    Understanding the Two Hidden Sides of Men: The Bully vs. The Coward

    In this solo episode, host Michael Diamond takes listeners deep into the Shadow Warrior archetype, the most destructive of the four masculine archetypes. Exploring both poles—the bully fueled by rage, control, and workaholism, and the coward marked by avoidance, passivity, and self-betrayal—Michael challenges men to reflect on where these patterns show up in their lives. Through raw prompts and powerful reframes, he reveals how intensity is often used to avoid intimacy, how control shrinks freedom, and why betraying one’s truth erodes personal power. By confronting these shadows and stepping into the Sacred Warrior, men can transform rage into strength, control into discipline, and avoidance into authentic leadership.

    How to Live as a Provider, Protector, and Procreator

    Dr. Michael Diamond provides a guide for men to embody the modern-day warrior archetype. He challenges the common cultural view of the warrior as "toxic" or "devoid of feeling," asserting that the modern warrior is, in fact, fully connected to his love. The episode outlines four essential pillars that men must master to show up for themselves, their families, and their businesses. These pillars consist of having a transpersonal commitment, practicing discipline and accountability, understanding the warrior's relationship to other archetypes, and embodying the core roles of the warrior. The episode is framed with a sense of urgency, referencing the crisis of men taking their own lives and leaving behind "trails of pain". Dr. Diamond concludes that a man's "number one job... is to be alive" and that by asking better questions, men can enter a state of growth and show up more fully in their lives.

    Deepen Desire, Cultivate Commitment: A Man’s Journey to Sacred Union

    In this solo episode, Dr. Michael Diamond unpacks two of the most powerful teachings from the recent Lover Immersion: desire and commitment. He explores how true masculine strength is rooted not in suppressing emotions but in aligning with deeper, God-given desires and devoting fully to sacred commitments — especially in relationships. Through personal stories, spiritual insight, and even the comeback tale of cycling legend Greg LeMond, Michael shows how living with desire and honoring commitment can transform love, family, business, and legacy. This is a call for men to slow down, reclaim authenticity, and embody the kingly presence that fuels fulfillment in every area of life Links And Resources: ALIVE Quantum Chiropractic Care Wild Rose MembershipIgKnight the KingBook a Call with Dr. Michael DiamondIgKnight the King on FacebookDr. Michael Diamond on InstagramDr. NaniLea Diamond on Instagram Thanks so much for joining us this week.

    Goggins Mindset: Destroy Comfort, IgKnight the King in You

    Dr. Michael Diamond breaks down why comfort is the true enemy for men seeking growth, presence, and purpose. Drawing inspiration from David Goggins’ relentless mindset, Michael exposes how high-achieving men plateau when they settle for “good enough” and slip into what he calls the Groundhog Day trap — living the same day on repeat while their soul goes numb. He challenges you to confront the poison of energy neutrality, reclaim the Lover archetype’s vitality, and step back into the discomfort that fuels the Warrior’s edge. If you’re ready to destroy complacency and ignite your masculine power, this wake-up call will shake you awake. Chapters: 00:00:00 – Stuck in the Loop?
