Ep. 07: Chris Widener - Freedom, Mentorship, and The Integrity of Men
09/22/21 • 39 min
Freedom.
A quick study of what freedom is and how to maintain it reveals a pattern. There’s a common set of values that each of us has to understand and respect. These values are alive and strong today but it’s getting harder to pass these on to younger generations.
Today, Nicky and our guest, Chris Widener, talk about looking for and growing up with mentors who know how to motivate boys or other men to be the best they can be. We learn about the integrity of men while Chris talks about one of his books, The Real Man Handbook, and last but not least, we learn about freedom and an incredible event, The American Freedom Tour, that will make a major contribution to defending and promoting the freedoms we all enjoy and should continue to enjoy for generations to come.
Chris Widener is an internationally renowned speaker, with clients like General Electric, Cisco Systems, Microsoft and the Harvard Business School. He’s been a personal and professional development coach since 1988. In 1990, he started a small publishing company called the American Community Business Network. The name was eventually changed to Made for Success and tens of thousands of personal development programs were sold through large retailers like Costco, Sam’s Club, Wal-Mart, Target and Barnes and Noble. He’s authored over 450 articles and twenty books including best sellers such as The Angel Inside, The Art of Influence, The Leadership Rules, Live the Life You Have Always Dreamed Of, Twelve Pillars, and the sequel to Twelve Pillars, Above All Else.
You can find the book that Chris co-authored with Larry Winget on Amazon.

Ep. 06: Man Skills with Ilan Srulovicz
“A life of comfort is sometimes dangerous”
Traditionally, people had to fight to survive. Conditions were often extreme and tribes, families, or communities did what was needed to stay warm, fed, and alive. In these modern times a desire for comfort and convenience has in many ways, replaced the threat and pursuit of survival. Despite this, or maybe because of it, some have a longing to challenge themselves in harsh conditions and to learn how to survive with the bare minimum. And in a society that’s growing more unstable by the minute, some are preparing to protect their families if the mechanisms of comfort and convenience collapse.
In this episode you will learn:
- Skills that will enhance your sovereignty.
- How to gain loads of confidence.
- Skills to protect yourself and your loved ones.
