Basecamp for Men E303: Keeping Optimism Alive

E303: Keeping Optimism Alive w Special Guest Lisa Rezac

 

E303 Introduction 

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. We are winding down Season #7 and I hope you have enjoyed the conversations and content. Just like in seasons past, we will be taking a Holiday sabbatical from Basecamp. Tuesday Nov 18th will be the season finale and it looks to be a Basecamp Classic as I don‘t have a guest for next week. I will be sure to pick out a good one to finish on.

We will return with fresh episodes and energy on Tues Jan 20th.

Today’s episode is really about optimism. It is something I think about quite often. I have referred to it as an American superpower and I truly believe that it is. And you can see the devastating impact this war on humanity and America has had by the lack of optimism we see in so many of our people (and especially) our young people.

It seems that part of the Globalist agenda is to demoralize us to the point that we lose hope that our shared future could once again be good and uplifting and beautiful.

If you are a naturally optimistic person, like I am and my guest today, this may be the most important timeline for you and this superpower of yours.

There are mythological powers that come with optimism and carrying the Light. And these powers are surrendered by you if you give up hope thinking that we are all alone or that we can’t win against this entrenched darkness. Hang in there Basecampers for we believe that we have powerful allies ready to assist humanity in these important next chapters. Enjoy the episode.

Basecamp for Men E286: On Duty with Jerrod Sessler

E286: On Duty with Jerrod Sessler

 

E286 Introduction

I met my guest today at the recent King Co Lincoln Day Dinner and really wanted to bring him on Basecamp. He is one of the true leaders of the America First movement here in WA state. A successful entrepreneur who feels called to stand up and fight for American values.

Not because it’s easy or because he thinks DC is so awesome or because he thinks he’ll make a bunch of money. He doesn’t need to. No, he does it because like President Trump, he loves this country and what we stand for and because over a million Americans have died in the line of duty so that we and our children can continue to enjoy our liberties.

We are living in times where our liberties have been under siege by those with more Marxist and Communist and Globalist leanings. If good Americans don’t stand up and do their part, how do we win? A WE THE PEOPLE movement has to have PEOPLE in the movement, are you following me?

What is “doing your part?” Well, it might be stepping up to be a local PCO or LD Chair. It might mean learning about how school boards work so you can start to make a difference there. It might be simply donating what you can to those candidates that align with your values like my guest today, who is fighting for us all. It will take a village to turn this around. Won‘t you please consider joining us in whatever way feels right for you? Thank you Basecampers.

My interview today ranges from Trump and the fight for America, to dynamics in the Republican party, to being on duty vs. being on liberty, and even a question about classic cars! Enjoy the interview.

Jerrod Sessler Bio

My guest today is Jerrod Sessler. Jerrod is a father and husband, a Navy veteran and a Christian, a successful entrepreneur, a NASCAR driver and a candidate in the mid-term elections for Washington State’s 4th Congressional District. Oh, and he is wholeheartedly endorsed by President Trump. Here is my interview with Jerrod Sessler.

E286 Final Thoughts

Well I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. What a great candidate for Congress. He is exactly the kind of man I want representing us in DC. You can find out more and support Jerrod’s run at www.jerrodforcongress.com. Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

 

 

 

 

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-

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. I feel like I could sit around the fire all night shooting the shit about all the things that are unfolding. To get directly connected to Joel’s content, go subscribe to his excellent podcast Here for the Truth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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…
