    408. The Five Pillars of Effective Leadership

    There seems to be a lack of high-quality leadership in the world today. We are no longer emphasizing training; instead, the focus is centered around popularity, personality tests, and book smarts. While intelligence is important, having applicable experiences and being in the trenches are even more vital.
    Today, Johnny focuses on leadership, specifically the five pillars of effective leadership. Becoming a high-quality leader means being able to make decisions, being adaptable, communicating clearly, having integrity, and taking ownership. Focusing on these five pillars will ensure that you are a strong and effective leader for your family and your job.
    Today on The Art of Masculinity:Why personality tests for leadership failThe importance of decision-making for high-quality leadersDebunking servant leadership and why it doesn’t really existBeing adaptable so you can thrive in chaotic environmentsEffective communication sets leaders apartIntegrity means you’re willing to step into the trenchesOwnership and decision making in leadership

    407. Continuing a Legacy with Beau L'Amour

    Not only has Beau L’Amour learned a lot from his father, author Louis L’Amour, but he’s joined Johnny to share some of those lessons about following your passion and being tenacious, especially in an ever-evolving industry. Beau also gives us Johnny and listeners some great insight into some history involving the publishing and film industries. He has done a lot in his life and he continues to follow his creative passions.
    Beau L'Amour is a writer and entertainment industry jack-of-all-trades. He is the son of best-selling novelist Louis L'Amour and has managed his father's literary estate since 1988. Striving to maintain that legacy, he has done editorial work, revised unfinished manuscripts, managed a literary magazine and an audio/radio drama series, done art direction, been a comic book writer and producer, and become an expert in marketing. In the years since his father passed away, L'Amour has helped sell over 120 million books, and nearly 5 million audio programs and placed several books of short stories (out of 16 posthumous collections) on the Best Seller lists.

    406. Creating Alignment and Authenticity

    In life, the decisions we make can either propel us forward or hold us back. Optimal decision-making hinges on alignment with our true selves and values. By regularly assessing and refining our traits and beliefs, we establish a solid foundation for personal growth and fulfillment. This process isn’t static; it requires periodic reevaluation to adapt since our identity is constantly evolving. When you understand what can happen when you are in constant misalignment, you can empower yourself to identify and address key indicators early on. Listen in as Johnny talks about the value of reevaluation and how recalibrating your values and traits can lead you to find your true masculine identity.

    If you’re ready to put in the work to become successful and to find your masculine identity, click on this link for our Step Into the Man You Want to Become workshop which starts on June 24th.

    405. Step Into the Man You Want to Become - Your Journey

    This is the fourth and final episode of our 4-part series called, “Step Into the Man You Want to Become” featuring Frank Paul Vignola. In this episode we dive into Your Journey, the fourth pillar to stepping into a man that is authentic and intentional. Johnny and Frank explore the individual journey we all embark on, delving into what it means to actively choose our own paths as men.

    Frank’s early life was plagued with battles - bullying, expulsions, overdoses, and then a 4-year string of incarcerations that almost killed him. Overcoming those challenges gifted him with a determination to develop a formula to help men summon their inner superheroes. In 2023, he released the autobiographical how-to guide for men, "Crafting Masculinity." After 10+ years as a coach for men, he has helped hundreds of men overcome their self-limiting beliefs and become men they’re proud of. If you want to know more about Frank, check out his website or his Instagram (@vignolagram).

    403. Step Into the Man You Want to Become - Courage

    This is the second episode of our 4-part series, “Step Into The Man You Want to Become” featuring Frank Paul Vignola. In this episode, we delve deep into the concept of courage, the second foundational pillar on the journey to becoming an authentic and intentional man. Join Johnny and Frank as they tackle the common misconception surrounding courage, emphasizing that it's not about the absence of fear, but rather, facing it head-on.

    Frank’s early life was plagued with battles - bullying, expulsions, overdoses, and then a 4-year string of incarcerations that almost killed him. Overcoming those challenges gifted him with a determination to develop a formula to help men summon their inner superheroes. In 2023, he released the autobiographical how-to guide for men, "Crafting Masculinity." After 10+ years as a coach for men, he has helped hundreds of men overcome their self-limiting beliefs and become a man they’re proud of.

Number Two. ,

Hmmm

Pretty sure I disagree with you about not being as vulnerable with wife and age appropriate kids. Yea the details of our struggles and weaknesses like daily lust checkins should be for our men but we can’t be hidden to our wives either. I believe that a man can and should be rigorously honest about his pains, struggles and weaknesses with his wife just like he is with his men. Just like how our men respect us more so will our ladies. It won’t make them feel like we’re less man or that they need to step into the masculine rather it will give them security to know we are real and we are honestly dealing with our stuff. Still giving a 5 star bc you are spot on helping men.
