SMP EP95: Ryan Michler - Why Men Need Other Men To Grow & Heal Their Pain
“I’m a grown-ass man. So at some point we need to let go of the excuses like, ‘Oh, my father wasn’t around…’ Well, how long are you going to lean on your father not being around for you to not be a man. At some point that excuse expires.”
Ryan Michler has been supporting men and masculinity for almost 10 years. He’s the founder of the Order Of Man and The Iron Council which is more than answering the call for creating community and leadership among men. He’s a friend of Sovereign Man and he’s here to help remind us why this work needs to be done. Topics covered include fatherless homes, disengaged and confused fathers, empowering your ability to serve your family and community through economic success, and of course, how important it is to find your community of men.

SMP EP93: Lt. Col. David Grossman - Violence Is Exploding - Why A Man Needs To Learn Trauma Care
“One casualty is one too many, every life is precious. We’re preserving and protecting lives like nothing we’ve ever seen before. But now we have to apply those lessons to our loved ones and to ourselves in these desperately and astoundingly violent times.”
“You are a sovereign in your home. In your castle.”
LT. Col. Dave Grossman is back again to take the topic of violence discussed in the previous episode to the next level. Preparation. The murder rates throughout the world are under-represented. We all see the violence happening at home and abroad, it’s being reported daily but it doesn’t tell the whole picture. Of course, the world is too big for everything to be reported and no one wants that anyway. But the real issue is, on a macro scale, the violence statistics aren’t accurate and that leaves men, the protectors, at a disadvantage because they might not realize the need to develop the skills needed to save lives.As always, this episode is about taking ownership and exercising your sovereignty.
Dave and Nicky discuss two very simple and yet very powerful techniques that have been saving lives for decades. So simple, the tech can be bought on Amazon.
Dave Grossman literally wrote the book On Killing, compiling countless interviews with soldiers and law enforcement people who’ve killed serving their countries. He served 24 years in the military as a paratrooper, Sargent, Ranger, and Westpoint psychology professor. He also wrote On Killing, On Spiritual Combat, On Hunting. He also trains law enforcement throughout the world.

SMP EP92: Lt Colonel Dave Grossman - Learn How To Become A Good, Dangerous Man
“Not all that is gold doth glitter. Not all those who wander are lost. The old that is strong does not wither and the deep roots are not touched by the frost.” - J.R.R. Tolkien
“Giving someone a weapon implies your trust in the maturity and responsible behaviour of the recipient. It speaks of your desire for their safety and well being. It communicates your mutual aspiration to make the world a better and safer place, by putting this tool in the hands of a virtuous and trustworthy person. But remember, in the end, you are the weapon. Everything else is just a tool.” - Paraphrased from a quote by Rocky Warren
Men are symbols of strength. We’re protectors of our sovereignty, our principles, our families and loved ones. As Dave Grossman says in today’s episode, “we’re about protecting, preserving, and conserving what’s good.” That means learning how to be a dangerous man in dangerous times. A dangerous man fighting the good fight. But this isn’t something to approach casually and weapons, or ‘being a weapon’ as Dave puts it, is a matter of great responsibility. Dave Grossman comes to us today to help us see the truth of what’s happening in our own streets and on our battlefields and how a man can prepare himself to join the battle. He literally wrote the book On Killing, compiling countless interviews with soldiers and law enforcement people who’ve killed serving their countries. He served 24 years in the military as a paratrooper, Sargent, Ranger, and Westpoint psychology professor. He also wrote On Killing, On Spiritual Combat, On Hunting. He also trains law enforcement throughout the world.

