Dealing With Haters In The Pursuit of Excellence

Hate is a comfort drug of choice for our mediocre contemporaries who are merely meandering through life instead of choosing to pursue masculine excellence. They consume hate wherever they can find it, chew it up and then spew it back out. It gives their lives meaning. Makes them feel something. It distracts them from their […]

The Suicide Solution – Part Four: Find Your Masculine Tribe

Men today are without a place to call their own, a place where they can be genuinely masculine. Since the sexual revolution began rapidly taking hold in society it seems that male-only spaces have been eradicated at an equally expeditious pace. The Boy Scouts was one of the final remaining vestiges of exclusive male camaraderie. […]

The Suicide Solution – Part Three: Finding Peace in Purpose

For a man whose life in the present lacks meaning and purpose, his future can only be viewed as a vast insufferable chasm of hopelessness and chaos from which he can never escape. With little perceived reason to look forward to the future, and every reason to detest its inevitable arrival, the darkness of depression […]

The Suicide Solution – Part Two: Killing the Appeasement Mindset

If you want to feel like a worthless waste of human flesh, living your life for the acceptance of others is the most expedient way to make that desire a reality. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you decide to do with your life. I don’t care if you’re the next Mother Teresa. […]

Fortitude, Faith and Fellowship

Men are molded from a foundation that consists of mind, body and spirit. These are the sharpened steely tips of the spears that make up the trident of masculinity. I won’t belabor the point. But, suffice it to say, a man must continually sharpen each of these points if he is to live out his […]

The Suicide Solution Part One: Shunning the Shame of Being A Man

Modern man is suicidal. Did you know that today’s men are four times more likely to commit suicide than their female contemporaries? This begs several questions: How did we arrive at this contemptible destination? And what are the societal factors leading to males having such suicidal tendencies? Most importantly, how do we reverse this disturbing […]

When Men Answer the Call of Community Leadership

Men were created to be tribal, to exchange value with others in the communities in which they live. A tribe of men committed to this exchange in value find themselves within a contingent that is hardened to the point of being near impervious to outside threats. Every man receives what he is lacking and gives […]

Passing the Torch of Masculinity

I can think of no better way to introduce the topic of today’s posting than to quote the sobering words of Ronald Reagan: Masculinity is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our sons in the bloodstream. It must be fought for and protected. The flame of masculinity must […]

Will You Respond When Your Number is Called?

We live in a dark world. While life can be exhilarating and beautiful, it can also be tragic and hideous. Being the man and alpha leader of the family means being prepared to act when danger enters the familial sphere in which we lead. It’s part of the burden of a family. For most men […]

The Family Alpha Podcast: Decide This Day

The quality of a man’s life and the legacy he leaves behind is the cumulative consequence that results from the culmination of his decisions. It’s often lost on today’s men, but the life each of us has is precisely the life we deserve. This truth is a tough pill to swallow for some. For […]
