Stephen Jenkinson is a treasure, he’s also a three time Uncivilized Podcast guest, now speaking to us from a difficult place. Usually the man sitting with the dying, he’s now sitting with death himself.
In this conversation I wanted to ask Stephen all of the no bullshit questions I could, giving him no softballs and going straight into the heart of the matter. As he always does, he took my questions and made both poetry and wisdom out of them.
Truth be told, I had to breathe my way through this interview so as not to break down in tears myself. It’s raw and it’s real.
This episode is about life, sickness, and facing death in an UNcivilized manner
Cheers,
Traver

Kati Bird is the very first person to teach me about Shibari, the Japanese bondage system. She now travels the world leading workshops, working with couples and individuals and has zero apologies about a life lived way outside the box.
We sit down and dive right into how Kati went from being a wilderness guide to becoming one of the most sought after Shibari teachers in the world. How she manages a life on the road and most importantly about the incredible ways she teaches people to connect deeply to themselves, navigate their traumas, and express themselves in ways they never thought possible, all with rope.
This episode is about trust, human connection, and living a truly UNcivilized life.

Back for his second round on The UNcivilized Podcast, the man who trains Special Forces Operators on how to use chaos to their advantage and tap into their instinct and intuition. Don’t worry, his work is applicable to all — even the school children he teaches his programs to.
Angus Fletcher is the author of Primal Intelligence and a friend of ours at UNcivilized. In this conversation we dive into the future with AI, how to be harder to kill, and why having the ability to rapidly create a plan is the difference maker whether you’re hunting down an enemy, trying to grow your company to seven figures, or get along with your partner.
This is a fast paced episode filled with gems, so hang on to your hat!

Miles rote started his career as United States Marine, then became a Police Officer, then a Private Investigator, then a yoga teacher, and now runs one of the most successful book publishing companies in the world. Like me, he’s also a giant AI dork.
His life story is twisty, turny, and incredibly wild. We talk about choosing a path for your life, knowing when to make a hard pivot when your intuition tells you, why going all in is the only way to go — and stick around for the end of the episode when Miles openly shares about finding out the man he was told was his father, ended up not being so.
This episode is about overcoming obstacles, dealing with pain, and living a truly UNcivilized life.

Imagine dating in your twenties, getting married, and now in your mid forties or fifties, you’re back in the dating world — and it’s a mess!
In this conversation I chat with a woman who has built one of the largest match making and dating coaching businesses in the world. Hell, match.com tried to buy her last business!
While we joke and laugh through it all we do get down to what works and what doesn’t work for this age group. Andrea’s book The Second Act is written for singles over forty but is now being read by twenty and thirty somethings as well.
I had a blast with this conversation and am excited to share it with you.

Yep, you read the title correctly. This week I sit down with a young man from Colorado Springs who is planning on running 500 miles with a team of doctors and experts — all the while consuming LSD and psilocybin.
Wild to say the least. We jam on what originally created the idea for this project, how it will be managed, and what Dante hopes comes from it.
This episode is short and straight to the point.

Hell, even if you’re not one, this is an honest conversation about the massive initiation that is fatherhood.

Most people think this is about mental toughness. It's not.
This episode covers what I packed, what I wish I hadn't, what saved me, and what almost broke me. But more importantly — it’s about how surrender is the only real survival skill worth having.
I share the little rituals and practices that got me through the most intense parts of the experience, and what I'll be doing differently this time around. If you're planning your own deep dive, or just curious how to prepare for one, this episode is your guide. Practical, honest, and full of unexpected lessons from the dark.
Cheers,
Traver
There's a lot of talk about masculinity out there. Most of it's noise.
In the dark, I discovered a version of masculinity that had nothing to prove, nothing to fight, and nothing to perform. Just strength. Stillness. Surrender. This episode is about how darkness stripped me down to the bones--and what I found underneath.
I talk about the power of discipline without ego, devotion without force, and why surrender is one of the most misunderstood strengths a man can possess. If you're tired of performance-based masculinity, this one's a breath of fresh air.
Cheers,
Traver
Pain doesn't leave the body until it's been felt.
In this episode, I talk about how darkness forced me to feel the stuff I spent years running from--grief, heartbreak, shame. All of it. No therapist. No journal. Just pitch black silence and a willingness to not run.
I open up about what happened when I finally let the pain have a voice, and what healing looked like when there was no one around to witness it. This one's about shadow work, emotional truth, and what's possible when you stop trying to fix yourself and just sit with what is.
If you've been carrying something heavy for too long, listen to this. If you've ever wondered how healing actually happens--this is where it begins.
Cheers,
Traver
Ever sat still long enough to hear yourself think? What about long enough to hear yourself scream?
This episode is about the three characters that show up when the world goes quiet--fear, boredom, and madness. I met all three of them in the dark. Some of them became friends. Some... not so much.
I get into the games your mind plays when there's no one to distract you, and how facing these voices helped me reclaim parts of myself I didn't even realize I had buried. This is about going beyond self-help into self-reckoning. It's a wild one, and it might just mirror something you've felt but haven't named yet.
Cheers,
Traver
We live in a world built on distraction--dopamine loops, constant noise, nonstop input. But what happens when you take it all away?
In this one, I share what it felt like to remove every single thing I usually lean on--no Instagram, no podcasts, no books, no light. Just stillness and space. Spoiler alert: it sucked. Then it got profound.
This episode isn't just about silence--it's about withdrawal, confrontation, and ultimately transformation. I talk about the chaos that surfaced when I stopped numbing myself and what broke through once I made it through the noise. If you've ever wondered who you are without your coping mechanisms, this one's for you.
Cheers,
Traver
If you've ever wanted to run away from your life for a bit--or just hide in a closet with no phone--you're going to get this one.
In this episode, I dive into why I chose to sit in total darkness for 28 days... and why I'm going back in for 49. No phone. No light. No distractions. Just me, my mind, and whatever monsters show up when there's nothing else to hold onto.
It wasn't just an escape--it was a full-on confrontation with myself. And in that confrontation, I found answers I didn't even know I was looking for.
This episode is a window into the madness, the medicine, and the real reason I think every human needs a version of this. If you've ever felt the need to reset, unplug, or just get real with yourself — this one's for you.
Cheers,
Traver
In this episode I’ll talk about why so many of us find ourselves in a constant cycle of self betrayal all in the name of fitting in and being loved. OY!
We all do it to some degree, but once you see how you betray yourself in the name of keeping and creating connection and belonging, your life will change forever. I’ll share with you a single sentence that you can apply to any form of self betrayal so you do just that — see it plane site — and then make the conscious decision to stop living against your value.
Alignment isn’t easy but it’s pure freedom.

If you’re a man who has sex, or know one who does, this episode is for you.
Taylor Johnson used to be addicted to porn. Heavily. And like so many men, it destroyed his sex life. It led to erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, depression and anxiety. Sounds great doesn’t it?After putting himself through a series of abstinence experiments his whole life began to change — both in the bedroom with successful and gratifying sex, as well as outside of hit with a massive increase in his income.
Taking that ball and running with it, Taylor then went on to study with the greats in tantra, sacred sexuality, and energetics. He now teaches men how to be extraordinary lovers as well as living kick ass lives.
I loved this conversation and am excited to share it with you.

In this episode I’ll talk about five of the most important factors for you to consider if you’re in a breakup or divorce.
My writing career kicked off with a book about how to use the pain of your breakup or divorce to transform your life, so this is my bread and butter! Since that book I’ve worked with thousands of people who are now on the other side of heartbreak and most are living lives they never thought possible.
Knowing these are the keys to the kingdom:
— You will be okay, you just won’t be for a bit
— It’s okay to not be okay
— You won’t die, but part of you will and that’s a good thing
— Pain is fuel (this is a BIG one)
— The reasons your breakup happened can lead you to a goldmine.
Heartbreak is brutal, but on the other side of it can be a freedom you only dreamed of.

In this episode I speak with renowned author Dr. Douglas Thomas on what makes people tick in the bedroom and beyond it.
After reading Dr. Thomas’s book, The Deep Psychology of BDSM & Kink while in Costa Rica, I reached out to Dr. Thomas to see if he’d come on the podcast with me. He agreed and magic was made. We talk archetypes, the power of our sexuality, and at the end dive into the changes that AI and robotics may have on our bedroom lives.
I loved this conversation and am excited to share it with you.

In this episode I’ll talk about how and why you need to get past the idea that people who don’t live like you do or even want to, are supposed to understand you.
If there’s one thing that needs to be navigated in order to live a life outside of the box — it’s being misunderstood. This comes from family, friends, and of course, perfect strangers who have internet access to you.
Learning to work through what’s different about you (these are good things) and owning the fact you can’t have uncommon or UNcivilized outcomes while being celebrated by folks trapped in the matrix is a big deal.
And on the other side of it is freedom.

If you’re curious how to build more trust, devotion, and polarity in your relationship, this episode is for you.
Ever wonder what really happens in a relationship dynamic where both parties have agreed to a complete Dom/sub relationship? Ever wonder how that dynamic could help you be a better partner in your own relationship, no matter how it’s put together?
In this candid conversation with Andrew from Infinite Devotion, we get into all the pros, cons, and learning lessons he and his wife Dawn have had on their journey from a burnt out, borderline cliche married couple, to one thriving in a new dynamic.

Every time I have a client say their stuck because they’re afraid of either failure or success I roll my eyes and say — OH LORD. No you’re not. You’re afraid of the unknown. The deep unknown. The things you can’t even conceptualize right now.
And — you need to start anyway. Anyone and everyone you know who’s done something outside of their comfort zone has had the exact same stuck feeling.
Stick around to the end of this already short episode where I give you three ways to get unstuck immediately.

Considering the fact that it’s reason the species perpetuates, the difference between friendships and romantic relationships, as well as a MASSIVE source of both life’s pleasures and pain — it’s shocking that we don’t have more open and honest conversations about sex.
In this episode I get to ask Dr. Kelly all the questions you men ask me, covering such topics and erectile disfunction, premature ejaculation, and even what happens if you “break” your penis — not something I have experience with or knowledge of, but apparently it happens!

NAME YOUR YEAR—START YOURS NOW
It’s February. Too late.
(No it's not.)
For years, men and women around the world have kicked off their journeys with my powerful ritual—Naming Your Year.
It’s not a resolution.
Not a wish list.
Not another empty promise.
It’s a stake in the ground. A declaration. A call to something greater.
In this recorded call, Traver and the uncivilized crew walk you through the process of claiming your year, setting your intention, and stepping into the version of yourself that refuses to live on autopilot.
It doesn’t matter if January slipped by in a haze.You can start today.

Let’s talk tantric sex, full body non ejaculatory orgasms, psychedelics, and the dark masculine…
In this episode with renowned Men’s Leader Adayemi Adayosoye we get into all of it. We cover the conditioning and patterning that leads men to live lives of drudgery and quiet misery rather than truth and ecstatic joy.
This is a powerful episode for men who are ready to live in a completely separate reality from the one you’re most likely walking around in. Listen at your discretion!

In this episode you get to peak behind the coaching curtain and watch me work one-on-one with a man who’s struggling bringing structure into his life. This is showing up in his challenge around meal planning and workout programming, as well as the deeper issue at hand:— This is a protection mechanism keeping him from getting what he really wants.
What does he really want? A deep connection with the men in his life. A deep connection with friends and loved ones. And of course, not take all of the time and energy that he’s spending keeping every single option open to him (how exhausting) and use that time and energy to reach a higher purpose.
This is potent conversation about responsibility, maturity, and discipline and how all three actually do foster more feelings and experiences of freedom.

If you’re a Nice Guy, or someone who is going through a breakup or divorce — then this episode is for you.
In this edition of the UNcivilized Podcast, I have a man from my Kill The Nice Guy community who asked me a straight up question:
How do I heal these Nice Guy parts of me?
And boy do we get into it. As someone who figured out he was a Nice Guy during my own divorce, I had a lot to say on this topic.
First about the painful power of initiation, then about the root causes of Nice Guy behavior and how he can start to heal himself without years of therapy.
This was an incredible conversation about topics so many men struggle with.
This is a powerful episode and I’m grateful of the openness of my guest.

Gavin Meenan is a world-class men’s coach in Ireland. But he wasn’t always. At one point, he was a porn-addicted young father, buried in grief and shame.
And it wasn’t until his porn use became public when videos of him in chat rooms made their way around the internet that he was able to shift his life forever.
In his candid and open conversation, Gavin and I discuss the secret addiction so many men suffer with and how you can start to change it. Porn’s not going anywhere, in fact it’s only going to become more personalized and prevalent.

