    2026/01/14
    "People in general, young people need purpose. They need a vision." Building a trades business teaches discipline, work ethic, and responsibility. Foundational elements for a man. But there's an opportunity that can be built on this experience. Mastery in the trades isn't just about doing the work well; it's about understanding systems, and recognizing where value is created beyond the job itself. Once a man has his 10,000 hours, his perspective changes. His role shifts from worker to authority. Michael Cappa is a young trades entrepreneur who's building a successful painting business and is now stepping into mentorship, speaking, and industry leadership. His focus is helping tradespeople and young men use skilled work as a vehicle for growth, influence, and long-term impact.

  • EP230: Eric Axelrod - Why Successful Men Are Part Of A Brotherhood
    2026/01/07
    "When something real comes up in your life, who do you talk to about it?" Men don't lose their edge because they stop trying—they lose it because they try to do everything alone. Brotherhood creates a space where men are forced to see themselves clearly, confront patterns that no longer serve them, and stay anchored to purpose when life gets unstable. Growth doesn't happen in isolation. It happens when men are challenged, reflected, and held to a higher standard by other men who care enough to tell the truth. Eric Axelrod talks about his experience with men's work. How men's circles expose blind spots around anger, listening, leadership, and emotional discipline. Brotherhood isn't about advice—it's about being asked the questions that lead you to the answers you need, accountability, and seeing yourself in other men's trials and triumphs. Professionally, Eric is the founder of Pinnacle Search Professionals, a recruiting firm for the Regulated Industry. He built his company around a simple principle: depth beats breadth. By working within a clear niche and only taking on searches he knows can be filled well, Eric emphasizes discipline, clarity, and follow-through—values that mirror his approach to leadership and men's work. He's deeply involved in men's initiation work and leadership development, helping preserve and carry forward transformational men's training. His focus is on building strong masculine communities where men develop clarity, emotional control, purpose, and resilience—skills that compound over time and impact families, businesses, and future generations.

  • EP229: Eric Edmeades - The Courage Of Your Convictions
    2025/12/31
    "Men have a very tricky responsibility and they have to walk down this very narrow line." Living with conviction means standing firm when the cost is real—socially, financially, and emotionally. It requires clarity about what matters, a willingness to tolerate discomfort, and the discipline to speak honestly even when silence would be safer. When men lose the courage to say what they believe, the consequences ripple outward—into families, culture, and the next generation. Eric Edmeades understands the personal price of telling the truth, from navigating family courts to challenging cultural narratives. His insights touch on free speech, fatherhood, responsibility, and the quiet pressure many men feel to self-censor. The conversation moves through politics, culture, health, and masculinity, always returning to the same question: what happens when good men stop standing their ground? Eric is a globally recognized teacher, entrepreneur, and founder of multiple education and wellness companies, including WildFit. Known for blending evolutionary thinking with modern leadership, he challenges people to think independently, act responsibly, and live with integrity—even when doing so comes at a cost.

  • EP228: Arpa & Billou - How to Grow A Men's Organization
    2025/12/24
    "Organizations like ours attract people to them when they have standards. Men see an opportunity for themselves to develop and get better and grow." A strong men's organization, the kind that truly serves men, grows by enforcing a high standard. This creates an environment where men are challenged to rise and attracts the men who are ready to do just that. Invite the right men in, set clear standards, and be willing to remove those who refuse to show up, engage, or improve. When these standards are clear and unwavering, the culture is strong and builds momentum. This is another Arpa & Billou episode. They revisit how Sovereign Man shifted its context to upgrade the quality of the group, attracting more committed members. Arpa explains how they created a culture of cohesion and trust and ultimately attracted more men who wanted leadership development, brotherhood, and real-world results. Men prepared to do the hard work of looking inside themselves and standing up for their fellow man. Rob Arpa is a senior council member of Sovereign Man. He's a husband, father and owner/operator of a 7 figure business.

  • EP227: Rene Sonneveld - Why Men Need Other Men In Their Lives
    2025/12/17
    "The night before battle, warriors would check each other for wounds. That's what a good men's group does." Men aren't designed to carry everything alone. Strength isn't built in isolation—it's forged through loyalty, shared struggle, and honest reflection. When men try to solve life entirely in their own heads, pressure compounds. Expectations rise, purpose blurs, and silence becomes dangerous. Brotherhood isn't a luxury; it's a stabilizing force that keeps a man grounded, accountable, and connected to who he really is. Throughout this conversation, the importance of male circles becomes unmistakable. Men need other men who can tell them the truth, challenge their blind spots, and hold space when life hits hard. Success—financial or otherwise—doesn't translate into wisdom everywhere else. Without peers who understand the internal weight men carry, even the most accomplished lives can quietly unravel. Rene Sonneveld is a family enterprise advisor, leadership coach, and legacy specialist who works with high-performing families and business owners around the world. His work focuses on identity, trust, belonging, and the unseen dynamics that determine whether families—and the men within them—thrive across generations.

  • EP226: George Rivera & Michael Santonato - How To Buy Your Time Back
    2025/12/10
    "I just want to focus on what I love doing, what lights me up, what brings me joy." A man who wants his freedom back must first learn where his time is leaking. Most entrepreneurs stay overwhelmed because they confuse being busy with being effective. This episode leans into the principles behind reclaiming time—cutting low-value noise, raising the value of your hours, and deliberately structuring life so your business stops owning you. George Rivera and Michael Santonato explore what it really means to shift from "doing everything" to doing only what moves the needle. George walks through the mindset of eliminating, automating, and delegating, while Michael reveals the tension between his mission and the low-value tasks holding him back. Together, they illustrate how buying back time isn't theoretical—it's tactical, measurable, and deeply tied to how a man shows up for his family, his money, and his purpose. George is a 30-year entrepreneur responsible for more than $400 million in sales, now devoted to helping men escape the trap of being cash-rich but time-poor. Michael is a financial educator and advisor focused on helping people become financially indestructible. Both bring lived experience, honesty, and practical strategies for reclaiming your time and redirecting it toward what matters most.

    2025/12/06

  • EP224: Justin Montgomery - Addicted To Knowledge
    2025/11/26

    "Build a business that works for you instead of you building a business that you have to work for."

    A man can choose to become who he wants to become, not who his environment programs him to be. Ambition, discipline, and relentless learning can transform a man's trajectory. Developing strength isn't just physical or financial; it's the ability to outgrow the limits of your childhood, elevate your standards, and build a future that reflects who you intend to be.

    Justin Montgomery began with every disadvantage but refused to inherit the mindset around him. He leaned into knowledge, skill-building, and the courage to reinvent himself repeatedly—from nursing to entrepreneurship to a multimillion-dollar exit. His story reveals how men can build careers that work for them, not the other way around, and why mastery, mentorship, and niching down are essential for power and prosperity.

    Justin is a nurse practitioner turned entrepreneur who scaled a professional education business into an eight-figure exit by age 39. Today, Justin mentors professionals at ProCourseStart.com, helping them build scalable, niche online course businesses that produce wealth and freedom.
