listen in to gain actionable advice on what to do if you feel lost in life, if you're not sure how to fill up your cup, or if you want to get aligned with your values and lead a purposeful life each and every day.

Purposeful action is all about following the intentions you set for your day. Are you following your intentions? As Alain says, when you have purpose behind you, you have reason to be.

"There's so many different ways of approaching how to do men's work… and there's so many of us out here, trying to do our piece to raise the level that we show up as husbands and fathers and leaders in our communities." – Alain Dumonceaux

"As men, we've got to look for ways to test ourselves… Historically, we were tested just surviving and so much of that survival has been taken care of for us. I think we've got to recognize there's a price to that comfort and convenience and pleasure. It robs us of our own strength and inner force." – Don McLaughlin