SMP EP91: Michael Butler - The Single Father's Guide To Surviving Your Divorce
“Get yourself healthy first, grab the oxygen mask. Get some men in your life. Stop the financial bleeding… It’s going to take a while to recover so think smart, think like a business owner but the main thing is heal yourself first so you don’t repeat the patterns.”
As today’s guest, Michael Butler says, we don’t plan for divorce. So if it happens and you’re not prepared, you can easily make a lot of emotionally charged decisions that make matters much worse. Especially if there are kids involved. Guilt, shame and regret are powerful emotions that will bring the worst out of us unless we have something to hold us accountable. Today we hear about the power of faith and masculine brotherhood to hold a man to his potential; the effect of the modern, feminised environment that can bring the worst out of a man and ill equip a boy to know how to handle relationships; the consequence of victim mentality and how to take ownership; and kids: the divorce is not your fault.
Michael is a pastor and father of two who’s been through a divorce. He didn’t cope well at first and learned from his mistakes. Through his faith, commitment to his kids and through the men in his life, he recovered and wrote his book to help other men maintain their dignity through divorce.

SMP EP90: Geoff Tomlinson - Why A Man Needs To Be Part Of A Brotherhood Of Men
“Attempting to walk the world as a man of honour and integrity will come out for you multiple times when the shit hits the fan. And it will always give you confidence. But it will also give you a fallback, default way of being when the world is trying to knock you off of your foundation. That’s a foundation that you can’t knock a man off of if he’s determined to stay on it.”
Boys look for role models as they grow up. In a perfect world, boys would be given a solid set of principles from their fathers that would be their foundation for life. Integrity, honour, and discipline are three that Geoff Tomlinson puts at the top of the list in todays episode. Unfortunately the state of families and of society in general has left too many boys looking elsewhere for guidance. And too often being mislead. But this episode isn’t so much about what men and boys don’t have, it’s about where they can find it once they’ve realized it’s missing.
In today’s episode:
The difference between what media and some women tell us they want vs the true role a man is meant to play.
Integrity, honour, and a moral compass.
Confusion among men about masculinity.
Men’s groups: what they offer and what they are not.

SMP EP89: Steve Richmond - Giving vs. Getting
“It’s not the fear of failing that really scares us, it’s the fear of success. Because once you get success you have to maintain success.”
We all depend on the relationships we have and especially how we contribute to them. As today’s guest puts it, that’s who we are. Understanding that and engaging with that will certainly lead to a fulfilling life. It’s about being of service and it’s also about getting past your fears. We all wake up, everyday to a context that we’ve set for ourselves, whether we did it intentionally or not. Your context might leave a lot of room for fear to creep in. Steve very simply states what that looks like and how we can set a new, more solid context for our purpose where fear doesn’t call the shots. And of course, having a group of men like the Sovereign Circle to help you create that context and face those fears is something every man needs.
Steve Richmond has been involved in men’s work for 30 years. He’s been a professional relationship and men’s coach for 15 years, helping men get out of their comfort zones, resolve barriers to their success and take control of life through action and responsibility.

SMP EP88: Shaun Thompson - How To Correctly Father Your Daughters
"I took all the uncomfortable slander from my wife's friends, from my daughter's friends and I never wavered. And there's something in doing that, that even if they're repelled because society is leaning that pressure on them, they respect it. And once you have someone's respect, you don't need anything else. I don't need approval."
A father’s good influence on his daughters teaches them how to recognize and find a good man for themselves. The respect a father earns from his daughters opens their eyes to the world as it truly is, so they know which steps in life are safe and which ones are heading in the wrong direction. Shaun Thompson has been a husband for 23 years and a father of two girls (now women) for 20. Shaun and his wife raised their girls in a world that was going ‘woke’. Despite being challenged by the women in his life, Shaun knew it was best to think for himself and raise his girls according to the principles he knew were right.
Shaun Thompson is a radio personality and talkshow host on AM560 The Answer.

