E130: Tony Rezac and the Hero’s Journey

 

E130 Introduction-

I was recently on Eric Zimmer’s excellent pod called The One You Feed. I highly recommend subscribing, if you have the bandwidth for another show. Eric is an excellent interviewer of his guests and is comfortable to hang out with, which is a necessary super-power amongst podcasters.

He was gracious enough to send me over the interview audio file so I could turn it into a Basecamp episode. Which is what I did here.

I love being in these sorts of conversations. Deep, authentic, humorous at times. I love talking to people that are willing to cut through the small talk and get down to what is really going on.

In this hour, we talk about my 2014 book Body and Soul: The Essential Handbook for Men. We also cover the challenges that men face, male archetypes and how they show up or not show up in our lives. And we talk a bit about my Life Renewal Program for Men, which I offer as an ongoing program.

Here is me on the other side of the conversation, so to speak, on The One You Feed with Eric Zimmer. I hope you enjoy it.

 

 

 

 

E128: Growing Our Sovereignty with Special Guest Christian Elliot

 

E128 Introduction

The topic of sovereignty has been moved into the center for me and many others. It seems the little things that we do and learn in the coming weeks and months might be the difference between thriving and living in fear in our not-so-distant future. Are we heading for a societal and financial collapse? One that is violent and freaks everyone out? I hope not.

I hope the transition to the new paradigm is gradual and one that each one of us can integrate. But when you are talking about entrenched systems of power and control (Central Banking, centralized food and supply distribution, centralized education), not to mention technology and its invasive application into our lives and minds, a gradual transition would not be my prediction. It will happen in a rapid destruction and I believe we are already seeing it.

With all that being said, I want any systems that have enslaved us to be deconstructed. We all have money in the banks but that does not mean Central Banking is a friend to you and I. Quite the contrary as only a bit of basic research will reveal to you.

Do I consider myself a prepper? No. But I, like any responsible father, am doing my research, learning new skills, and making adjustments.   My conversation today with my guest is part of my offering to you. I hope you will join me in educating yourself and your loved ones on the principles and tools of sovereignty. I believe it is the sanest and most empowering road for us.

One little piece of news before we get to our interview, I see Go Fund Me took 10 million dollars that were donated to the Canadian truckers who are marching for freedom of choice and redistributed it to more “woke” causes. Are you kidding me? So if you don‘t agree with them philosophically, they will steal your money and give it to someone else? I missed that part on their website. This is something that should concern anyone, no matter their political orientation. What if your group was championing an environmental or climate change cause and Go Fund Me took the money and gave it to the NRA because they thought that was better use?

Personally, I will no longer donate to any cause that asks for my money using Go Fund Me. And yes, I am not above taking pleasure in their downward spiral and ultimate failure. Who wouldn’t? Hey Go Fund Me, here is something really obvious. When people trust you to broker donations to the causes THEY choose, they don’t want it stolen from them. Just a little FYI. Oh, and news travels fast when your business does something unethical. But you are already finding that out, aren’t you?

E128 Final Thoughts-

I hope you all enjoyed our talk with Christian Elliot. I am going to be participating in his upcoming Sovereignty program and I recommend you to do the same. I’m looking over the modules and it is tempting for me to do the Health and Healing module first as you know Christian and Nina will have great content. I see they are including material on fasting and how to protect yourself and your family from EMF pollution. Really important and relevant information.

But another module, Food Fundamentals, also looks really relevant to me. As someone who has been a life-long urbanite and who grocery shops for his food, this is an obvious area to grow my autonomy outside of any central control. If you outsource important areas like food, health, safety, then what do you do when those that you outsource this to change the terms of the agreement? What do we do in a supply line freeze?

E120: Season Three Wrap-Up

 

E120 Introduction

Well Basecampers, we have come to the end of season three. I hope you have been finding value in the episodes. Today we have a Firestarter short format with no interview. I really enjoyed season three. I feel privileged to be able to meet all these great people and bring you something different with these conversations. And I know that sometimes you and I are not in complete agreement on something and I want to thank you for giving me space to explore and express certain ideas and themes. I hope I am giving you space as you express your concerns and viewpoints and hopes about where we are going as a tribe.

There is so much going on in the world right now. There is a lot of people waking up. I will continue to do my best to hold and present a meta and mythic viewpoint for us. I invite you to join me in creating the new narrative. It is my belief that 2022 will be an astounding year for us. Our collective awakening is quickening and events will certainly come fast and furious in the coming year. Let’s continue to help one another make better sense of it.

E119: The Road Forward with Special Guest Christian Elliot

 

E119 Introduction

Hello listeners. We are finishing up season three and my sound editor Chris and I will be taking a short holiday break. We have today‘s episode and then a season wrap up/preview of 2022 and what Basecamp for Men will be up to in the coming year. The break will be short. We will be back with a new episode to start off season four on Jan 11th.

This will give me a chance to catch my breath and not have a Tuesday deadline breathing down me neck each week. It was always my plan to run seasons. 40 or so episodes before taking a short hiatus. The break between season one and season two was long. Many months as we built the new platform etc etc. I never actually took a break between season two and season three. We simply announced a new season and kept on recording. This upcoming break is more what I had in mind. Just a few weeks to breathe. I am very much looking forward to season four and what we will be covering.

This weeks episode is one of my favorites of the entire season. My guest today is not only holding space for all of our views, he is helping to create the more pro-humanity narrative that we are all instinctively looking for, whether we realize it or not.
