True North Man

What stands between you and the life you want to live? Honestly, it might be you. But the only way to know for sure - and to take control of your life and how you live it - is to dive into a deeper understanding of yourself.

Nick Matiash is a men’s coach who is driven by the desire to help guys tap into and fulfill their highest potential in life. He runs the Evolved Man community and has developed the Alpha Accelerator Course to guide and teach his fellow men to expand their minds, embrace a sense of balance and rise above an aimless existence.

On this episode of the True North Man podcast, Paul and Nick dig into finding the courage and conviction to ask for advice and support in the arena of self-improvement, exploring the differences between masculine and feminine energy (and what it means to explore the two), where emotional intelligence factors into a healthy man’s mindset, and the powerful process Nick uses to unearth the unbelievable purpose and potential in each one of his clients. Listen in for fresh, impactful insight into the walls you need to knock down in order to live the fullest life possible.

What You’ll Learn:

• How society has conditioned men in the wrong direction when it comes to realizing and admitting that we might need help
• What our limited life experience impacts our ability to live out our potential (and how to push past that obstacle)
• Why community is essential in every man’s mission to continually evolve and become a better version of himself
• And much more!

Favorite Quote:

“There is a beautiful thing that comes at the other end of you knowing that you don't know everything right now. And that comes at the level of business, at the level of relationship and the level of politics, it doesn't even matter. If you can come into any conversation or into any place that you could learn something knowing that you don't know everything and just be open and vulnerable with that fact, you're going to soak things in like a sponge and your life will look drastically different than it does right now.”

Are you committed to improving every piece of your identity? It’s normal to hyperfocus on working out every day or reading constantly or reaffirming your faith - but have you figured out how to bring your mind, body and spirit into balance together?

Josh Tyler is the founder of Savage Gentleman, a brand that seeks to encourage men to embrace both the sides of the coin and become the best version of themselves. Between his podcast of the same name, online store and upcoming curriculum for men who want to level up their self-improvement, Josh is taking his expertise to motivated guys all over the world.

On this episode of the True North Man podcast, Paul and Josh dive into what it means to be a savage gentleman - that is, to find the balance between savage and gentleman that so many modern men are missing, and tackle topics like Josh’s developing guidelines for finding that balance, the importance of distilling the thing you’re pursuing into a concrete goal (or set of goals) to stay on a healthy track, and why Jesus is the best example of a savage gentleman. Listen in for an interview that will get you started pursuing your purpose like a savage.

What You’ll Learn:

• What problems have arisen among men in our society due to the lack of a purpose, a battle to fight and an adventure to live (and how to get started fixing those problems by reawakening our forgotten savage side)
• How to deductively figure out which aspects of your life you haven’t tapped into, and where that void might be showing up in your day-to-day experience, both mentally and physically
• Why the social environment as we grow up sets us up for failure, and how to navigate building a healthy peer group in spite of the obstacles in your way
• And much more!

Favorite Quote:

“There's the idea of like, men’s self improvement, right? Like we, as guys, kind of get confined to a certain box. And the idea is that there's another side of the coin. And there's a lot of aspects that we should be pursuing, not just relegating ourselves to being confined to this very narrow definition of what a man could and should be. So Savage Gentleman serves as a reminder to, like - hey, man, be a savage. Also be a gentleman, and don't go too far on one side of the other and neglect the other aspects of being a man, because there's a lot of guys who fall too far on one side or the other.”

Have you spent your life looking for that single, all-consuming thing that will change everything and propel you forward into a meaningful, productive, intentional future? If, like many of us, this has been your mindset - there is a much bigger, better perspective on the subject.

On this episode of the True North Man podcast, Paul sits down to jam on purpose, including discussions on why it’s misleading to believe that we only have one purpose, how to ask ourselves the right questions to divine what our purpose may be, and how finding your individual purpose ripples out to the world around you. Tune in for a life-changing episode that will put you on the right path, whatever it may be for you.

What You'll Learn:

• What three vital components each man needs to have to make an impact with his life and his time in the world
• How your life’s purpose may evolve and grow and change over time, and what influences these changes from life stage to life stage
• Why it becomes evident very quickly if the path you’re currently pursuing is wrong, or out of alignment with who you are (and what to look for when that happens)
• And much more!

Favorite Quote:

"I truly believe that if you give a man purpose, you give a man life. When he has a purpose that he's pursuing, when he has a purpose that he's fulfilling, his life becomes more meaningful, he begins to feel alive, he begins to feel the power that his Creator has put within him to be given to the world in a manner that enriches the world around him.."

Show of hands: who was born with all the answers? If, like most of us, you have gone through life trying to figure out who you are and construct the person you want to be, guess what? You're probably looking in the wrong places.

On this episode of the True North Man podcast, Paul tackles the topic of understanding and developing our most holy and wholesome identity, from the guidance we're given by God and the miracle of being created in His image to the vision we gain when we trust in God to give it to us rather than let our desires have the steering wheel, and what "VIP" actually stands for. Listen in for an episode that will point you on the path to enlightenment and the life you've only dreamed of.

What You'll Learn:

• Why wisdom and guiding vision are inseparable from one another, and how these two traits strengthen each other
• How God begins to subtly change our thoughts and our very existence when we choose to abide in Him
• What our starting point and foundation should be when we begin to seek vision for our lives
• And much more!

Favorite Quote:

"You have the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, three in one. So Jesus Christ is God, God is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, came to set the captives free - which, oh, by the way, I must say that I was certainly a captive, and I have certainly been set free. What have I been set free from? In a worldly sense, I've been set free from many of the things in my past that I allowed to control me, that were not serving me well, that were not serving my family well. And so I've been set free from the bondage of desires that hurt myself and hurt those around me. And I've been turned on to a path where I do the exact opposite."

What drives you day-to-day? Do you spend more of your time looking forward, or back into the past? These are important questions we don't ask ourselves often enough - but knowing the answers is crucial.

On this episode of the True North Man podcast, Paul digs into the topic of having vision for your life - how having that vision makes you whole, ensuring that your vision positively impacts the people around you, and what God's Word has to say on the subject. Tune in to light a fire in yourself and begin reaching for something higher.

What You'll Learn:

• How cultivating a vision to strive for significantly changes your whole life
• What vision might look like for you - and what it definitely isn't (and how we misconceive true vision)
• Why the concept of having a vision is so vitally important to Paul, and how it has played a role in his own story
• And much more!

Favorite Quote:

"So what is your vision, gents? What is it that you would like to do in life that is going to make a mark? And I don't mean for selfish gain. I don't mean for fame. I don't mean for relevance. I don't mean so that you are noticed in a way that some people may like to be noticed. What I mean is an impact that is positive and makes a mark, lives well beyond you, well beyond your years, well beyond your existence."

On the first episode of the True North Man podcast, Paul tells his story, relates some of his most impactful lessons learned, and sets out the intention to help listeners become the purposeful, fulfilled and strong men they were created to be. Tune in for the beginning of a life-changing show.

• Why this podcast came into being and what future episodes hold in terms of guests, messages, inspiration and beyond
• And much more!

Favorite Quote:

"Change is not easy. Change requires us to figure out who we are, who we want to be, what we're doing to get where we want to be, and what we're not doing to get where we want to be - and, quite frankly, what we're doing that's actually pulling us away from who we want to be. Or should I say, who we are meant to be."
