"A man who seeks counsel from his emotions lives a fucked up life." — Rob Arpa

Rob Arpa is back, and this one is for any man who has ever wondered what actually happens inside a men's circle — and whether it's for him.

Nicky and Rob get into the three things a man can expect when he walks into a Sovereign Circle meeting for the first time. Content: conversations about standards, discipline, fatherhood, and the kind of topics that never come up at the golf course or over beers with the boys. Inspections: a live, structured process where a man brings a real problem to the group — not to get answers, but to get asked the hard questions he's been avoiding until he's ready to face them himself. And masculine conversation: direct, unfiltered, and completely unlike what most men have been conditioned to expect from any room they've walked into since they were boys.

Nicky also gets personal about fatherhood — what it looks like to raise sons who become world-beaters, and what it means when your boys are the ones who are too busy for you, not the other way around. Rob talks about 20 years of watching men make big changes inside circles like this — not small ones, big ones. Getting married. Going self-employed. Getting out of relationships they had no business being in. The kind of changes a man can't make alone.

They also get into nutrition, the male suicide crisis, and why $100 a month is either peanuts or the most honest conversation a man will have with himself about where his priorities actually are.