In this episode Hendrix and I dive into the ways men end up trapped with money, stuck in debt, and otherwise feeling disempowered when it comes to their finances.
We talk about common stories men hold and how to break them — mostly by creating an actual relationship with money they’ve never had before.
We also dig into why so many men who say they want to make millions and millions of dollars are actually terrified of doing so and secretly sabotaging their own wealth.
AND — this is not just a conversation men should listen to, it’s packed with gems for anyone who’s interested in making more money, saving more money, and feeling more free.

So, it is time to press play and start knowing how to build these connections, your integrity as men, and feel the freedom to be yourself.

What is interesting is what he’s done with his life going from a home where his condition wasn’t able to be spoken about to running a world wide organization brining awareness and resources to kids with disabilities in developing countries.

In this edition of the UNcivilized Podcast, I have a man from my Kill The Nice Guy community who shares his pattern of not doing what he needs to in a timely manner. Then guilting and shaming himself for the procrastination.

I’m taking the mic again for this short yet powerful episode on what I see as a major pain point for me — being disconnected from our instinct and intuition.
What blocks access to this powerful source of guidance and information you ask?
Any shame or guilt you have about being a man.
In this episode I share conversations I’ve had with a number of men in the past week and invite you to challenge anyone who tells you it’s not good to be a man.
I also share with you how you can tap into your power, your purpose, and peace — all by trusting your gut.

I’ve been waiting YEARS to interview Kristal Desantis as she is a therapist for men. And she’s a woman so her view and understanding of men is unique.
In this episode we explore a number of challenges men have, primarily in relationships, but then take a plunge on the question of whether vulnerability is actually healthy in men’s relationships.
This is a great conversation I know you’ll enjoy.

If you’re a Nice Guy, or someone who has shame around their financial situation, this episode is for you!
In this edition of the UNcivilized Podcast, I have a man from my Kill The Nice Guy community who shares his story of losing his job, right when he and his new girlfriend are just getting together.
This had the potential to throw him down the stairs of shame and he shares with us how he prevented that from happening. This is big.
We talk openly about the shame so many men have with their finances and debt and how you can work with both without falling down a spiral of self loathing or self hatred.

As the nature of relationship rapidly changes and people begin looking for alternate ways of constructing their relational and sexual lives, teachers like Sophie have been continually sought out.
Sophie’s creation of the Cosmic Masculine puts both men and women into a relational frame that’s both devotional and sacred while allowing infinite space for the down to Earth parts of our being as well.
This idea is ahead of its time and will upset many people! Yet those who grasp it will be richly rewarded.

On Sunday July 7th at 9:30 in the morning, my father passed. I was there with my Mom, holding his hand as he took his final breaths.
While this is a very private moment to share, there are elements to it that I know will touch you and hopefully inspire you in all of your relationships.
In this solo episode I touch on three of the key parts of this experience, one from the wild lead up to the decision of when to go back home, my nightly vigils with him, a hard choice I had to make the morning of his death
This is recorded and shared with the hope that everyone listening gets the opportunity for both closure and open heartedness with their own parents.

If you’re a Nice Guy, or someone with loose boundaries, this episode is for you.
In this edition of the UNcivilized Podcast, I have a man from my Kill The Nice Guy community who in a tough spot.
He’s in a relationship that he values but his partner has an unreasonable demand — she wants him to check in with her every hour on the hour.
We get real here with why he’s letting her request keep him stuck, what may be happening on her end with her avoidant behaviors, and how he can navigate showing up with integrity and alignment with her — or leaving a situation that is unsustainable.

Let’s be honest — it’s challenging to be in relationship these days, and that’s because there’s so much conflicting information out there.
Men are supposed to lead! But only at the magical right time…
Men are supposed to be protectors! But that’s also toxic…
Men are supposed to be emotionally connected to their women! But don’t show emotion because that’s weakness…
In this episode we bring back one of the Top 5 most listened to episodes of the Uncivilized Podcast just for you.

I believe there are three levels or stages of relationship you can engage in:
— Extractive & Transactional
— Character & Role Playing
— Sacred, Divine, & Uncivilized
Each stage also has sexual level associated with it…
If you’re curious about what’s available to you relationally and sexually, this is the episode for you. It’s a punch solo where I break down each stage and what you can expect if you’re in it.

Today I sit down with renowned men’s mental health coach, Elise Michaels for the second time on the pod.
Elise is a force in the men’s world with over a million followers across her many channels. In this episode we speak into a variety of topics from her work with men, how men can help shift out of rock bottom, and of course — the last two years of Elise’s life.
She’s recently ended an abusive relationship with an ex partner and found herself fully immersed in Christianity. As an interviewer I am as interested in the person behind the mic as I am in their work and know you will walk away from this episode with a ton of knowledge on how to live your life more openly and powerfully.
As well as getting to hear how Elise pulled herself out of hell and found herself walking in her spirituality in an entirely new way.

In my experience of over twenty years of coaching humans, most of you will get stuck in one place — needing permission.
Whether that’s to write your book, start your business, or even just be the healthiest one in your family, permission is a big wall for many people to climb.
And — it may not be the only wall.
In this short, potent solo episode I break down the three reasons why most people don’t achieve their dreams and how you can start to change that immediately.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever struggled with the idea that you need permission to live life on your terms, to build what you want to build, and to go for something big.On the call is a young man named JC who’s struggling to go against the conditioning he grew up with to play it safe, “get a good job,” and do what’s reasonable. Here at UNcivilized we have no place for reasonable and playing it safe.
We’re all about following your heart and soul and letting them guide you deep into the life you truly want to life.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever struggled with anger and don’t see the connection between having loose or porous boundaries — and the resentment and anger that naturally builds up.
On the call is a man named Kevin who gives and gives and gives and also has a lot of built up anger for the people in his life who end up leaving. This is such a common experience for all of us who struggle holding strong boundaries.
Give this a lesson as I walk Kevin through creating a strong, healthy boundary with his daughter who also happens to be his employee.

This past month I’ve been on the phone with far too many men who are stuck in bad relationships — and refuse to leave them.
Why? Because they’ve made it some sort of badge of honor to stay and suffer rather than leave and start over. In this episode I break down how you can shift areas of your marriage or relationship, and then why it’s more than okay, no matter what society tells you, to seek your happiness elsewhere.

This episode is going to upset a lot of folks because, well, I’m in support of both movements despite the massive implications they will have societally. And I see them both as canaries in the relationship coal mine indicative of massive changes that need to come forward.

I’ve often talked about and taught the notion of Attachment vs Authenticity when it comes to Nice Guy work. And the idea of attachment is real — but it’s taken me a few years of working with it and hearing about it quite often for it truly to stick.
Thus I’m now shifting to talking about Belonging vs Authenticity — especially with but not exclusive to Nice Guys.
In this short solo episode I break down why your need to belong may be strangling you of your authentic expression and I give you three steps on how to begin to shift the tides

“What were the most transformative parts of men’s work for you?”
I dive into the top three for you so you can decide for yourself if these are pieces you want to try on yourself.

I actually did walk through the woods to go to school, and sometimes it was freezing. I figured out pretty early on that there are a lot of guys who get things handed to them where I didn't. I also figured out I wasn't the smartest but I had the willingness and ability to outwork just about anybody. But we all had one thing in common.
Failure to launch.
We all hit "failure to launch" in our lives, multiple times. The way you get out of that rut is...

After BDSM teacher Andy Buru came into The UNcivilized Nation and dropped this notion for all of us, I’ve been seeing how potent of an idea this is — balancing space holding and selfishness actually is. AND how confronting it is for so many people to lean into the one that’s not their natural way.
In this short solo episode I break down why being able to do both will change your sex life, your income, and your relationships at large.

In this episode I tackle one of my favorite topics — being a Nice Guy (or Cool Girl). Since this is my background and our most popular course, I’m diving in and giving you three concrete ideas for you to apply right now to start to shift this paradigm in your life.
- You will NOT get what you want in life JUST making other people happy.
- The life you want will cost you the one you have.
- You’re so much closer to the life you want than you think.

In this episode I sit down with Lama Justin von Bujdoss and talk about many things. Namely, his experience in a 49 day dark retreat, his time working in hospice, as well as his career as a prison chaplain.

One of the pains so many people experience is from looking back on their lives and thinking they wasted time with a particular chapter. I hear this in workshops and with my private clients.
“Gosh, if I hadn’t spent those 5 years studying agriculture and instead had 5 more years in my current profession of real estate development.” Or something like this.
In this punchy solo episode I share about my own journey to becoming the founder of The UNcivilized Movement and how it was anything but a straight path. And why every “misstep” along the way was actually a crucial part of the journey.

This episode is powerful. In it I get to sit down with the great Ralek Gracie. Born into Jiujitsu royalty Ralek has spent his life on the mat, in the ring, and in the cage. His life was about little else than jiujitsu and being a Gracie.
Yet a business failure and the subsequent introspection took his life down a completely separate path, one of art, authenticity, and unapologetic expression.
In this episode you’ll get a VIP pass into Ralek’s journey and how you can immediately apply the lessons it’s taught him.

A few months ago I was at breakfast with the great Duey Freeman, chewing on some bacon and talking about the future of the Nation. He asked me a million dollar question:
“How do you now define an UNcivilized Man?”
I answered, “Well, he’s raw…he’s real…”
And Duey finished my sentence, “And he’s relational.”
In this short solo episode I breakdown what this means and how you can apply it in your life starting today.

In this short solo episode I break down the two steps you can start to take immediately to live an UNcivilized life — ie. THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS.
I’ll give them to you here but you’re still going to have to do the work yourself. Or another way to say that is, “You GET to go on the ride of your life if you do this.”
The steps are:
1) Figure out what you ACTUALLY want
2) Go build that
Yep, once you make this your way of life all kinds of amazing and challenging things happen for you and to you, but is there any other kind of life you’d rather live?
It’s an UNcivilized life for me. Forever.

Why do people fear darkness? The answer lies in its uncontrollability. Darkness stirs up the deepest corners of our minds, like a blank canvas for our deepest fears. It's like being trapped in a horror movie with no escape.
In this second part of our "Darkness" series, Traver Boehm and Katie Sroka are diving deep into the idea of darkness as an entity, unraveling the reasons behind people's profound fear of it.
Looking ahead, there's something on the horizon. As Traver approaches his 49th birthday, he's got some big plans. What's he got in store? Will he face the darkness once more? You'll have to tune in to this episode to discover it all.
As for you, could you handle an experience like this? Let us know in the comments!

Just imagine, 28 days in total darkness – now that's something wild, right? Well, get ready to hear a wild journey through an interview.
In this episode, things take an interesting turn as the interviewer becomes the interviewee. Our dear Katie Sroka takes the host chair and delves into Traver's profound experience: spending 28 days in total darkness.
For those not in the loop, in 2016, Traver found himself locked in a pitch-black room in Guatemala, an event that would dramatically reshape his life. Throughout those demanding 28 days, he grappled with solitude and the absence of light, pushing his mental strength to its limits.
In that time, he battled to keep his sanity, wrestling with questions of who he was and what life meant to him. His understanding of mortality deepened as he contemplated his own life while immersed in the abyss.
Today, Traver no longer dreads death; he embraces it as a companion and motivator, propelling him to make the most of every moment in life. The darkness, once intimidating, has now become his home.
This is Part 1 of 2.
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR:
[03:28] The alternative perspective: Katie's viewpoint.
[09:51] What did Traver need to do during those days to maintain his mental well-being?
[14:39] How did the experience of darkness impact Traver after he left it?
[17:13] Traver's connection with death and his current perspective on it.

Howdy folks. In this short solo episode I talk about one of the blocks many people have when it comes to social media and the self development space — making the person they follow into a Guru.
After years spent in the trenches of the Self Development world, I can tell you — we are all human. And many people are not what they seem. At all.
Give this 10 minutes of your time and you’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on who you follow.

It's the third and final week for my team to interview me.
This week it's Erin, lovingly referred to as the Director of Traver (we'll explain that title in the podcast). Together we dove into what made and still makes Traver UNcivilized, and a few specific questions from a woman's perspective of how to connect with men. Our conversation perfectly rounds out this series and I hope you love it as much as I did.
Cheers,
Traver
It's week two for the Team at UNcivilized to interview me!
This week it's Malina, our Director of Operations, and let's just say she isn't thrilled about speaking into a microphone. But like a typical member of the UNcivilized world, she showed up full stop. She's asked me some very deep questions, in typical Malina fashion, and I just love her for it. She made me think and she made me feel. Enjoy!
Cheers,
Traver
The people who work at Team UNcivilized are as committed to helping end the suffering in men to help the suffering caused by men as I am. For the next few weeks, you'll get to hear them interview me.
First up is Denise. Our Director of Design, Denise does so much more than that. Sure, she was sweating through half this recording, but she also asked me some incredible questions about my own background. Some of it might surprise you.

