Basecamp for Men E279: Basecamp Classic

E279: Basecamp Classic

 

E279 Introduction

Well with Memorial Day weekend upon us, I had to set aside my pen, paper (and microphone) for a few days and it created a bit of a space in my production flow. So today is a Basecamp Classic (a rerun of a former top shelf episode).

I choose an episode from Season 3 with Hunter Toran titled The Path of Initiation. We seem to all be going through initiations and new rites of passages lately. Children are suddenly graduating from high school or college. Gen Xers are suddenly talking about retirement. Our Baby Boomer parents are aging and entering new chapters that may require their loved ones to take on more responsibility and decision making for the family.

I can see how much my own 18 y.o. son, ready to graduate from hs in a few days, is resisting his own rite of passage. Much like we all tend to resist our next chapters. Adulthood may not look so inviting to his young mind. And why would it? Each chapter of our Hero‘s Journey is filled with fear and uncertainty and loss. Sure, there is great promise in the new chapters. But it would be a lie to say that rites of passages are easy. They are not.

When we complete one phase, the new one often looks terrifying. Who will we be? Who will I travel with? Will my loved ones come with me or not? What am I looking for in my life right now? Where is my Soul longing to take me?

There are always big existential questions that confront us in initiations and rites of passage. That is the Soul’s way. The best a man or woman can do? Feel the kaleidoscope of emotions. Especially the tender feelings, the vulnerabilities for that is what gives the Soul (that inner divinity) space to communicate and properly navigate the Journey of the Soul.

Thanks for listening and enjoy this classic episode from Season three.

Basecamp for Men E268: Wisdom and Clear Seeing

E268: Wisdom and Clear Seeing w Special Guest Joel Rafidi

 

E268 Introduction

One of the central themes of this show (especially since 2020 and Covid) has been the Great Awakening of consciousness in the human tribe. Things have been accelerated on this timeline. And as much as pro-freedom, pro-American MAGA and MAHA are ready to celebrate the renewal of the American dream, we have some underlying dynamics that need to play out, are you following me?

As my guest today so eloquently expresses, much of the world feels like these are dark days, apocolypic even. It is important to keep that in mind as these epic events unfold, one after another.

It is a good time to travel LIGHTLY, meaning don’t hold too tightly to preconceived notions of right and wrong, us and them. Humanity as a collective seem to be holding on for dear life right now and keeping that in your awareness will help you and others.

What do humans do when they gradually realize that the systems that they placed their faith in not only don’t serve them but have actively tried to gaslight them and keep them in the dark. The cognitive dissonance that we are witnessing right now is astonishing.

However, there is more light coming into awareness. You can sense this as well. Each day brings a new revelation. We are suddenly realizing COLLECTIVELY that there are many things that we DON’T need as a society. This list is growing every day as the exposure of graft and corruption reach epic proportions.

It’s a good time to restore one’s faith. Whether that is God and Christ or the Divine or the benevolent forces of the creative Universe or just humanity and each other. We have allies that are assisting us, both inner and outer.

Today’s guest is one of my favorite’s. A fellow lover of truth, humanity, freedom, and the Hero’s Journey. Enjoy the interview.

E268 Final Thoughts-

Basecamp for Men E264: Saving the American Republic

E264: Saving the American Republic

 

E264 Introduction

Wow, well I had a great interview all teed up but President Trump and Elon Musk are moving so fast I had to speak with you solo about this. Can you believe what we are watching? Something right out of the Q drops, is it not? The destruction of the old guard and NCSWIC.

Is any of this ringing a bell? Bueller? Bueller?

I am going to give a bit of reporting to you although many of you are seeing the same videos, tidbits and memes that I am seeing. I will give you my two cents, for what it’s worth. But I am also going to take a look at the 40 thousand ft view and point out some possible timelines from that perspective. Being careful to not pin any dates on anything although at this point and at this speed, do dates really matter anymore? Its happening Basecampers.

I remember hearing President Trump say (and I believe this was also in the Q drops), that the way to defeat a powerful enemy was to prepare quietly and then, when the time was right, strike like the most powerful animal in the jungle. This is exactly what you are seeing right now. We have so much to touch on and by the time I hit “publish”, there will be another dozen things that make your jaw drop in astonishment. No American president has EVER taken such a tactical, hell surgical, approach to cutting the diseased corruption out of the corpse known as the administrative Deep State…

The first three episodes are scheduled to drop sometime late next week or maybe even on the weekend. We’ll see.

I absolutely LOVED speaking with my guest today. A fellow seeker who has a deep interest in relationships, men, depth psychology, and myth and meaning. Right up our ally, right Basecamper? Let’s get right to it, shall we?

Basecamp for Men E262: Bitcoin for Military Veterans

E262: Bitcoin for Military Veterans with Special Guest Gabe Lord

 

E262 Introduction

It is hard to believe that we are only a week into Donald Trump’s Presidency and everything that has unfolded……IN ONE WEEK!!!

No more DEI in the gov‘t with is having massive ripples out into the corporate world with Walmart and Target (amongst many others) shuddering their DEI offices and trainings.

No more biological men in women and girls sports and locker rooms. Yay! I don‘t have a daughter but boy if I did, I wouldn’t want a bunch of dudes pretending to be women in there with her. Gross. We are going back to common sense Basecampers.

Pete Hegseth was just confirmed as Sec of Defense and he is all about getting woke leadership and trainings out of the military. We are going to start to see the American military flexing again. Oh, and President Trump is bringing back all military that refused the jab for religious and/or personal reasons. WITH FULL BACK PAY. That is awesome and just btw.

Mass deportation of illegal criminals has started. This will go on for quite some time, I would imagine. America is not the kind of place for open borders. The good President has sent the Marines to the southern border. Boy, that will change the feel down there, don’t you think? Sometimes you have to show strength and back it up. Worked well for Reagan. This is Trump”s flex: peace through strength.

Now we seem to be in a reset. Not the Great Reset engineered by the Globalists and the WEF and sociopaths like Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates. This reset is an American renewal and a return to our Republic, I believe. We are still in the early innings with a lot of game theory left to be played out. But I sure like what I am seeing from our team.

And I have some good news! I have been hired by the King County Republican party to write, produce, and host a new podcast that we are calling The American Pulse. More details to come but we are actively working on the first three episodes. I will keep you updated in the days to come.

Today’s episode is with a military veteran who’s father turned him onto Bitcoin. An interesting interview with an American veteran who is on a noble mission. Enjoy the interview!

Gabe Lord Bio

My guest today is Gabe Lord. Gabe is a father, a veteran, and expert in leadership training. He also pioneered the nation’s first state-approved Bitcoin education program for veterans. Here is my interview with Gabe Lord.
