Today’s show is about helping men live, love, and lead from their masculine core. And if you’re unsure what that even means, I can promise the topics we cover will make you rethink your relationship and give you some resources to show up for your spouse in a much more powerful, grounded, and directive way.  We dig into topics like relational masculinity, childhood wounds, dark sexual energy (this may surprise you, btw,) and finally ending with one of the most powerful questions you can ask your spouse to save or strengthen your relationship.  A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…  04:20 Quit playing the victim, take responsibility 05:15 The value of a strong brotherhood 08:06 The Masculine Blueprint  10:43 Dark sexual energy/conquering “nice guy” tendencies 15:57 The art of embodiment for men 21:46 Building your masculine core 28:15 Reacting to triggers & navigating childhood wounds 30:23 Be the alpha, not the alpha-jerk 33:52 Relational masculinity       35:09 The blame dynamic  45:34 “Tell me all the ways I hurt you” Get the Full Show Notes Want access to the full show notes, including links to all resources mentioned during today's conversation?

Join our next online event, built just for kickass dads who know there’s more to learn. FrontRowDads.com/summit  FRD is solving a huge problem for dads. Our culture has turned “Dad” into a joke. Go ahead, google Dad and you’ll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it’s a Homer Simpson mentality, and it’s BS.   Our community is built for solid men. Men with wisdom, who are wise enough to know there’s more to learn.  It’s rare to find successful businessmen who choose to put family first.  In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values) If you’re reading this, you want to grow.  Podcasts are great, but guys… when you’re ready to stop just listening to content, and want to JOIN the conversations – the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.   One more thing…  Has this podcast helped you?