In this live class with my Kill The Nice Guy Group, I dive head first into the power of figuring out your needs SPECIFICALLY as a man, understanding and expressing what you want in this world, then having the healthy boundaries to make sure your life is in integrity.
This is a hard hitting class, recorded with 50 men on a call so please excuse the casual nature. Needs, wants, and boundaries are beyond important for any man, but especially if you want to live an extraordinary life.

We hear a LOT about Nice Guys, especially around the UNcivilized. Many men come to men’s work after discovering that they themselves are Nice Guys and this is their entree point onto the path of becoming whole as a man.
But what is the female equivalent of Nice Guy? And how do you spot it whether you’re in the dating world or not.
In this short solo episode I break down the Good Girl, how to spot her, and why, just like the Nice Guy, what sounds great at first…doesn’t last.

In this quick and dirty solo episode I’m answering a question I got on Instagram about what exactly boundaries are and how to set them and keep them.
Boundaries are the special sauce of relationships. With them your relationships will thrive and can last forever. Without them you will slowly build up resentment and until you explode. Trust me as I speak from personal experience on this.
I’m diving into how to understand boundaries more deeply, why you need them, and the magic sentence that you can use to enforce them.

We men often don’t stop and ask ourselves, “Whose rules am I playing by? Are they mine? Do they work for me? What if I changed them?”
In this short solo episode I share a conversation I had with a man after Jiujitsu who has changed his entire outlook on life just by questioning whose rules he was living by.
This is especially important for Nice Guys who often aren’t playing by ONE set of someone else’s rules but changing depending on who is in front of them.
This episode is hard hitting and will help you shift both your perspective and your actions to be more aligned with you want to be!
Enjoy.

So many men are stuck thinking in this one certain way — I have to make everyone else happy before I’ll have a good life. And that’s a death sentence to your hopes, dreams, and confidence.
In this live call with the men in my Kill The Nice Guy Group I dive into how to shift this limiting thought into a powerful one. One that will change every way you exist in the world, and how the world interacts with you.

I wish I had a more easily understood term for the words Covert Contracts, but I don’t…yet.
And — everyone has these secret, one-way agreements in our relationships that slowly build resentment, erode trust, and actually prevent us from getting the very needs we’re desperate to get met from doing just that.
In this solo episode I break down what a Covert Contract is, how you can spot them in your relationship, and how you can STOP using them and instead speak your needs directly. Enjoy

Any time a potential client tells me they’ve recently had three major losses or setbacks, I take a deep breath and listen carefully. So often this is their soul’s way of completely reorganizing their lives in a far more aligned way than it’s ever been before.

I’ll also give you tangible ways of navigating this challenging period.

Fear of rejection shows up in many less than obvious ways. It can be the difference between speaking your mind and keeping quiet, sharing your post or deleting before anyone gets a chance to read it.
Many people believe there’s a switch you can flip and suddenly this deep fear will just disappear. This is not the case that I have found. However, there are actions you can take and frames you can adopt to make your fear of rejection go from a huge burden in your life to a roommate who lives alone in your basement.
Give this episode a listen if you’re dealing with some fear of rejection. Please share this as well.

Life is a short and unique journey that should be cherished and maximized to its fullest potential. It is crucial not only to prioritize our own personal growth but also to assist others in doing the same. In the modern era, we have become more conscious of the significance of mental health. However, despite being familiar with the subject, we often neglect our own internal struggles.
Mental health plays a fundamental role in many people's lives, and it is one of the main reasons why some men decide to take their own lives. It is disheartening to contemplate the lost lives that could have been saved if these individuals had sought help or received support from their loved ones.
In today's episode, we will have Anson Whitmer and Tyler Sheaffer as our guests. They will shed light on the importance of prioritizing mental health and introduce us to an application called Mental, specifically designed for men with a focus on mental health care.
Let us approach this topic with the seriousness it deserves and make a conscious effort to take care of our mental well-being. Seeking support is not a sign of weakness but a courageous act undertaken by strong individuals. It requires adopting a "badass" attitude, characterized by bravery and a willingness to confront and address our mental health challenges.
ABOUT ANSON WHITMER
When he was young, two close male relatives of his took their own lives. This experience motivated him to pursue a PhD in Neuroscience and develop the Calm app. Anson has personally witnessed how our current societal dialogue on mental health fails to resonate with men. It lacks a focus on men's specific needs. Considering that men account for 80% of suicides, addressing this crisis requires innovative approaches to support men's mental well-being.
Out of the thousands of mental health apps available, Mental is the first one that has been designed from the ground up with men in mind.
ABOUT TYLER SHEAFFER
Tyler Sheaffer is a product engineer who played a pivotal role in building the Calm app. He dedicated his skills and expertise to the development of the app. Additionally, Tyler is an avid ocean paddler, engaging in this activity on a daily basis.

Embrace the wisdom of your years and let it shine brightly! Elderhood ain't the time to fade away - it's your time to illuminate the world with your experience and love.As we journey through life, we often think about the legacy we want to leave behind. It's a big question that can bring up all sorts of emotions - from pride to anxiety. Today, we've got two incredible guests, Stephen Jenkinson and Kimberly Johnson, who are going to help shed some light on this question.
Together, we're going to explore their latest book, "Reckoning," and dive into topics like spirit work, elderhood, grief and plague, and building culture in a time where self-interest often comes first.

Talking about gender equality is great. We should keep doing it, but there's a missing piece in the equality conversation: men.

Life is trying to sucker-punch men in the face.
We are either too manly or not manly enough, but to be honest, masculinity has no definition. So, what society is trying to say is that no matter what men do, there's something wrong with us.
Men have learned to fight and to put up barriers because life for us has become a boxing ring where everyone expects to get our asses kicked.
Even though life is hard, today, we bring you a fascinating and inspiring episode to make your day better. You will be listening to the story and point of view of Rob Bailey.

So many men come to me AFTER a breakup in shock that it happened. The conversation almost immediately starts with, “And I did everything for her, especially all the things her ex’s didn’t do.”
And I know this man was doomed from the start. Why? Who really wants to date Superman? And what man can keep up this facade before falling on his face exhausted?
In this solo episode I outline the Superman Complex in dating and how you can either shift it if you’re in a relationship, or avoid it in your next one.
Enjoy,
Traver

A trend I’ve noticed recently in the Men’s world is a lot of black and white messaging. All men are this. All men do that.
Brothers, this kind of thinking and messaging is seductive because it’s easy. It’s also lazy. Being a man means being on an ever changing spectrum that requires you to ask yourself questions and adjust along the way.
In this solo episode I break this down further and also introduce you to our Behind The Masks of Men series.
Enjoy,
Traver

Postpartum depression is common among women but can affect men too.
We have come a long way in science to understand the impact the arrival of a new baby has on the parent's mental health.
Although hormonal and physical changes can predispose pregnant mothers to mood swings that can lead to depression, supportive fathers are also at risk for it.
To dive into this subject, the acupuncturist and co-founder of the Council of Fathers, Noah Goldstein, will join us in this episode.
If you're struggling with men's postpartum depression, this episode may be helpful for you. Remember, you're not alone.
ABOUT NOAH GOLDSTEIN
Becoming a father has been one of the most significant rites of passage he has experienced.
Noah spent most of his adult life trying to understand how to live a richer, wholesome, and fulfilling life. He has spent all his time as a father working to heal himself and learning how to be in a better relationship with his partner and children.
He is also an acupuncturist through his private practice Heartseed Health.
When he is not working or spending time with family, he loves being out in nature, running, gardening, or making art.

In America, it is more common to talk about disgusting things around children than to teach them about sex.
Raising children without sexual education may result in teen pregnancy, sexual diseases, or sexually frustrated adults who may or may not be a danger to society.
To dive into this topic, Lisa Chatham joined us in this episode. She is a psychotherapist passionate about helping men convicted of sex crimes return to being functional men within society.
Today we will talk about sex crimes, consent, taboo, and how to improve your sex life as a couple through conversations.

In this solo episode I explore the single most important sentence a man can say to himself and know about himself — I am a man.
This conversation stems from the hundreds of men I’ve worked with in my life who were told that “being a man” wasn’t important or was a secondary or tertiary thought.
It is not. It is primary. And when it becomes so in your life, everything changes.
Enjoy,
Traver

Never before had I met a man so interested in ending the suffering of men and the suffering caused by men like Stephen Jenkinson.
As you may know, it is one of the many times that we have had Stephen as our guest, and it is because this man speaks with such wisdom that it is impossible not to learn something from him.

I promise you will love this episode. Stephen spoke in such a poetic way that it will make you feel like you are having a piece of his tour. Can't miss it.

No matter how many times you feel stagnant or hit bottom, remember that even in the desert, the flowers blossom.
I'm not trying to sound poetic, but today's guest story reminds me of desert flowers blossoming amid the drought, in isolation, and under brutal circumstances.
For this episode, Saora Love will join the conversation. She is a men's coach and what I find most fascinating about her is not only her desire to help others but her story of self-improvement.
To put you in context, Saora experienced many difficult moments in her life from a young age, but none of them were as tough as the time she spent three years in prison in India for cannabis possession, leading her to miss her sister's wedding — the moment she understood the seriousness of her imprisonment.
In this episode, you will hear not only Saora's story but also about healing, meditation, embodiment, and how we can start to be more present and aware of our bodies as men.
ABOUT SAORA LOVE
Saora Love is a mentor and guide for people who want more intimacy, cohesion and harmony in their lives.
She is mostly focused on helping us all understand each other more, particularly from a standpoint of radical self responsibility.
Saora often says she's been blessed to live a life of a lot of suffering. This has given her a lot of street cred and she has learnt to be able to navigate life with a lot of awareness. Because of this she is able to support others on their journey to wholeness, and is able to really see and understand the intricacies of what's really going on in people's lives.
She works with women to help them understand themselves, and to specifically understand men more.
She works with men to help them understand more of what's needed for embodiment and wholeness and to understand what women want. She gives powerful reflections from a deeply attuned feminine system.

The power to change is within you and depends on you.
When we feel like we've hit rock bottom, sometimes, we wait and pray for a hand that comes to save us. However, even if they do, the greatest help will always come from us because we are the only ones who can heal our traumas, problems, and deep wounds.
At the bottom, all we find is loneliness — it is just our mind and body. We are the only people we have to deal with daily. Therefore, we are responsible for keeping falling or starting to rise.
In this episode, we'll be talking about change, loneliness, and overcoming with our guest George Bryant who leaves us with an impressive quote, "make yourself a home."
ABOUT GEORGE BRYANT
He has been homeless, bullied, abused, and in combat. George is a New York Times best-selling author, the 7-figure entrepreneur, the Crossfitter, the veteran with PTSD, the family man, the marketing guy, and now… he's home.

Imagine growing up and realizing that your dad was one of history's greatest cultural icons and martial arts master, Bruce Lee.
Being the daughter of one of the most famous people in the world, today's guest, Shannon Lee, had to find her own identity within the Lee Family. Unlike many children of celebrities, her deep love for her father and his philosophy led her to carry his last name and her father's legacy with pride.
Shannon lost her father at the age of four, and unlike many people think, only four years of her life helped her to discover the real essence of her father, growing a desire in her of getting to know him more personally through his memories.
Today, on Bruce Lee's birthday, we want to celebrate by sharing this episode with you.
Enjoy!

Our military and first responders receive so much training in preparation for their careers in service, but so little training in preparation to send them back out into the civilian world.
In this Veteran's Day bonus episode I sit wit Dave Boyd, a former firefighter, police officer, SWAT, active military and current president of Man UNcivilized, to discuss what veterans and first responders need to hear. We unpack what they are NOT taught as service members returning to civilian life and what they desperately need for that transition.
Yours UNcivilized,

We seek to solve problems like toxic masculinity in men when our focus should be given to boys to avoid these types of struggles in their adulthood.
Our childhood and how we are educated greatly influence our mentality and way of thinking. That is why giving the necessary education to children is essential for their development.
In this new episode, we will have Richard Reeves, the author of Of Boys and Men, as our guest. Richard and I will talk about why the modern male is struggling, why the education system should change, and why a healthy father figure is important in the development of children. We will also talk about why spaces for men are seen as anti-feminist.
We will touch on interesting topics that you cannot miss. Let's get started!

