Good at being a man while being a good man

The Revolutionary Man Podcast

01/28/21 • 10 min

Is it possible to be good at being a man and still be a good man? I guess it depends on what you believe being a man is. Are there attributes of manhood that we should remove from society and our identity as men? Finally, what are the two must-have attributes that we must own to be good men? In today’s episode, I explore these questions as we discern if it is possible to be both good at being a man while being a good man.

The Pursuit of Male Greatness Breaking Free from the Ordinary

The Revolutionary Man Podcast

03/11/24 • 30 min

Ever felt like you're just going through the motions, unsure if you're living up to your full potential? You're not alone. Join me and my insightful guest Mark Jordan as we navigate the choppy waters of modern manhood, confronting the hidden struggles of loneliness and worthiness that many men face. Mark's personal journey, marked by moments of profound pain and growth, serves as a beacon of hope for all of us seeking to break free from the chains of mediocrity. Together, we unpack the importance of support and mentorship in charting a course toward a life that's anything but ordinary.
Unravelling isn't just about pulling at threads; it's about reweaving the fabric of our lives into something stronger and more vibrant. In our deep-dive conversation, Mark introduces the 'Unravel' program – a sanctuary where men can collectively push past barriers and champion each other's quests for excellence and leadership. We dissect the powerful outcomes of joining such a community, like crafting a vision and a personal mission statement, which act as compasses guiding us toward a fulfilling, purpose-driven existence. The alignment of values and missions emerges as a lighthouse, steering us away from the stagnation that can so easily ensnare us.
Lastly, we confront the fears that all too often immobilize us, examining the 'lollipop of mediocrity' and its deceptive allure. In dissecting strategies to escape the underachievement cycle, we focus on the five pillars of a balanced life: faith, family, friends, fitness, and finances. By arming ourselves with not just the tools but also the camaraderie of a supportive brotherhood, strides towards personal excellence become not just possible, but inevitable. So, if you're ready to shed the cloak of the average and step into the extraordinary, this episode serves as your rallying call. Join us, as part of the awakened brotherhood, in the relentless pursuit of our fullest potential.

Warrior's Redemption: A Journey of Faith, Resilience, and Brotherhood

The Revolutionary Man Podcast

04/21/24 • 40 min

When my own world was shaking, anger at God became an unwanted companion. Today, we're tearing down the facade that often masks the turmoil within, especially for men enduring life's crueller chapters. Jeff Scott Wilson, once a Navy officer and combat surgeon, now a best-selling author and filmmaker, joins us to illuminate this shadowed journey. With raw honesty, we dive into the maelly of a faith crisis, sharing how our personal upheavals—mine laced with anger and Jeff's with the transition from military to civilian life—challenged and ultimately reshaped our understanding of God's role amidst suffering and loss.
The notion of free will can be as much of a conundrum as it is a gift. In this heartfelt conversation, we grapple with reconciling the existence of a loving deity with the world's injustices, and how this struggle often leads to an emotional standoff with the divine. We open up about the sense of abandonment that can envelope us when tragedy strikes, and the delicate journey toward finding companionship with God through the darkest of times. Tapping into our vulnerabilities, Jeff and I navigate the complexities of maintaining faith in the face of life's relentless barrage, be it on the battlefield or in the silent battles we fight within.
This episode transcends the personal, touching upon the universal quest for purpose that often intensifies with professional success. I reflect on the Christian action thriller series 'Dark Intercept,' born out of my own confrontations with good and evil, and how crafting these stories echoes the need for action in our spiritual lives. For anyone questioning their path or seeking solidarity in their trials, we offer a message of hope, underlining the power of faith and the courage to seek support within and beyond faith-based communities. Jeff's and my stories stand as a beacon to guide you through the fog of doubt and onto firmer ground.
Key moments:
07:07 Navigating the Complexities of Faith and Fairness
18:50 The Power of Community in Overcoming Crisis
22:17 Common Triggers and Personal Battles
26:45 Shifting Perspectives: From 'Why' to 'What'
29:06 Embracing a Mission Beyond Ourselves
34:23 Leveraging Success for a Greater Purpose
38:37 A Final Message: Community and Vulnerability

