E35: Pitfalls of the Path with Special Guest

Michael Anderson

 

E35 Introduction

First off, I want to remind listeners to go to www.basecampformen.com and sign up for my newsletter and please vote for your favorite season 1 episode or episodes. You can choose more than one. It looks like we will air the final season one episode on either Jan. 7thor Jan. 14thdepending on a few things.

One of the sub-topics we will continue to explore in Season Two is men’s health and aging well.

We all want to feel good and sometimes just a little more awareness of a situation goes a long way. Has it started to dawn on you that our system is not made for optimal health? If it was, we would have radically different outcomes than the ones we have now.

It seems the chemical industry has partnered with the food industry and the municipal water companies to give us chemical compounds that may be making us sick. There’s plenty of science to back this up if you care to look.

Everyone I know is buying organic and questioning the system. Gone are the days of just putting our heads in the sand, assuming big corporations have our health in mind (I can’t even say that with a straight face), eating a bunch of over-processed food and then taking prescription drugs (again more chemicals) to hopefully correct course and have us feel good again. More and more people that I meet and talk to are looking at creating the healthy road NOW for themselves, their families, and the communities they live in.

So here’s to 2020 being a healthier one for all of us. Here on Basecamp for Men, will continue to share resources here on with that end in mind.

Have a great Holiday season!

Addiction is a life experience that touches us all. More than 21 million Americans have at least one addiction. Of those 21 million, only 10% receive any sort of treatment. Addiction is something that nearly every family knows. In a typical family, you don’t have to look very far to find someone who has an addiction or an addictive/compulsive personality. Enjoy the episode with my very special guest Dr. Bob Beare as we “look under the hood” of addiction.

Spiritual wisdom is something that I have been fascinated with since I was a young man. Tales of spiritual enlightenment and the quest for deeper truths have long held my heartstrings. My guest today is a mystically inclined, wonderful woman named Janell Hartman.

My guest today is Jason Maniccia an actor and artist that I have known for almost 30 years. And we sat down to talk about creativity, baseball, and the road less traveled. Any artist will tell you that one of the things you develop over time is an ability to listen to and express the Muse. This elusive collective creative force that beckons artists across time and space to express the power and beauty of the creatively-led life.

Lately, I have been sitting with the question: what can MEN do to help the world today? What do we need to do to insure that future generations thrive? How do we leave the world better than we found it? As a teacher who works with male archetypes, I have been dimly aware that there is one of the archetypes that today seems strangely dormant in the collective male psyche…….THE KING.
