Basecamp for Men E214: Embracing the Mystery

E214: Embracing the Mystery with Special Guest Vincenzo Falone

 

E214 Introduction

One of my goals when I started Basecamp was to invite the men who listen into a more mythic way of viewing themselves and their lives. Having been an initiate of the Mankind Projects’ New Warrior Training, I saw firsthand for myself and the men who I have been close with just how powerful and long-lasting the impact of this initiation was.

One of the core benefits (I believe) is that the weekend awakens something in the Soul of men. Something that stirs in our depths but is dormant until the right initiatory pulse awakens it. It’s the combination of a deep sense that you belong in the tribe of men along with a clear sense of purpose that is often missing in so many men I see.

Before being properly initiated, men can chase money and status and women as a way of measuring and validating themselves. I think deep down, most men know that this road is futile. But there are no other clear paths that are marked. There is just a faint trail and maybe the only man or men who you‘ve seen take it are different from you in some regards…. a bit more courageous perhaps? Maybe, but I think its more ready, more tired of the posturing, more tired of living without a clear purpose. More tired of their own bullshit and living from their shadow.

My guest today is also a product of the faint trail. You can hear it in his speech, in his vibration.

There is always an invitation to join us on a Warrior weekend. It doesn’t matter your age, race, socio-economic background, your sexual preference, the weekend was built for you. Yes you.

There is a long cherished saying in the men‘s community when it comes to this initiation: Men Are Waiting.Waiting for you to take the faint trial, waiting for you embrace the mysterious and the mythic, and waiting for you to trust the tribe of men to have your back. Enjoy the interview!

E212: Radical Unschooling with Special Guest Dayna Martin

 

E212 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. We are back up and running the start of Season Six and man, what a year 2024 is going to be. Can you sense the excitement, tension, anxiety, anticipation in the air? It is like EVERYONE knows that shit is going to hit the fan this year. It’s like watching a giant, global chess match between fairly evenly matched opposing forces.

I took my family down to Phoenix before Christmas to attend Turning Point USA‘s America Fest. It was incredibly inspiring. The lineup had a “who’s who” of great Conservative and Libertarian speakers. Tucker Carlson, Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, Donald Trump Jr., Candace Owens, Vivek Ramaswamy, Kari Lake, James O’Keefe, as well as people that I had just become aware of like NBA star Jonathan Isaac and North Korean escapee Yeonmi Park. The narrative was uplifting. The vibe was one of inspired courage and commitment at this crossroad in our nation’s destiny.

I highly recommend attending this for anyone looking to get plugged in. One of the most inspiring things was seeing all the young people (college and even high school kids) in the audience. Our future. These young adults are strong in their values and know that we live in the greatest country in the world. They aren’t buying all this Marxist woke nonsense. And they can articulate all the reasons why. It gave me a sense of hope to see a generation behind me with such strong values and faith. These young people are unshakeable.

Another thing that stuck with me about America Fest was how Charlie Kirk said that 2024 would be the year he planned on working the hardest he has ever worked to help save the country he loves. Think about that. This is one of the hardest working Conservatives I know of. Bannon said more or less the same thing.

The message was loud and clear. We have incredible people on our side but the restoration of America is up to each and every one of us. We all have a role to play. 2024 will not be a year of complacency. It is a year of summoning your courage, finding your voice, and getting out of your comfort zone. We need good people to counter the onslaught of AI-driven fear and division.

Today’s guest is someone I was so pleased to meet and get to know. She is the author of a couple of books we’ll talk about. And she exemplifies the American spirit: smart, a good critical thinker, with a healthy dose of American rebel. Remember Basecampers, if the rebellious streak that runs through our DNA, that great American anti-authoritarian rebel spirit leaves the gene pool, how on earth will we summon courage for what we will face? For the rebel spirit and courage go hand in hand.

Let’s have a 2024 worthy of our American lineage and one that where we can all stand tall (no matter our political leanings), knowing we were in the fight to save our great country.

Let’s get to our first interview of Season Six. It’s a good one. Enjoy!

E210 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, we are coming down the finish line towards the end of Season five. I hope you have enjoyed the episodes this year. I will be doing today’s solo episode and we will finish with a few words and a Basecamp Classic on Dec. 5th.

I am sorry to report that the Secret Space Program episode is being bumped until early Season 6. It will likely be one of the first 3 or 4 episodes of next season, which has an arrival date of sometime in Feb. I know I promised the Space episode this season but I got railroaded with Shingles that really brought a halt to my ability to do research and write. Also, this is a serious topic and it will be new to many of you. I want to find the right sorts of inputs so that it will make a positive impact for you. Right now, that material is not ready to go.

Today, we have some memes, and then some short pieces by both Jordan Sather and Jordan Peterson. I guess I could have called this one the Two Jordan Firestarter. Hmm. Enjoy the episode.

E207 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. I have been recovering from Shingles. Still not completely up and running yet but making small improvements. Working on getting you a few more good episodes before going on a short hiatus for the Holidays. Already thinking a bit about 2024 and Season six. 2024 is going to be crazy man. I think anyone with even a sliver of intuition knows this. Good time to take things slow and steady my friend.

What a time to be alive, isn‘t it? You are seeing truth coming in like a wrecking ball, laying waste to everything build on lies and deception. It’s glorious. I am here for the changing of the guard. For the emergence of humanity out from under a dehumanizing, centrally controlled Globalist system with an obvious master/slave fetish.

I have some memes and then a short-format Firestarter about Bitcoin. Enjoy.

E203: The Truth About Men

 

E203 Introduction

Today is a different sort of episode but one that we have done from time to time….me being interviewed on another podcast. I like to throw these in there when the content is good and relevant and vibrant. My new friend Marja West guides the conversation in expert fashion.

And I am offering a new service for men and woman alike. One on one Zoom calls with me to support you in your unique Hero’s Journey. I have been feeling the pull to offer something else for humanity and I think this is a very good option. I am not feeling like starting up group work again at this time. I know quite a few men who have reached out to ask about this. I just had coffee with another yesterday.

So this is my way of keeping my finger on the pulse without going back over some of the same terrain I’ve already covered. And the new service isn’t super-structured like my old coaching programs. It is really just you and I finding out what challenges you are facing and how I can help you into the next chapter of your Hero’s Journey. I feel like this taps into my experience as a facilitator of shadow work and the human experience and my love of humanity and where we are all going together.

Men will find it valuable to have a nonjudgmental man in their corner to help them navigate what is going on and where they want to go. Women will benefit from this as well, especially if you are looking to better understand the men in your lives- the husbands and partners, the sons, the brothers.

For more information, simply go to either www.basecampformen.com or www.tonyrezac.com and you can click on the email form and reach out. If you think my perspective can help you navigate, don’t hesitate to contact me. It is a no-pressure way to see if I can assist you in forward movement, whatever that looks like for you.

And now onto today’s conversation. Marja West and I at the microphones, dropping truth bombs. Enjoy!
