Every life has a story people can see. I'm interested in the story underneath. Beneath The Story is a podcast about the experiences that shape us long before we understand what they mean. Through conversations with athletes, entrepreneurs, artists, leaders, and other thoughtful people, we look back on the moments that changed them, what surprised them, and what only became clear with time. Not just what happened. What changed because it happened.

    EP 01 with Traver Boehm

    Traver Boehm is the author of the books Today I Rise, Man UNcivilized and 28 Days In Darkness. He’s a two-time TEDx speaker, men’s coach, and the founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement. He’s helped men all over the world to become UNcivilized as they wake up to the power of their hearts, the brilliance of their bodies, and the wisdom of their souls so they can blaze their own path by uniquely blending both the primal and the divine within them. Most recently, Traver completed an extraordinary 49-day dark retreat and released his latest book chronicling his first such journey, 28 Days In Darkness. He is dedicated to doing his part to help end the suffering in men, and the suffering caused by men, by guiding them through their own journey into an actualized version of masculinity. Summary Of course, I wanted to know what happens to a person in 49 days without light. What comes up when so much of the outside world disappears. But I was just as interested in what happened when he came back out. We talk about what Traver encountered in the darkness, the fears and old pain that surfaced, and what the experience showed him about identity, relationships, and our need for one another. We also get into the ache we so often try to get rid of, what happens when the person we’ve known ourselves to be starts to fall away, and learning to live without needing to know exactly what comes next. Here’s my conversation with Traver Boehm.
