Favorite Quote: “The way they train elephants is when they're young they tie their leg to a stake in the ground and the young elephant gets pissed and is like 'absolutely not' and starts yanking and pulling and he's not strong enough at that point to pull the stake out of the ground. Well they do that long enough and what happens is then the elephant becomes huge this big strong magnificent beast, and the moment his leg is tied with the same size rope, he just stops. He just automatically assumes 'well I know that I know the end story here man I can't pull against it' when the reality is he just doesn't realize all he's got to do is pull now and it wouldn't even be a thing, right? Well, that's what's happening to so many of our men in society.”

Michael was four years old when his mother cut off his right index finger and was twelve when he “got high” for the first time. He spent most of his childhood homeless and in poverty. Clueless about what he wanted to do with his life, he spent all his teens selling drugs, breaking into houses and stealing cars for survival. What he thought would bring an end to his troubles, is money.

Money did come. At twenty-one, he started making a six-figure income. However, things took a turn for the worse. He became morbidly obese, smoking two packs of cigarettes a day, drinking himself to sleep, and more. Life became a disaster for him.

Nothing changed for the better until he acknowledged his past and accepted the reality. “I was leveraging and using my trauma as an excuse to not show up for myself,” Michael confesses. This key moment prompted him to start living his life with the motto, “no excuses, just results.”

Now, Michael is a motivational speaker, coach, mentor, and author. He assists people in “understanding and overcoming” their childhood trauma with practical tools so that they can create the life they want to live. He also hosts Think Unbroken Podcast as part of his mission to make a difference in the world.

In this episode of the True North Man podcast, Paul and Michael have a deep conversation on childhood abuses, their impact on life, and recovery from that. Your guest helps you understand: “the past traumatic events may be your foundation, but they cannot determine your future.” 

What You Will learn:

• What recovery stages Michael had been through to create a life of significance.
• Why he was scared to acknowledge his past harrowing experiences.
• How childhood trauma affects adulthood and how damaging it can be.
• And much more!

Favorite Quote:

“What you think becomes what you speak, what you speak becomes your action, and your action becomes your reality.  If you ever think you’re not good enough, that's going to be your reality, because you're going to create the action that's going to make that true.”

Is hunting a blood sport or a sport that’s in your blood? Unlike many, Robbie believes hunting is not merely killing animals. It’s something beyond that with a broader perspective. Men are natural hunters as he reminds saying, “If you go back in your lineage, someone had been a successful hunter for you to be here.” Whether you’re a non-hunter, new to the sport, or a seasoned pro, it’s hard to deny that “hunting is in our blood”.

Robbie Kroger is a scientist. A native to South Africa is now a proud American and a member of the hunting family. He founded a movement called Blood Origins, to reach out to more people and spread the truth around hunting. They’ve got incredible films that document many inspiring stories. While most hunting shows focus on the sport and the ultimate kill of the quarry, Robbie likes to portray the hearts of the hunters to the people. His podcast shows are a sort of smorgasbord of everything related to this sport.

In this episode of the True North Man podcast, Paul and Robbie talk about the importance of hunting, its positive aspects, what it does for wildlife and human life, and many interesting facts. Being a seeker after truth, your guest makes sure the non-hunters carry the right message from this conversation so as not to stick to any assumptions about hunters and their purpose of doing the sport. Tune in to know why there’s a need to humanize hunting.

What You Will Learn:

• How hunting connects us to Nature.
• What “Blood Origins” is all about.
• Why there’s such a polarization around the topic of hunting.
• How hunting is a tool to achieve conservation success.
• And much more!

Favorite Quote:

“There’s a sense of pride, a sense of adventure, a sense of discipline, a sense of accomplishment that comes with hunting, just like someone would experience when they climb a peak.”
