A few months ago I was at breakfast with the great Duey Freeman, chewing on some bacon and talking about the future of the Nation. He asked me a million dollar question: “How do you now define an UNcivilized Man?” I answered, “Well, he’s raw…he’s real…” And Duey finished my sentence, “And he’s relational.” In this short solo episode I breakdown what this means and how you can apply it in your life starting today.

It happens. It happens to all of us. In fact it’s happened to me a few times in the past two years as well — that terrible feeling of being lost in your life. In this short and sweet solo episode I share how I got myself back on track after getting jostled pretty hard by some deaths and a near death accident. I know these ideas work as I’ve also now taught them in numerous workshops. Enjoy and please share this with someone in your life. Cheers, Traver

Men, there’s a big misconception out there that ferocity and passion are aggressive if they’re displayed by men. Fierceness is a key ingredient to your UNcivilized life.

In this short solo episode I break down the two steps you can start to take immediately to live an UNcivilized life — ie. THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS. I’ll give them to you here but you’re still going to have to do the work yourself. Or another way to say that is, “You GET to go on the ride of your life if you do this.” The steps are: 1) Figure out what you ACTUALLY want 2) Go build that Yep, once you make this your way of life all kinds of amazing and challenging things happen for you and to you, but is there any other kind of life you’d rather live? It’s an UNcivilized life for me. Forever.  Enjoy and please share this with someone in your life.

Why do people fear darkness? The answer lies in its uncontrollability. Darkness stirs up the deepest corners of our minds, like a blank canvas for our deepest fears. It's like being trapped in a horror movie with no escape. In this second part of our "Darkness" series, Traver Boehm and Katie Sroka are diving deep into the idea of darkness as an entity, unraveling the reasons behind people's profound fear of it. Looking ahead, there's something on the horizon. As Traver approaches his 49th birthday, he's got some big plans. What's he got in store? Will he face the darkness once more? You'll have to tune in to this episode to discover it all. As for you, could you handle an experience like this? Let us know in the comments!

Just imagine, 28 days in total darkness – now that's something wild, right?  Well, get ready to hear a wild journey through an interview.  In this episode, things take an interesting turn as the interviewer becomes the interviewee. Our dear Katie Sroka takes the host chair and delves into Traver's profound experience: spending 28 days in total darkness. For those not in the loop, in 2016, Traver found himself locked in a pitch-black room in Guatemala, an event that would dramatically reshape his life. Throughout those demanding 28 days, he grappled with solitude and the absence of light, pushing his mental strength to its limits. In that time, he battled to keep his sanity, wrestling with questions of who he was and what life meant to him. His understanding of mortality deepened as he contemplated his own life while immersed in the abyss. Today, Traver no longer dreads death; he embraces it as a companion and motivator, propelling him to make the most of every moment in life. The darkness, once intimidating, has now become his home. This is Part 1 of 2. WHAT YOU WILL HEAR: [03:28] The alternative perspective: Katie's viewpoint. [09:51] What did Traver need to do during those days to maintain his mental well-being? [14:39] How did the experience of darkness impact Traver after he left it? [17:13] Traver's connection with death and his current perspective on it.

Howdy folks. In this short solo episode I talk about one of the blocks many people have when it comes to social media and the self development space — making the person they follow into a Guru. After years spent in the trenches of the Self Development world, I can tell you — we are all human. And many people are not what they seem. At all. Give this 10 minutes of your time and you’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on who you follow. Enjoy and please share this with someone in your life. Cheers, Traver

It's the third and final week for my team to interview me. This week it's Erin, lovingly referred to as the Director of Traver (we'll explain that title in the podcast). Together we dove into what made and still makes Traver UNcivilized, and a few specific questions from a woman's perspective of how to connect with men. Our conversation perfectly rounds out this series and I hope you love it as much as I did. Cheers,  Traver

It's week two for the Team at UNcivilized to interview me! This week it's Malina, our Director of Operations, and let's just say she isn't thrilled about speaking into a microphone. But like a typical member of the UNcivilized world, she showed up full stop. She's asked me some very deep questions, in typical Malina fashion, and I just love her for it. She made me think and she made me feel. Enjoy! Cheers, Traver

The people who work at Team UNcivilized are as committed to helping end the suffering in men to help the suffering caused by men as I am. For the next few weeks, you'll get to hear them interview me. First up is Denise. Our Director of Design, Denise does so much more than that. Sure, she was sweating through half this recording, but she also asked me some incredible questions about my own background. Some of it might surprise you. Cheers, Traver

In this live class with my Kill The Nice Guy Group, I dive head first into the power of figuring out your needs SPECIFICALLY as a man, understanding and expressing what you want in this world, then having the healthy boundaries to make sure your life is in integrity. This is a hard hitting class, recorded with 50 men on a call so please excuse the casual nature. Needs, wants, and boundaries are beyond important for any man, but especially if you want to live an extraordinary life. Enjoy and please share this with someone in your life. Cheers, Traver

We hear a LOT about Nice Guys, especially around the UNcivilized. Many men come to men’s work after discovering that they themselves are Nice Guys and this is their entree point onto the path of becoming whole as a man. But what is the female equivalent of Nice Guy? And how do you spot it whether you’re in the dating world or not. In this short solo episode I break down the Good Girl, how to spot her, and why, just like the Nice Guy, what sounds great at first…doesn’t last.

