Basecamp for Men E260: Season Six Finale

E260: Season Six Finale

 

E260 Introduction

Well, we have come to the end of our 6th season. I hope you enjoyed this year’s content as much as I enjoyed creating it with my guests. There is much to be excited for as we turn the calendar to 2025.

We were all set to interview Dr. Ben Tapper but his wife went into labor with their 4th child (a son he told me) and so we needed to postpone. So instead of this being an interview about health and whatnot, it’s just me doing a short-format Firestarter to finish the season out. I hope you don’t mind.

Today’s episode will hit tomorrow, Dec. 17th and then we are on sabbatical for a few weeks. We have an exciting Season #7 planned and the first episode will likely be Jan. 21st, right after Trump’s inauguration.

Thank you for listening this past season Basecampers, I truly appreciate it. We all have so much to be grateful for as we finish out 2024 and begin anew in 2025. America is experiencing a renewal of her Soul.

I am grateful to live in America, my geographical and spiritual home. I am grateful for leaders on the national scene like President Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy and RFK Jr. 2025 won’t be perfect. But it is sure to be a year for the ages. And I am here for it, pen and microphone in hand.

I hope you also get a chance to unplug from work, spend time laughing and appreciating your loved ones. I hope you get a chance to celebrate Christ and the Divine in whatever way is meaningful to you. For we are ALL connected in the heart of the Divine. In the heart of Jesus Christ our Lord, our Light.

It is a time let the Light in,, kick up our joy, , and love and celebrate one another. Thank you all. Your ears and heart give my life a clear purpose. We’ll see you again in just few short weeks. Merry Christmas Basecampers!

Basecamp for Men E257: A Light in the Shadows

E257: A Light in the Shadows with Special Guest David Leon

 

E257 Introduction

Well, we are winding down Season six and what a season it has been. Here is what we have coming up. It looks like we will run a few more episodes up until Dec. 17th, which will be our Season Six finale.

For the listeners that don’t know, I take a recording and interview break from the show over the Holidays. This extends into the first half of Jan, generally a month or so. This sabbatical allows me to spiritually recharge and live for a few weeks with no weekly podcast deadline. This break has proven to be essential for my well-being.

I will be coming back on to start Season seven in and around President Trump’s inauguration. So, the 1st episode of season seven will drop either Tues. Jan 14th or Tues. Jan 21st, depending on what is happening in the world.

Today’s interview is a good one. It got put in the hopper a little longer than usual so I want to thank David for his patience. It is a far-reaching interview. We touch on the spiritual war, drug addiction, the occult, child exploitation, pornography as a weapon, and Donald Trump as OUR bull in the china shop.

Enjoy the interview!

Basecamp for Men E254: A Nation Braces

E254: A Nation Braces

 

E254 Introduction

Well as I was looking over my interviews to select for Tuesdays show and a monumental national election upon us, I sort of realized that none of them are particularly relevant to the moment at hand. So I decided to do a short Firestarter (8 minutes long) to give you something a bit more timely.

I found some interesting predictions of what one man thinks could possibly happen on Tuesday and its immediate aftermath. We are all having these conversations right now. What do you think will happen? I thought I would read it to you as I think those from the center to the right side of the political spectrum are thinking along similar lines. Some of these predictions are a bit scary. Not because they are doomer or grim but because we all know that chaos can be frightening and unpredictable and everyone is looking for solid ground right now and there isn’t any, other than your family, closest friends, and your 2 or 3 bedrock principles that you stand for.

Anyway, this is from Health Ranger from one of the Telegram channels I frequent. It is not a Devolution or Q-drop reference as those come with a different lens. Many in the Devolution or Contingency Gov’t are calling a different game and all of that is fascinating as well. I think we will know a lot more by mid-January. Hang in there Basecampers, we’re in the storm together.

 

Basecamp for Men E253: Battlefield Addiction

E253: Battlefield Addiction with Special Guest Art Dahlen

 

E253 Introduction

Today is a bit of a hybrid episode. I have a great guest on, someone who has walked the talk in regard to addiction and recovery and has started an organization that is truly helping addicts recover by putting families first and offering tough love and accountability rather than enabling a victim mentality and this jives with us here at Basecamp. Taking responsibility for one’s life is tried and true methodology that consistently produces results, as you will hear in our discussion.

But we are also on top of a monumental election that has both sides and anyone stuck in the middle nervous. What is coming our way? There are many interesting possibilities at play. A grand 5D chess game between two opponents who seem to know each other and what moves their adversary might make.

And I am not talking about D vs. R. God, we are WAY past that rudimentary understanding of this, aren’t we Basecampers. All of the rabbit holes lead to the Truth at this point. Go ahead, dive down. You will end up right here where we are at.

Like I said, I have this great interview but I needed something more. After all, the nation is bracing itself, is it not?

Then I found a great piece about the Trump-Joe Rogan conversation that Burning Bright put out on Substack. It fits perfectly. Burning Bright, I hope you don’t mind me turning your excellent piece into a episode here. I will credit you here and at the end. I take no credit for this piece about DJT and Rogan. Although I wish I would have written it. Enjoy the episode.

Art has over 13 years of experience as a highly effective family and recovery coach, having guided thousands of families and individuals through strategic interventions that result in long-term recovery.

Basecamp for Men E252: The Way of the Soul

E252: The Way of the Soul with Special Guest Dr. James Hollis

 

E252 Introduction

Today‘s episode is a special one for me as I get to speak with someone so well versed in depth psychology and the way of the Soul. To me, these interviews have a timeless quality to them as my guest and I talk about life’s most important questions and how a brave and sensitive Soul might go about navigating these questions and finding a true path for oneself.

We seem to be in the midst of a profound collective identity crisis. And I believe it is a calling back to Soul itself that will most help humanity emerge with new perspectives, new life, and a renewed sense of vitality and purpose. Turbulent times seem to guide and prod us to find our deepest resources within.

Before we get to our excellent guest, I wanted to read you a passage from one of his 19 books.

“As children we suffer the wounds of too-muchness or not-enoughness, feeling overwhelmed or abandoned, and wind up adapting our Souls to protect our wounds.

What a difference it would make in the life of the child, and of the whole world, if the parent could repeatedly, sincerely, say ‘You are brought into life by nature having all you need. You have a great force, a great spirit, a great energy within.

Trust it, stay in contact with it, and it will always lead you towards what is right for you.”

Profound words from a very wise man. Enjoy the interview.
