Basecamp for Men E165: Season Five Kickoff

E165: Season Five Kickoff

 

E165 Introduction

My name is Tony Rezac. I was a liberal for 30 years , who now identifies as a Pro-America Libertarian. I believe in personal freedom at each and every point. I am a no-bullshit kind of guy. Freedom is my essence , its in my DNA from my ancestors who had freedom in their DNA. My love for our beloved America I proudly wear on my sleeve. My pronouns are burn these Marxist lies to the ground. The tools I use are my heart, my love of humanity, my inner knowing , and my voice which I pray will find your heart and your inner knowing.

We have important work to do, you and I. Each human will play his or her part. Some will play large roles, like Elon Musk and General Flynn and Donald Trump. You may not like these men but you cannot deny that they are each playing a huge role in the story. Others will play mid-sized roles. I guess I could be included in that group with a show that is growing its listenership and more people have been reaching out to kindly recognize my contribution. But small, everyday heroes are just as important. Even holding onto pro-humanity principles and speaking your truth with courage and compassion around divisive issues can make a big difference. Live from your heart, love humanity, and you are on our side.

Thank you Basecampers!

E164: Season 4 Finale

 

E164 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. We have come to the end of season four. Today will be the last episode of 2022. We will start back up in early January of 2023. For today, I have a Basecamp Classic.

But before we get to that, I wanted to announce that we now have categories for all of the episodes. This has been a project I was meaning to get to for quite some time and I really wanted to have all episodes categorized before we went on break, so you could browse and click on some episodes that are in a category that you are particularly interested in.

The categories are as follows: Men and Shadow Work, Our Hero’s Journey, Mythic Viewpoints, The Walkaways, Firestarters Tony Rezac Solo EPs, Red Pills and the Great Awakening, The Freedom Chronicles, Bitcoin and Our Future, A Walk on the Wild Side, Tony’s Favorites and Misc.

Hopefully this will help you and future listeners find the episodes that most assist you on your Hero’s Journey.

Today’s epiosode is a Basecamp Classic. EP 60 Living a Mythic Life with my friend and mentor Jon Wilson.

And Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all have a joyous Holiday season and find just the right balance of friends, family, cheer, and rest and renewal. Thank you Basecampers and I will see you all around the fire after the first of the year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E163: Truth with Compassion

E163: Truth with Compassion with Special Guest

Roy Holman

 

E163 Introduction

Hello Basecampers. We are winding down season number four but today will be the second to the last instead of the last episode of season four. I am working on a project with Corey (my website guy) to categorize all the episodes so that you and future listeners can easily find what types of episodes they are looking for. So next week will likely be a combination of just me and perhaps a short Basecamp Classic, depending on my creative output.

Today’s episode is a good one I think with my good friend Roy Holman. Roy and I have had similar walkaway journeys. I count him as a trusted friend and fellow truth warrior. When you take this Hero’s Journey and let go of so many ideas and people (like Roy and I and others have) that were part of your earlier chapters, you bring a deep appreciation and gratitude to your newfound friends and travel-companions.

Being singled out as domestic terrorists and a blight to society for standing for personal freedom tends to bond people who are excommunicated from the herd. As you all know by now, I have a deep respect for the brave men and women who stand for truth and freedom. Thank you Basecampers and enjoy today’s episode.

Basecamp for Men E160: The Path of Humility

E160: The Path of Humility w Special Guest

Michael Knight

 

E160 Introduction

Humility. Being humble. This is not a characteristic that comes natural for us in the West, is it? We are encouraged at a young age to not only have a healthy ego but to strive to be special, to be “the Man” in whatever endeavors you seek to make your mark. Be the smartest, the best, be special, be famous, blah blah blah.

We can see this lack of humility all over the place. Especially wherever there is “status”. In corporate business, with lawyers and doctors, with celebrities, with our athletes, and within ourselves. It is not something that many of us were taught, or so it seems. Humbleness isn’t flashy is it? So why cultivate it?

Yet something new is emerging as my guest today so eloquently expresses. That the humble path is the earthy and soulful path. That it has an elegance and a sort of magic to it.

I remember reading about the world famous New Zealand rugby team the All-Blacks. They are the greatest rugby team in world. Legendary. What do they teach and lead with? You guessed it, humility. The author of a book about the All-Blacks went to their training facility to interview their most well-known and most beloved players and found them happily sweeping out the locker room. Can you imagine seeing Michael Jordan or Kobe or Aaron Rogers or Aaron Judge sweeping up the garbage? Neither can I.

Yet, this humbleness permeates much of the male culture in Polynesia. The All-Blacks have many of the indigenous Maori and this emphasis on service comes from them. I have noticed this same, wonderful characteristic in many of the Polynesian men I have met. A gentle nature. A humility. A willingness to serve the tribe in whatever way is needed in the moment.

There is an invitation here for growth. For you and I to surrender to the process of letting go: of old identities and ways of being, of our arrogance, of old behaviors and ways of thinking and feeling that no longer serve us. The invitation is to travel lighter my friend. And right-sizing the ego and embracing the humble path may just be the key. My guest today is a friend and a man who exemplifies what I am talking about. Let’s go sit around the fire with him.

Michael Knight Bio-

My guest today is Michael Knight. Michael is a friend, former professional basketball player, a mentor/trainer and entrepreneur. Here is my interview with Michael Knight.

E160 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed our time with Michael Knight. He is part of a new generation of athletes that carry a strong spiritual vibe about them. These athletes express some deep wisdom about who we are and that, sometimes when we focus on ALL of us getting better, each individual finds his or her unique Hero’s Journey in life. All of that resonates here.

Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.