SMP EP87: Joey Yochheim - How To Unf**k Your Life
“You are the common denominator in every problem you face.”
“Pull power away from the individual, you pull power away from a nation.”
Setting yourself up to be responsible for yourself and your family is a moral obligation. That means being able to sustain and protect yourself and your family through financial, physical, and mental fitness. In the echo chamber of our modern, woke society, everyone has access to a constant feed of messages telling you its ok to abandon traditional values and ultimately, abandon yourself. This isn’t what anyone truly wants but it’s too easy to get programmed with these ideals that strip away our power and we might not even realize it’s happening.
Joey Yoccheim is the cofounder of ExecuFit, a personal training fitness centre with a focus on helping entrepreneurs and executives develop personalized lifestyle and training for optimized, high-level performance. One powerful focus of the program is identifying subconscious thoughts you might have that are stripping away your power, holding you back from the peak performance you’re capable of in all aspects of your life.

SMP EP86: Billou & Arpa - The Great Patriot BUY-cott
“If you don’t agree with what’s going on in society, you need a blueprint for how to do something about it and this book provides that blueprint.”
It’s not always easy to know the truth of what’s going on out there or how different people, groups or organizations are - or are not - standing for truth and freedom. Billou has teamed up with Wayne Allyn Root (aka “the conservative warrior” and “the capitalist evangelist”) to write two books that are a blueprint for how to make sure your money goes to the people who support truth and freedom. 4.3 trillion dollars are spent by consumers every year and a lot can be done by taking money away from companies who promote and enforce anti human, woke ideology in the workplace, and who do business with corrupt governments who openly attack western morality, capitalism, and freedom such as the Chinese Communist Party.
These books are The Great Patriot Protest & Boycott Book: The Priceless List for Conservatives, Christians, Patriots, & 80+ Million Trump Warriors to Cancel "Cancel Culture" and Save America!, and their latest book, The Great Patriot BUY-cott Book: The Great Conservative Companies to BUY From & Invest In!. These two books offer up a list of companies to boycott and companies to BUY-cott.
Both books can be found on Amazon.

SMP EP84: Billou & Arpa - Why A Man Should Not Hold A Grudge
“How’s a man supposed to go into battle if he’s carrying all this extra dead weight?"
“You’ve got men in trenches. And you need a man to be able to jump out of the trench and run at the other one at a moments notice, without question, fighting for what’s right. And you can’t have that when we’re all stuck in victim blaming.”
A grudge is a burden to a man. An unnecessary weight he carries that will hold him back from being the man he should be. But facing these and bringing them to light can be hard to do with integrity. A man should know that when issues come up, his focus should be on finding the best way to come back to integrity. Ultimately, this behaviour in men is unacceptable. This behaviour has its place in the world but it doesn’t fit in the realm of the masculine man. Arpa and Billou explore examples from history that demonstrate how a man should handle the issues he faces among other men, and they explore the origins of the modern, feminized man.

SMP EP83: BILLOU & ARPA - What Is A High Value Man? Part 2
In these so called woke times, boys and men are getting mixed and distorted messages about what it means to be a man. Schools are even teaching boys that they don’t have to BE a man and that they might not be even if their anatomy suggests otherwise. It seems ridiculous to put that in words but that’s the reality we’re faced with. Wokeism isn’t the only thing boys have working against them these days. The effects of communist subversion are crystal clear to anyone who’s managed to maintain their mental sovereignty. Regardless of where it comes from it’s showing up everywhere and part of being a man is standing up for truth, freedom, family and society and that’s what this episode is about.
Arpa and Billou talk about some of the messages out there effecting our boys, how to be sure you’re surrounding yourself with the right people, and the principles a boy needs to start becoming a man.

“Being successful, being rich, being fit, being ripped, and having women desire you… those aren’t necessarily bad things. But do they make you a ‘high value man? My answer to that is absolutely not.”
There’s nothing wrong with financial success but that’s not necessarily a measurement of his value. The value of any person is measured by their integrity and the set of principles they carry and stand firm on.