So many men are frozen.
So many men are riddled with anxiety.
So many men want yet have convinced themselves they cannot have.
Why?
Their fear of the unknown. And the fear they have with the unknown stems from not cultivating a relationship with themselves AND the unknown parts of their lives.
In this solo episode I break down some concrete ways to liberate yourself from the stories in your head and the grip of fear in your stomach and live more fully.
Yours UNcivilized,

Did you know that the lack of connection can lead us to depression, addiction, infidelity, and even a midlife crisis? A society that celebrates function has forced hundreds of men to think logically, suppressing their emotions and sweeping them under the rug. What we do not know is that this is an error that later in life, it will be difficult for us to solve. In this episode, we will be joined by Elise Micheals. She is a mental health coach for men, and perhaps you may think that she doesn't know how to help men because she is a woman. Elise's knowledge about men and her point of view is impressive — I even took out some golden nuggets from this conversation. With Elise, we will talk about trauma, connection, disconnection, and how the latter affects us in our lives and relationships. We will dive into the midlife crisis and how to prevent it from affecting us. ABOUT ELISE MICHEALS Men's mental health coach. She helps clients heal subconscious trauma, improving the quality of their relationships, lives, and business. With her own exploration of trauma therapy, relationship science, neuroscience, NLP, and therapy of her own, she was able to pinpoint the cycles and behaviors that ultimately always led to her demise. Now she helps men, as many men are silenced when it comes to emotions. This causes their struggles to be compounded and makes it even more difficult to process.

In this solo episode I dive head first into uncharted relationship waters, first talking about why there’s so much shame thrown on men who are single by choice. I then tackle what I think is the REAL relationship issue — the standard relationship paradigm doesn’t work with the male nervous system.
This episode is bound to upset a lot of people, be warned.

As children, our lives and decisions were driven by the wishes and dreams that our caregivers placed upon us. However, everything changes when we grow up and start to make decisions on our own. We become the drivers of our future, so at some point, it is important to ask ourselves: what do I want to do with my life?
In this episode, we will be joined by Alex Weber, a man with an interesting biography.
When you press play, today you will hear a story about how the decisions we make can lead us to live the greatest moments of our life.
Remember, we only live one.

In this solo episode, I take a listener’s challenge he’s having in his relationship and dive into it.
He had found that he and his wife were in a pattern of ending the day sitting on the coach, watching tv night after night. They weren’t talking, they weren’t connecting and they weren’t having sex.
This is an episode for anyone in a relationship or anyone who plans to be in a relationship!

This former gang member sentenced to 24 years in prison is the perfect example of how transformation exists if we feel supported and heard.
Today's guest is Eldra Jackson. At just 14 years old, Eldra was convicted of a series of gang violence crimes. Locked up in prison, he had to live alone with his mind due to the environment around him until the Inside Circle community gave him the opportunity to transform himself.
Eldra, who is the Co-executive Director of the aforementioned non-profit community, teaches incarcerated, former, and young people to achieve self-acceptance. He says self-awareness is capable of great things within us.
Listen to this magnificent story of overcoming and healing, where a man “found freedom in a life sentence.”

There is a belief that the first responders are broken after their service. Although it is not entirely untrue—since some suffer from PTSD—there is always room to heal.
Today's guest is Tom Gaines, a man passionate about serving and helping others. This led him to serve as a military and special force for several years.
In this episode, Tom will be talking about service and the importance of aligning your values with those of the organizations you work for or serve. Furthermore, we will dive into the challenges that come with being a man in today's society, and the feeling of loneliness for first responders.
You're not alone. There are always people willing to help you.

The son of a military father, Tom studied history at the University of Tennessee.
At 17, he was an army officer, taking him to serve in Iraq and Naples, Italy.

This episode is inspired by an Instagram message I got asking how I built a powerful network of amazing male friends.
It’s not lost on me that many men suffer from a lack of friendship, or are dissatisfied with the depth they have with their friend group. I count myself as extremely fortunate to have the circle I do.
In this episode I dive into ways that men can build and maintain deep friendships with other men.

Men and relationship are often considered to be like oil and water, but why is that? When I asked my audience what questions they have as men, and for men, about relationship challenges — my inbox was flooded. For this special episode of the podcast, we recorded a live call with over 100 people in attendance and took questions from the audience about how men can be more successful in relationship and how people in relationships with men can better understand them. Hang on to your hat for this one!

This is a major block for so many men — and it shouldn’t be.
Doing personal work, growth work, and/or healing work is the furthest thing from selfish.
In fact, it’s the opposite. The stronger and healthier you make yourself, the more you can provide and guide those around you.
In this quick and dirty solo episode, I dive into all of this. If it lands, please share it with one man in your life.

In this episode Duey Freeman, Michael Gay and I sit down and break down what we learned after four intense days with 30 men in a workshop. We dive into the power of loneliness and the intense ways it affects men. We chat about the necessity of having a relationship with the land under your feet and how so many men truly do want to be better partners and fathers. And how all of this gets shifted, understood, and deepened when men work together, in person.

The brain and a computer are light years apart from being the same. It is true that both store data, process information, and perform tasks. However, although technology tries to simulate the human intelligence processes, the human brain has proven to be better adapted than any computer could.
To dive into this topic, today we will be joined by the Story Science Professor, Angus Fletcher. Angus is a man curious about the human brain and how it works. His research led him to discover how history can help us to be tougher, capable, and to have courage.
During this episode, we talked about chaos, growth, attitude change, and initiative-taking. In addition, we will also be talking about the brain as a machine and why it is superior to computers, a topic worth listening to.

There’s a single line in Robert Bly’s Iron John that grabbed me.
“The activity men were once loved for is no longer required.”
In this solo episode I look at both sides of the argument for this notion, ending on how Covid and the recent shifts in the world have made men even more needed and our activities even more worthy of celebration.

When we stop living under other people's expectations, we become the only writers of our history and builders of our paths.
Today's guest is Arjuna Dharmadas. He is a man who left the country of his birth to live a nomadic lifestyle and follow his path, taking him to live in Thailand, India, Egypt, Guatemala, etc.
Arjuna is the founder of an Ashram in Guatemala, where I experienced the dark retreat a few years ago. They are now based in Europe, specifically in Italy, where he and his wife continue to teach people and transform their lives through spirituality.
In this episode, we will talk about how to avoid falling into a cult, ego, personal practices, and what it was like for Arjuna to leave Germany and start teaching around the world.
ABOUT ARJUNA DHARMADAS
Arjuna has been studying & practicing eastern spiritual traditions all over the Eastern & Western world for over twenty years starting his path and deep soul-quest at nineteen when he discovered Theravada Buddhism and Vipassana meditation along with Sivananda Yoga and left home for good. Convinced that there is much more to life that he’s been told, he's completed dozens of retreats in the Buddhist, Yogic, Tantrik and Advaita (Non-Duality) traditions, some of them in silence, solitude and complete darkness. Arjuna recognizes that we all make our path as we walk, no size fits all. We are all fiercely unique writers of our own story once we let go of the desire to fulfill anyone else’s expectations but the ones that make our Soul alive and are ready to go on our own Hero’s journey. He aspires to bring the courage for grounded Awareness into every breath.

There’s a wildness in men that we as a society don’t acknowledge — to the detriment of us all. When a man has space for his wild expressions and a connection to both the wild inside of him and the wilderness and natural elements around him, his whole life changes.
The flavor of intimacy he brings to his partnerships, his work, and his creative endeavors all becomes richer and more healing.
In this solo episode, I dive into the wild. Join me.

Do you live in the past, present, or future?
Joining again for another episode of the UNcivilized Podcast, today's guest is GS Youngblood. He is here to present his new book, The Art of Embodiment for Men, where he talks about how an embodiment practice can change our lives and help us build our masculine core to become more powerful and relational men. We will hear how these practices can lead us to have more loving, respectful relationships, with less fighting and more sex. In addition, we will learn about the differences between the practice of embodiment and meditation.
ABOUT GS YOUNGBLOOD
GS coaches men in relationships on how to live, love, and lead from their Masculine core. He specializes in "nice guys" who are with strong women. His teachings combine deep embodiment work with the framework of the Masculine blueprint from his book "The Masculine in Relationship."
His writings are filtered through the laboratory of his and his clients' real-world, long term relationships (including the successes and spectacular failures) to see what actually works and what doesn't. Through this lens of Masculine leadership, he also pulls in principles from a variety of fields: psychology, martial arts, tango, meditation, and BDSM.
In his past life, GS was a high tech executive in Sales and Marketing for 16 years, including founding and selling a company. The leadership practices of Silicon Valley, based on clarity and inspiration rather than control, are a major influence on the model of Masculine leadership he shares with his clients.

Should social media have warning ads like cigarette packs?
We all know the bright side of social networks where we share memes, tell stories, upload photos, memories, and help us grow professionally, but not everything is sunshine and rainbows. Social media have become an unstoppable monster where criticism, abuse, and the discharge of hate have increased more and more, hiding in anonymity on many occasions.
In this episode, I had a conversation with Seerut Chawla. She defends the importance of talking with responsibilities on social networks and using it to deliver messages of conscience intelligently. After living the culture of cancellation on both sides, today, she tries to warn others of its consequences. We will talk about how the use of social media affects us individually and collectively, the main character syndrome, responsibility, and trauma. In addition, we will discuss the differences between trauma, wounding, and pain.
You who are reading me from the internet, don't miss this episode!
ABOUT SEERUT CHAWLA
She works using an integrative model (which means incorporating different therapeutic styles) depending on the client and the circumstances.
Her main modality is psychodynamic psychotherapy which is derivative of the psychoanalytic tradition.That can sound a little intimidating, but the basic premise of this work is helping people to understand what has happened so that they can better understand what is happening in the here and now, and then make meaningful change in their lives.

How can a person with no criminal record become a mass murderer, killing seventy-seven people and injuring hundreds more?
This story captured the attention of today's guest Unni Turrettini. The lawyer decided to investigate a little further the murder committed by Anders Behring Breivik and found the factor that led this now 43-year-old man to commit this terrorist attack; loneliness.
In today's episode, we meet up with Unni to discuss the mind of Breivik and what it means to be a lone wolf in today's society.
Was this mass murder preventable? Unni has the answer for us.
ABOUT UNNI TURRETINI
Unni Turrettini was born in northern Norway and grew up in Drammen, a city near Oslo, approximately twenty minutes from where Breivik was raised. As a foreign exchange student, she graduated from high school in Kansas City, Kansas, and she has law degrees from Norway, France, and the United States. She currently lives with her family in Geneva, Switzerland, and is at work on a second book, a behind-the-scenes examination of the Nobel Peace Prize.

In this solo episode I break down the ever present question of, “What the hell is men’s work?”
Let’s dive into it, make it simple, and dispel some of the popular misconceptions around the work so many men are now engaging in. Men’s work is the greatest and most necessary path a man can walk in.

In this solo episode I want to rewrite the current, inaccurate narrative that no one cares about men.
This narrative keeps men stuck, hurting, and leads them to act out in ways that hurt themselves and those who love them.
Let’s shift this. Together.

I know how interesting it is to hear the typical story of the man who had everything and lost it all due to his vices. However, this story has an unexpected twist.
Today's guest is Zark Fatah. A man who, despite having lived a luxurious life, surrounded by vices and excesses, within the world of entertainment and nightlife, his mentality of success made him stay on the sidelines.
At the age of 40, he decided to leave everything and move to Costa Rica, where he started a different path to become a transformational expert and coach.
Imagine waking up one day and deciding to abandon a life that just a few can enjoy. Would you do it?

When a man has this, his whole life changes. When he doesn’t, he’s left to the whim of the winds.
Creating a daily ritual to deepen his relationship to his strength helps everyone around him, mostly himself.

One of the challenging parts of navigating big change is accepting when the change may already have taken place internally for you — but your external circumstances are still the same.
In this solo episode I share a story of leaving my old business and how it felt long before I “left the building.” Recognizing this pattern is a massive step towards traversing it with grace and ease. Change is hard no matter what, understanding the process can make it less so.

