Basecamp for Men E164: Season 4 Finale

E164: Season 4 Finale

 

E164 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. We have come to the end of season four. Today will be the last episode of 2022. We will start back up in early January of 2023. For today, I have a Basecamp Classic.

But before we get to that, I wanted to announce that we now have categories for all of the episodes. This has been a project I was meaning to get to for quite some time and I really wanted to have all episodes categorized before we went on break, so you could browse and click on some episodes that are in a category that you are particularly interested in.

The categories are as follows: Men and Shadow Work, Our Hero’s Journey, Mythic Viewpoints, The Walkaways, Firestarters Tony Rezac Solo EPs, Red Pills and the Great Awakening, The Freedom Chronicles, Bitcoin and Our Future, A Walk on the Wild Side, Tony’s Favorites and Misc.

Hopefully this will help you and future listeners find the episodes that most assist you on your Hero’s Journey.

Today’s epiosode is a Basecamp Classic. EP 60 Living a Mythic Life with my friend and mentor Jon Wilson.

And Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all have a joyous Holiday season and find just the right balance of friends, family, cheer, and rest and renewal. Thank you Basecampers and I will see you all around the fire after the first of the year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E163: Truth with Compassion

E163: Truth with Compassion with Special Guest

Roy Holman

 

E163 Introduction

Hello Basecampers. We are winding down season number four but today will be the second to the last instead of the last episode of season four. I am working on a project with Corey (my website guy) to categorize all the episodes so that you and future listeners can easily find what types of episodes they are looking for. So next week will likely be a combination of just me and perhaps a short Basecamp Classic, depending on my creative output.

Today’s episode is a good one I think with my good friend Roy Holman. Roy and I have had similar walkaway journeys. I count him as a trusted friend and fellow truth warrior. When you take this Hero’s Journey and let go of so many ideas and people (like Roy and I and others have) that were part of your earlier chapters, you bring a deep appreciation and gratitude to your newfound friends and travel-companions.

Being singled out as domestic terrorists and a blight to society for standing for personal freedom tends to bond people who are excommunicated from the herd. As you all know by now, I have a deep respect for the brave men and women who stand for truth and freedom. Thank you Basecampers and enjoy today’s episode.

Basecamp for Men E161: Pandemic Amnesty?

E161: Pandemic Amnesty?

 

E161 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, today is a short-format Firestarter for your enjoyment.

I know liberals are upset at Elon Musk for taking over Twitter. But he will restore free speech to a very important platform. I was kicked off Twitter for questioning the safety of the experimental MRNa shots. I had on a doctor that did not like what she was seeing and I asked her some questions. That alone got me booted and all my followers erased. The message from Twitter was loud and clear: conform to our mono-narrative or be erased.

Today my unwavering stance on informed consent and medical freedom of choice has aged quite well, hasn’t it?. I know a lot of people. Most took the vaccine or some of them anyways. I also know a lot of people who did not take the MRNa shot. Here is what I have to say about that.

Of all the people that refused all of the Covid shots and risked job, gave up access to travel and restaurants and medical care, of all of those people who were ostrasized by friends, family, and society (and I am one of them) not one single one, NOT ONE, has a regret for not taking them. Think about that for a second. Not one has even a sliver of regret for standing in their truth, speaking out, and being blacklisted damn near everyone. These people are warriors that stood for freedom and their truth. I salute all of you and I am proud to stand alongside you.

 

Basecamp for Men E160: The Path of Humility

E160: The Path of Humility w Special Guest

Michael Knight

 

E160 Introduction

Humility. Being humble. This is not a characteristic that comes natural for us in the West, is it? We are encouraged at a young age to not only have a healthy ego but to strive to be special, to be “the Man” in whatever endeavors you seek to make your mark. Be the smartest, the best, be special, be famous, blah blah blah.

We can see this lack of humility all over the place. Especially wherever there is “status”. In corporate business, with lawyers and doctors, with celebrities, with our athletes, and within ourselves. It is not something that many of us were taught, or so it seems. Humbleness isn’t flashy is it? So why cultivate it?

Yet something new is emerging as my guest today so eloquently expresses. That the humble path is the earthy and soulful path. That it has an elegance and a sort of magic to it.

I remember reading about the world famous New Zealand rugby team the All-Blacks. They are the greatest rugby team in world. Legendary. What do they teach and lead with? You guessed it, humility. The author of a book about the All-Blacks went to their training facility to interview their most well-known and most beloved players and found them happily sweeping out the locker room. Can you imagine seeing Michael Jordan or Kobe or Aaron Rogers or Aaron Judge sweeping up the garbage? Neither can I.

Yet, this humbleness permeates much of the male culture in Polynesia. The All-Blacks have many of the indigenous Maori and this emphasis on service comes from them. I have noticed this same, wonderful characteristic in many of the Polynesian men I have met. A gentle nature. A humility. A willingness to serve the tribe in whatever way is needed in the moment.

There is an invitation here for growth. For you and I to surrender to the process of letting go: of old identities and ways of being, of our arrogance, of old behaviors and ways of thinking and feeling that no longer serve us. The invitation is to travel lighter my friend. And right-sizing the ego and embracing the humble path may just be the key. My guest today is a friend and a man who exemplifies what I am talking about. Let’s go sit around the fire with him.

Michael Knight Bio-

My guest today is Michael Knight. Michael is a friend, former professional basketball player, a mentor/trainer and entrepreneur. Here is my interview with Michael Knight.

E160 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed our time with Michael Knight. He is part of a new generation of athletes that carry a strong spiritual vibe about them. These athletes express some deep wisdom about who we are and that, sometimes when we focus on ALL of us getting better, each individual finds his or her unique Hero’s Journey in life. All of that resonates here.

Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.
