At a time when we’re longing for a deeper sense of meaning and belonging, there’s a new story emerging that we’re all a part of. When we hear someone else’s journey, it can inspire our own. This is the Stu Murray Podcast, where we have honest conversations with people who are contributing to a more beautiful world. This is our story. I’m your host, Stu Murray.
Most men are sleepwalking through lives designed by others - trapped in mediocre circles, chasing external validation, and wondering why success feels hollow. This conversation with Matt Bourque cuts through the noise with brutal honesty about what it really takes to build an intentional life.We explore why surrounding yourself with the right people isn't optional, how to audit your current circle without burning bridges, and why your health is the foundation everything else is built on. From breaking free of social media metrics to creating from abundance rather than scarcity, this is about becoming the man who knows where he's going.This isn't about perfection - it's about direction. It's about prioritizing yourself so you can show up fully for others. It's about choosing discomfort over mediocrity and building the life you actually want, not the one you think you should want.Connect with Matt:Instagram: @drivendadmethod 🔥 READY TO STOP DRIFTING? → Take The 7-Day Reset for High-Performing Men: https://www.stumurray.com/7-day-reset Seven questions that separate the men who change from the men who stay stuck.

You're overthinking because you've been chasing the wrong kind of clarity. Most men wait until they have it all figured out before making their next move—but that's exactly what keeps them stuck.
In this video, I break down the three lessons that shifted everything for me. If you've been performing for others instead of pursuing what you actually want, this will hit different. The question isn't whether you're ready—it's whether you're willing to start.

“Every morning for 15 years, my first thought was: ‘How will I kill myself today?’ I put a gun to my head at 19—it misfired. That moment began a journey into the wild that saved my life and revealed an ancient path back to wholeness.”Most men today are living someone else's life, domesticated beyond recognition, severed from the primal wildness that once kept us alive and thriving. The result? Epidemic levels of depression, addiction, and spiritual emptiness that no amount of success can fill.In this raw conversation, wilderness guide Ned Weiner shares how tracking animals taught him to track his inner wildness, how nature became his therapist when therapy failed, and why the modern crisis of masculinity is actually a crisis of disconnection from our deepest selves.If you've ever felt like you're pushing a boulder up a mountain alone, this conversation offers a different path—one that leads home to who you really are.CONNECT WITH NEDwww.stepintoyourwild.com/🔥 READY TO STOP DRIFTING? → Take The 7-Day Reset for High-Performing Men: https://www.stumurray.com/7-day-reset Seven questions that separate the men who change from the men who stay stuck.

Strong men don’t say "I have to," "I need to," or "I should"—but most guys leak power through this victim language without realizing it. These three phrases instantly signal weakness and make you appear untrustworthy to your wife, kids, and colleagues.If you're tired of feeling powerless, resentful, or like you're constantly seeking approval, this simple language shift will help you reclaim your masculine authority. I'll show you exactly how to reframe weak language into confident leadership communication that makes people want to follow you.The result? You'll stop giving your power away, eliminate resentment, and become the grounded leader your family needs.CONNECT WITH WAYNEwww.instagram.com/asacredking🔥 READY TO STOP DRIFTING? → Take The 7-Day Reset for High-Performing Men: https://www.stumurray.com/7-day-reset Seven questions that separate the men who change from the men who stay stuck.

Most men are performing strength instead of embodying it – and women can sense it from a mile away. After Wayne Barkus’ divorce, he discovered he was choking on his own truth, seeking approval from everyone except himself. This conversation reveals why the age of uninitiated men is ending and what rises from the ashes.
We explore the invisible forces keeping men sedated, the difference between fitting in and belonging, and why women are exhausted carrying the weight of potential. From the collapse of masculine mentorship to the urgent need for modern initiation – this isn't just another self-help conversation.
Wayne shares his journey from performing for approval to self-sourcing his worth, and why the real work begins when comfort ends. If you've ever felt successful but empty, achieved everything yet satisfied nothing, this mirror might sting – but it could change your life.

