Michael Diamond is joined by returning guest and IgKnight Brotherhood leader Mike Patterson to explore the essence of kingship through the lens of legacy and blessing. Mike opens up about growing up without affirmation, and how that void became the spark for his leadership, service, and purpose. They break down the four pillars of kingship — sovereignty, order, blessing, and legacy — and dive deep into what it means to serve from a place of maturity, stewardship, and alignment. This is a must-listen for any man ready to step into his next chapter with integrity and intention.

Michael and Nanilea Diamond tackle a hard truth: too many men are asleep at the wheel in their relationships—and the consequences are devastating. From the metaphor of the "feather, brick, or truck" to the sobering reality of divorce and disconnection, this episode is a clarion call to every man who has delayed doing his inner work. Nanilea shares honest insight from the women she mentors, revealing how modern women—especially those embodying their queendom—are no longer willing to settle for emotionally unavailable partners. This episode is about responsibility, self-initiation, and the courage to face your blind spots before it’s too late.
