Basecamp for Men E136: Rezac v Marx

E136: Rezac v Marx

 

E136 Introduction

 

“Never let your enemies educate your children.”

Malcolm X

As promised, today is the follow up to last weeks episode with the always insightful Mark Jackson. I had a funny moment as I was titling last weeks episode. I always try and come up with a short, catchy title. Sometimes the titles come right away and sometimes I am sitting there on Tuesday morning with only the title left, looking for the missing piece of the puzzle.

And when I do controversial episodes or at least episodes where Big Tech will block, censor, or shadow ban my work, I look for workarounds. Can I title it something that the bots won’t recognize, etc, etc.

As I was looking for a title last week and thinking these thoughts, I concluded with “Fuck these guys and their censorship, I am going to title it Punching Karl Marx!” My original thought was “Punching that fat hairy bastard Karl Marx repeatedly in his anti-humanist, anti-American face!”  However, the writer in me, who values concise, succinct titles, would’t green light it. So Punching Karl Marx it is…..that hairy anti-humanist.

You know that game where you ask other men, if you could fight any man, dead or alive, who would it be? For me, it‘s not even close. I would love to kick the living crap out of Karl Marx for all the misery and death he has caused my human tribe. Just a couple of rounds please! I know that is not very enlightened of me. I‘m not advocating violence, just having a bit of fun at Marx’s expense. It‘s just the more I read about Marx and his ideas, the more the Warrior in me is ready to defend the children.

Today‘s episode is a Firestarter solo episode but I hope it acts as a primer into how Marxism is impacting our government run education system. Indeed our collective education system. I have borrowed heavily from The Epoch Times great book How the Specter of Communism is Ruling Our World. I don‘t think they will mind and I will leave reference to it at the end.

My hope is parents of young children will roll up their sleeves and find a better option for their kids. If only a few of you do this, then this episode served its purpose.

 

Basecamp for Men E134: We Need BOTH the Masculine and Feminine Perspectives

E134: We Need BOTH the Masculine and Feminine Perspectives with Lisa and Tony Rezac

 

E134 Introduction

There are so many things unfolding right now. It can make your head spin. The Truth movement is really gathering momentum. A quickening. People are waking up all over the nation and the world. You can see abundant evidence even if you live in one of the woke enclaves like I do.

Sometimes I am not sure what I will do an episode about. Of the many topics that I cover, certainly a sort of metanarrative about how WE THE PEOPLE are doing would be near the top, wouldn’t it? How is YOUR awakening going? Feeling in the dark about what we are talking about? That is fine, you’re coming along. Pissed off at the corruption and lies in the media? Good! You should be and your awakening is in full bloom. Is your radar for truth seem to be getting sharper and more trust-worthy? Ahh, now I know things are going to get really interesting for you.

Today’s guest is a regular and she always makes good radio. She’s also been at my side for the past 27 years or so. Enjoy!

Lisa Rezac Bio

My guest today is the beautiful, always insightful Lisa Rezac. Lisa is a fundraising auctioneer and the new Regional Field Director for the Washington State Republican party. Here is my interview with Lisa Rezac.

E133 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed listening in on the conversation in the Rezac household. We will be stepping away for a week to go recharge and get some sunshine and celebrate Easter. So no episode next week. We will resume our journey together on April 26th. I am really looking forward to the conversations we will be having.

 

Basecamp for Men E133: Our Joy is Our Strength

E133: Our Joy is Our Strength with Special Guest Walkyria Whitlock

 

E133 Introduction

I have grown to love how organically my episode’s arrive. Guests can seem to come out of thin air, popping up to have a conversation with me just as I am starting to get a bit anxious about how do I make my next one.

I am excited about the direction of the show. I can see where humanity is heading. The Hero’s path is lit before us. We are resourced for this journey. I know the conversation that I want to have. I can almost sense their form in the imaginal realm. Can you sense it as well? It is whispering to us.

My guest today arrived in this synchronistic fashion. A charming young women who I now see as a fellow seeker. Our conversation reminded me about something important. That our joy and sense of innocence and wonder are part of our gifts. The Divine LOVES that through this whole spiritual war that we have been a part of, we can still laugh and play and express tremendous joy and gratitude!

It’s incredible isn’t it. Humanity is truly astounding. We show our strength in many ways- our resilience and heart, our love and commitment, our deep loyalty to one another. And our Warrior spirit. All are undeniable.

But one aspect of strength that doesn’t often get mentioned is our capacity for joy and play. This dance with the Divine. For isn’t play and joy a sure sign of our faith- in God, in the Divine plan, in one another, and our own place in this emerging story.

If we can carry all the spiritual Warriors gifts AND not give up our child-like innocence and joy, what can’t we do together?

Thank you for riding shotgun with me. I have enjoyed our conversation and your insights on this incredible journey that we have all been on together.

Walkyria Whitlock Bio–

My guest today is Walkyria Whitlock. Walkeria is an author, yoga teacher, and a young woman who has followed her dreams, travelling to over 29 different countries. Her personal mission is to bring more joy to the world through the practice of gratitude. Here is my interview with Walkyria Whitlock.

E133 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed our time with Walkyria Whitlock. I love what she said about being action-oriented. That even when you are trying to figure out the direction or the next chapters of your life, be in action around things. I think this is really good advice for all sorts of people who are working through feeling stuck.

And her expression of joy being a sort of “thank you” for your life is great. I plan on using this very reminder myself as I also love to express joy and play in its many forms.

E130: Tony Rezac and the Hero’s Journey

 

E130 Introduction-

I was recently on Eric Zimmer’s excellent pod called The One You Feed. I highly recommend subscribing, if you have the bandwidth for another show. Eric is an excellent interviewer of his guests and is comfortable to hang out with, which is a necessary super-power amongst podcasters.

He was gracious enough to send me over the interview audio file so I could turn it into a Basecamp episode. Which is what I did here.

I love being in these sorts of conversations. Deep, authentic, humorous at times. I love talking to people that are willing to cut through the small talk and get down to what is really going on.

In this hour, we talk about my 2014 book Body and Soul: The Essential Handbook for Men. We also cover the challenges that men face, male archetypes and how they show up or not show up in our lives. And we talk a bit about my Life Renewal Program for Men, which I offer as an ongoing program.

Here is me on the other side of the conversation, so to speak, on The One You Feed with Eric Zimmer. I hope you enjoy it.