There's a voice inside you that knows things your logical mind hasn't figured out yet. I spent 8 years ignoring mine — until my body started screaming what my intuition had been whispering all along.
This is the story of walking away from a respected career in education, not because I hated it, but because something deeper was calling. It's about the dangerous comfort of "pretty good" opportunities and why the whisper you've been ignoring might be the most important voice you'll ever hear.
Most of us have been taught to outsource our truth — to parents, systems, experts, society's definitions of success. But what happens when you finally stop asking permission and start listening to your internal compass?
If you've ever felt that quiet hum of disconnection, that sense that "this isn't quite it," this story is for you. Because the answers you're looking for? You already have them.

📌 If you’ve ever asked yourself:
“Why do I feel so lost as a man?”“Where are the role models?”“Why does society keep shaming masculinity?”
“How do I become a better man when no one showed me how?”This video is for you.

Most people chase success. But after working with over 100 high-performing men I’ve seen what’s behind the curtain.
This video uncovers the 5 brutal truths that successful men rarely talk about. The emotional numbness. The constant proving. The relationships quietly falling apart while the business thrives.
If you feel like you’ve built a life that looks good on paper but feels empty in your chest, this is your wake-up call.
This isn’t motivation. This is the truth most men are too afraid to say out loud. But once you see it—you can’t unsee it.

What if a Netflix drama was shaping real government policy… based on a story that’s not even true?
Adolescence, a fictional show about a 13-year-old boy who stabs a girl after being exposed to online “manosphere” content, is now being discussed by the UK Prime Minister as something students should watch in school.But there’s one huge problem: the scenario has never actually happened in real life.
In this video, I break down what Adolescence gets dangerously wrong about young men, mental health, and online communities—and why building policy on fiction could do more harm than good.
If you’re a parent, educator, or just someone concerned about the next generation of boys, this is a conversation we need to be having.
Inside this episode:
• Why the show’s central premise has no grounding in real youth violence data
• How demonizing young men masks their actual mental health crisis
• The truth about incel, red pill, and manosphere communities (they’re not all the same)
• How moral panic is rewriting policy—and ignoring the root issues
• What boys really need: role models, real guidance, and someone to actually see them

When you meet certain people in your life, it’s not always clear what role they will play.
My guests Matt Thompson and Bradley Daye are two of those people. We met over a decade ago playing football at Mount Allison University. We’ve all gone through some massive shifts over those years and throughout that time we have only grown more aligned in how we want to show up in the world. They have become lifelong brothers and will forever inspire me to be a better human.
In this episode we discuss:
- Purpose driven business/organizations
- Creating spaces where people can thrive
- The importance of leading by example
- What true masculine leadership looks like
And so much more! I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Do you ever feel helplessly caught up in the rat race? Do you ever wonder how you can get off the fast-paced treadmill?
If so, this conversation is a MUST listen. My guest, Macy Miller, designed and built her family’s tiny home in 2011. Her now iconic tiny house has been featured in Time and Dwell Magazine. She’s influenced countless tiny house enthusiasts around the world.

Have you felt overwhelmed with the growing number of people who are ending up on our streets? Do you envision a more equitable society where homelessness is never inevitable, inescapable, or a way of life?
I sure have. Often.
In this episode I have an honest and confronting dialogue about homelessness with my friend Charlie Burrell, founder of The Humanity Project. Charlie believes a community can ignite social change and improve the everyday lives of our fellow human beings. Their organization’s objectives have been achieved by ensuring 100% of donated resources are put directly back into the community. They have fed over 500,000 people since 2014 and continue to expand their positive impact - all without a cent from the government.
In this episode we go DEEP. A few key topics include:
- The inception of The Humanity Project
- Getting to the root of homelessness, mental health and addiction
- The fragility of our existing systems - it can happen to anyone
- Creating social structures and support systems that catch people who fall through the cracks
- The challenges of working with government on addressing the root of homelessness
If you want to live in a vibrant community, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, this conversation is a MUST listen.

What is more important to you being right or pursuing truth? These two goals can often come in conflict with one another, and far too often our desire to be right can be the barrier to deeper connection.
In this episode, Marcel Petipas and I dive deep into some of the greatest social and political challenges we are collectively facing: cancel culture, identity, politics, tribalism, political corruption, and so much more. We engage in constructive and nuanced dialogue with the common goal of deeper understanding.
Marcel also shares his thoughts on the importance of emotional intelligence and critical thinking in navigating our complex world.
We will ultimately disagree with one another, and that's part of what makes life diverse and beautiful. And underneath all of that, it's so important to remember that there is more that connects us than there is that divides us.
This episode with Marcel might just be my favourite episode yet. I hope you enjoy.

