    SATHIYA SAM | How Porn Destroys Masculinity

    Every man listening to this podcast has been exposed to pornography. I remember the first time I saw a Playboy (it was a certain Baywatch actress) when I was 12-years-old. It changed my life and, not in a good way. At the time, I thought it did but all the research suggests that the sooner a young man is introduced to pornography, the more challenges with it he’ll likely face. Your story is probably not so different. My guest today, Sathiya Sam, has made a movement out of helping men overcome their pornography addictions. And, on today’s podcast, we talk about the crucial distinction between shame and guilt (and, which one you can use to effect change), why porn is considered a “supernormal stimulant,” why tracking abstinence streaks don’t work but tracking trends do, the role of legislation in combating the pornography industry, and the four most damaging factors to your health when consuming porn.  SHOW HIGHLIGHTS (00:00) Episode Intro (03:00) Breaking the Shame Cycle (08:38) Effects of Pornography on Empathy (19:51) Unlearning Pornographic Influences in Marriage (24:04) Reversing Pornography's Effects (34:27) Roots-Based Approach to Recovery (47:34) Impact of Technology on Intimacy (52:40) Fatherhood, Empathy, and Pornography Recovery (57:04) Role of Legislation in Combating Pornography (01:05:54) Recovery Resources for Porn Addiction Read about Sathiya's latest book: https://deepclean.sathiyasam.com/orderofman Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

    What’s The Deal With Men’s Mental Health? With John Delony

    Men’s mental health is an issue that is getting a lot more attention than even when I started this podcast just 9 years ago. In fact, men are falling behind in so many metrics from graduation and college attendance rates, to declining health, incarceration, and even suicide rates. But what is causing this rising trend in the demise of men’s mental, physical, and emotion health? My guest, John Delony, is here to explain some of the biggest culprits in the modern issues that plague so many men. Today, we talk about the paradox of empathy and toughness as we relate to each other and children, the importance of making “line-in-the-stand” commitments, the difference between complacency and satisfaction, why men need to work on projects together, and why “all in,” is the only way to live.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: (00:00) Episode Intro (04:15) Father-Son Hunting Adventures   (07:45) Building Emotional Resilience in Parenting   (18:59) Navigating Modern Relationships and Commitment   (28:34) Navigating Risk and Satisfaction in Life   (40:49) Finding Anchoring in a Lost Generation   (44:33) Building Brotherhood Through Shared Responsibility   (51:33) Navigating Male Mental Health Challenges   (58:25) Knowing One's Self-Worth and Masculinity   (01:05:50) The Importance of Authenticity and Courage     Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

    RICKSON GRACIE | The Art and Science of Invisible Jiu-Jitsu

    You guys have heard me talk about Jiu-Jitsu ad nauseum but what you may not have heard me talk too much about is the often-overlooked invisible form of the martial art that has taken over the world of MMA and combat sports.

I can think of no better person to share his knowledge and depth of experience than one of the toughest men in the “First Family” of Jiu-Jitsu, Rickson Gracie. Today, Rickson and I talk about managing fear, how to find a mission more important than your life, how to keep your identity secure although you may lose one element of who you are, the importance of a balanced approach to being a warrior, why base on the mats and off is so crucial, and the power of respecting and honoring your intuition.
