Basecamp for Men E200: A Basecamp Retrospective

E200: A Basecamp Retrospective

 

E200 Introduction

Today’s show is E200 and a bit of a landmark episode for me. When I was originally chosen to host a show for men way back in early 2019, I had no idea I would still be doing this well into our fifth season. It goes to show you how mysterious the Divine is and how mysterious our own Hero’s Journeys are if we surrender to higher, more powerful currents than our own.

As I was fumbling my way through season one, I heard a small, clear voice. One I have come to recognize as my Higher Self or the Divine within me. Or God whispering to me. It simply said “Do 200 high quality episodes. That is your task.” I accepted.

When I shared this story with my teenage son Lucas, he asked me “what are going to do after EP 200?”. I said “Do episode #201, of course!”I love doing this and I have found this to be a medium of creativity that really suits my particular creative strengths and it aligns with my mission to assist humanity.

As I was reflecting back on the first five seasons, a few things jumped out at me. First, BFM started out as strictly a personal development show for men. This was tapping into my own experience as the author of a humble little book for men and the fact that I had long led small men‘s groups throughout my time as a man. Conversations with men and leading men was something that came natural to me.

But as we moved moved through season one and beyond, my love of myth, mysticism, and transcendence began to be expressed in more and more episodes. I started to recognize God’s hand in my choice of guests and topics. I began to deeply understand that I was simply a vehicle and it was the work of God that was asking to write the episodes speak to the people…..enjoy the look back and thank you listeners!

 

 

Basecamp for Men E199: The Lone Wolf Syndrome

E199: The Lone Wolf Syndrome w Special Guest Tony Endelman

 

E199 Introduction

Today‘s episode is a bit of a throwback episode for us. In a good way. As many of you know, Basecamp for Men was conceived and started as a resource show for men’s personal development. The power of men‘s groups and a positive, authentic masculinity was the medicine I was called to bring forth from all of my years leading and participating in men‘s groups. It has defined my life and I am full of gratitude for the men I have followed and led in this work.

My friend Dave recently sent me a new book about Dr. Robert Glover. Dr. Glover is the author of the classic men’s book No More Mr. Nice Guy. I dug in and recognized that the authors and I had similar stories and wounds but with different paths up the mountain so to speak.

Men have always been more powerfully who they are when they can speak authentically with other men. This is a rare thing, as you will hear in this episode.

I think all men carry this sort of lone wolf syndrome. We think we can do the work, grow ourselves up into the men we want to be, heal our childhood traumas (that we all have), and become strong, confident partners and fathers. And do all of this with absolutely no support! It is delusional.

As the Mankind Project has said over and over again, it takes a tribe of men to grow men. For only other men know intimately the shame, hurt, violence, and shadow that are hidden deep inside of a man‘s heart and soul. The astoundingly wonderful secret for men: the more you can speak from your depths without flinching, the more light that can come into your heart and your life.

And men are great at hiding. We hide our hurt and our addictions and our hopes and fears. We hide our shame and our heartbrokenness and feelings of inadequacy. Fuck we try and hide it all because we think that if you knew who I really am and how I really felt (especially when I feel small) you will desert me. So we just go it alone. Are you following me?

Today’s conversation is hopefully like sitting in a good men’s group. As my guest, himself a veteran of these emotionally honest expressions, brings the truth about what it means to be a man. I hope you see yourself in our sharing. Enjoy the interview.

E199 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed our conversation as much as I did. Love Tony and his message for men. And go get a copy of the excellent new men’s book The Big Stick where Tony distills Dr. Glover‘s wisdom down into what you need to know as a man. Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E198: The Spirit of Defiance

E198: The Spirit of Defiance with Special Guest Marja West

 

E198 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. Today we have a few tidbits and a fiery interview that I really enjoyed being a part of .

You can see the new variant marching onto the scene, can’t you? It’s so boring and predictable , isn‘t it. How fucking dumb do they think we are? Getting it all ready for 2024, yawn.

