The Awakened Man The Awakened Man

Staring down the unforgiving path of family law, many men find themselves lost in a labyrinth of legal battles over divorce and child custody. Matt O'Connor joins me once again for a deeply moving conversation that shines a light on the all-too-common plight fathers face. Amid the turmoil, we uncover a vital lifeline—staying put in the family home during separation can be a game-changer in preserving legal rights. Plus, we venture into the complexities of the C100 form and mediation, tools that can make or break a father's quest to remain a pillar in his children's lives.

The cold statistics surrounding men's mental health and suicide are not just numbers; they're a call to action. Sharing my own brush with despair atop Waterloo Bridge, this episode serves as both a confessional and a clarion call for societal change. We tackle the stigma and urge for a champion in parliament, someone to advocate for men's rights and address the systemic biases that leave many fathers feeling marginalized. It's a heart-wrenching journey through the emotional battleground fathers endure, and a testament to the resilience it takes to emerge from the shadows.

Yet, in the face of such gravity, there's room for unexpected levity. Guy Harrison's legendary powder bombing caper offers a moment of reprieve, reminding us of the camaraderie and boldness that once punctuated our lives. This episode is a tapestry of serious discourse interwoven with nostalgia, an offering of hope and solidarity to any man navigating the treacherous waters of family law. Tune in for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is emotionally resonant, and perhaps, find a beacon to guide you through the storm.

WHY DO MEN FIND IT HARD TO GO FOR WHAT THEY WANT?
 Over CalibrationThey’ve gone for something in the past and it’s not paid off. Rather than facing that pain again. It’s “Easier”to create a narrative that they don’t want it.

Not going for things is a defence mechanism.
Body:Relationship:Business:2. They play to win, then at some point they play not to lose.
An example of this is in the beginning of their business they take shots, they will go for it as they have ‘nothing to lose’. But as we accumulate ‘perceived’ reputation we start holding back.

- We don’t take the same risks
- We get comfortable and see change as effort.
- We don’t want to lose as we see losing as bad. (The pain of defeat bears high value)

3. They have been sold an idea of success by unsuccessful people, and they’ve bought into it.
Their model for success is that in order for THEM to be successful it’s taking away from others. If they want more it means less for others.
In order for me to have MORE success in my career, it means being LESS of a Dad. Less time, less energy left over etc.

They have this archetype of a successful man being mean, arrogant, selfish, ambitious and it is what fucks them up because they are afraid of becoming that man.

4.They think it has to be justified
If you think about this, there will NEVER be a rational reason for wanting what you want (At least to another person)

It’s totally OK to want what you want.

Don’t get into rationalising it. 

Its a complete sentence.

I WANT IT. It needs no because.

5. They’ve got out of the habit/ lost their orientation to what they want because they don’t have a goal.
They’ve totally lost orientation to the top of the mountain.

And thats when fear can set in.

They’ve also lost momentum, so they need start up energy AGAIN. (which is a tiring model for energy).
Compounding model vs Start stop.

When I first met Paul Mort, he did more than just redirect my career path; he revolutionized my entire perspective on life.

Sitting down with him for this episode, we embark on a raw and deeply personal narrative that charts his transition from fitness marketing guru to a beacon of men's self-development.

Paul's brave confrontation of his own demons, including bipolar disorder and suicidal ideations, is an inspiring testament to the transformative power of vulnerability and resilience. His journey, lined with both triumphs and tribulations, challenges us to examine our own lives through the lens of unfiltered honesty.

Our discussion moves into the exhilarating realm of life's leaps of faith as I recount my own 'burn the boats' moment, leaving the comfortable shores of a stable job to start a bootcamp.

The risks were immense, but the rewards have been equally profound.

Paul and I also dissect his life-altering stint with 'Wake Up Warrior', shedding light on the surprising lessons that surface when you confront your inner turmoil head-on.

We tackle  criticism, unpacking how it can serve as both a formidable opponent and an unexpected ally in the quest for unshakeable confidence.

As the conversation draws to a close, our attention shifts towards the critical importance of men's mental health.

We emphasize how personal transformation extends its influence beyond the individual, touching the lives of families and communities. With insights gleaned from my discussions with figures like Tyson Fury and Ant Middleton, we grapple with the universal challenges men face in finding sustained purpose.

The episode concludes with a candid take on social media's dual-edged impact and the underestimated power of audiobooks in the journey of self-education. Join us for this multifaceted exploration that promises to leave you with much to ponder—and perhaps, the inspiration for your own pivot towards growth.
