Eric Carroll is a husband, father, and host of the Dad Talk Today podcast. He’s also a leading national advocate to end dad deprivation and parental alienation, a consequence of the national divorce industry which is worth tens of billions of dollars annually. This massive field is incentivized to wreck the American family through the American father. And Eric’s outspoken approach, Southern drawl, and down-home attitude has helped become a well-recognized personality and advocate for fathers wit...

MY 50TH INTERVIEW Douglas Gillette is the co-author of “King, Warrior, Magician, Lover”, an immortal classic of the men’s movement. He’s also a husband, father, college professor, Jungian analyst, and poet. I hear his book mentioned weekly because it helps men see their inherent goodness and nobility, in an era dedicated to shaming men for often exaggerated crimes of wickedness. The mode of thinking it inspired also showed me that I could take core aspects of me and round them out in the hopes o...

Jon Rennie is a former US Navy submarine officer, as well as a business leader, podcast host, and author. We met on Twitter, where I saw his book “All In the Same Boat” about his time aboard the USS Tennessee and what it taught him about life and business. I rarely read business books, but I thought I’d give his a try. As a lover of sailing, his sea stories stirred my heart, and I thought my audience might enjoy them too. In our conversation we discussed: His background, and some formative momen...

Paul Risse is a husband, father, community leader, and author of the new book “The Psychedelic Christian.” I’m new at being a Christian, but I’ve had positive experiences with ayahuasca, sound healing, psychotherapy, and more. If my stories sound far out, Paul’s experiences are otherworldly: Lucid dreaming, meditation, gnosticism, Hinduism, raw food veganism, microdosing, psychedelics from every letter of the alphabet, a year of living without electricity, and more. In Paul's new book, he outlin...

Pastor Doug Wilson is a husband, father, grandfather, author, Youtube star and the leader of the Christ Kirk Christian community in Moscow, Idaho. He's also a man unafraid to speak the truth in a quiet but firm, compassionate but direct voice, sprinkled with a genuine sense of grandfatherly humor, and the occasional dad joke. But at the same time, I've discovered he causes friction within the Christian community, apparently for saying things that we all mutter under our breath or say aloud over ...

CR Wiley is a husband, father, podcast host, pastor of a church outside of Portland, Oregon, and the author of the book “The Household and the War for the Cosmos.” For me his book was the crystal around which 20 years of thinking about masculinity instantly solidified. What most men of the Renaissance want is a plot of land, a wife to share our lives with, noble work, children, a God to worship, and to be left alone. It turns out there's a word for that. It's called a household. And not only doe...

The first few years of fatherhood were hard for me. I was so overwhelmed, angry, and lonely, that it caused chaos in every other part of my life" "My suffering was so great that I finally had to face the problem head-on and do something about it, or risk losing everything. My marriage, my family, my business… In fact, it got so b...

CB Robertson is an author, husband, father, and autodidactic philosopher. If you don't immediately recognize his name, you might recognize his Instagram handle: Caffeine and Philosophy. If I'm one type of man, who allows life to interrupt his philosophical pursuits, CB is the other type of man for whom philosophy IS life, or at least a big part of it. I always admired his clarity of thought even if I was a bit intimidated. But if I know my audience, you guys like lengthy, in-depth episodes to ch...

Suzanne Venker is an author and marriage coach who walked onto the battlefield of the sexual holy war in 2012. She's written books, appeared on radio shows, and developed a coaching practice to bring couples closer together by helping both women AND men women extract the feminist programming embedded in our psyches. She’s on the front lines in a way that I think few are, seeing the ways that feminism warps, distorts, and even shatters women's hopes for a happy family life. In our conversation we...

LaserHodl is a husband, former software engineer, fantastically deep and broad thinker, Bitcoin citizen, and Sovereign Hopeful. Many in the past couple years have attempted to explain what's going on in our world, but when I heard LaserHodl recently I said, I think this man has got it. His thesis is that what we're experiencing has to do with money, how it's created, why that system is failing, and what might happen next. And buried within that picture is the answer for what we, as men, can do a...

