The Great Man Within - podcast cover

The Great Man Within

Dominick Quartuccio and Bryan Stacywww.dominickq.com
A high-performing man’s guide to the essentials: PURPOSE: Learn how to find your calling and live a life of meaning and fulfillment. SEX & INTIMACY: Master sex and deepen intimacy MASCULINITY: Debunk outdated myths and define masculinity on your own terms. LEADERSHIP: Master the art of leading yourself so you can inspire and impact others. BOOKS GREAT MEN READ: Get access to must-read books for aspiring Great Men. WOMEN: Learn inside secrets from inspiring leaders of women’s communities. It’s been said that the Definition of Hell is: “At the end of your life, the man you became meets the man you could have become.” This happens to the men who choose to settle for a life of predictability, comfort and safety…at the expense of living their Purpose. This podcast is for the man who rejects good because he settles for nothing less than Great. That man you “could have become” is the Great Man Within you. Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich) calls this the “other self.” Stephen Pressfield (War of Art) calls this “the unlived life.” Wayne Dyer (Wishes Fulfilled) calls this “the invisible self.” Dominick Quartuccio and Bryan Stacy are your guides to helping you discover and live The Great Man Within You.

Uncomfortable Conversations with Black Men feat. Jay Washington and marcus d. harvey

What can I personally be doing better/differently/more of to make this an environment where every man can thrive? That discussion opened a candid, and oftentime...

Lessons from my Sex, LGBTQIA+ and Gender Studies Coach feat. Cory Bush

#206: Today, I’m bringing you behind the scenes in my learning – or should I say un-learning process – in an area of my life where I’m woefully under-educated. Back in November I hired my very first sex, LGBTQIA+ and Gender Studies coach, Cory Bush. Why would I do such a thing you might ask? Over the years, I started feeling a strong pull from my inner compass to answer some of these recurring questions: Why don’t I have more gay friends? Why don’t I know anyone who’s transgender? What do I do a...

How to Become Inspired by Your Own Life feat. Raj Jana

#192: You guys know that Bryan and I are passionate believers that drifting is the #1 enemy to living a powerful life. Drift is that state of existence where you think you’re in conscious control of the decisions you’re making…but in actuality it’s your unconscious beliefs, outdated habits and patterns that are piloting your plane…taking you to destinations you don’t desire to go. This is why you can have all sorts of success on paper, but have the experience of unfulfillment on the inside. That...

The Life Changing Magic of Failing Spectacularly (DQ Solo)

Failure proves conclusively that something is wrong with one's aims or the plans by which the object of those aims is sought." (excerpt from: Outwitting the Devil). Without failing, and failing in a big way, we often toil around in mediocrity. Today DQ does a solo episode on how spectacular failures often are necessary pitstops on ...

Awaken the Wild Man Within feat. Ian MacKenzie

#186: One of my favorite books of 2020 – and now one of my favorites of all time – is Glennon Doyle’s book Untamed. It’s a book written for women so most men will never pick it up, which in my mind is a tragedy, because so much of it speaks to the inner power that we all have that goes untapped…because we’re afraid of what comes with that power. The opening story takes place with Glennon taking her daughter Tish to the zoo to see a cheetah named Tabitha. After a few minutes of observing the chee...

How Money Effects Our Masculinity feat. Teri Kelley

#184: In my 20s, I went out on a first date with a woman who asked me a question I’d never been posed before: “How would you handle being with a woman who made more money than you?” To highlight how un-woke I was at the time, I was caught flat-footed and without words because in all honesty: The thought had never crossed my mind. Part of that was because I was in financial services, in a big job and making more money than most people I knew…especially people my age. But on a deeper, subconscious...

Finding The Courage to Dream Bigger (DQ Solo)

As a leader of men, I have a bird’s eye view of how men take their first steps on the path of inner work. For the majority of us, step #1 is mounting the courage to break from your existing social structures, as most of your friends or family won’t understand. This takes courage. You’re breaking an unspoken contract that you have in place with them about “how we ope...

Mindfulness for Men feat. Mark Melvin

#182: Many men, myself included, learn to stop feeling our emotions at an early age. So what happens? We subsequently build an over-dependence on our minds. Thinking…analyzing…strategizing…calculating… And our minds can get LOUD, can’t they? So loud sometimes you can’t hear anything else – like your instinct, intuition or even your heart. Especially your heart. Your mind can start to feel like a bunch of wild horses pulling you in a million different directions, leaving you bruised, battered, ex...
