    MIKE GLOVER | The Man You're Capable of Being is Dormant Inside of You

    Most men think preparedness is a bunker full of gear and ammo. My guest today, Mike Glover, knows better. A Green Beret, former CIA contractor, and founder of Fieldcraft Survival has spent his life teaching men that real readiness is a mindset before it's a skillset and that the hardest terrain you'll ever navigate isn't in the wilderness, it's the purgatory of your own worst chapter. In this conversation, Mike opens up about hardship, redemption, and what it took to pick himself up when the ground gave way beneath him. We get into why men today aren't weak so much as broken down, physically, hormonally, and spiritually. And, we talk about what it takes to rebuild. We talk about purpose and identity, the difference between the people who scatter and the people who'll always have your back, and why being targeted only sharpened his clarity about who he is and what he's built. This is a raw, unflinching look at accountability, manhood, and the courage to say what needs to be said. Mike doesn't hedge, and neither do we. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - Mike's public redemption story 02:23 - Why men think about giving up 05:08 - Is fatherhood enough of a purpose? 07:29 - Rendering yourself obsolete as a father 09:42 - Why mortality gives life meaning 12:35 - Surviving public controversy 15:37 - Why people judge what they don't understand 18:02 - Avoiding bitterness after betrayal 19:23 - The "Three Rows at Your Funeral" lesson 22:42 - Whose criticism actually matters 24:08 - Why criticism often reveals your own insecurities 28:36 - Stress, preparedness, and real-world emergencies 32:12 - American Contingency and government scrutiny 37:00 - The danger of putting influencers on pedestals 39:10 - Tribalism and following the crowd 40:26 - Why not everyone becomes a leader 43:08 - Natural selection and modern society 45:52 - Government investigations and censorship 51:16 - Why prepared citizens matter 55:20 - The Second Amendment and balance of power 58:41 - Why conservatives need to become more vocal 01:00:58 - Rebuilding Fieldcraft Survival 01:03:22 - Mike's mission moving forward   Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

    The Father Wound That Shapes Every Man | FRIDAY FIELD NOTES

    Most men carry a wound they rarely talk about—and it often begins with their relationship with their father. Whether your dad was absent, emotionally unavailable, overly critical, or simply unable to give you what you needed, that experience can quietly shape your identity, relationships, ambition, anger, and even the way you parent your own children. In this episode, Ryan shares his own story of growing up without a present father and explores how the "father wound" influences countless men long into adulthood. More importantly, he explains why understanding the wound isn't about making excuses—it's about taking responsibility, breaking generational cycles, and becoming the man your children need. If you've ever found yourself chasing approval, struggling to feel "enough," or determined not to repeat your father's mistakes, this conversation is for you.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 The Father Wound Most Men Never Discuss 02:36 Growing Up Without a Present Father 04:52 The Hidden Cost of Father Absence 06:40 What the Father Wound Really Is 08:54 How the Wound Shows Up in Adult Men 13:21 Understanding Isn't the Same as Blaming 14:45 Grieve It—Don't Bury It 15:52 Becoming Your Own Father 18:43 Stop Waiting for His Approval 21:02 Breaking the Generational Cycle 22:30 Forgiveness Is Not the Finish Line 24:41 Build Your Band of Brothers (Iron Council) 26:06 Final Thoughts   Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

    GEORGE from TheTinMen | Why Men Are Killing Themselves

    Every day, men are dying. Not in some abstract, far-off statistic, but in your town, in your circles, maybe in your own family. They're isolated, disconnected, and being told the very things that make them men are the things that need to be fixed. Meanwhile, the culture cheers on the idea that hating men is a sign of strength, the family courts treat fathers as optional, and any space built exclusively for men gets torn down before it can do any good. Somewhere along the way, we decided men were the problem. My guest today says that's a lie, and he's got the platform to prove it. George from The TinMen joins me to talk about why men are checking out, dropping out of therapy, and ending their own lives at staggering rates, and what it actually takes to turn that around. This isn't about coddling men or excusing them. It's about telling the truth: men aren't broken, the system around them is. We get into male friendship, the war on masculinity, the family court system, and why "man up" might be the worst advice we ever gave. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 Welcome to The Tin Men & Men's Emotional Expression 03:09 Are Men Talking—Or Are We Failing to Listen? 05:17 Why Therapy Isn't Working for Many Men 07:45 The Power of Shoulder-to-Shoulder Conversations 08:29 Grief, Brotherhood & Opening Up 11:02 Normal Responses to Difficult Experiences 14:00 Men as Individuals, Not Categories 16:53 When Talking Alone Isn't Enough 21:59 Why Society Pushes Back on Men's Issues 24:18 Boys, Education & Cultural Messaging 28:33 Building Better Men in Everyday Life 34:18 Health, Education & Structural Change 38:43 How Boys Learn Differently 43:36 Misunderstanding Boys' Behavior 46:15 Grassroots Solutions vs Government Solutions 48:24 Why Men Need Male Spaces 52:04 The Loss of Men-Only Communities 54:47 Brotherhood, Belonging & Better Outcomes 59:28 Final Thoughts & Where to Find The Tin Men   Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

    Most men never receive training for fatherhood - but that doesn't make the role any less important. In this week's Friday Field Notes, Ryan shares 7 strategies to become a better father and explains why your presence, discipline, standards, and personal growth matter more than you think.

It's about intentional fatherhood.