From Struggle to Triumph - One Man's Journey of Transformation

The Revolutionary Man Podcast

01/20/24 • 55 min

As I sat down with Dai Manuel, a conversation unfolded that was as raw as it was revolutionary. His journey from the depths of addiction and obesity to a life brimming with purpose is nothing short of inspirational. Together, we peeled back the layers of his five F's model—a blueprint for anyone looking to reclaim their health and step into leadership within their family and community. Our dialogue traversed the complexities of masculinity, the resilience required to navigate life's transitions, and the unwavering importance of aligning one's actions with deeply held values to attain true fulfilment.
The power of personal transformation took centre stage as we shared stories of pivotal moments that reshaped our lives. Reflecting on my own childhood, marked by my parent's divorce and an introspective escape into video games and junk food, I could see the mirror of my past in Dai's adolescence. His remarkable transition from a 14-year-old confronting obesity to a fitness enthusiast underscores the transformative potential that lies within disciplined, incremental change. We explored the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, and physical well-being, highlighting the significance of holistic health as the cornerstone of an extraordinary life.
Rounding off this heartfelt exchange, we turned to the written word, crediting books like "The Way of the Superior Man" and "The Alchemist" for their profound impact on our personal growth. The conversation was a timely reminder of the fleeting nature of life's peaks and troughs, as well as the undeniable value of mental health and balance across all facets of existence. For those on the brink of their own heroic quest, seeking mentorship, or looking to connect with Dai's transformative work, we've set the stage for a journey of self-discovery that promises to be as enlightening as it is empowering.

The Revolutionary Man Podcast

06/02/24 • 32 min

Is acknowledging mental health struggles actually a sign of strength? Amid the pressures of entrepreneurship, executive roles, and family responsibilities, we often overlook the profound impact mental health has on men's lives.
In this episode, I open up about my personal journey through depression after a major life upheaval, illustrating the importance of mental well-being alongside work and family responsibilities. We tackle the cultural norms that deter men from seeking help, redefining stoicism as a healthy expression and mastery of emotions, and encourage breaking the stigma surrounding mental health.
We also explore the evolving norms of masculinity, focusing on how men express affection and vulnerability. Whether it’s the growing acceptance of hugging friends or the challenges of being a stay-at-home dad, we highlight the emotional growth in men today. Through personal stories and practical advice, we emphasize the crucial need for men to communicate openly and seek support.
Finally, we address the pressures of balancing professional success and personal life, using real-life examples like John, a successful entrepreneur whose mental health journey underscores the importance of balance and self-awareness. Join us for a thoughtful discussion that aims to uplift and empower men in their journey towards better mental health.

Reigniting Passion: How Men Can Lead Their Marriage Back to Fire

The Revolutionary Man Podcast

04/23/25 • 25 min

Have you and your spouse drifted from passionate partners to practical roommates? For many men, that's exactly where we find ourselves - the sparks gone, connections dulled, and intimacy feeling more like a distant memory than daily reality. But there's hope in understanding a fundamental truth: passion doesn't die, it drifts.
This deeply personal exploration cuts through surface-level marriage advice to address what's really happening when men stop pursuing their own edge and growth. When we trade emotional authenticity for approval and hide behind "nice guy" behavior, we create the very disconnection we're trying to avoid. The missing ingredient isn't more date nights or better communication techniques - it's reclaiming our masculine presence.
Women crave men who can pierce their hearts with presence, not predictability. When a man becomes domesticated and avoids depth, his wife feels that loss physically and emotionally. The passion wanes not because of age or time but because his consciousness no longer leads her to that moment of connection.
Through practical wisdom drawn from David Deida, Robert Glover, and Jack Donovan's work, we explore how vulnerability fuels passion and why leading your marriage like a CEO kills attraction. You'll discover why the myth that passion should be spontaneous is holding you back and how comfort collapses the very polarity that creates desire.
The transformation starts when you stop asking "what happened to us?" and start asking "who do I need to become to reignite what we had?" Through emotional presence, reclaimed polarity, strategic disruption of routines, and reconnection to purpose, you can lead your marriage back to fire - not through manipulation, but through authentic leadership.
Ready to stop coasting and start leading your marriage with depth, strength and clarity? Take our free integrity challenge at members.theawakenedman.net and begin the journey back to the man you were meant to be.