With my podcast I wanted to create great conversations of shared meaning with men that I admire, who are making a difference as men. By those three standards, I feel confident saying that this third episode of Race and the Renaissance with my friend Jonathan West might be my best episode of all time. After four conversations so far, we’ve built rapport, a flow, and trust to talk about subjects I don't hear anyone else discussing in the men's space. But with 2022 approaching, we need to. In this ...

Arthur Kwon Lee is an internationally acclaimed fine artist who's exhibited in galleries and collections around the world and been named artist of the year by prestigious institutions. He received early lessons of masculinity from his “rooftop Korean” pastor father that fed into his classically inspired paintings. But when Arthur took his perspectives off the canvas and onto social media, he discovered the hatred that our culture has for masculinity, as well as for boundaries, discipline, and or...

# Thanks to all my listeners for an incredible first year! # Ryan Michler is the host and founder of the Order of Man podcast and movement, and one of my greatest teachers in the Renaissance of Men. From him I’ve learned about podcasting, consistency, and high achievement. But I’ve also found that he’s one of the deepest and most nuanced thinkers and doers about masculinity, from the jiu jitsu mats to canoe building, fatherhood and hunting. In our conversation we discussed: The importance of fai...

Dr Warren Farrell is a political scientist, educator, and bestselling author of The Myth of Male Power and The Boy Crisis. He defected from the heights of the feminist movement, the National Organization for Women in the 1970's, and at great personal cost he set out an adventure to share the truths that he knew about men, women, and families. The Financial Times of London named him one of the world's top 100 thought leaders. His books are published in more than 50 countries and 19 languages. He'...

President Anthony “Dream” Johnson is the Host and Founder of the 21Convention and 21Studios. Fifteen years ago at age 18 he started a meetup group, that became a conference, then a convention, then three conventions—some around the world—and now a summit. Along the way he had the idea of filming the men who spoke at his events and releasing their talks free to the world. With that decision he surfaced the work of men that had given their lives to exploring vital aspects of masculinity. He calls ...

Alison Armstrong is an internationally acclaimed educator and expert on understanding men, women, and relationships. She’s also the bestselling author of “The Queen’s Code.” Yes, the Renaissance of Men podcast is about men and masculinity, but in her book, Alison writes, “To know men is to love them.” To me, that earns her a seat at the table. Because Alison has spent 30 years — yes, three decades — studying men, and has devoted her life to explaining men to women. Her goal is to improve human r...

Celebrated British author Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is the author of one of the best-known and most beloved poems in the world, “If.” Kipling writes in plain language, about situations and scenarios that we can recognize, even if they aren't familiar to us from our everyday experience. He explains how being a Man is a result of decisive action, not simply being, while laying out a sort of “North Star” for excellence to guide us in how we conduct our lives. I couldn’t think of a better work to ...

Jeff Liboiron is a martial artist, voice over performer, fiction and non-fiction author, and most recently, poet. It was his poetry that brought him to my attention. His writing is vivid, brutal, and real. It revels in graphic violence, blades and flowing blood, dark skies, screams, and steel. And the celebration of a crumbling empire's final, fatal collapse... and the dangerous world its corpse will leave behind. In our conversation we discussed: How being born without half a leg influences his...

It's a thrilling story that many of you may be able to relate to, about a young man living overseas who finds his way into an online community where all is not what it seems. It's an examination about what happens when you take appealing, but bad ideas to the extreme, how we all get lost in our screens, kick around more dangerous ideas than we're willing to own up to, and what the consequences of that might be in our connected age...

When I started this conversation series with my friend Jonathan West of the Being Husband Podcast, I went in without expectations. I just knew that much like men and women, black people and white people have lived together in America for a long time. But also like men and women, it seems like black people and white people don't know much about each other. Once Jonathan and I started talking as men, as friends, and as equals from our respective backgrounds, I wondered what I would learn from him,...

Bronson Lee Norton is a musician, podcaster, bowhunter, and bodybuilder, and in 2015 he heard a woman's cries for help coming from a nearby house he happened to be walking past, on a route he didn't usually take. Then, like a real capital-M man he went charging in through that door and changed three lives, including his own. But rather than allowing that event to define him, he used it to redefine himself, thereby turning one of the worst events into his life into a doorway through which some of...

And as a valued elder in this growing Renaissance of men, his words carry special weight. In our conversation we discussed: How tribes of men are forming to respond to the reckoni...
