For all our focus on what masculinity should not be, very little is known about what masculinity should be, and is. The emphasis on wounds, harm and the need for healing, may have prevented us from thinking about the ‘shadow side’ of that—namely, the possibility that the results of trauma and inner damage that are playing out in the lives of many men, may indeed be indicators of yet deeper things. Could there be a deeper nature to men? Could there be more to us, beyond mere symptoms (like anger ...

Me and my friend John Richards recently decided to record one of our conversations. As it is my custom, I did not prepare in any way — when it comes to heart-inspired conversations, I have learned to simply 'tune in' to the reality within, lay down any agendas I might have, and stay open and curious. But even I didn't expect this conversation to happen in the way it did... Our time together turned from conversation to interview, but it wasn't John who was being interviewed — it was me! We delved...

In this episode, I am finally reunited with my friend John Fontaine, to talk about something we both love wholeheartedly — movies! Join us as we sit down to discuss topics such as: — why films are important to most people — what are our favourite films and why — how have we searched in film, for something missing in our reality — how movies represent and mirror the spiritual and masculine journey — what our favourite films and characters tell us about ourselves — how movies represent and mirror ...

In this conversation, I sit down with a remarkable young man, Alexander Dziri, whom I have had the honour to meet earlier this year. A bit about him: A professional breakdancer in his younger years, Alex was part of 'Team Shmetta' — one of the top crews in the world between 2009 and 2013. With them, he has travelled the world and 'battled' on stages of more than 10.000 people. Alex has organised a world breakdance championship called 'Raw Circles' in his home city of Antwerp, in Belgium. At its ...

'What is your story?' Attempting to answer this question would be, for every one of us, a process. Not many of us have clarity about the rich, confusing complexity of concepts like 'story' and 'roots'...not to mention the idea of a real, substantial, practical spirituality. Needless to say, true masculinity cannot exist, unless it is based on these things. To start 'digging deeper' into them, I sat down with John Fontaine — somebody I have known for a while now and have become friends with — who...

Depression comes to us in many different forms; but today we will look at the kind that I have dealt with in my life, and after a decade-long battle, have successfully defeated. For a while now, I have been helping men face, engage, and overcome that very same kind of depression; and this podcast offers insight into what I have come to call 'the missing link' in the battle with depression -- empowering men to step out of its suffocating embrace and get their manhood back... The lion must roar......

''The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.'' — Ernest Hemingway, ''A Farewell to Arms'' Among many things that are true of the human condition in general and men in particular, is the fact that we are broken. Not insecure, not immature, and certainly not just needing to learn how to be better... No — all men are broken. 'I cried when I was born', wrote George Herbert once, 'and every day shows why.' Indeed it does. The world, and all who live in it, have once...

When we were boys, we needed the world of men -- our fathers but also other men -- to love, train, teach, discipline, and empower us on the journey of carrying the 'feelings of childhood into the powers of manhood' -- as Coleridge beautifully put it... Later, when we are adults, we often fool ourselves by thinking we no longer need real input from other men... Because we don't know that deep inside, below all our success, achievement and our public persona; beneath all falsehood and pretence, th...

If things like heroism, bravery, passion, and integrity, are optional in a man's life, why then are boys so drawn to them in their first years? While we were growing up, we loved films, comic books and tales of heroism, stories about heroic men, superheroes who, facing fearsome enemies and overcoming great odds, come to the rescue of those in need... Men who are dangerous, but good. Men who serve a cause greater than themselves. Men who are not fighting out of hatred for the enemy but out of lov...

Welcome to the Men's Corner Podcast! Join me, George Stoimenov, on a journey to true, deep, authentic masculinity. If it is true that nature abhors vacuum, it is also true that, in the absence of good men who are strong, evil men fill the vacuum with their strength. So, strength in men is much needed — history has proven this to be a fact — but it must be in the hands of good men; for history has also shown us the painful truth that while good men are fearful and timid, the evil ones are confide...