Here’s a meme from David Wolfe shares a BREAKING story. A new and more lethal OMICRON variant has been detected. It’s called BS 24-7. It attacks the truth and insults your intelligence. Aho.

I have a few questions for you. How will you navigate Round 2? Did you learn anything from the last round? Did you like complying and obeying orders from tyrants who hate humanity and freedom? How did that feel? I am asking because I don‘t know as I, my family, and a few close friends were on the other side. I have learned a ton the past two or three years but I plan on making many of the same choices in Round 2 of another plandemic. I won’t be doing masks or jabs or boosters or whatever else the Globalists have in mind for us. I’m not interested in any of that and I don‘t really care what you think of me. I stay out of your business, trusting you will make the best choices for you and your family.

And a great way to tee this interview up is with a Walt Whitman quote and a reaction by Bitcoiner Jeff Swann.

Walt Whitman says “There is no week nor day nor hour when tyranny may not enter upon this country. If the people lose their roughness and spirit of defiance.” In which Jeff responds with a simple “Walt Whitman knew the fucking snowflakes would ruin the country.” Aho. This gets us in the mood, so to speak.

Buckle your seatbelts as I sit around the fire riffing with my new friend. The fiery, truthful, enchanting Marja West. Enjoy the ride.

E198 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I enjoyed being in it! Marja is a true spiritual warrior and she wears it all on her sleeve. I love it.

Basecamp for Men E197: Basecamp Classics

E197: Basecamp Classics with Special Guest Dr. Wendy Maltz

 

E197 Introduction

Today we have a check in and then a Basecamp Classic from all the way back in in Season One. One of my best episodes from that season, I think.It seems more and more people are taking their awareness to the next level. Hopefully, you are having this experience as well.

There seems to be a particular skill set that is needed for us right now. Each one of us, to the best of his or her ability, needs to both hold onto their core principles WHILE AT THE SAME TIME let go of inputs that are more noise than signal. You following me? Principles that align with humanity, God, and the human heart, are signal.

Look for the narratives that uplift our tribe, whether that is a voice that awakens others or a myth that carries transformative information or just a person that is speaking out after realizing they are being lied on a non-stop basis and starts to put together the narrative landscape with some healthier material. We are exposed to much more noise than signal and the ability to discern the difference can the x factor that keeps you and your loved ones safe and sane.

There is plenty of shadow work to be done for all of us. For sure, the left will need to let go of their reflexive hatred of Donald Trump. Aren’t you all TIRED of talking about him nonstop? Do you not see how absurd this is? Every time you indict him, his poll numbers jump again. A classic “what you resist, persists” dynamic.

The right will need to need to let go of their summary dismissal of half the population. You know, “the normies, the commies, these idiots, the libtards, etc etc”. It‘s true, as a Libertarian, I see many hysterical memes at the expense of the left. Like, on a daily basis. But there is a shadow there for me. Perhaps a wound that my longtime friends and colleagues so quickly and easily abandoned me when I found myself resonating with freedom and liberty and a strong nation.

And we are starting to see the roll out of another wave of the pandemic, aren’t we?Colleges and universities have started to implement another mask mandate. The bluest states will try again to lead the charge. What will you do this time Basecamper? Comply, “trust the science” and do what you are told? We they fool you again on that one?

If you stand in your power and your sovereignty, for some of you this will be round 1 as maybe you went along with everything last time. This will be round 2 for my family and many of my friends. I am not looking forward to it but I was not about to hand over my liberties to the Globalist looking to ratchet up their control.

There will certainly be pressure to conform to their narrative. There always is. If you went along last time and felt a little duped (how could you NOT). I can assure you, there are many of us standing in principles and we will welcome you with open arms. It’s just better over here.

Today’s Basecamp Classic is from all the way back to season one EP 14 with Dr. Wendy Maltz. It is a topic that is still so relevant for men. Enjoy the episode.