Daniel Beaupre reached out to me after one of my previous episodes and shared a bit about his personal transformation journey. After my initial call with him, I knew his story had to be shared. Daniel was adopted as an infant and went through an incredibly traumatizing childhood, which ultimately led him to doing 11 years in prison. He is now on the other side of that and has completely changed his life around. He is now a professional boxer and an active member in his community. His hope is that his suffering is not in vain and that he can help inspire others who are going through hard times. His story does just that.

This episode with Neal Collins really made me consider my beliefs around real estate… a place I’ve had mixed feelings about for quite awhile. As Neal says, real estate is the commodification of land and as such has become the epitome of the transactional world. He is doing amazing work with his company Latitude, where he and his team are attempting to re-imagine real estate as a relational model. We go far beyond the housing market, however, and dive deep into philosophy about our purpose and place on this planet, how the stories we hold shape our actions, our relationship with nature and each other, and so much more!

I want to thank you all for tuning in to the podcast so far, whether that's been many episode or one or just this one. This has been a new journey with a steep learning curve. But I feel so blessed to be having these conversations and sharing them with you. It truly hope these interviews have been of service to you and have offered you enjoyment, inspiration, or whatever else you are needing.
This process is so new to me, and I'm learning new aspects of it every day. If you have any feedback or constructive criticism, feel free to reach out. I'd love to hear your input on how to take this podcast to another level and better serve you.
I decided to do something that I would normally have a really hard time doing. I've given myself permission to take a four week break. Part of that is because it's summer and I'll be going on some hikes and trips and will be out of service. The other part is because I'm doing some big work on the back end of things. I plan to ramp up the social media presence, create new and different forms of content, bring on new and inspiring guests from around the world and so much more. This will take some serious work and dedicated effort to learn the new skills and take things to another level. But I'm happy to do this to be of greater service and offer more for you.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. And I'll see you in four weeks. In the meantime, take care of yourselves and take care of one another. Peace!
This episode, with Margaux Khoury, touches on so many interesting topics including: creating new systems based on trust and respect; the value of being able to admit we were wrong and being open to change our minds; reaching the highest point of contribution while nurturing what matters most to us; and the perils of censorship. So many juicy ideas for you to sink your teeth into!

Do you want to see human systems — sport and leisure, education, healthcare, etc. — where ALL individuals have an opportunity to thrive? In this episode, I sit down with research and community activist, Dr. Jackie Oncescu, where we talk about creating new systems and structures designed to have everyone at their best. We dive into topics such as tapping into belonging and contribution as a means of creating rich and meaningful lives; using human centered design to develop systems that serve people, rather than systems designed by ‘experts’ that are fit to bureaucratic metrics; healing ourselves as a means of deepening connection and being of service to others; and so much more. This is a juicy conversation you won't want to miss!