In this quick and dirty solo episode I’m answering a question I got on Instagram about what exactly boundaries are and how to set them and keep them. Boundaries are the special sauce of relationships. With them your relationships will thrive and can last forever. Without them you will slowly build up resentment and until you explode. Trust me as I speak from personal experience on this. I’m diving into how to understand boundaries more deeply, why you need them, and the magic sentence that you can use to enforce them.

We men often don’t stop and ask ourselves, “Whose rules am I playing by? Are they mine? Do they work for me? What if I changed them?” In this short solo episode I share a conversation I had with a man after Jiujitsu who has changed his entire outlook on life just by questioning whose rules he was living by. This is especially important for Nice Guys who often aren’t playing by ONE set of someone else’s rules but changing depending on who is in front of them. This episode is hard hitting and will help you shift both your perspective and your actions to be more aligned with you want to be! Enjoy.

So many men are stuck thinking in this one certain way — I have to make everyone else happy before I’ll have a good life. And that’s a death sentence to your hopes, dreams, and confidence. In this live call with the men in my Kill The Nice Guy Group I dive into how to shift this limiting thought into a powerful one. One that will change every way you exist in the world, and how the world interacts with you.

I wish I had a more easily understood term for the words Covert Contracts, but I don’t…yet. And — everyone has these secret, one-way agreements in our relationships that slowly build resentment, erode trust, and actually prevent us from getting the very needs we’re desperate to get met from doing just that. In this solo episode I break down what a Covert Contract is, how you can spot them in your relationship, and how you can STOP using them and instead speak your needs directly.

Fear of rejection shows up in many less than obvious ways. It can be the difference between speaking your mind and keeping quiet, sharing your post or deleting before anyone gets a chance to read it. Many people believe there’s a switch you can flip and suddenly this deep fear will just disappear. This is not the case that I have found. However, there are actions you can take and frames you can adopt to make your fear of rejection go from a huge burden in your life to a roommate who lives alone in your basement. Give this episode a listen if you’re dealing with some fear of rejection. Please share this as well. Cheers, Traver  WHAT YOU WILL HEAR [1:00] How fear of rejection differs between men and women.

Life is a short and unique journey that should be cherished and maximized to its fullest potential. It is crucial not only to prioritize our own personal growth but also to assist others in doing the same. In the modern era, we have become more conscious of the significance of mental health. However, despite being familiar with the subject, we often neglect our own internal struggles. Mental health plays a fundamental role in many people's lives, and it is one of the main reasons why some men decide to take their own lives. It is disheartening to contemplate the lost lives that could have been saved if these individuals had sought help or received support from their loved ones. In today's episode, we will have Anson Whitmer and Tyler Sheaffer as our guests. They will shed light on the importance of prioritizing mental health and introduce us to an application called Mental, specifically designed for men with a focus on mental health care. Let us approach this topic with the seriousness it deserves and make a conscious effort to take care of our mental well-being. Seeking support is not a sign of weakness but a courageous act undertaken by strong individuals. It requires adopting a "badass" attitude, characterized by bravery and a willingness to confront and address our mental health challenges. ABOUT ANSON WHITMER When he was young, two close male relatives of his took their own lives. This experience motivated him to pursue a PhD in Neuroscience and develop the Calm app. Anson has personally witnessed how our current societal dialogue on mental health fails to resonate with men. It lacks a focus on men's specific needs. Considering that men account for 80% of suicides, addressing this crisis requires innovative approaches to support men's mental well-being. Out of the thousands of mental health apps available, Mental is the first one that has been designed from the ground up with men in mind. ABOUT  TYLER SHEAFFER Tyler Sheaffer is a product engineer who played a pivotal role in building the Calm app. He dedicated his skills and expertise to the development of the app. Additionally, Tyler is an avid ocean paddler, engaging in this activity on a daily basis.

So many men come to me AFTER a breakup in shock that it happened. The conversation almost immediately starts with, “And I did everything for her, especially all the things her ex’s didn’t do.” And I know this man was doomed from the start. Why?

In this solo episode I outline the Superman Complex in dating and how you can either shift it if you’re in a relationship, or avoid it in your next one.

Brothers, this kind of thinking and messaging is seductive because it’s easy. It’s also lazy. Being a man means being on an ever changing spectrum that requires you to ask yourself questions and adjust along the way. In this solo episode I break this down further and also introduce you to our Behind The Masks of Men series.

Postpartum depression is common among women but can affect men too. We have come a long way in science to understand the impact the arrival of a new baby has on the parent's mental health. Although hormonal and physical changes can predispose pregnant mothers to mood swings that can lead to depression, supportive fathers are also at risk for it. To dive into this subject, the acupuncturist and co-founder of the Council of Fathers, Noah Goldstein, will join us in this episode. If you're struggling with men's postpartum depression, this episode may be helpful for you. Remember, you're not alone. ABOUT NOAH GOLDSTEIN Becoming a father has been one of the most significant rites of passage he has experienced. Noah spent most of his adult life trying to understand how to live a richer, wholesome, and fulfilling life.

In this solo episode I explore the single most important sentence a man can say to himself and know about himself — I am a man. This conversation stems from the hundreds of men I’ve worked with in my life who were told that “being a man” wasn’t important or was a secondary or tertiary thought. It is not. It is primary. And when it becomes so in your life, everything changes.
