Basecamp for Men E35: Pitfalls of the Path

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!

Basecamp for Men E34: The Gifts of Solitude

Hello listeners, I hope you are all having a great festive Holiday season. Before we get to our interview, I wanted to give you some updates on Basecamp. We are finishing up Season 1 in the coming weeks. I anticipate doing the final season One episode in January. After that, we will take a short hiatus (likely two months) to recharge and re-set things before season two.

Basecamp for Men E32: The Heart of Addiction

Dark abstract background

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.

Basecamp for Men E31: Adopting a Growth Mindset

My guest today is author Hylke Faber and he is an expert on mindset. There has been a surge of interest in recent years on mindset and psychology, and with good reason. Understanding the software that our brain is running and being able to upgrade it to something more powerful and uplifting, makes good sense for us human beings.

Basecamp for Men E25: Championing Our Youth

How do we help our youth thrive in today’s world? I won’t pretend that I know or have the answers. But I‘m more than willing to sit with the question.  And I love to get the perspectives of others as we seek resources and new approaches to growing our young people up. It does truly take a village and, thankfully, our village has collective wisdom.
