August 03, 2022ALEKS SVETSKI | Responsibility Go Up
Aleks Svetski is the co-author of the UnCommunist Manifesto, as well as the Founder of the Bitcoin Times and the mobile Bitcoin app Amber.

https://www.uncommunist.com/
Aleks has become well-known in the Bitcoin space for his outspoken, direct, and aggressive defense of Bitcoin, making him a so-called "toxic maximalist.”
Because he understands how important Bitcoin is from a MORAL perspective.
And his new book "The UnCommunist Manifesto" is a rallying war cry for men and women to build a society on the back of a currency that cultivates us towards the good.
Yes, Number Go Up is good.
But Responsibility Go Up is better.
And Communism Go Down might be the best.
In our conversation we discussed:
His hard-knock upbringing and "Steve Jobs" moment
How Bitcoin is both an attractor and accelerant for personal growth
Time preference and morality
How savings is the cornerstone of civilization
Bitcoin's new RGU technology
Bushido, the Way of the Warrior
His new book, The UnCommunist Manifesto.

What if we stopped saying, "Money is the root of all evil." What if we could say in our hearts, "Money made us good."
That's the case that Aleks makes, so hope you'll hear him out.

If you feel a call unheeded in your life, I understand. I was once the same. I would have waited forever for life to come to me, but instead I made the choice to live.
I made that choice in the company of men.

July 29, 2022KEN CURRY | Justice, Mercy, and Grace
Ken Curry is a marriage and family therapist in Colorado, as well as a men’s group leader, husband, father, grandfather, and author.
I also consider him an elder who’s made meaning out of his life experiences, turned victories and defeats to wisdom, and allowed struggle to teach him the meaning of joy.
Ken is also a Christian, a devout believer who incorporates faith into his broad and deep perspective, or perhaps his perspective is built around it.
Which makes him rare in the men's movement, Christianity, and as an American man of his generation.
If you've listened to my podcast before you might imagine I had high expectations for this episode. They were all exceeded, and you'll hear it.
In our conversation we discussed:
Masculine Presence and Voice
Becoming an internally referenced man
Sin, Justice, Grace, Mercy, Redemption, and Reconciliation
The definition of hell
The difference between what moves in us, and what is unmoved
The distorted message of Original Sin.

Some men will feel blessed by this conversation. Others will be challenged. A few might even be upset.
And to that I say, good. Because this is not your standard Manosphere dialogue.
But I believe this is where we're going, and more importantly this is where we need to go.

July 21, 2022JON DU TOIT | Exiting Babylon
Jon Du Toit is a husband, father, and musician in the new band Electrum Fire.
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR "EXIT BABYLON" HERE:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aYGUxMQX0U
But you may know Jon better from his work as a filmmaker.
He was the co-director of the Mike Cernovich documentary "Hoaxed" and has worked on projects with Stefan Molyneux, Lauren Southern, and InfoWars.
Jon is also Canadian. He saw dark clouds gathering for his country in 2020 and had to flee with his wife, children, and parents to Mexico, on the Yucatan peninsula.
Imagine what that might do to you as a man, having to leave your home country and almost everything you knew and loved.
Would you be able to adapt? Could you even make something beautiful out of it?
Jon had to answer these questions for himself. May we all learn something from his example.
In our conversation we discussed:
His history as a filmmaker
Networking and professionalism at the highest levels of world achievement, including with Jordan Peterson and more
Firearms idolatry, or how some men make their guns into gods
The limited usefulness of the Manosphere, and what might be coming next
His new musical project Electrum Fire
His experience moving to Mexico with his family, and his journey as a husband, father, and artist to rebuild.

I hope you'll join me in honoring Jon for his bravery and decisiveness in this conflict, and his courage to transform it into art

July 14, 2022PASTOR TOBY SUMPTER | The Glory of Men
Toby Sumpter is a pastor, author, blogger, YouTube star, husband and father, and he articulates the why of beauty, strength, marriage and children, better than anyone I've heard.
Because what are beauty, strength, marriage, and children for? Have you ever thought about it?
I'd understand if not. We often have a sense that these things are intrinsically valuable, in themselves and for the purposes they serve.
But what is that purpose?
When I first encountered this question, the answer felt just out of reach. Then when I got it everything made sense, and I felt I could plant my feet in the blessing of Toby's answer.
In our conversation we discussed:
His history and background
The origin of the term “nuclear family"
The most valuable thing in the cosmos
The miraculous formula for joy
Real manliness in the home
What it means to choose the right sacrifice.

Pastor Toby has a knack of cutting to the heart of the matter about Christianity and culture, in a direct and inspiring way.
And in this episode, the last 30 minutes of this interview might be the most important 30 minutes of my podcast so far.