"The driver who hit me got two years in prison. But I got a life sentence." Those were the words of today's guest, Andrew Bernstein, in an essay for Outside magazine in 2021.
After suffering a car accident, breaking 35 bones, dropping into a coma, and becoming paraplegic, Andrew sees his experience as a new beginning.
Learning to live in a new body is not easy. It means facing new challenges, people's looks, a different level of interaction with others, among many things he did not have to deal with before.
Today, this incredible man will tell us his story and what people with disabilities go through daily. He'll even share what it's like to go back into the dating world and become vulnerable about his story from the very first conversation.
Remember, disabled people are just like everyone else.

In this solo episode I’m inspired by a terrible relationship meme to go over the priorities an UNcivilized man should have BEFORE getting into and WHILE in a conscious relationship.
This is bound to upset many codependent people…so be it.
Gentleman, putting your relationship before your other needs is a recipe for disaster.
Ladies, having a man who puts your relationship ahead of his life mission is the same.

Seven years ago tonight, I made one of the best decisions of my life — to quit drinking alcohol.
Here’s the most surprising thing to most people about this:
I’m not an alcoholic, nor was I one at the time.
In fact, I wasn’t even considered a heavy drinker and can’t tell you the last time I had gotten drunk.
But I drank what was common for a man my age in the civilized paradigm, a few beers throughout the week and more on weekends.
Nothing crazy, but it added up.
Quitting drinking is and can be one of the most powerful choices you can make on your path to authenticity, full expression, and making presence your super power.
In this solo episode that I know you’ll enjoy, I dive in further.
Yours UNcivilized,

This episode is going to upset people, be warned.
In this solo piece I break down how Nice Guys so often turn their romantic partners into one of two archetypes:
A) The Prostitute archetype
B) The Mother archetype
Neither of these is healthy, aligned, or sustainable. Both lead to resentment AND a completely dead sex life.
Dive in, hang on, and prepare to be triggered whether you’re a man or a woman as we break down this extremely common yet often overlooked relationship phenomenon.

Purpose, purpose, purpose.
We hear how important it is to know why we’re here on Earth and what we’re “supposed” to be doing! For men this is doubly important.

In this UNcivilized UNplugged episode with Dr. Jeremy Goldberg and Leila Dylla we dive into our best practices for both helping our clients discovering their purposes and how we unlocked our own.

Did you know how easy it is to become a spy nowadays? Our guest will tell us how to do it.

The Imposter haunts us all. Myself included. Or at least he used to.
I remember a few years back doing the first class of a six class online workshop and anxiously walking around my house afterward waiting for the emails to come in from all of the men who were on the call wanting their money back!
The emails never came…but I also reached out to my good friend Jeremy who said, “Show me the evidence from your old classes where everyone quits on you after the first call. If there’s no evidence there, assume there won’t be any here.”
He was right and my bout with The Imposter was done for the day. It led me to look deeply at my own fears and insecurities and know you have the same opportunity when yours arises.
In this episode we dive into your Imposter Syndrome, and how you can learn to manage and learn from them.

Would you forgive a criminal?
Today's guest is a man who undertook the task of visiting prisoners and getting to know them and their histories. Years have passed since William Fraser started his foundation to help people, especially those who remain in jail for misdemeanors. William believes that with support, coaching, and making a change in the employment crisis that his country is going through, it is possible to prevent these people from falling back into the same paths.
In this episode, we bring this fascinating topic to the table. Do you think we can prevent criminals from going back to prison?
ABOUT WILLIAM FRASER
Will is an ex-professional rugby player for Saracens RFC. Will joined the Saracens Academy in 2005 aged just 14 and was a member of the famed 'Class of 08,' alongside the likes of Owen Farrell & Jamie George.
After a ten-year playing career, unfortunately, he was forced to retire from playing in 2017 as a result of a neck injury.
In 2020, Will took his first entrepreneurial step in launching 100 & First. This foundation was born from the realization of the power of incredible real-life experiences and how (if told in the right way) the learnings from them apply to any person or environment. The only difference is the context in which they are applied.

When the divine masculine rises, every broken system in the world will change with it. And not before.
As men find their hearts and feel into all the pain and heartache they have buried, the world has no choice but to shift radically.
And yet this work is not easy. Far from it.
A question I get weekly from readers and listeners of the female persuasion is:
“How do I support my man, my brother, my son, and every man in my circle who is beginning to walk the path of uncivilizing himself.”
This episode is your answer.
Dive in and please share it with women you know.
Cheers,
Traver

When things don't go as planned comes sadness, disappointment, and millions of questions. The guilt of "what did I do wrong?" is manifested. But, everything is going to be okay; there are secret opportunities hidden inside every failure.
Today's guest is the master of transitions. After living on three different continents and experiencing distinct cultures, Michael Bauman has learned the key to transitions. A moment that changed his life, receiving the news of his first child, led him to decide to move to China with his wife. Without knowing the language or the culture, his decision has led him to grow professionally.
In this episode, we will learn how productivity, decision-making, health, and even our DNA affect every area of our life.
ABOUT MICHAEL BAUMAN
Michael was born and raised in the balmy tropical island of Papua New Guinea, and subsequently have travelled all over the world witnessing and participating in numerous cultures, perspectives, and their fundamental values and belief systems. Currently, he lives with his family in the beautiful city of Hangzhou, China.
This diverse early exposure to a wide variety of people and environments sparked in him a fascination with the variance of how we define success overlayed above the commonality of the shared human experience in all its intricacy, pain, beauty, and wonder.
Michael's currently the CEO of Success Engineering where he coaches entrepreneurs to help them deeply know that they are enough and that they are not alone.
He also host the podcast, Success Engineering, where he interview experts and industry leaders, from Broadway Directors and actors, to multi-millionaire CEO’s, to neuroscientists and more to uncover how they define success and how they create it on a daily basis.

One of the stories so many of us carry is that we need to burn our lives to the ground and rebuild from there in order to make any significant change. This is not so.
In this episode I share one of the most impactful lessons I learned from a client about making small shifts that create massive momentum.
That and why I still have a framed Post-It Note in my office from that very woman.

Have you ever heard the famous phrase "there are many fish in the sea"? That's basically the dating world. We meet many types of people with different personalities, tastes, goals, and desires.

But after a divorce, we are no longer the same; our priorities, tastes, and life change entirely. Today's guest is a relationship expert, and she is here to teach us how to enter the dating world successfully.

Healing has different paths to travel and reach it. Today’s guest, George Kalantzis, decided to record his experiences, pain, grief, and thoughts in a journal that led him to find new talent.
A journal that became a book, reaching hundreds of people who thank him for changing their lives. This book tells a story of overcoming, where its author shares his battle with depression, addictions, and his divorce.
There is something about writing that allows us to vent, express ourselves clearly, create a fantasy story that takes us away from our problems. As a writer and author, I can say that it is a healing experience that everyone should try.
ABOUT GEORGE KALANTZIS.
George Kalantzis is a Marine Corps combat veteran with over ten years of experience overseeing collaborative teams and managing complex projects in high-pressure, rapidly changing environments.

If we think about the problem that men currently face in society, what would it be?
According to Johnny King's opinion, he thinks of the unhealed wounds caused by parents, especially the father figure in our lives. After a year of coaching, he concluded that we must all begin to heal our wounds to enjoy a new life where peace, happiness, and balance rule our life and become the king of our kingdom.
Johnny's story is interesting since after hating his father for many years, a confession changed everything and gave a 180-degree turn in their relationship, making him his best friend. A story that will make us understand that forgiveness is the best way to heal.
About Johnny King
Before Johnny King became a transformational coach for men to help them reach their highest potential, he first had to discover his own. Amidst the recession of 2010, Johnny was broke: $35,000 in debt, jobless, and picking up the pieces of a failed marriage. He thought he was done but, little did he know it was just the start of his journey.
Over the next few years, Johnny built multiple successful businesses. Now he leads a men's group and produces a podcast. King systemized his habits and routines to create a life he could fall in love with. He's now teaching others those tools so you can too own your day, realize your dreams, and truly become the King or Queen of your kingdom.

We all know the big Traumas are things we have to address with professional help. Yet how many of us are walking around with a backpack of little traumas that we’ve deemed too insignificant to address.
In this solo episode I dive into the power of letting go of the accumulated grief so many men and women are still being hurt by.
Enjoy,
Traver
We all know the healing methods such as going to therapy, breathwork, psychologists, but have you ever thought that the use of the MDMA may be all you need?

We have heard millions of times the story of the man who has everything and loses it all. It may sound cliche but it is so well-known because it is a reality.
Unlike other people, today's guest, Robert Althuis, always knew that inside him was more than having money. Robert had more to offer. He just needed to light that spark. Unfortunately, the spark was lit the day he hit rock bottom.
After going through such arduous moments —In Robert's case, going bankrupt and divorcing in 2017—many people would fall into addiction, but he did it differently. His biggest motivation to get ahead? Their children.
An episode that reflects how life can change from one moment to another. Do not miss it.

One day, you can be on your way to happiness and peace and find success and define it your way.

It's okay to have feelings.
It's okay to cry.
The only thing that is not okay is to hide what you feel just because "men don't cry."
We live in a society that taught men to be this stereotype of strong and dominant macho men. But, what does it mean to be a man? There is no single concept; there are millions, so do not cling to one.
When starting his way through the man's work, today's guest Dene Maria Sebastiana discovered that he had a wound that he had never healed; a father wound. A life-changing initiation (according to Dene's words) led him to help men open their hearts, heal and live fully.
Today you will hear this pleasant conversation where we will develop topics such as man work and everything related to it. We will touch on an important point, such as pain and why we should allow ourselves to feel it.
ABOUT DENE MARIA SEBASTIANA
(Dennis Mead-Shikaly) was born and raised in New York, and now lives in Tucson, AZ. He is a soul coach, teacher, facilitator, shaman, and leader emeritus.
Dene works with people who truly desire an in-depth look at their lives, and who are willing to break through their old, unconsciously embedded patterns. The intention is to integrate, evolve, and live fully in these radically changing times. Dene brings deep caring and compassion along with a multi-level capacity to get to the heart of the matter. He believes that the alignment of head-heart-gut-sex/creativity will always lead to right action: clear, compassionate, effective.

When we fall, we have two options, to keep on the ground or stand up and turn it into a new opportunity.
After being one of the main heads of a multimillion-dollar company, today's guest, Rick Ellis, in his mid 50's lost everything.
A martial arts artist determined to confront his truth. Rick began his path of recreating himself, mastering jiu-jitsu, and opening his YouTube channel, The Art of Skill.
Today Rick will share with us his wisdom. We will dive into transitions, why he needed to target his content to his male audience, and how he teaches people to be their higher selves. He is undoubtedly a man to admire, who leaves us the following message: "Be that guy that at 57, 56 years old, literally loses everything and stand up thinking, what the fuck am I gonna do when I grow up?"
Enjoy the episode.
ABOUT RICK ELLIS
Rick Ellis has had an eclectic career as a musician, audio engineer, visual designer, programmer, and software entrepreneur. Somewhere along the way he discovered Jiu Jitsu and became obsessed with it. Rick would go on to earn his blackbelt under Roy Dean. He currently runs The Art of Skill YouTube channel, where topics related to maximum human performance, aging athletes, men’s issues, and BJJ are discussed. He also teaches BJJ nightly at Third Way Jiu Jitsu in Wyoming.

Being a mother is a different experience from the father one.
Women have a laborious job of creating life within themselves, and this can be a traumatic experience from pregnancy to giving birth. So the father, partner, or husband has to play the supporting role.
In this episode, our guest Kimberly Ann Johnson explains how these traumas can affect life as a couple, from sexuality to intimacy. In addition, she will talk to us about how we can heal the trauma related to our genitals and the lack of empathy regarding rest or recovery from birth for the sake of progress.
Did you know the benefits of witnessing touch? Press play and find out.

