April 13, 2022PASTOR DOUG WILSON | The Famine of Fatherhood
Pastor Doug Wilson is a husband, father, grandfather, author, Youtube star and the leader of the Christ Kirk Christian community in Moscow, Idaho.
He's also a man unafraid to speak the truth in a quiet but firm, compassionate but direct voice, sprinkled with a genuine sense of grandfatherly humor, and the occasional dad joke.
But at the same time, I've discovered he causes friction within the Christian community, apparently for saying things that we all mutter under our breath or say aloud over cigars and whiskey. But he's much more cheerful about them.
In our conversation Pastor Doug and I discussed:
The lessons he learned from his father
Constructive vs. destructive dominance
How men's sexual cycles need to follow women's sexual cycles for society to flourish
How outlawed Christian communities are coming back into fashion
How the famine of fatherhood ties into America's current land migration
Advice for new and longtime Christians
And finally, a brilliant perspective on Postmillennialism

My favorite part of this conversation is just how many quotable quotes Pastor Doug drops throughout the interview, in his how inimitable style.

April 01, 2022 ((SATIRE)) DONALD TRUMP, JORDAN PETERSON, and ALEX JONES | Spring Spectacular!
*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
This is a satirical April Fool's Day episode and not an actual interview.
***
This week, I'm hosting a very special episode. A Spring Spectacular round table discussion with three of the most influential and controversial men today:
The 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump
The famous lecturer, psychologist, and author, Dr. Jordan Peterson
and...
The infamous radio host Alex Jones.
By now you must be feeling like I did. "What? How? Why?" I've come to see that these are questions that no man can answer. I'll let our conversation speak for itself.
But I will say we talked before and after the recording, and I learned a lot from all of them.
And we'll save that for a future episode.

March 24, 2022CR WILEY | The First Institution
CR Wiley is a husband, father, podcast host, pastor of a church outside of Portland, Oregon, and the author of the book “The Household and the War for the Cosmos.”
For me his book was the crystal around which 20 years of thinking about masculinity instantly solidified.
What most men of the Renaissance want is a plot of land, a wife to share our lives with, noble work, children, a God to worship, and to be left alone. It turns out there's a word for that. It's called a household.
And not only does a household have significance for us as men, it has significance for God as well.
The core themes of his book, namely piety, the household, and the cosmos
How the household can rebuild society
Advice for men on how to rebuild their household
Advice for women on how to awaken the building spirit in their men
And finally, his writing process, and his most recent book, "In the House of Tom Bombadil" about the character in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.

Many men today aspire to self-sufficiency, which is a noble goal. But Pastor Wiley's restoration of the word household gives the dream of self-sufficiency a purpose, giving us something good, beautiful, and true to fight for.

March 16, 2022MR. SWIFT and IVAN THRONE | The Conscience of the King
Mr. Swift and Ivan Throne are brothers, philosophers, warriors, theologians, martial artists and students of religion and history.
Ivan is also the author of the bestselling book, “The Nine Laws”.
They're not just mind and muscle, brains and brawn. They are also heart and spirit, feeling and soul.
Which doesn't make them less dangerous, but more.
In our conversation we discussed more fascinating topics than I can list, including:
The potential future paths of American civilization, following the chaos of the past 2 years
The scariest verse in the Bible
What happens when you learn to listen to, and heed your conscience
The definitions of the words "esoteric" and "meekness"
And finally, a deep understanding of the purpose and culture of the ninja.
What I appreciate about hosting a podcast is that it gives me the opportunity to go deep into dialogue with men whose backgrounds and philosophies are nothing like my own.
And like all my favorite episodes do, my guests this week remind me that in the grand scheme I have so little to teach about masculinity, and so much to learn.

March 08, 2022CURT STORRING | Doing the Work
Curt Storring is a husband, father, men's coach, writer, and host of the Dad.Work podcast.
He writes, “Hi, my name is Curt Storring, and I’m a recovering shitty father. The first few years of fatherhood were hard for me. I was so overwhelmed, angry, and lonely, that it caused chaos in every other part of my life"
"My suffering was so great that I finally had to face the problem head-on and do something about it, or risk losing everything. My marriage, my family, my business… In fact, it got so bad that I began to wonder whether my life was even worth living.”
I don't usually use a man's own words to describe him, but I felt Curt's testimony would hit home for men who know those feelings well.
In our conversation we discussed:
Curt's moving transformation story from shitty father to men's leader
The notion of life artistry
The many blessings of failure
How fitness is a spiritual journey and the death spiral of obesity
And finally, the balance between men bonding through action vs. through dialogue.

Curt is a great example of the promise that it holds for men courageous enough to discover this special kind of strength.

