#49 Embracing the human condition with Warrior Poet Tom Hirons.

Today’s guest, Tom Hirons, believes that words and stories hold the power to change the world. In this episode, he shares his journey to discovering his life's purpose, a path that began with four nights of fasting alone in the Welsh foothills. An accomplished poet with a deep appreciation for the esoteric, Tom has a unique capacity for interpreting the human condition. He imparts a world of wisdom on topics ranging from fatherhood, his creative process, and healing masculinity.

In this episode:

• The importance of connecting with and sharing your unique “kernel” - your gift to share with the world.
• Discover how co-parenting dads achieve more balance by prioritising their personal well-being.
• Hear about the masculine power held in your ancestral line and how healing generational trauma unlocks this creative force.
• Tom shares when you heal your masculinity that you live more joyfully. 
• Learn how to recognise and embrace all the parts of yourself in order to heal.
• Remember the importance of listening to your intuition to receive guidance on what’s true for you.
• Discover practical tools to tap into the wisdom of your emotions.
• Issues to be aware of if you want to master conscious non-monogamy.

The King’s Circle: A Dojo for Integrated Leaders.

“We’re magnificent, and we’re broken” - Tom Hirons.

An integrated leader recognises that we all have inner work to do. So, these new-paradigm leaders seek out people, processes, and places that support them in recognising and integrating their blind spots.

Each month, Fathers Sons Brothers host the King's Circle, a two-hour transformational leadership training experience. It’s a men-only space where visionaries gather to learn tools and frameworks that make them better communicators and more integrated leaders.

When you regularly invest in this type of training: 

• You gain access to a space where men from all over the world support and encourage you to show up at your best.
• You get clear on what you came here to do. You reconnect with your mission.
• You recognise where you’re leaking energy, and you reclaim that power to allocate towards serving your mission.
• You develop more trust in yourself, and this improvement is reflected in all your relationships. 
• You feel inspired and excited about our brave new world, as you connect deeper with the other Integrated Leaders through the King’s Circle.

All growth after puberty is optional, and the men who attend our circle have growth mindsets like yours. 

We support each other in becoming the new paradigm of courageous leaders we've been waiting for.
