Terry Crews joins me on the podcast today to talk about some very powerful topics focused on developing masculine power. I believe that you’d all agree that Terry embodies what we typically think of when we think about masculinity.
But today we dive deep into his true sense of power, his struggles with past anger issues and pornography, how to not only be physically strong but build mental and emotional strength, avoiding being baited in uncontrollable situations, what it means to “misuse masculinity,” and overcoming shame, insecurity, and fear.

You guys have heard me talk a lot about our role as protectors, providers, and presiders not only within the walls of our home but in our communities as well. Not only do we have the opportunity to give back to those in need, we have a moral obligation to do so, especially if we have the means to do it.
My guest today is a man who is doing exactly that. His name is Victor Fontanez (you may know him as Vic Blends) and he has made a name for himself through offering practical life advice for the young men he gives haircuts to as he serves his community in Atlanta. Vic is 22 years old but you’re going to hear so much incredible wisdom come from him. I was honestly taken back by how much this man inspired me to do and be better myself.

We live in the single greatest time in the history of the human species but that’s not to say we’re without our fair share of challenges and struggles. It seems to me that the path we’re on is leading us to a path of destruction and the pace of our demise seems to be rapidly increasing.
My guest, Dave Rubin, would agree and, although we don’t see eye to eye on everything we discuss today, I think it will serve as a reminder that we can – and should – learn to have these crucial conversations before it’s too late.
Today, we talk about the seeming futility of trying create positive change in the world, what “wokeism” is and how to root it out of our society, big tech and how it’s working in overdrive to subjugate us, capitalism vs. socialism, homosexuality and transgenderism, and, ultimately, how to thrive in our ever-increasing woke dystopia.

No doubt, you’ve heard of Bitcoin and Crypto but with the increasing popularity of digital currency, you may still have a lot of questions and skepticism about the validity of what exactly it is and if it’s worth paying attention to.
My guest today is Bitcoin expert and a duel degree MIT graduate, Michael Saylor. Today, him and I discuss what Bitcoin is and whether or not it’s a valid form of currency for the future. We also get into some higher-level discussions about what is the nature of money, value, and our individual property rights. We cover the concerns of inflation, government risk, whether or not digital currency is “real,” and the incorruptible nature of Bitcoin.

If you’re anything like me, you know that deep down inside you’re meant to do something great in this life. It’s unfortunate, however, that so many men settle especially when it comes to a career they’re likely going to spend the overwhelming majority of their waking hours in.
That’s why I wanted to invite back Ken Coleman, author of From Paycheck to Purpose. Today, Ken and I talk about the concept of “stealing time from yourself” to launch a purpose project, tactical discipline during the pursuit, the 3 types of fear that keep men from going after meaningful work, and how to take yourself from day job to dream job.

Every single one of us has past baggage and trauma. What separates us is the ability to internalize, learn from, and move past what may have previously hindered us. Embracing the past (and the lessons learned) is the only way to move forward productively and effectively.
My guest today, is Dr. John Delony. He is a bestselling author and has two PhD’s with over two decades of experience in counseling and crisis response. Today, we talk about dealing with past trauma in all its forms, working with incentive structures that produce positive results, overcoming stress, addiction, and loneliness, fighting against the east of modernity, and how to own your past.

My guest today is the one and only, Tim Tebow. I had the opportunity to sit down with him in New York last week and, without a doubt, he’s one of the most genuine human beings that I’ve ever met. You could feel that from him from the moment he walked into our studio (which happened to be a hotel room in Manhattan). I’ve always wondered if the men we see online are the same men in person and I can unequivocally say, “yes,” with Tebow.
Today, we talk about where Tebow’s convictions come from, the powerful relationship he has with his father and his coaches along the way, why his work with those who have special needs is so crucial in the absence of manliness, the dichotomy between God’s sovereignty and our own, creating an edge in your life, stacking up the small wins, and, at the foundation of it all, how to create a life that counts.

Men, this one is like a conversation with an old friend. Kyle “The Captain” Creek and I initially connected only several months ago but we picked up this conversation like we’ve been friends for decades. And, I think you’re going to feel the same. Kyle offers so much practical wisdom and is extremely relatable as he is unpacking all the same issues that you and I are as fathers and men in general.

We also talk about what it takes to be a successful writer and marketer, the difference between awareness and obsessiveness, how to deal with daily criticism, why people suck at delivery, cancel culture, grace, and so much more.
