Michael Rudzena is the founding pastor of Good Shepherd NY. Michael takes a refreshing point of view when exploring scripture and faith. If you listen to you him, you feel questions rise where answers normally fall. He isn't prescriptive, so much as provoking. He is also open to the challenge of learning about different walks of life, and I loved our conversation.

In our interview we discuss:

  • Why people are leaving (or redefining) their faith more than ever before?
  • Why trust continues to be lost in religious institutions
  • How faith & politics interact and its broader implications
  • How to avoid repeating the sins of our past
  • What the future of faith looks like from Michaels' point of view

In this episode I go into the process of launching Brave World. But it won't be a 101 course on what mic I use or how I edit or any of that. You can go on Youtube for that stuff.

I want to talk about the insecurity I felt in launching this podcast.

We talk about the term 'Toxic Masculinity' and everything that comes with it, why men are conditioned from a young age to protect themselves by getting rid of their vulnerability, how men have found ways of coping by medicating instead of talking, and our own personal struggles with mental health and how we are dealing with it.

River is the founder of HUMEN, a non-profit who's mission is to improve and maintain men's mental health through The HUMEN Space. Anonymous, preventative and non-clinical space for men to talk, listen and connect on a regular basis.

This episode, I have a really special guest on to talk all about one of my favorite topics. Books! I have always been a huge fan of reading, but have grown more and more hungry to read the older I get. The problem is, sometimes its tough to do it consistently. And that is why I asked my new friend Alex to be on the show today.

Alex and Books is an online platform designed to help you read more great books. I love following Alex through twitter and his newsletter and always feel like I am learning new ways to be a better and more consistent reader.

In this episode we discuss the importance of quitting more books, how to become a more consistent reader, good note-taking ideas and how Alex sold all of his video games for a chance to meet Jordan Peterson.
