The UNcivilized Podcast with Traver Boehm

In this completely raw and unedited podcast I dive into the Not All Men hashtag. More importantly I dive into the very real issue of male violence and what we as men can do to be part of the real solution. Please forgive any sound quality issues, this was recorded and uploaded immediately as it needs to be out in the world. Please share this if you find it valuable. And remember — let others be safe as you walk among them. Cheers, Traver

There are circumstances in our life that we simply cannot control, and cancer is one of them. Today's guest is Themer Abourayan, an exceptional coach for whom I have affection and appreciation. Themer is a fantastic man and an example of overcoming. A man with brutal honesty that you can appreciate in today's episode. We will hear his story of how he survived cancer as a very young person and learned to overcome his anxiety by facing his demons in loneliness. Get inspired by today's episode and face your emotions, fears, and demons. ABOUT THEMER ABOURAYAN About 10 years ago Themer was dealing with a severe anxiety disorder as a result of having had cancer and surviving. In his search for answers he started his path of spiritual and personal growth. This inner work never stopped and ran like a thread through his life since then. He decided to quit his job as an executive in a fast paced commercial environment of a tech scale-up after specialising in body awareness, intimacy, sexuality, conscious relating and polarity. Today Themer guides men and women to connect deeper to their masculine and feminine essence. Next to that Themer uses his past experience as a leader in business to help entrepreneurs to cultivate conscious and serving leadership in their start- and scale-ups. In February of this year, he also birthed his newest project, LUVR, which focuses on making support on healthy relationships and sexuality accessible to the masses.

Society is so focused on labels that we label people as white or black, gay or straight, thin or fat, rich or poor, rather than humans from the moment they are born. The problem arises when instead of just being superficial physical characteristics, it becomes a definition of who you should be as a person. The moment you get out of the pattern of what that label entails, you become a threat to the established. Today's guest is Amir Odom, a person who breaks all labels. Amir decided not to try anymore and simply be himself after struggling to fit into the established black, gay, and conservative people standards. He is now a man who put aside what other people think about how he looks like, his race, sexual orientation, and political interests, and made his thoughts his identity. ABOUT AMIR ODOM He believes that everyone has the capability to become the best version of themselves. With a passion for self-development, new perspectives, and essentialism, it's his job to help people create the life they wish to live in.