How can some people be so blinded by a cult?
This episode is full of controversy and mystery. Due to all the death threats this man has received, we had to leave his name anonymous. So, we will utterly name this as the "McDojo" episode.
A man passionate about martial arts and helping others did the heroic action of showing the darkest events lived in the martial arts schools, earning the hatred of people who see the world of martial arts as everything right and good in this life. An organization that, according to our guest, does not have a government body. That's why sexual violence, and pedophilia are some of the perversions frequently performed.
ABOUT MCDOJO
Rob has been training in martial arts for over 24 years and has dedicated the last 9 years of exposing Mcdojos. He Jason the international martial arts team Full Circle for years and ran his own martial arts school for 4 years. He has b been consulting for martial arts businesses for 10 years and he founded McDojoLife 9 years ago.
He has earned

Entering the world of pornography as an actor can sometimes be out of necessity or fun, but getting out of the stigmas and labels people create about you is not easy. Today's guest is a former porn actor that after more than 20 years in the industry, he decided to abandon it and teach men how to have a better sex life. You know what they say, "Practice makes the master."
Discover in this episode the myths and truths about the porn industry.
ABOUT ERIK EVERHARD
My name is Erik Everhard, I’m an Author and Men’s coach. My specialty is helping men by teaching them elite level sexual skills so they can have confidence with women. My journey to sexual mastery has been a unique one, you see for the last 22 years I’ve been one of the top Adult film stars in the world, and that’s been no accident. No, there were no crazy parties, there was no hedonism, from my very first scene I treated my career exactly like a professional athlete.
I spent my time learning and studying women in REAL LIFE and throughout every sexual encounter I had. I figured out the bio-hacks to my own body, out of necessity, as my job and livelihood depended on it. I discovered mental hacks to quell performance anxiety, last longer in the bedroom, secret techniques that could get women off time after time, special diet and supplementation, and more. After over 5000 women….i felt I had cracked the code.
The process of peeling back the layers of my identity, my fears, my hopes, and my dreams was a painful but necessary one. Then, wanting to go deeper into what my ultimate purpose was, I started working with the shamanic plant medicine Ayahuasca. And this has led me down the path where you are meeting me now, a path of service where I can help you to overcome your shortcomings in the bedroom.

Today's episode comes with an adult content warning
The movie 50 Shades of Gray came out in 2015, revealing a not very recent subject. Since it dates from the time leather, whips, and free sexual expression dominated the gay subculture. Today, this topic has given rise to much debate in our society, and everyone wants to know "What is BDSM?", To answer all your questions, we will bring a knowledgeable teacher of the gray space between the tantra and BDSM. Both topics are super interesting on their own, but mixing these practices will turn your sexual intimacy into an almost spiritual experience; that's how good it is.
Leave the taboos aside, and don't miss this episode with Andy Buru to learn more about these fascinating topics.

The human being is the only animal that decides to sacrifice its hours of sleep. Different factors can influence its lack. We all know that stress, work, and responsibilities usually play a considerable role, but we must comprehend that this has consequences in the short and long term.
Today Dr. Kirk Parsley will give us a masterclass. He will explain the importance, consequences, and benefits that sleep brings to our lives. Incredibly, some humans cannot do natural things such as rest. That's one of the reasons we dived into this subject deeper, not only to find answers but also to figure out how to improve our life by applying just a few extra hours of rest into our routines.
Take notes! The fountain of youth is a dream away from you.
ABOUT KIRK PARSLEY
Dr. Kirk Parsley served as an Undersea Medical Officer at Naval
Special Warfare Group One from June 2009 to January 2013.
While there, he led the development and supervised the group’s first Sports Medicine Rehabilitation center. He is a former SEAL, and received his Medical Degree from Bethesda, Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS) in 2004. He interned in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Balboa Naval Hospital San Diego in 2005 and subsequently completed a Navy residency in Hyperbarics and Diving Medicine in 2006.
His philosophy for wellness is simple; in order to optimize our health and get the most out of our bodies and minds, we must live more closely to the way. We evolved as a species. He believes that many diseases and disorders that we accept as “inevitable” in modern society are unnecessary complications of poor sleeping habits, living in a toxic environment, eating foods we were not designed to digest, and allowing stress to overwhelm us. His passion is to help his patients and clients achieve the highest quality of life possible, and realize their health, performance, and longevity goals.

Man UNcivilized THE BOOK
The United States has been struggling with racial problems since the colonial era where dislike or rejection of racial minorities was common.
Over the years, these minorities have raised their voices to ask for equality, respect, opportunities, and rights, generating enormous changes at the cultural and social levels. But, the fight is not over yet.
Racism is still latent in our country and is ingrained in the hearts and minds of people who have refused to accept differences in color, culture, and language, causing hatred and delay within a country that constantly seeks progress.
Today's guest Bo-Dean Sanders seeks to seal the gap between races by preaching diversity and inclusion across the country. In his book " Race Against ... Against Race," Bo-Dean opens the conversation between the race differences existing in the United States through his experience in the sports world — A world in which equality is considered the norm.
This episode will show us how the world of sports is more than just entertainment. It is a world where it doesn't matter how you look as we fight for the same goal.
Don't forget to share this episode, and let's start spreading the diversity and inclusion word.
ABOUT BO-DEAN SANDERS
Bo-Dean was born in Jacksonville, Florida where he and his siblings were raised by their single mother. He learned his values by attending his grandmother’s Baptist church. His love of sports began while watching college football on Saturdays and NFL games on Sundays. Bo-Dean represented Jean Ribault High, his all-Black high school, as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) athlete of the year in the 1981–1982 football season.
He’s currently a member of the Delco Press Club. Over the years, Bo-Dean has been part of notable articles in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Delco Times, Town Talk, Delaware Business Magazine, Out & About Magazine, County Press, and Main Line Today.

"The real pandemic is cancer." -Melannie Bachman.
Melannie is a lively, wild, and vibrant woman with a love for the sea as great as its depth. Unfortunately, her life took a drastic twist when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Cancer is a condition that has claimed millions of lives and tackles a new victim every day. People full of dreams and goals have to put their lives on hold due to this condition and the multiple treatments needed to remove it from the body, which is slowly weakening.

We will listen to her experience, how her life suddenly changed and how this news affected her relationship with her partner.

Music is one of the arts that can be healing for many people. From moments of sadness, joy, rage, music is there to accompany us, and like many of us, today's guest, Phutureprimitive, found passion and refuge in music.
Imagine having a car accident and using the insurance money on a musical instrument that would change your life, leading you to fame, concerts, and a life where music is everything; this is the story of Phutureprimitive.
Learn how self-commitment led Phutureprimitive to be the successful person he is today and start applying it in your life.
Say no to excuses.
ABOUT PHUTURE PRIMITIVE
Phutureprimitive is the moniker of Bay Area producer and songwriter Rain.
Early childhood photos reveal Rain sitting at the piano plinking keys, grinning from ear to ear... a true sign of things to come. Continuing his early fascination with music, Rain was later drawn to electronic music, inspired by its ability to combine the best of organically played instruments and the synthetic pleasures of sounds more exotic to the human ear.
After beginning a DJ career in the 90s, Rain began incorporating the music he was making in his home studio into his DJ sets. That was all it took to trigger a full-blown love affair with electronic music and the process of its creation... and Phutureprimitive was born.
Phutureprimitive's music is singular and unique in its approach. Lush melodies drift across intricate rhythms, groove-heavy beats, and warm, fuzzy bass lines. Often exploring a dark and dense palette, his music also manages to convey a sense of tranquility and beauty, engaging the listener into hypnotic movement and often escalating into a full-on kinetic experience. Shimmering with cinematic qualities, his music ultimately speaks to the body, mind, and soul.

When I was in the shit storm of my life a few years back, stumbling upon and studying up on The Five Stages of Grief was monumentally helpful. It gave me a framework for my otherwise frameless experience and helped me take a few deep breaths.

Men and women. So equal but at the same time so different.

This week I’m diving into UNcivilized Ethos Tenet #2 — Be Your Brother’s Keeper.
Now more than ever we need to normalize men supporting other men.
Remember how awesome it was to be on a team? That shit needs to come back and it needs to come back now. No matter your race, creed, socioeconomic status, or hairline — if you’re a man, you need other men in your life.
Give this a listen and take it to heart.

You're doing it wrong. No more Mr. Nice Guy, we need to talk.
Have you ever thought, "I don't do anything wrong, I'm a nice guy"—but your life is falling apart—? Then, this episode is for you.
As men, we grow up believing that if we avoid doing certain things, we will please others, so we will not have problems in our relationships, and our life will be perfect just because we are "nice guys." But, let me tell you: If your relationship, your family, your plans, and your work are falling apart; your "nice guy" mindset isn't working, you need to change it!
Today's guest is the author of one of the books that have changed my life. Today we will have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Robert Glover.
This episode is a lesson about men's behavior and mindset. We talked about porn issues, sexuality traumas, addictions, fetishes, and why we should remove "I'm a nice guy" from our vocabulary.
Are you ready to change? Press play.

In this episode I’m taking a different approach to talking about mass shootings as it seems the most common arguments just lead to circular conversations with lots of passion that go nowhere.
Here I’m talking about — MEN — grief, sadness, anger, rage, and entitlement. What I view as the cocktail of roots underneath mass shootings.
Yes, I know that guns play a role in them as well (please read into the deep sarcasm) but talking about guns doesn’t seem to curb them being used on the public.
Perhaps we need to look at this from a different angle.
Enjoy.

Masculinity and how we perceive it has evolved over the years. Just like in masculinity there has been a radical change in the men's movements too. To explain more about this subject, we will have Philip Folson as today's guest, a man who has spent over thirteen years teaching the power of leadership and has seen the growth of men's work.
We will talk about masculinity, its initiation and the difference between feminine and masculine initiation at the cultural level, and the importance of killing the little boy within us (metaphorically) so that the true manly man resurfaces. We will talk about what honor is and when we can lose it as men, in addition to talking about astrology and exploring traumas and injuries during our lives.
This is an incredible episode! Don't forget to share it with another man so that men's work continues to grow.

At some point most men have heard, felt, or internalized the notion — it’s not okay to be a man.
This is one of the most destructive and tragic falsities a man can believe. It’s responsible for more toxic behavior, self harm, and outward harm than any other belief men take in.
When we change this, we stop the massively destructive behavior its shadow creates. Until we change this — we won’t.
Men — if you’ve felt this, I’m sorry.
If you’ve heard this, I’m sorry.
If you believe this, I’m sorry — AND — it’s time to let this idea go and replace with one that works with you and for you. That works for your loved ones and works for the planet
It’s pretty goddamn good to be a man. Own it.
Cheers,
Traver
The drug addiction fight is tough but not impossible to win. These addictions can cause mental health problems that eventually affect the individual, leaving them almost at a point of no return.

We will talk about the first signs of depression and addiction, the effect that drug addiction has on families, and how Alison decided to write a book to share her and her brother's message.
Addiction and mental health illness are big issues in our society.
Let's become aware of these problems, whether you are suffering from them or someone you know. Help yourself and help others.

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 this solo conversation I dive into three of the areas of growth and exploration I benefited from as a member of the BDSM community.
Each of them could be an episode on their own but these will give you insight into how to change your relationship, your sex life, and your view of the world.
Enjoy!

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.

Imagine being exploring nature and suddenly being hit by a hurricane in the Caribbean, but most importantly, having survived and been able to tell your experience not only through words but also through a film. This is the short story of today's guest, Michael Lees.
In this episode, you will hear the amazing story of Michael who, after surviving Hurricane Maria in Dominica, released his film, which he called Uncivilized, and of course, when I found out about this, I loved the idea of doing an episode with him and listening to his story.
We will discover what led Michael to live primitively in nature, how he felt during and after the hurricane. He will share with us the testimonies of the people he was able to interview. We will talk about the differences of living in a developed and a non-developed country, and As you know, we will talk about that and much more.
ABOUT MICHAEL
Michael Lees is a Dominican filmmaker and photographer whose work explores themes of survival, environmentalism, spirituality, and island life, aiming to connect the dots in the “bigger picture.”
Michael attended UNC-Chapel Hill, where he spent the first half of his college career studying business at the Kenan-Flagler Business School, later switching his major from business to film.
Never one to shy away from bold decisions, in 2017, Michael embarked on his latest project, UNCIVILIZED, which would lead him into the forests of Dominica, where he would eventually face Category 5 Hurricane Maria alone in the forest, in a palm leaf and bamboo hut.
Lees has written, shot, and edited for clients ranging from Billboard to UNICEF. Much of his inspiration is drawn from his home island, Dominica, and an insatiable curiosity about the world around him.

Today's guest is Alan Crawford. After suffering a divorce, reaching the point of living with his parents, and suffering from depression, drug, and financial problems, today he is the leader of the men's group Uncivilized Nation Liverpool.
In this episode, we will hear Alan's story, his journey, and learn what it takes to become a true leader.

He has worked extensively in the field of addiction and recovery for over a decade. Now he enjoys supporting a diverse range of clients to connect more deeply with their own experience.

