We've been taught to behave, to fit in, to follow the rules, but DreamMasons reject conventional thought. Dream Masons are rebels. They take a chisel to the marble which is typical of traditional life. They carve out brilliance and broadcast it to the world. Join me for another chapter as we unmask convention, embrace the rebel within us, and more deeply explore the complex and agitated edges of our existence. A DreamMason®️ is a person who is intentional, committed, and realizes it is going to take a plan, choice, discipline, and faith to build their dreams so they can live the life they want.
This Podcast is about learning, experiencing, and exploring the journey of leaders, creators, athletes, and innovators who are not afraid to unleash their inner Dream Mason! Welcome to The Dream Mason Podcast. I am Alex Terranova, and You are a DreamMason Because Your Dreams Don’t Build Themselves.
New Full Episodes Weekly with regular bonus episodes and content.
Alex Terranova is a DreamMason and a Recovering Asshole... He's a Performance and Success Alchemist and one of the world's top Business & Life coaches.

What the Hell is Brotherhood?
Men, we can have it all!
Our lives can be dynamic and expansive, and we can simultaneously succeed in opposite areas of life.
When we unleash ourselves from the cultural conditioning that says men have to be this or that. When we exit the boxes that force us to identify what kind of men we are, we get to choose how we want to be on our terms.
And cultivating relationships like this requires something. They demand you open your mind and heart to Brotherhood and community and identify your truth and desires.
I am so grateful to the men that support me all the way. My brothers, my community!
If you had a dynamic Brotherhood like this supporting you, your relationships, and your goals, what would be possible?
Opportunities to work with Alex, for you or the men in your lives!

This is a no-brainer, super low commitment way for any growth-minded men to dip their toe in (for just $50/month). Seriously, join us or get your partners, friends, brothers, fathers, etc. in here!!

He's Just Not That Into Himself - The Apathetic Man & Why He Is Stuck
While this guy knows he’s not reaching his potential, he’s found a way to be apathetic about it. While he’s distracted, not focused, and not happy, he’s not depressed, so it’s not that bad. He might be a little annoyed, frustrated, or resigned about how things are going at work or home, but he hasn’t gotten fired, his partner hasn’t left, and there is food on the table, so it’s okay.
He’s living just waiting. He’s in this holding pattern of comfort. Anything that could improve his life, he has a reason it can’t be a priority, he’s not interested in it, or it isn’t that important. Part of him is clinging to keeping things the same because it’s comfortable. A little piece of him is curious about what might be possible if something were to shift, but he’s only willing to entertain the idea of it. Choosing it, stepping into it, it will have to wait.
These men are the men who are surprised when their wives suddenly leave. They are the men who don’t get why their kids have no relationship with them. These men are the ones who are surprised when they receive a scary health diagnosis and don’t know what to do. These men are confused when they get passed over for another promotion or laid off. These men don’t want things to change and don’t believe they can have what they want. Or they think that if they were to go after what they wanted, the price would be too much and might destroy what they already have. -