SMP EP81: Ilan Srulovicz - Why We Need Traditional Masculinity NOW
“We villainized masculinity, we created confusion in identity, and we completely stripped God out of the picture. We’re putting God back in the picture. We’re telling men it’s ok to be strong, it’s ok to be aggressive, it’s ok to be assertive, and we’re giving them a platform to use that for good.”
The last several decades have revealed an attack on traditional values. We see this showing up in every aspect of society as the mainstream narrative gets more and more ridiculous. The impact has been pouring from one generation to another to the point that we now have broken families and too many boys being raised without fathers. Spencer Mozingo was raised by 3 generations of women and as he grew up, his disconnect from masculinity started to seriously interfere with his life. Spencer believes that if we don’t fix men, the world will fall apart.
Spencer is one of the leaders at The Summit. A men’s organization under the umbrella of Turning Point USA, who’s mission is to revive the masculine heart and to develop purpose-driven men who are leaders ready to serve their God, their family, and their nation.

SMP EP79: Billou & Arpa - Trust Account: What it is & Why You Need One With Your Men
“We live in an age and a time when a man’s not expected to keep his word anymore. Not to himself, not to other people. You can’t build a trust account with another man if you don’t have a reputation with that man of being someone whose word is good and can be maintained.”
A man’s accountability and his sovereignty go hand-in-hand. Your relationship to yourself; your self-respect, and the respect you get from those around you are earned by some form of accountability. Men need other men in their lives that they can count on. Accountability turns a group of men into a brotherhood that will ensure you stay on track and be the best that you can be.

SMP EP78: Avi Nakash - How To Raise Teenage Boys Into Masculine Men
“Chances are we’re not going to get the life we want unless we get to work. So what are the fundamentals, what are the basics that I need in order to have the life I want? You start talk about things like commitment and discipline and integrity and honour and dedication.”
Today’s teens have it harder in some ways than previous generations. The world they were born into is more complicated with mixed messages coming from every angle, broken families, and addictive substances and devices at their finger tips. All of this tends to pull a boy away from his natural process of growing into a man and he’s sent into the world, ill-equipped to handle his relationships, his emotions and his responsibilities. His only opportunity to transition into true manhood will come from the lessons learned from many mistakes he didn’t have to make.
Avi Nakash believes boys don’t have to learn the hard way or become a statistic. So he created Gameday Training “to serve mankind at the highest level, by preparing men to be their best in the areas of their life that matter most”.
Avi is a retired Israeli soldier and an entrepreneur. He’s spent several years focussed on personal development and men’s work including being a top leader in Landmark Worldwide.

SMP EP77: Eric Sardina - Why Men Need To Do Hard Things
“A right of passage has to be challenging. You have to question your ability to complete. And it requires a man to dig deeper than he thinks he has in the tank to be able to find his way to the end. And what they learn is they can get there. They can do it.”
A right of passage is the defining moment when a boy becomes fully accountable for his own actions in the world. It is the beginning of the transition from boyhood to manhood and it’s something that’s hard to come by in these modern times. Eric Sardina is a man who understands how dangerous it is for boys to go into the world without the mindset or principles needed to succeed, such as ‘being of service’. He created The Summit, a Christian based right of passage program that’s sponsored by Turning Point USA, a Christian organization that stands for faith and freedom in America. The program is designed to show men what it means to be strong men in their homes and in their community.

SMP EP76: Matthew Roda - How To Set High Standards & Keep Raising Them
“If you’re not physically at the best you can be it’s going to hurt your mental game. And vice versa. If your mental game isn’t on point, you’re not going to be performing physically like you could be.”
There’s a mainstream message promoting the idea that being soft is ok. Images of the ‘dad bod’ are found in social media where these men are heralded as accomplished and even sexy. “No thank-you” says today’s guest, Matt Roda. “If you’re not operating at a peak performance you’re not being the best man that you can be and I feel like the world deserves that version of you.” So much garbage is promoted through too many mainstream channels and it’s worth asking why and where it comes from. It has its roots and we discuss them in today’s episode. One main takeaway is that if you remove the basic premise of reality from people’s minds, you’ll have a bunch of confused people without purpose who are easy to control.
The crux of this conversation is physical and mental sovereignty.
Matt suggests:
- Men block out the noise, get in tunnel vision, and get disciplined.
- Lift heavy shit, put good nutrients in your body so your body won’t diminish.
- Be the leader in your relationship with your wife. Pick her up and show her your masculinity. Protect her and love her.
- Procreate. Raise badass children.
- Study a few different people, check out their mission and their principles and pick five things you like about each of them. Make that the foundation for who you want to be.
Matt is a father, a business and marketing coach, and motivational speaker. To learn more about Matt’s offerings, go to https://matthewroda.com/.

