Paul Robson is the Co-Founder and Leader of the European men’s work organization Maniphesto, which hosts a podcast, men’s coaching, and men’s events. I’ve spoken with him twice on his podcast, and I got the sense that beneath our American vs. European cultural differences, we’d find common ground. Because as I’ve discovered, Americans and Europeans are mirror images of each other. American externalize what is internal to Europeans, and vice versa. In that, we have a great deal to share with each...

For a man, there's no blessing greater than that of a friend. Yes of course, a wife, children, a home, and a successful career are important. But the value of friendship to men can't be overstated. Which is why, for all its flaws, the men's movement has had one unmistakably positive impact: to wake men up to the necessity of brotherhood. Which is why I'm grateful for this podcast series with my friend, Jonathan West. This guy means a lot to me, and to say more about that would only take away fro...

Anneliese is a wife, mother, podcast host, and the brilliant voice behind one of the most confident and outspoken Christian values-based accounts I follow, Feminine Not Feminist. Her Instagram page has grown to more than 140,000 followers in just two years. Her success proves that feminism is failing, and that women are ready for a new way forward, The Great Reconciliation. But that doesn't mean the hurdles to get there are over. Because everything in our culture incentivizes women to disrespect...

BUY "GOOD KILLS" HERE: https://amzn.to/3QQ3WSj He's also the pastor of Kings’ Church in New York City, and if you can think of a tougher American city to be a pastor in, during a more challenging decade, I'd love to hear it. That experience has forged him into one of the boldest, most outspoken preachers I've been blessed to encounter. The word that comes...

Dino, aka The Art of Purpose, is famous as the millionaire educator who’s turning Twitter into his personal art gallery. But he’s much more than that. He’s also a husband, a new father, a former public school teacher, and a man who’s made success on Twitter possible for hundreds of students, including me. In fact, the most important decision I ever made with regard to my relationship with social media was signing up for his programs. Because social media is a big like a tidal wave that’s swamped...

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) is the author of the classic “The Prophet” and is bestselling American poet of the 20th century. He’s honored in Arabic literature as one of the greats of their Romantic era. However, in America his critical reception has been much more mixed. While the public loves his work, critics celebrate him far less than his contemporaries, such as Robert Frost. But no one cares what elitist critics think. Beauty is a right, like air, water, and freedom of speech. Our tastes matt...

Ken Curry is a marriage and family therapist in Colorado, as well as a men’s group leader, husband, father, grandfather, and author. I also consider him an elder who’s made meaning out of his life experiences, turned victories and defeats to wisdom, and allowed struggle to teach him the meaning of joy. Ken is also a Christian, a devout believer who incorporates faith into his broad and deep perspective, or perhaps his perspective is built around it. Which makes him rare in the men's movement, Ch...

Toby Sumpter is a pastor, author, blogger, YouTube star, husband and father, and he articulates the why of beauty, strength, marriage and children, better than anyone I've heard. Because what are beauty, strength, marriage, and children for? Have you ever thought about it? I'd understand if not. We often have a sense that these things are intrinsically valuable, in themselves and for the purposes they serve. But what is that purpose? When I first encountered this question, the answer felt just o...

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.

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...

Carlos Fenmann, aka The Bitcoin Coach, is a husband, father, entrepreneur, and Bitcoin educator. He’s the man who “orange pilled” ME in summer 2020, and my world was never the same. Carlos graciously agreed to come on the podcast to fill in some of your Bitcoin knowledge gaps and perhaps even some of mine too, following my discussion with LaserHodl .

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...

He's been on his own journey of transformation, from skinny fat bugman of trash world into Primal Handsome Nationalist of Gastonian Proportions. In our conversation we discussed: Who he w...

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.

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.

Dr Warren Farrell is a political scientist, educator, and bestselling author of The Myth of Male Power and The Boy Crisis.

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 ...