In our outer world, we can have everything; money, fame, strength, beauty, and still be empty inside, without feeling anything, without having anything that makes us feel complete or even happy. Suffering from internal wounds that we have not taken the time to heal and that we have created a shell so strong that we have not allowed ourselves to cry.
This is a beautiful episode of self-improvement, an episode that tells a fascinating transition story about the life of Andy Petranek.
Andy, an ex-marine, entrepreneur, and coach, is also my mentor, whom I appreciate so much and wanted to invite him today so that he can tell us his story. A man with a fascinating outer life who struggled with internal problems that led him to suffer from depression and panic attacks, thus leading to the business of his life to decline.

When we talk about addictions, alcohol may be the most common due to the legality and acceptance of it in our society, but it is still a terrible addiction that can end up destroying lives. Today's guest is Laura McKowen, an ex alcohol addict, who after going through the bitter moment of losing her daughter due to alcohol excess on a wedding night, hit rock bottom and began a journey to sobriety, a journey full of ups and downs that has led her to be an amazing writer, teacher, and author.

We have all gone through that moment where we look at ourselves in the mirror and face those ugly thoughts that we have about ourselves. Imagine one day waking up and going to that mirror and not knowing your own body, having doubts about your gender, and even hating yourself for the simple fact of being in the wrong body. That is what many people in the transgender community experience. Ben Wallace, our guest, is a transgender man who was not the exception to go through that unpleasant moment. Ben will talk to us about his personal experience of how he went from being known as Rachel to being who he really has always been, Ben Wallace.
About Ben Wallace:
Gentle Ben is an advocate, songwriter, speaker, and catalyst for compassion.
He is a man of transgender experience, who shares his story in service to all people who are open to opening their hearts to the wisdom of the trans experience.
In 2017 he was the subject of a documentary film called Real Boy, which premiered on PBS. The film followed his journey through early transition, as well as the difficult process that his mother went through in releasing the expectations that she had for who her daughter would grow up to become.
Since then he has spoken on stages and in classrooms all over the world, on a mission to make the conversation about transgender people personal. Currently, he’s in school- studying psychology with the aspiration of becoming a psychotherapist. He’s an emerging men’s work facilitator whose invitation to other men is simple; allow yourselves to be transformed by a transgender man, just as you would any other brother.

Our body is our temple, and that is why we must take care of it, not only externally but also from the inside; that's when food makes its stellar entrance. Food is important because it is what provides us energy and what keeps our bodies working.

In this episode I break down the main ideas behind living your life and not the one society has prescribed for you.
There's a place where the physical, emotional, spiritual, and energy boundaries touch each other and that creates contact. This contact is important because it is the one that is going to create a connection between every being, and that is what our today's guest is going to be talking about. The first-class healer Duey Freeman and I had an incredible conversation about contact, the power, and control in a relationship, and the creation of trust in them through trauma. I recommend you to not miss this episode because it is going to blow your mind.

Therapy, a practice that most men reject for fear of being seen as weak. The "animal man culture" has taught men to never ask for help no matter how bad the circumstances are; those men are struggling whether it's with depression, anxiety, or another mental illness; and they are suffering in silence.
Mental illnesses do not discriminate, they can affect the weakest person to the strongest and you will never imagine that even the most smiling person may be suffering from depression. Just like in the case of today's guest Jennings Hester, a division one football player in Alabama, an amazing athlete with all the charisma in the world was suffering from depression and anxiety, who would have thought, huh? Jennings will share his story with us and his beginning in this new man movement that he has been creating where therapy was the starter to their transformation and his mentality shift was the beginning of a new life.
About Jennings:
As an athlete, Jennings has dedicated his life to sports. After a problematic hamstring injury, University of Alabama sophomore linebacker Jennings Hester planned the end his football career. Due to the injury, depression, and anxiety appeared in his life, and after a fishing day and "out-of-body" experience, Jennings discovered a way of meditation which would then become his next big project: Fishing the Good Fight, a company dedicated to raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding Men's Mental Health.
In addition to his work in men's health with Fishing the Good Fight, Jennings also manages all West Catapult Sports and XOS Digital sales to Division I Football and Baseball Programs as well as provides programs with the complete sports technology stack including wearable devices and coaching video tools.

"I'm done, I'll quit my job and move to the forest", that's exactly what Kalle Flodin did. After looking for a cabin to have as a summer home, Kalle fell in love with it, and his next step was to buy it without expecting that this place would become his home, where he lives now with his girlfriend and their puppy, leaving behind the days of cold and loneliness that he suffered at first.
In this conversation, Kalle and I talked a lot about his life in the woods, about how it's not just the typical wood's life, it's how Kalle adapted it to him with technology and also how he started to generate several incomes. You may ask: how does he live in the woods? Well, press play and find it out.
About Kalle Flodin:
My name is Kalle and in the year 2018, I left my full-time job and apartment in Stockholm to live a simple and more meaningful life in the northern parts of Sweden. On Youtube, I share videos and tell stories about simple living, minimalism, personal development, and much more. My wish is to inspire others to also take a leap of faith and escape the rat race to pursue your dreams.

Talking about religion isn't easy, it's a delicate topic since each human being has their own beliefs, but what happens when religion is usually taught in a mandatory way to the point of causing deep wounds to those who based their faith on it? Exactly, it becomes toxic spirituality. Today's guest Marc-Henri Sandoz will tell us his life's story and how it led him to write the book "Toxic Jesus: My journey from holy shit to spiritual healing".
We will talk about his journey as an evangelical pastor, the wounds left on him by his spirituality, the moment when he had to have his leg amputated, and how he went on fighting for his dreams to become the person that he is today.
I invite you to meet this incredible human being, by clicking on play.
About Marc-Henri:
Born in 1963, I studied Protestant theology at the University of Geneva to become a pastor. I worked in this profession as a life mission for fifteen years in an evangelical church. A deep questioning led me to resign: I realized the sectarianism and the blockages which were at the heart of my faith, and the sufferings which hid behind them.
I gradually faced my own shadows, I started therapeutic work. I went through a period of ten years of doubts, uncertainties, personal upheavals, professional reconversion, divorce. It was a difficult and dark period, but very rich and of great value to me.
Then I discovered meditation and yoga. I trained in Mindfulness meditation at the University of Geneva, then in Yoga Nidra, and meditation. I taught meditation and Yoga Nidra for several years in Geneva, while working full time as a counselor.
After the amputation of my left leg due to bone cancer, in May 2018, I was left with the need to find a new balance for my life. The first thing to do, literally, was to learn to walk and live with one leg. Second, I had to build meaning for what was happening to me. In this process, I discovered a deeper and renewed spirituality, fully taking into account what was happening to me, without embellishing it or falling into a kind of magical thinking. A spirituality that could really help me to face reality. It is still a work in progress.

How many times do we lie to ourselves with phrases like "I'm okay", "I'm beautiful", "I'm the best", but deep inside we know that's not how we feel or think about ourselves. We begin to delude our brain with this lies to hide our pain, our wounds, and all the things that are hurting us just to pretend that everything's okay and that we are getting closer to our freedom, but let me tell you something, in this case, the only thing that will set you free, is the truth.

Can you imagine living a week-long without food, water, shelter, or company? That sounds crazy, right? Today's guest, Jeddy Azuma, will explain to us about the ritual that leads men to initiate a new life where the inner joy will be found.
Jeddy decided to start living his life dream: Creating an intentional community with two of his best friends. He will share the experience with us: The start-up, how he deals with the different personalities living in a close community. Also, we dived into his life as a guide and mentor for many men that took the risk of spending a week living in discomfort.
About Jeddy:
Jeddy Azuma is the host of “The Rising Man Podcast” (Top #150 in Educational Podcasts) and Creator of The Rising Man Movement. He has been in the field of Men’s Leadership and Empowerment for the past 10 years.
As a Rites of Passage Guide, Mentor, and Leadership Coach, Jeddy has impacted the lives of hundreds of men on his mission to initiate an entire generation of men into power and purpose-driven service to the world. He is a Founding Father of Conscious Man Brotherhood and a lead coach in Man Cave, Unleash the Beast, and King’s Court.
Despite his many roles and contributions to “Men’s Work", Jeddy considers his most important jobs to be Father and Husband.
“I always knew I wanted to make a major impact on the world, I just had NO idea how to do that in my 20’s. After numbing myself with substances and fear-based behaviors for years, I finally found a path in men’s work and rites of passage that fed my soul. And, I knew it was only a matter of time before I would give this medicine back to the men around me. NOW, I’m clear that the gift I have for my people is to prepare the next generation of men to lead their families, communities, and themselves powerfully and confidently into uncertain times.

PTS or PTSD. You may have heard of it, but, did you know that many of our first responders and veterans suffer from it? During the service, many of the veterans (or almost all of them) had to see things that may be shocking for many of us. Today's guest, Tom Voss, has seen the most horrible tragedies and because of that, he developed PTS which led him to stumble upon the addictions field but he found the light in meditation.
In this episode, we dove into subjects such as Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and how this can affect really hard the people that suffer it, how veterans and first responders deal with PTSD, how meditation can take you out of addictions; the subjects that not everybody talks about.
About Tom Voss:
Tom Voss served on active duty in the United States Army for three years, from 2003 to 2006. He served as an infantry scout in the battalion scout-sniper platoon. In October of 2004, Tom was deployed to Mosul, Iraq to support Operation Iraqi Freedom. After returning home, Tom struggled with reintegration and was diagnosed with PTSD in 2008. After being pushed to the brink of suicide, Tom knew he had to do something to help himself heal. In 2013, he teamed up with fellow combat veteran Anthony Anderson to plan and execute a 2,700-mile trek from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Los Angeles, California.
This journey was captured on film by Emmy®-nominated documentary filmmaker, Michael Collins. The film, which has enjoyed theatrical releases in New York and Los Angeles and been screened at dozens of film festivals nationwide, is called Almost Sunrise. In November 2017 Almost Sunrise was broadcast nationally as part of the P.O.V. documentary series on PBS, resulting in an Emmy nomination.
Tom is the co-author of the memoir, Where War Ends: A Combat Veteran’s 2,700-Mile Journey to Heal ― Recovering from PTSD and Moral Injury through Meditation, Published by New World Library, October 2019

Sometimes life hits us hard but we have two options: Stand up and fight, or stay in the ground. Today's
guest is Sara Krish, she's a cancer survivor; a hard nut to crack. The day life hit her, she stood up as a
fighter and started to improve herself, not just as a person but also spirituality, which is now a big part of
her life.
We dived into a powerful conversation, where feelings were on the surface while we talked about her
story. The day she received the diagnosis and how that changed her life, how cancer feels inside the
body, the life decisions she had to take, how she started to love herself; these are some of the subjects
for today's episode. Get ready, cause this episode may give you a new life perspective.
About Sara Krish:
Sara built a strong understanding of human behavior and methods for healing in her college years
completing both her undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in the field of psychology. For years
following she put her knowledge and passion to work as a life coach supporting her clients in goal
achievement, periods of transition, leadership development, and the overall creation of a life well loved.
It wasn’t until Sara found herself navigating her own deep suffering inside cancer at the age of 30 that
she began wanting more understanding of the metaphysical realm, her relationship to and understanding
of God, and alternative healing modalities.
This new exploration fueled Sara’s fire and launched her onto a committed path of awakening the
limitless spiritual being within!
After years of dismantling the old, healing, and rebuilding with the support of God, Sara settled into a
beautiful new life that honors the whole of who she is.
This purity and direct collaboration with the divine, supports Sara’s current work as a Spiritual Guide
along with her commitment to The Collective Rise.

In this episode, I had a taboo breaker and juicy conversation with our guest Gillian Porthier. We dive into subjects that most people are not used to. Such as dominant-submissive relationships (The pros, cons, and roles), polarity, devotion, exaltation; all that is missing in modern relationships and that are taboo in it.
About Gillian:
Gillian Pothier, M.A. is a writer and a Creative and Archetypal Mentor based in Los Angeles and Marin. She serves select artists and authors as a creative muse, supporting both men and women to unleash their artistic and erotic genius.
Additionally, she works with women individually and in small group “Deep Feminine Masterminds” to cultivate and activate Feminine expression, Eros, and life-force.
At essence, Gillian's core specialties are Eros and power -- and their expression within both Feminine and Masculine psyches. Her lens is embedded in Jungian principles of the unconscious and the shadow, and it remains her deepest belief and lived experience
(as well as that of her clients) that these hidden aspects of Self are the source of our greatest mastery, genius and power.

"I am not enough", a phrase that often stops us from moving forward in life, relationships, work, and in many aspects of our lives. Today's guest knows first-hand the damage that this phrase causes. In this episode, I had the opportunity to talk with Lauren Walsh. Lauren is the leader of one of the largest women's movements around the world.

