On a weekly basis, some jackfruit on the interwebs accuses me of running a cult. And I get it, we have t-shirts…we all like each other…and we think outside the box.

In this extremely important episode, Uncivilized Inc President David Boyd and I actually dissect and discuss the truth about the cult we may be running.

Grab your Kool Aid and your love for authority and enjoy!

Cheers,

Traver

Purpose, purpose, purpose.

We hear how important it is to know why we’re here on Earth and what we’re “supposed” to be doing! For men this is doubly important.

But yet for so many people, discovering and/or claiming their purpose is an exercise in frustration and exhaustion.

In this UNcivilized UNplugged episode with Dr. Jeremy Goldberg and Leila Dylla we dive into our best practices for both helping our clients discovering their purposes and how we unlocked our own.

Dive in and enjoy!

Have you ever seen Agent 007 movies and dreamed of being like James Bond? Live exciting adventures in a late model car, dodging bullets while you race. Today we will bring you a real CIA spy, and the reality of it will make your heart beat faster than the fiction you see in the movies.

In this episode, he will tell us the stories behind this powerful company. Everything from PTSD, mental problems, and the missions; stories that will leave you open-mouthed.

Did you know how easy it is to become a spy nowadays? Our guest will tell us how to do it.

ABOUT MARC POLYMEROPOULOS.

Marc Polymeropoulos worked for 26 years at the CIA before retiring in July 2019 at the Senior Intelligence Service level. He was one of CIA’s most highly decorated operations officers who served in multiple field assignments for the U.S. government. He specialized in counterterrorism, the Middle East and South Asia, including extensive time in Iraq and Afghanistan. Prior to his retirement, Marc served at CIA headquarters and was in charge of CIA’s clandestine operations in Europe and Eurasia. He frequently comments on international events in the US media, to include the Washington Post, The New York Times, GQ, Yahoo, CNN, and MSNBC. He also writes a weekly column on intelligence as a Washington Examiner contributor.  Marc’s book, “Clarity in Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the CIA,” was published by Harper Collins in June 2021.

The Imposter haunts us all. Myself included. Or at least he used to.

I remember a few years back doing the first class of a six class online workshop and anxiously walking around my house afterward waiting for the emails to come in from all of the men who were on the call wanting their money back!

The emails never came…but I also reached out to my good friend Jeremy who said, “Show me the evidence from your old classes where everyone quits on you after the first call. If there’s no evidence there, assume there won’t be any here.”

He was right and my bout with The Imposter was done for the day. It led me to look deeply at my own fears and insecurities and know you have the same opportunity when yours arises.

In this episode we dive into your Imposter Syndrome, and how you can learn to manage and learn from them.

Enjoy,

Traver

Would you forgive a criminal?

Today's guest is a man who undertook the task of visiting prisoners and getting to know them and their histories. Years have passed since William Fraser started his foundation to help people, especially those who remain in jail for misdemeanors. William believes that with support, coaching, and making a change in the employment crisis that his country is going through, it is possible to prevent these people from falling back into the same paths.

In this episode, we bring this fascinating topic to the table. Do you think we can prevent criminals from going back to prison?

ABOUT WILLIAM FRASER

Will is an ex-professional rugby player for Saracens RFC. Will joined the Saracens Academy in 2005 aged just 14 and was a member of the famed 'Class of 08,' alongside the likes of Owen Farrell & Jamie George.

After a ten-year playing career, unfortunately, he was forced to retire from playing in 2017 as a result of a neck injury.

In 2020, Will took his first entrepreneurial step in launching 100 & First. This foundation was born from the realization of the power of incredible real-life experiences and how (if told in the right way) the learnings from them apply to any person or environment. The only difference is the context in which they are applied.

When the divine masculine rises, every broken system in the world will change with it. And not before.

As men find their hearts and feel into all the pain and heartache they have buried, the world has no choice but to shift radically.

And yet this work is not easy. Far from it.

A question I get weekly from readers and listeners of the female persuasion is:

Dive in and please share it with women you know.

Cheers,

Traver

Every successful story begins with an action. Becoming an entrepreneur or starting a business can not only remain in your mind or your goal book; you have to create a plan and take action.

Having a strong mindset is essential. Have you ever disappointed someone by failing on a commitment? The same happens to you. Our mind absorbs everything we feed it with, and failing yourself creates a failure mentality.