February 22, 2022CB ROBERTSON | Of Heroes and Men
CB Robertson is an author, husband, father, and autodidactic philosopher. If you don't immediately recognize his name, you might recognize his Instagram handle: Caffeine and Philosophy.
If I'm one type of man, who allows life to interrupt his philosophical pursuits, CB is the other type of man for whom philosophy IS life, or at least a big part of it.
I always admired his clarity of thought even if I was a bit intimidated.
But if I know my audience, you guys like lengthy, in-depth episodes to chew on, and I knew that CB would fit the bill.
In our conversation we discussed:
Why Homer matters, and how the stories of Achilles, Odysseus, and Hector have meaning for us today
Plato's Republic, and why it's easy to miss the subtle message that Plato is trying to communicate
The transcendent hero vs. the family man, and maybe why the distinction isn't so clear
Masculine speech, and its direct and indirect forms
And finally, how shared suffering between men binds us together in our minds, and hearts, as well.

CB graciously agreed to come on the podcast just a few short days after we started talking, which was inside my usual research window. But in this case, we decided to wing it. And I have a feeling you're going to like the results.

February 11, 2022SUZANNE VENKER | The Courage To Be Disliked
Suzanne Venker is an author and marriage coach who walked onto the battlefield of the sexual holy war in 2012.
She's written books, appeared on radio shows, and developed a coaching practice to bring couples closer together by helping both women AND men women extract the feminist programming embedded in our psyches.
She’s on the front lines in a way that I think few are, seeing the ways that feminism warps, distorts, and even shatters women's hopes for a happy family life.
In our conversation we discussed:
The journey she took to talking about women and men professionally
The feminist mind, and if it can be deprogrammed, or better yet, when
The fascinating story of how her stock brother mother helped teach her vital lessons about femininity
Why she's taking a break from podcasting and writing, and what she's got planned next
A discussion of sex before marriage, and when and why it should should occur, from a secular perspective

Suzanne and I have a lot of fun talking. I have enormous respect for her speaking truth quietly and clearly. And I also honor her courage to be disliked.

January 31, 2022 THE BITCOIN COACH | #Bitcoin or Bust
Carlos Fenmann, aka The Bitcoin Coach, is a husband, father, entrepreneur, and Bitcoin educator.
He’s the man who “orange pilled” ME in summer 2020, and my world was never the same.
Carlos graciously agreed to come on the podcast to fill in some of your Bitcoin knowledge gaps and perhaps even some of mine too, following my discussion with LaserHodl.
In our conversation we discussed:
- The process of Bitcoin mining and what a blockchain is
- How Bitcoin differs from crypto, including the alt-coin Ethereum
- How Bitcoin isn't a perfect system, but a resilient system
- The anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto, and...
- Carlos' own Bitcoin Coaching services, and how he can get you AND your family up to speed to protect your hard-earned generational wealth.
As you might imagine, Bitcoin is a lifelong pursuit. At the end of 2 hours, we're not going to get you to LaserHodl level.
But my hope is, after this conversation you'll understand why the only wrong amount of Bitcoin to own, is zero.

January 25, 2022 LASERHODL | Reset and The Renaissance
LaserHodl is a husband, former software engineer, fantastically deep and broad thinker, Bitcoin citizen, and Sovereign Hopeful.
Many in the past couple years have attempted to explain what's going on in our world, but when I heard LaserHodl recently I said, I think this man has got it.
His thesis is that what we're experiencing has to do with money, how it's created, why that system is failing, and what might happen next. And buried within that picture is the answer for what we, as men, can do about it.
The answer is Bitcoin.
In our conversation, we discussed just one thing: Why Bitcoin is immediately, urgently relevant to you as a man.
That subject is so broad and far-reaching, it took us almost 5 hours to cover it in total.
We moved from Malthusian fear spells to global finance, geopolitics and get on zero, our personal histories and far beyond into the Christian religion, our shared faith.
And Bitcoin touches on it all.
And in that, I encourage you to listen carefully to our discussion. It's vitally important that we all get this as men.
Because if we succeed in transforming money, there's nothing we can't do.
NOTE: For those unfamiliar with Bitcoin, and how it works, fear not. Shortly after this podcast is released I'll be doing a companion episode about the how and what of Bitcoin with Carlos Fenmann, the Bitcoin Coach.

January 20, 2022FIZEEK FATHER | Finding Redemption From Trash World
The Fizeek Father is a father, art director, and Instagram content creator who's blazed a bright and influential trail through the men's space in just a short couple of months.
His clean designs, clear ideas, and sense of humor have brought a sense of levity to a field, which can often be full of serious ideas.
He's been on his own journey of transformation, from skinny fat bugman of trash world into Primal Handsome Nationalist of Gastonian Proportions.
In our conversation we discussed:
Who he was, the mistakes he made in his marriage, and why, and who he became as a result
Red pill truths, and which ones were hardest for each of us to swallow
His son and their relationship today, as the boy begins to grow into a man
The influence of the author Bronze Age Pervert on his writing, and the benefits and drawbacks of anonymity vs. being a creator with a real face and a name
And finally the power of humor in his writing, and how he harnesses it to make a creative impact in the saturated men's space.

My friends and I have shared so much of Fizeek King's content since his splash debut in November that I decided I had to find out who he was, including his story and philosophy, and I wasn't disappointed.
And I'd like to thank all of you for giving me the freedom to interview not just worldwide thought leaders, but newer creators making waves and making a difference for all of us.
