TERRY CREWS | The Path to True Masculine Power
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. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Forgiveness is needed for true reconciliation You can either have success or revenge True power is the ability to control your own emotions Using motivation as revenge leaves scars You have to challenge your own thinking Hollywood doesn’t care if you lose your family Loving your family vs. controlling them Traits of masculinity Toxic masculinity is really just abuse of power Masculinity is about being a servant and providing Intimacy is more satisfying than just sex Being the “bigger man” vs. being a little bitch Power is exercising restraint An effective movement must start with reconciliation We are more alike than different Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

VIC BLENDS | Turning Your Struggles Into Strengths
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. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Don’t take your blessings for granted Do what you believe in and everything else will handle itself What to look for in people in your inner circle Always practice gratitude Differentiating between your plan and God’s plan Find your part and play it well Learning lessons in the barber shop Education and reform in the prison system The importance of having conversations to change perspective Being able to communicate your message effectively Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

DAVE RUBIN | Thriving in Our Woke Dystopia
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. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: We had largely “solved” racism before bad policy brought it back The “woke” revolution is eating its own Humor is a great release valve The strength of liberalism is also it’s weakness Having feminine characteristics doesn’t make someone a woman We all live outside of our ideals and values at times How do you reason with unreasonable people?