We’re constantly being bombarded with chaos... What happens when that chaos comes from a place of fear? In this episode, I was joined by the amazing Cat Bigney. Cat is the Head Instructor for Boulder Outdoor Survival School (BOSS). We talked about her experiences as an instructor, tattoo artist and tv host. She shares the importance of developing self-trust and what it was like overcoming the fear of death. Cat has an incredible story and I can’t wait for you to hear her thoughts on resilience, some of her scariest moments out in the wilderness and why she’s passionate about being a tattoo artist.
About Cat Bigney:
Cat Bigney is a survival consultant, prehistoric skills specialist and artist. With a skillset acquired from an atypical upbringing, rugged formative years, and intergenerational knowledge, her focus is the preservation of ancient skills and knowledge, especially in the context of human origin, innovation/cognition and relationships to land, culture and identity. She teaches survival related basics (fire/shelter/water/food procurement and so on) and is no stranger to tactical survival, but most of her perspective and practice won’t be found in your standard bush-craft or survival “Bible”.
In addition to enduring some of the harshest of nature’s conditions across the globe, Cat is an artist, writer, athlete (playing high-level rugby for over a decade) and public speaker. Cat has been summed up as a passionate and energetic wilderness thug with a heart of gold.

In this short episode I tackle the three biggest misconceptions about doing things that are difficult. From writing books and launching businesses, to getting divorced and fighting in a cage, I've done some hard things. And...notice the patterns people have and stories they tell themselves about why they can or cannot do the same.

If you’ve been around here for a while, I am sure you’ve heard me talk about the month I spent with Boulder Outdoor Survival School (BOSS). Today I brought on Matt Furches, Matt is one of the instructors for BOSS and a good friend of mine. We talked about how he got into his work at BOSS and how their training helps transform attendee’s lives for the better. We get into the idea of not having everything available to you at your fingertips, outcomes he’s seen from the BOSS training and some of his favorite memories and outcomes he’s seen come out of the survival courses.
About Matt Furches:
Matt Furches hails from Nottingham, Pennsylvania, where he was greatly inspired by the woods and the creeks, and by the Amish culture that coexisted side-by-side with 1980s American culture. After discovering the writings of Tom Brown Jr., George Washington Sears, and Henry David Thoreau, he became a self-taught naturalist and practitioner of bushcraft and indigenous survival skills.
In 2008 he spent an entire summer in the American West studying with some of the most skilled instructors in the field of primitive technology, survival, and natural history, his journey culminated in a 28-day field course with the world-renowned Boulder Outdoor Survival School (BOSS), which since the late 1960s have been at the forefront of survival training and adventure travel. Matt was invited to apprentice with the school and after 10 seasons is now a Master Instructor at BOSS.

There’s so much hate in our world, especially when the conversation turns to race and inequality for non-white people. In this episode, I was joined by an amazing guest, Kiné Corder to discuss this and how we can render better approaches to race. Kiné is a Black therapist who shares her own experiences of being a Black woman in American society. She shares a story about finding out her brother’s experience as a Black man, why many conversations about race are ineffective and how we need more empathy. Kiné shares great tips about becoming curious about other people and putting your focus on love instead of being “anti” anything.
About Kiné Corder:
Kiné Corder is a National Certified Counselor and Clinical Hypnotherapist. She's also the CEO of Presidential Lifestyle, a wellness company focused on wealth in all of its forms. As a former Morgan Stanley financial advisor, Kiné realized that high achieving men needed help with more than just stock picks and portfolios. They were stressed out by the idea of reaching the American Dream. In 2014, she made the shift to therapy and has become the world's #1 Clinical Hypnotherapist specializing in stress and anger management. Her work today encompasses helping men, and their teenage children, unlock their subconscious beliefs around love and money so they can feel at ease and at peace creating a life of meaning.

Society always needs healthy, masculine leadership. In this episode, I was joined by a recent guest on the podcast to chat about this. We talked about why authoritarian and dictator style leaderships are so popular and I shared one of the best leadership lessons I saw as a young adult. We talk about the shadow masculine leadership and how it uses division and segregation to come into power and divide. Connor and I discuss why men need to prioritize self-care, get in community with other men and how this moment in time during the pandemic should be a wake-up call to many.
About Connor Beaton:
After apprenticing with that pupil of Carl Jung, I developed an innovative approach to healing the Shadow – the part of our psyche that causes us to self-sabotage – by drawing from experiential and training-based methodologies like Jungian psychology, somatic therapy, along with transformative breathwork and meditative practices.
I’ve now been working for almost a decade as a NY-based coach, teacher, and speaker to help men (and women) from all over the world walk through their darkness and grow in the realms of mental clarity, relational communication, actualizing their potential and sexual intimacy.
I have a no-BS attitude coupled with a compassionate understanding of our own human limitations. I’ve coached hundreds of men (and women) through private coaching, group work, workshops, retreats and masterminds.

No matter who you are, you likely have faced some varying form of trauma in your life. The things you go through have an effect on your wellbeing, relationships and sex life.

What happens when we pass away? How do we overcome grief of lost loved ones? You’ll hear about that and more on this episode with guest Christina Rasmussen. Christina is an author, acclaimed grief educator and podcast host. She founded The Life Reentry Institute to help people rebuild their lives after grief. Christina and I discuss the concept of the waiting room and why so many people get stuck there. She talks about why you should never minimize the pain of others and how validation from those around you can help you heal. She talks about her book-writing process, why you need to find your tribe and how you can navigate grief during the current pandemic.
About Christina:
Christina Rasmussen is an acclaimed grief educator, author of Second Firsts and Where Did You Go?. She is also the host of The Dear Life Podcast.
She is the founder of The Life Reentry Institute and has helped countless people break out of what she coined the “waiting room” of grief to rebuild their lives through her Life Reentry Model. With this, she introduces a new model of grief based on the science of neuroplasticity. She describes grief as a catalyst for redefining identity, and outlines the process of “reentry”, or returning to life. Her mission is to change the way we grieve, the way we live, and how we define our potential in this life, and the hereafter. She has consulted on the 2019 movie short.
Her Institute’s mission is to bring forth a new way of speaking about and embracing loss within the medical, corporate and social environments.

Believe it or not, you have a sacred purpose. There’s a reason for you being on earth right now. In fact, we all have a sacred purpose for our lives. In this episode, I brought on Jeff Brown, an author and Enrealment Activist. Jeff and I discuss the idea of spiritual bypassing and how it differs from having a healthy spirituality. He shares his ideas about what a conscious capitalist society would look like and his thoughts on the future of patriarchal constructs. Jeff talks about his book, Grounded Spirituality. He also talks about how to move toward your sacred purpose and how men and women experience spiritual bypassing differently.
About Jeff Brown:
A former criminal lawyer and psychotherapist, Jeff Brown is the author of 6 popular books: Soulshaping, Ascending with Both Feet on the Ground, Love It Forward, An Uncommon Bond, Spiritual Graffiti and Grounded Spirituality. He is also the producer and primary journeyer in the award-winning spiritual documentary, Karmageddon, which also stars Ram Dass, Seane Corn, Deva Premal and Miten. After writing a series of inspirations for ABC’S ‘Good Morning America’ in 2010, and appearing on Fox News.com and dozens of radio shows, Brown wrote the viral blog ‘Apologies to the Divine Feminine (from a warrior in transition)’ that autumn, catapulting him to a greater degree of notoriety, particularly in social media. Jeff’s new terms and short writings became a phenomenon some years ago, and continue to be shared by seekers and growers worldwide. In April, 2018, Jeff was invited to Ottawa by Sophie Grégoire Trudeau–gender equality activist and the wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau–to film a conversation about emotional healing and inclusivity. She had been sharing Jeff’s words in speeches and social media posts for some time. Excerpts from that powerful dialogue are viewable on Sophie’s Facebook and Instagram pages. Jeff is also the founder of Soulshaping Institute and Enrealment Press.

Are you living your fully expressed self? In this episode, I was joined by Sophia Josephina, a life, sex and relating coach and teacher who helps us understand how to come back into your body. We talk about everything from living as a fully expressed and sexually liberated woman (her experience and how men often react to having a partner with a high sex drive). Sophie shares her own experience of transitioning to work around tantra, sex and relationships after years of working as a quantum physicist. She shares how to give yourself permission to experience pleasure, celebrate your own sexual energy and the outcomes of owning your own sexuality. We also chat about the demonization of men’s turn-ons and how men and women often express love in vastly different ways.
About Sophie Josephina:
Sophie Josephina is a conscious sex & relating coach. She combines the latest in neuroscience with the ancients teachings of tantra to create transformation on the deepest of the subconscious, all blended with the powers of sexuality. She is a data scientist turned sex coach and is now taking her analytical mind into the world of sexuality, relating and personal development. She works with masculine and feminine energies to empower people back into their essence so that they can live a fully nourished life, as well as helping people to live a sexually integrated one. She does private coaching for men, women and couples, as well as group coaching, workshops and retreats.

Are you facing battles with the Shadow? Have you found that you tend to self-sabotage the things and relationships in your life? If so, you'll want to hear this episode because I brought on a great friend of mine, Connor Beaton. Connor is a coach, teacher and speaker that helps men (and women) walk through their darkness. He talks about the Shadow and what that means to him. Connor talks about managing conflict in your relationships. He also shares why you should consider challenging social agreements that you don't align with.
About Connor Beaton:
After apprenticing with that pupil of Carl Jung, I developed an innovative approach to healing the Shadow – the part of our psyche that causes us to self-sabotage – by drawing from experiential and training-based methodologies like Jungian psychology, somatic therapy, along with transformative breathwork and meditative practices.
I’ve now been working for almost a decade as a NY-based coach, teacher, and speaker to help men (and women) from all over the world walk through their darkness and grow in the realms of mental clarity, relational communication, actualizing their potential and sexual intimacy.
I have a no-BS attitude coupled with a compassionate understanding of our own human limitations. I’ve coached hundreds of men (and women) through private coaching, group work, workshops, retreats and masterminds.

Is perfectionism getting in the way of your life? Are you facing the idea of a career shift? In this episode, I am joined by Julian Reeve, a speaker, coach and motivator for people going through career transitions. Right now, many people are facing career changes so I thought you’d really enjoy Julian’s take on how to navigate transition with ease. We chat about his experience of going from being a Music Director for HAMILTON to what he does now. Julian shares his experience with perfectionism and how to get back to your real, authentic self. He also dives into letting go of the pressures of society and the world.

Julian experienced a major life change in early 2019, having to quit his career as a performer due to injury. He now works as a speaker, coach, and motivator, helping people facing career change find clarity in their situations through coaching and workshops.

Have you ever considered how a pandemic such as the one we’re facing in today’s world could drastically shift the way the world looks at and appreciates masculinity? In this episode, I am joined by Jack Donovan, author of The Way of Men to discuss masculinity and how this pandemic could reshape men and the way that the world looks at men in culture. We discuss a possible resurgence of tribalism, why many men are disconnected from leading and why ritual is essential for masculinity.
About Jack Donovan:
Jack Donovan has been writing and speaking about masculinity, masculine philosophy and spirituality for over a decade. His foundational book, The Way of Men, has sold over 100,000 copies worldwide and has been translated into French, German, Portuguese, Spanish and Polish.

He hosts a new podcast titled Start the World.
He lives in the Pacific Northwest, where he has constructed an “experimental pagan ritual space” called “Waldgang,” somewhere in the hinterlands.

Just like with physical health, your meditation practices will only get stronger by pushing and challenging yourself.

Today I spoke with a friend that I met on Instagram, Asher Packman. We discuss everything from men’s work to mental health, illness, mediation and the human experience. Asher and I chat about how he ended up doing this type of work, the losses he went through and how that grief took a toll on him. We discuss turning inward and how to overcome loss. He shares why you should listen to the messages from the universe and how to use meditation as a tool for your daily life.
About Asher Packman: After nearly 20 years working with the world’s leading brands as a communications senior executive — both in-house and via his own agency, The Sauce — a series of significant life events led Asher to shift gears. Now a qualified mindset and leadership coach (Diploma of Leadership, Coaching and Mentoring), he is a certified HeartMath and Wim Hof Method instructor, as well as a KRI-certified Kundalini Yoga instructor. He has further qualifications in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), geobiology, epigenetics and the social psychology of sport.

Asher is also the current president of Meditation Australia, the national peak body representing meditation and meditation teachers, and an ambassador for various charities including Love Me Love You, MPNAA and The Resilient Leaders Foundation.
