Basecamp for Men E148: Learning to Fight

E148: Learning to Fight with Special Guest Alex McShane

 

E148 Introduction

I have often thought that every man needs to know how to fight. To have been in a fight or two even. I know that isn’t very politically correct with all the snowflake prounouns and blah blah blah. But there you have it.

There is something a man learns about himself when he has been engaged in some sort of hand-to-hand combat. Whether that is through boxing, wrestling, martial arts, or good old-fashioned bar fight. And don’t get me wrong. I’m not preaching violence. It is just a man learns something of himself when he puts himself to the test. It’s empowering.

I often thought to myself throughout the whole Covid shenanigans “Where is the fight in men?”. Our Constitutional rights are being taken away (for example, no jab, no travel, no jab/no job here, wear your masks until some corrupt bureaucrat tells you its ok to take it off). I was stunned by the lack of fight I saw in men. Without a fighting spirit, we’re fuckin doomed.

America wasn’t formed as a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC because our founding fathers had no fight. Quite the contrary. Our nation is here because of the fight in its citizens and its soldiers. Covid was a test of this fighting spirit and I‘m not so sure we passed. At least not collectively. There will surely be new tests ahead of us where our courage and fight are again put to the test. My hope is that each person will do his or her part to stand for the principles that brought us here.

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking to an MMA fighter. Let’s go talk about training, fighting, and Bitcoin!

Alex McShane Bio-

Alex McShane is the Head of Multimedia / Programming at Bitcoin Magazine, and the CEO of McShane Capital. Alex also designs and sells shirts, shoes, and Bitcoin related art. In his free time, Alex enjoys practicing Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, Muay Thai, and MMA.

E148 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed our time with Alex McShane. You could see a difference in our mindsets around BTC. Where I am applying an old scarcity mindset where I never want to part with mine. Alex has evolved to find a more interesting way to engage and experience the BTC standard as a way of living. I have sent BTC to a number of friends but I look forward to joining Alex in a more fluid participation in the Bitcoin future.

Alex has some really cool t-shirts (I already ordered one) at the McShane Collection at www.lmtdsupply.com/pages/mcshane.

Basecamp for Men E147: The Elephant in the Room

E147: The Elephant in the Room with Special Guest Cat Parker

 

E147 Introduction

I saw a meme going around that perfectly captures the current rash of health issues going around from being jabbed. It has been passed around IG and FB. It says “We are in the midst of the longest, saddest, most excruciating and unsatisfying I TOLD YOU SO in the history of the world.” I think this captures a particular moment in time right now.

As someone who was sounding the alarm bells about these experimental, untested shots, I know in my heart I did everything I could. And it brings me absolutely no satisfaction to be right about this. I don’t care about being right. I value health for all of us. My allegiance is always with WE THE PEOPLE.

A few positive developments I am seeing is more and more good nurses are starting to band together and sound the alarm bells. These nurses are hoping that parents will at least look into the adverse reactions happening all over the planet. If we can keep parents from jabbing the little ones, this would be a big win for us.

And I think this is happening. Parents are waking up. According to the corrupt CDC, Only 2% of children 6-month to 5 years old have had it. This has Pfizer flabbergasted, I‘m sure. And in the 5-11 year olds, only 16% have taken it. Big Pharma has lost our trust. Evidence (both anecdotal and hard data) are sinking the corrupt, careening industry that decided that experimenting on US was fine…..as long as the payday was big enough .Parents have been put on notice and have risen to the occasion. This brings a smile to my face.

Lastly, I saw a post my Dr. Horace Drew who says “Writing as a professional scientist, I would like to emphasize that ANY vaccine which requires 5 doses, once every three months, just to reduce symptoms, but not infection or transmission, would NEVER be approved under normal circumstances. Please get a grip on facts and reality. “ Well said doctor. Let’s go talk to our guest today, who has an interesting story to share with us.

Cat Parker Bio-

My guest today is Cat Parker. Cat is a creative photographer, a former law enforcement officer, and comes to share her story of health and censorship of information. Here is my interview with Cat Parker.

Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed my interview the awesome Cat Parker. To check out her photography or help her with a donation for her health costs, go to www.catparkerphoto.com Please consider helping her, every bit helps.

Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all good health. I hope that you and your family are feeling your best and, if not, finding the resources to return to vibrant good health. God bless you all.

