The Trident of Masculinity
Authentic masculine expression comes from the harmonization of the three different ‘selves‘ which exist inside each man. These three aspects which comprise every man are: Physical Self Mental Self Spiritual Self Like any tripod these legs are all independent of one another yet are entirely dependent on the supporting strength the other two provide. This […]

First I have to give credit where credit is due, my wife came up with the term mentouring. While I wouldn’t say that the speakers themselves are “touring” to provide their speeches, the event itself is literally touring the globe and speakers are coming from across the nation. The 21 Convention is an international convention […]

“Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.” –Heraclitus Everyone thinks they’re the man who will […]

How long it takes for you to unplug is directly related to how long it takes for you to accept reality for what it is, whether you’ve fully committed to the process, and how long it takes you to understand that nothing will be given, all must be earned. Reality The reality of the situation is that you’ve […]

To think you can ignore a problem until it resolves itself is so backwards and illogical that if I hadn’t witnessed it firsthand time and again, I’d never believe people actually behaved like this. Saying you love someone more than anything yet you’re unable to directly confront them on an issue should show you that you do not […]

Gentlemen, once you’ve  recognized the need to destroy The Void in your heart and eradicate the The Shame from your mind by reaching out to your brethren you can then experience something which has eluded your grasp for far too long, a sense of pride. Masculinity has been under attack for so long that most men now default […]
Continue reading...The Shame
I was recently asked how a guy who was ashamed to show his body was supposed to start hitting the gym. This guy was a father, husband, and man who truly wanted to reclaim his masculine ‘self’ yet was too embarrassed and ashamed to take that first step out into the world. Like Quasimodo who was […]

Are you a man that is living a lifestyle which somehow doesn’t feel quite right? Do you feel as though there is this void, this sense of missed satisfaction and incomplete daily regret? If you fall into this category, understand that you aren’t alone. The sense of missing something is shared by thousands, if not millions of men out there. […]

In the first edition of this series I chose General Mattis (Read it here)Â as the best masculine role model out there. If you know anything of the man then you’re completely aware that he embodies all of the traits an authentically masculine man should display. In this post and from here on out I’m going […]

“Excuses are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink.†This is something I’d like you to recognize and really wrap your mind around. Everyone makes an excuse as to why they can’t do the things they need to do. Only a very select few out there are making excuses to do the things […]
