I’ve spent a lot of my life believing that being free meant being without responsibilities. Admittedly … it’s incredibly childish! And the older I get the more clear it becomes that there is a dialog running in my brain all the time … between the adult me and some version of me that’s 2 or 5 or 11 years old … and man … he does not want responsibilities. I don’t think I’m unique in that … seeing the world as a place where I get to choose whatever I want and damn the consequences … ‘F' em if they can’t take a joke’ and ‘he who dies with the most toys wins’ There are ways that our culture reinforces this kind of living … without integrity … a cohesive binding that makes something whole …  in subtle and not so subtle ways every day. And we can find lots of role models to look up to. Maybe there are other ways to understand freedom … and to embrace integrity. William Grace Frost has come to understand freedom in a different way. He has had some profound awakenings into what a life of integrity looks like, one of which happened on the New Warrior Training Adventure. He’s taken his experience as a professional athlete, as a highly trained coach, and as a student of multiple wisdom traditions, and used it all to create a process called the Men’s Freedom Formula … In this episode we talk about integrity, accountability, and freedom … William brings incredible gifts of wisdom and presence … and he also brings a gift … see below.Learn More and get the free gift Men's Freedom Formula Website: https://www.mensfreedomformula.com/Men's Freedom Formula Graphic: https://bit.ly/3e7ZFLLMen's Freedom Formula Blueprint: https://bit.ly/3CzWExf BetterHelp: Get 10% Off Your First Month Of Therapy The ManKind Podcast has partnered with Betterhelp to make it easier for listeners to access licensed mental health therapists who can aid them in their mental health journey.

So what does that mean for us as a species? Imminent doom?Well, I sat down recently for a panel discussion on our show The ManKind Podcast to clarify if and how it might be possible to begin the healing process.Key takeaways from this episode: Many today have found their identity based on what they are AGAINST instead of what they are FOR.  A social phenomenon called Schismogenesis.In the past, we were more likely to disagree without the need to dehumanize the other person and consider them "Evil" simply because we disagreed with their views and opinions.My triggers are often the key to discovering how I can do my healing in relation to how those I can't entirely agree with fire me up.That "Bridge Building" isn't about finding "Common ground" with those we disagree with. It's about being able to disagree and debate in a healthy way that doesn't villainize the other.If you are committed to healing divides, then you must be willing to change your opinion/stance on that which you are debating.Follow Benjamin DancerWebsite: https://www.benjamindancer.com/Blog - Embracing My Triggers: https://www.benjamindancer.com/the-old-man/2022/8/5/embracing-my-triggersFollow Jordan BowmanJordan's Website: https://jbowman.org/journeymenJourneymen Triangle: https://journeymentriangle.org/Additional ResourcesSubscribe/Rate/Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐ BetterHelp: Get 10% Off Your First Month Of Therapy The ManKind Podcast has partnered with Betterhelp to make it easier for listeners to access licensed mental health therapists who can aid them in their mental health journey.

What are the pitfalls / paradoxes / possibilities / risks / benefits of engaging in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work as a White man?Dan Mahle is man I’ve been following in the ManKind Project for a decade. He’s always stood out to me because of his integrity in leadership, his truth-telling, and his compassion with Wholeheartedness.  We sat down to talk about his work with organizations and teams on building equitable culture, especially working with white men. It starts with knowing who we are … cultivating our innate sense of value and significance.What does it look like to lean into the resistance that many white men have around equity work? Do you feel like you’re walking on eggshells around this conversation? Dan has some incredible insights around how to move beyond this old frame. Find Dan Mahle: wholeheartedmasculine.org Book Recommendations: Resma Menakem - My Grandmother’s Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies Heather McKee - The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper TogetherLeticia Nieto - BetterHelp: Get 10% Off Your First Month Of Therapy The ManKind Podcast has partnered with Betterhelp to make it easier for listeners to access licensed mental health therapists who can aid them in their mental health journey.

Over the last 10 years, David has completed over 50 triathlons, including 15 Ironman-distance triathlons (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, 26.2-mile run), more than 50 runs longer than marathon distance, including several 24-hour runs, running 85 miles in Mexico in the heat of the summer, running 104 miles straight from Santa Barbara to Manhattan Beach, and most recently biking 4,700-miles in just six weeks as he met with the participants of his upcoming book exploring the emotional side of cancer.David made his way across and up the United States, covering 4,700 miles, and visited the participants of my book, which chronicles the lives of 15 people who were affected by cancer, either as patients, doctors, researchers, caregivers, or otherwise. These poignant, significant, meaningful, helpful stories cover many aspects of cancer: caregiving and research, emotional and intellectual journeys, various stages of life, and more, so that combined, these memoirs will give us a complete view of the human experience as it relates to cancer. David joins Brandon Clift and ManKind Podcast Producer and Editor Michael Russer, who is actively battling cancer, to discuss the profound lessons and topics covered in Cycle Of Lives. Key takeaways from this episode: A reframe for how to look at the cancer journey (Michael's Story),The importance of moving through the emotional chaos of illness instead of numbing and avoiding feelings. Common misunderstandings about what great support looks like for those experiencing the impacts of cancer/illness. Loved David Richman?

But it didn’t start with us. The provocative thesis that Ed puts forward is that our nature as men … the narrative we’re told about what it means to be man, has been corrupted. The current perspectives in anthropology, sociology, psychology, and neuroscience … are very different than what the academy has been saying for a long time. What if progress … as we’ve understood it … is killing us? We talk about the idea of ‘Circle and Arrow’ masculinity. And we talk about Integral thinking and how ‘Teal’ perspectives can help develop more soulful organizations to improve business performance. How can we help and support one another evolve our workplaces … and succeed. The bottom line … as you’ll hear Ed say in the episode ... is that Liberating Masculinity is about supporting men to move from rigid, cold, and isolated manhood … to embrace something more … in a world that needs men’s agility, warmth, and connection.How to Find Ed Frauenheim:Website: https://thetealteam.com/ Website: https://www.edfrauenheim.com/Book: Reinventing Masculinity: The Liberating Power of Compassion and ConnectionLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ed-frauenheim-685294/Additional Resources:Civilized t BetterHelp: Get 10% Off Your First Month Of Therapy The ManKind Podcast has partnered with Betterhelp to make it easier for listeners to access licensed mental health therapists who can aid them in their mental health journey.

Can we use spiritual awareness to dismantle racism? Put another way … How can we tap into our own sacred intelligence to empower change in the world? This week on the ManKind Podcast I’m with Rev. Dr. Terrlyn Curry Avery, the Reverend Dr. TLC. Regardless of your belief or non-belief this podcast might help you connect to a deeper sense of who you are as a motivated and passionate advocate for change … in all kinds of environments. Rev. Dr. TLC is the author of two books. Today we're talking about her newest book, ""What’s it like to be a Black Woman Pastor in the (mostly white) Presbyterian Church? What kinds of transformations are possible when we get willing to set aside old ways of seeing and hearing the world and living from a sacred purpose. There are three pillars in Sacred Intelligence. Sacred Motive, Self-ish Mindset, and Shared Movement.   In this podcast we dive into the journey of learning about our sacred intelligence and bringing it forward into the world. There are ways to make a difference.