SMP EP74: Billou & Arpa - How Money Changes You As A Man
“Money makes you more of who you really are. If you’re a good person with money you’ll be a better person because it’ll let you amplify that. If you’re a bad person with money you’ll be a worse person because it’ll let you amplify that too.”
There are three phases every man will go through in his relationship with money. It’s a reflection of each man’s process of maturing through life. Understanding that process can help you avoid major pitfalls that get the best of us, especially given the power money can have over a man who’s not on his mission. There are many things a man can invest in to build himself up and prepare his family for the future.

SMP EP73: Billou & Arpa - What Is Freedom To A Man?
“Freedom for a man is to have no choice.”
There’s a small sense of freedom that comes from having nothing to do. No responsibilities. But it doesn’t last long before boredom sets in and for some of us, that nagging sense that we’re not reaching our full potential and that life is missing something. There’s another approach to freedom and it’s the only way. Find your purpose and surrender to it, fully. Heavy emphasis on surrender. If this seems counterintuitive, listen to today’s episode to get clear on how you can find true freedom.

“I think we should be profoundly concerned about the woke message being given to our children through our schools.”
“The only thing in the world we can control is ourselves. And we give way to bitterness, if we give way to cynicism or complacency or denial, then we’ve given away the one thing we can control. If you lose your temper, you didn’t lose it, you gave it away.”
Recent events have shown us there’s a force in the process of trying to take away our freedom; our ability to control our children, our families, and our communities. Even our beliefs. But ultimately these events have only served as a wakeup call. This force is not winning. It’s clear that the majority will not stand by to allow this to unfold. But the way forward is standing up for the principles that support our basic human nature and promote the virtue that strengthens every aspect of our selves and our society.
Lt Colonel David Grossman is a decorated soldier, Westpoint psychology professor, husband and father, and a man of faith. He’s seen the battle ground and he understands the strength of a man and a society that fights with virtue for truth and freedom. He knows that a man’s freedom is ultimately maintained by his virtuous principles, not his government. He’s written several books, including the Amazon best seller, On Killing (Marine Core Commandants required reading), On Combat, and the soon to be released, On Hunting. He’s trained military and law enforcement around the world.
Dave’s advice for how to empower your masculinity:
1. Get control of your life and promote healthy sleep for your self and your family.
2. Identify the things you can do in a violent world. Learn how to handle a weapon and know how to use it virtuously. Don’t live in fear.
3. Get control of your children, their training and education. Get control of local politics, school boards. Invest in their education and future through faith based, private education.
4. Live a virtuous life. Build a virtuous family.
Some of Dave’s other books are; On Combat, On Spiritual Combat, Sheepdog (kids book), and his latest book, soon to be published is, On Hunting.

SMP EP70: Sean Castrina - Success Requires Getting Uncomfortable
Just a few generations ago, the average man knew that hard work paid off, and there wasn’t much thought given to shirking responsibilities to self, family, community, and God. Now, many aspects of society will cradle a man who would rather take the easy road, choosing comfort and convenience over hard work and responsibility. Deep down, no man truly wants this but there’s a trend of promoting and raising diminished men who don’t know how or haven’t the courage to step out of their comfort zone. A man who doesn’t know his potential or how to get there is lost.
Here to help create a bridge for these men is Sean Catrina. Sean is a husband and father who’s created multiple 8 figure businesses. He’s proven to himself, his employees, and his family the value of hard work and stepping out of your comfort zone. This conversation explores why comfort has become so important to men, where some of the strongest influences in this trend come from, and the mindset it takes to break free and find your version of success.
