In our fast-paced society, many of us move so fast that we miss the opportunity to deeply acknowledge one another. Our modern means of communication has become transactional: we only talk to each other when we WANT something. What if we are missing a simple step that could yield massive results in every area of our lives? Blake Fly shows us how taking the time to express sincere gratitude and appreciation for someone will change their life, your life, and the world.

Social influences and culture have played a large role in removing us from our natural state as men. Lacking motivation. Giving into our impulses. Living an unfulfilled life. These are the challenges of the modern man. Preston Smiles, personal freedom coach and founder of Mancave, shares with us why so many men are disempowered, how to create an epic life, and how to live like a modern king.

The greatest challenges we face in our lives can either be seen as tragic events or our greatest triumphs. The difference is the stories we tell and how we choose to use our experiences. No one understands this better than this week's guest, Jeffrey Jordan. From his own turbulent past - a rise to success and the subsequent fall to rock bottom - to the life journeys he has supported for thousands of young men and women, Jeffrey defines his life and the gift he has to give others by two words: Resilience & Grit!

We are simply not designed to navigate the trials of life alone, isolated from other men, left to our own devices. The story of the Lone Wolf is fading, and the narrative of the New Warrior is on the rise. Today's guest, Alex Morrison, speaks about the importance of every man's unique descent and the opportunity to emerge from the darkness, as well as the importance of growing and learning in a community of men compared to the cost of doing it all by ourselves.

One thing that many men don't realize is that the pain and struggles from our past can be a tremendous source of power. What it comes down to is a choice: will you be a victim of your circumstances OR will you find a way to transform your experiences into gifts. Our guest, Wade Wynn, shares his story of navigating an abusive childhood, wandering to find his sense of purpose and freedom, and finding gratitude for our most challenging experiences.