This is a special episode of The Connected Movement Podcast. In this show, we decided to flip the script. My guest, Darren Duguay, a certified Emotional Fitness Educator, asks me the questions. We thought it would be a great way to demonstrate the power of his practice, by showing rather than telling.
Only days before the interview was scheduled to happen, I had some profound life changes happening that cracked my heart wide open. As you can hear in this interview, I’m feeling some deep emotions move through me. I could have easily rescheduled the interview, but instead wanted to lean into the emotions and model vulnerability. Because that’s the world I want to co-create, one where we live into our values and principles, even when it is scary. I hope you enjoy.
Guest Bio:
Darren Duguay is has completed 27 years’ service in the Canadian Armed Forces. He embraces his roots of being Indigenous as well as his journey with complex Post Traumatic Stress (C-PTS) to serve others. Upon return from Afghanistan in 2011, he returned back to school in 2012 with the Emotional Fitness® Institute to receive his Emotional Fitness® Coach and Instructor’s Certification after completing two years of intensive experiential education and training.
As an Emotional Fitness® Educator for nine years & Founder of your Emotional Fitness® Academy, Darren leverages his experiences to support people with tools of Emotional Fitness®. Darren is a veteran Toastmaster, and is a co-author of the book “ONE” with a chapter entitled “Connect Within – Trauma Is Our Friend”.
Do you feel overwhelmed with the current state of affairs? Do you long for a more beautiful world that your heart knows is possible? Entrepreneur, activist and political candidate, Nicholas Pereira, joins me on the show in an informative and inspiring conversation. In this episode we dive deep into creating a life of service, transcending divisive partisan politics and seeking deeper understanding, the need for values and principles to guide us, and so much more.
Guest Bio:
Nicholas, former People's Party of Canada candidate in the 2021 Canadian Federal Election, has become one of the leading voices for traditional values and intelligent populism. During his controversial campaign, his semen retention lifestyle business that helps men quit porn, regulate ejaculation and become more focused and disciplined made international news. For most North Americans, this ancient eastern practice is unknown and as one may imagine, garnered a wide range of reactions from the public. Recently Nicholas was announced as the People's Party of Canada's Official Candidate for his riding in the next General Canadian Election. In the meantime, he continues to build momentum and stay in action with speaking tours, rallies and interviews. Topics range from North America's current political challenges, the dangers of "wokism" and the need for a populist revolution. Through his latest endeavour, the newly launched Canadian Unity Project, Nicholas and his dedicated team have pledged to build the largest online knowledge bank on self-sufficiency for like-minded individuals and families.

Do you hear the whisper of that inner voice, telling you to lean in to the mystery of life? Can you hear the call to adventure? My guest, Cory Richardson, shares how he broke out of his limiting beliefs and habits to create a life full of creativity and wonder. Cory's journey is nothing short of inspiring. I hope this episode provides you the spark to stop waiting and start co-creating the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.
Guest Bio:
Cory Richardson loves adventure and watching plants grow. Now at 44, home on Dream Seed Farm in Jemseg, he finds balance with family life and making a living doing many creative endeavors, rooted, but still dreaming.
After his SoloMAX kayak trip in the late 90's, which included 7 months on the ocean paddling from Vancouver to Central Mexico, Cory lived as a vagabond in Texas and California, recording his journals on SoloMAX.com before "blogging" was a thing. Hurricane Katrina gave him a mission to organize Burners and Rainbows under the biggest geodesic dome at Burning Man, which he got donated to support a kitchen run by people from Rainbow Gatherings. Nine months serving in Louisiana and Mississippi doing disaster relief opened his eyes to what an egalitarian organization can accomplish.
Hosting a circus school at Casa de Mis Amigos in Mazatlan, Mexico and other summer camp-like projects for youth in Mexico, led to the invention of an art therapist position at Forest Hills School in Saint John, hired as "Citizenship Education Facilitator." That year he visited Uganda to bring back to the classroom lessons and experiences to support non-profit projects for orphan youth. He raised money sewing simple hammocks that bought four sewing machines donated to two Uganda non-profits.
Three years and three trips to Uganda later, Cory helped start a new NGO called CHAT To The Future that funded two new orphanages. His hammock making project, Stitch Uganda Together, became a custom luxury hammock brand, Hanging HUGS, which promotes the values of freedom and comfort in nature, and finding one's happy place alone or enjoying a good cuddle.
Five years ago, Cory met his wife Eunna Cho from Korea in Cuba and a year later they were back in Cuba having a pre-honeymoon kayak expedition paddling the coast and getting arrested a couple times, "because you don't do that in Cuba." Cory returned to Cuba again for the fourth time in 2020, to establish new rock climbing routes, but he isn't telling where they are, as there is still more to do and first ascents are his favourite thing.
Over the last eight years, his rock climbing has focused on developing Walton Glen Gorge, where solitude of wilderness is precious, but he always enjoys guiding old and new friends to share this treasure, the "Yosemite of New Brunswick". Not far from the gorge, he purchased ten acres of forest to create a community project under the Dream Seed banner, which will host endless summer camps for egalitarian education based on talking circles.
Two years without travel have given time to renovate a hundred year old homestead and be a father to Sierra, now three years old. Dream Seed Farm welcomes campers through Hipcamp.com and has space for a tiny house park for those ready to escape the city. He still swings a hoop at festivals, and picks up jobs milling logs and sailing Seas the Day, depending which way the wind blows.