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E145: About Men

E145: About Men

 

E145 Introduction

Wow, there is so much going on in the world right now. How are you all holding up?

God you hear some absurd stuff about men and masculinity these days. Men are not really celebrated for the gifts they bring anymore. Everything has to be viewed through a Marxist, transgendered lens. To speak of positive masculinity and the abundant gifts that men bring to our world is to be sort of old-fashioned, isn’t it?

If all things transgendered is HIP (is it hip?) then ordinary, good men will seem outdated and out of step. It is as if they are trying to tell the world that it doesn’t need men. How absurd is that?

To counter this absurdity and in celebration of men I offer you 10 gifts that men bring the world. What a radical idea huh? Celebrate men and boys for what they inherently bring to our lives. This list is far from exhaustive. See if you recognize some of your gifts that you bring to the world. And don’t let the strange anti-humanist MSM agenda diminish you in any way. Men have work inner work to do but there is much to stand tall about. Here we go.

Basecamp for Men E144: Forgiveness

E144: Forgiveness with Special Guest Nancy Polsky

 

E144 Introduction

“Forgiveness is perhaps the most challenging of all resources available to us- and the most transformational.”

-Shauna Shapiro, author-

One of the themes of Basecamp has been personal development, for both the men and women out there. There is something that I gradually noticed about humanity over time. We really struggle with forgiveness. As in nearly every one of us! I know I do.

We tend to turn our heartbreaks and affronts to our delicate ego’s into revenge scenarios in our minds. Because we were wronged, so the ego says, we are right to still be mad or at least to still hold a low-level grudge, never restoring the world with the lost affinity and love we have kept from it. . Friends that left, siblings that just don’t get us, parents that didn’t love us in just the way we needed to be loved.

The cycle goes on and on and on. We age and maybe arrive at a point where forgiveness starts to talk to us more and more. Is my desire for peace and commitment to love greater than my desire for revenge and for being right about some hurtful situation from so many, many years ago? If I am still upset when I think about a situation where I perceived I was wronged, is the work with that person over there or with me? I think you know where I am going with this? If you are 30 or 40 or 50 and you are still holding onto a grudge for 10 or 20 or 30 years, the work to resolve this and have peace in the world is on your plate NOT theirs. Just as my grudges are on my plate. We are at a place where how skillfully we handle this issue may be one of our keys to living a higher truth. Can we let go of what has, up until now, confined us? Let’s go talk about it with our guest today.

Nancy Polsky Bio–

Nancy Polsky is a leadership coach, speaker and award-winning leader in corporate learning. Nancy has been a recognized leader in workforce development as part of Training Magazine’s lifetime achievement Top 125. We got together to talk about, among other things, the power of forgiveness. Here is my interview with Nancy Polsky.

E144 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed our conversation with Nancy Polsky. A couple of resources for you, in regards to incorporating a forgiveness practice as part of your personal development.

The Buddhist author Pema Chodron, that is spelled ____ has wonderful books addressing the very dynamic that Nancy and I spoke of. Pema is a wonderful writer, full of humor and humanity. She has a bunch of books on Amazon to choose from.

Basecamp for Men E142: A Firestarter for Men

E142: A Firestarter for  Men

 

E142 Introduction

God I had a hard time finding this episode. Generally, I have an interview that frames everything. We didn’t have that. I can get Lisa to do one but that didn’t quit feel right either. There is the Firestarters for Men, my short format also known as my “oh shit, the deadline is here and I need to record something” format.

Firestarter it is, but what? I looked under every rock on my computer and finally looked at some of my miscellaneous writing to try and shape something there, which is what I choose to do.

I have a couple of memes and a sketch of the next quarter of what I am trying to bring you. I have Mark Jeftovic coming back on next week and I am really looking forward to speaking with him. He is the futurist and Bitcoin investor and he has done some great writing recently that we are going to talk about.

I plan on having Enna Reittort back on as I feel we just scratched the surface with our recent two-parter.

There is something about myth (particularly the Annunaki myth), Galactic disclosure, and the secret space program that is being unfolded before our very eyes. Have you picked up on any of this yourself? We will be having discussion with thought leaders and researchers here as it relates to, well, EVERYTHING doesn’t it?

Enjoy this 8 minute nugget and we’ll see you next week for our normal format.