All new episodes coming soon!
In the meantime, please enjoy this replay of an IG Live I did with Justine Baruch, a life and relationship coach for men, women, and couples.
In our conversation, we discussed:
Justine's story of deprogramming from feminism
How men need Honor Groups
Men, women, emotions, communication, and hormones
How women need to own their feelings of safety
The relevance of trauma, despite the overuse of the term
And finally, the funny story about how Justine got herself into a situation trying to get some backstage passes to a concert
This is an important conversation about the Great Reconciliation that I hope you'll enjoy as much as we did.

June 03, 2022ERIC CARROLL | The Disaster of Family Court
Eric Carroll is a husband, father, and host of the Dad Talk Today podcast.
He’s also a leading national advocate to end dad deprivation and parental alienation, a consequence of the national divorce industry which is worth tens of billions of dollars annually.
This massive field is incentivized to wreck the American family through the American father.
And Eric’s outspoken approach, Southern drawl, and down-home attitude has helped become a well-recognized personality and advocate for fathers within national political circles in just three years, with hundreds of thousands of followers on Facebook and beyond.
In our conversation we discussed:
The political response (or non-response) to parental alienation of dads
The double standard of men's and women's emotions
Men's need for self-care, and what that looks like
The external and internal politics of the men's movement
Eric's personal story, and how he started DadTalkToday
And finally, his documentary about John Mast, who was murdered during a custody exchange, an all-too-common occurrence.

The war on masculinity now exists in the political realm, with real levers of power being brought to bear upon the American family, through the American man. These aren't easy or comfortable subjects to look at, but they are important ones.
And Eric Carroll is a man of profound courage and commitment for continuing to be a voice for dads.

May 12, 2022DOUGLAS GILLETTE | The King in His Fullness
MY 50TH INTERVIEW
Douglas Gillette is the co-author of “King, Warrior, Magician, Lover”, an immortal classic of the men’s movement.
He’s also a husband, father, college professor, Jungian analyst, and poet.
I hear his book mentioned weekly because it helps men see their inherent goodness and nobility, in an era dedicated to shaming men for often exaggerated crimes of wickedness.
The mode of thinking it inspired also showed me that I could take core aspects of me and round them out in the hopes of someday becoming a King.
In our conversation we discussed:
How men's work began with the warrior energy and lost contact with it
Sensitive subjects the men's movement avoids
The importance of men separating from the mother, and how to do it without losing touch with the feminine
The power and strength in true humility
Christianity's answer to the origin of human suffering
And finally, some reflections as Douglas looks back on his life, as an elder.

To make a contribution like Douglas has to three generations of men requires authentic care, and genuine love for the masculine experience coupled with profound philosophical and spiritual insight.
I hope you’ll see, as I do, that is who Doug is.

April 28, 2022JON RENNIE | Earn Your Oxygen
Jon Rennie is a former US Navy submarine officer, as well as a business leader, podcast host, and author.
We met on Twitter, where I saw his book “All In the Same Boat” about his time aboard the USS Tennessee and what it taught him about life and business.
I rarely read business books, but I thought I’d give his a try.
As a lover of sailing, his sea stories stirred my heart, and I thought my audience might enjoy them too.
In our conversation we discussed:
His background, and some formative moments aboard the Tennessee
How he raised his boys to become successful men
The three acts of his life: from Naval officer, to business leader, to author
The process of writing his trilogy of books about submarine and business life
What it was like serving during the Cold War
The accuracies and inaccuracies of the hit submarine films The Hunt for Red October, and Crimson Tide

Jon and I had one of my most fun conversations yet. He went on his own Hero’s Journey beneath the waves and brought back wisdom for all of us.

April 21, 2022PAUL RISSE | The Psychedelic Christian
Paul Risse is a husband, father, community leader, and author of the new book “The Psychedelic Christian.”
I’m new at being a Christian, but I’ve had positive experiences with ayahuasca, sound healing, psychotherapy, and more.
If my stories sound far out, Paul’s experiences are otherworldly:
Lucid dreaming, meditation, gnosticism, Hinduism, raw food veganism, microdosing, psychedelics from every letter of the alphabet, a year of living without electricity, and more.
In Paul's new book, he outlines how his former life led him unexpectedly to Christ.
In our conversation we discussed:
Paul's amazing life story
How some Christian denominations create dangerous environments for believers
Christianity, psychedelics, and sexuality
How we're losing ancestral wisdom to modernity
How I found Christ, or Christ found me, at Burning Man
And finally how Christianity is welcoming travelers bearing stories of journeys in the spirit realms.

These are controversial topics to discuss. To navigate them requires a man of wisdom, integrity, love for humanity, and reverence for God.
As I hope you'll see, these all describe my friend Paul to a T.
