There’s a wildness in men that we as a society don’t acknowledge — to the detriment of us all. When a man has space for his wild expressions and a connection to both the wild inside of him and the wilderness and natural elements around him, his whole life changes. The flavor of intimacy he brings to his partnerships, his work, and his creative endeavors all becomes richer and more healing. In this solo episode, I dive into the wild. Join me.

Do you live in the past, present, or future? Joining again for another episode of the UNcivilized Podcast, today's guest is GS Youngblood. He is here to present his new book, The Art of Embodiment for Men, where he talks about how an embodiment practice can change our lives and help us build our masculine core to become more powerful and relational men. We will hear how these practices can lead us to have more loving, respectful relationships, with less fighting and more sex. In addition, we will learn about the differences between the practice of embodiment and meditation. ⁠Take our free 60-second quiz to find out if your Nice Guy tendencies are sabotaging your relationships⁠. ABOUT GS YOUNGBLOOD GS coaches men in relationships on how to live, love, and lead from their Masculine core. He specializes in "nice guys" who are with strong women. His teachings combine deep embodiment work with the framework of the Masculine blueprint from his book "The Masculine in Relationship." His writings are filtered through the laboratory of his and his clients' real-world, long term relationships (including the successes and spectacular failures) to see what actually works and what doesn't. Through this lens of Masculine leadership, he also pulls in principles from a variety of fields: psychology, martial arts, tango, meditation, and BDSM. In his past life, GS was a high tech executive in Sales and Marketing for 16 years, including founding and selling a company. The leadership practices of Silicon Valley, based on clarity and inspiration rather than control, are a major influence on the model of Masculine leadership he shares with his clients.

Should social media have warning ads like cigarette packs? We all know the bright side of social networks where we share memes, tell stories, upload photos, memories, and help us grow professionally, but not everything is sunshine and rainbows. Social media have become an unstoppable monster where criticism, abuse, and the discharge of hate have increased more and more, hiding in anonymity on many occasions. In this episode, I had a conversation with Seerut Chawla. She defends the importance of talking with responsibilities on social networks and using it to deliver messages of conscience intelligently. After living the culture of cancellation on both sides, today, she tries to warn others of its consequences. We will talk about how the use of social media affects us individually and collectively, the main character syndrome, responsibility, and trauma. In addition, we will discuss the differences between trauma, wounding, and pain. You who are reading me from the internet, don't miss this episode! ABOUT SEERUT CHAWLA She works using an integrative model (which means incorporating different therapeutic styles) depending on the client and the circumstances. Her main modality is psychodynamic psychotherapy which is derivative of the psychoanalytic tradition.That can sound a little intimidating, but the basic premise of this work is helping people to understand what has happened so that they can better understand what is happening in the here and now, and then make meaningful change in their lives.

How can a person with no criminal record become a mass murderer, killing seventy-seven people and injuring hundreds more? This story captured the attention of today's guest Unni Turrettini. The lawyer decided to investigate a little further the murder committed by Anders Behring Breivik and found the factor that led this now 43-year-old man to commit this terrorist attack; loneliness.

"The driver who hit me got two years in prison. But I got a life sentence." Those were the words of today's guest, Andrew Bernstein, in an essay for Outside magazine in 2021. After suffering a car accident, breaking 35 bones, dropping into a coma, and becoming paraplegic, Andrew sees his experience as a new beginning. Learning to live in a new body is not easy. It means facing new challenges, people's looks, a different level of interaction with others, among many things he did not have to deal with before. Today, this incredible man will tell us his story and what people with disabilities go through daily. He'll even share what it's like to go back into the dating world and become vulnerable about his story from the very first conversation. Remember, disabled people are just like everyone else.

Seven years ago tonight, I made one of the best decisions of my life —  to quit drinking alcohol. Here’s the most surprising thing to most people about this: I’m not an alcoholic, nor was I one at the time. In fact, I wasn’t even considered a heavy drinker and can’t tell you the last time I had gotten drunk. But I drank what was common for a man my age in the civilized paradigm, a few beers throughout the week and more on weekends. Nothing crazy, but it added up. Quitting drinking is and can be one of the most powerful choices you can make on your path to authenticity, full expression, and making presence your super power.

The Imposter haunts us all. Myself included. Or at least he used to. I remember a few years back doing the first class of a six class online workshop and anxiously walking around my house afterward waiting for the emails to come in from all of the men who were on the call wanting their money back! The emails never came…but I also reached out to my good friend Jeremy who said, “Show me the evidence from your old classes where everyone quits on you after the first call. If there’s no evidence there, assume there won’t be any here.” He was right and my bout with The Imposter was done for the day. It led me to look deeply at my own fears and insecurities and know you have the same opportunity when yours arises. In this episode we dive into your Imposter Syndrome, and how you can learn to manage and learn from them.

Would you forgive a criminal? Today's guest is a man who undertook the task of visiting prisoners and getting to know them and their histories. Years have passed since William Fraser started his foundation to help people, especially those who remain in jail for misdemeanors. William believes that with support, coaching, and making a change in the employment crisis that his country is going through, it is possible to prevent these people from falling back into the same paths. In this episode, we bring this fascinating topic to the table. Do you think we can prevent criminals from going back to prison? ABOUT WILLIAM FRASER Will is an ex-professional rugby player for Saracens RFC. Will joined the Saracens Academy in 2005 aged just 14 and was a member of the famed 'Class of 08,' alongside the likes of Owen Farrell & Jamie George. After a ten-year playing career, unfortunately, he was forced to retire from playing in 2017 as a result of a neck injury. In 2020, Will took his first entrepreneurial step in launching 100 & First. This foundation was born from the realization of the power of incredible real-life experiences and how (if told in the right way) the learnings from them apply to any person or environment. The only difference is the context in which they are applied.

If we think about the problem that men currently face in society, what would it be? According to Johnny King's opinion, he thinks of the unhealed wounds caused by parents, especially the father figure in our lives. After a year of coaching, he concluded that we must all begin to heal our wounds to enjoy a new life where peace, happiness, and balance rule our life and become the king of our kingdom. Johnny's story is interesting since after hating his father for many years, a confession changed everything and gave a 180-degree turn in their relationship, making him his best friend. A story that will make us understand that forgiveness is the best way to heal. About Johnny King Before Johnny King became a transformational coach for men to help them reach their highest potential, he first had to discover his own. Amidst the recession of 2010, Johnny was broke: $35,000 in debt, jobless, and picking up the pieces of a failed marriage. He thought he was done but, little did he know it was just the start of his journey. Over the next few years, Johnny built multiple successful businesses.  Now he leads a men's group and produces a podcast.

He's now teaching others those tools so you can too own your day, realize your dreams, and truly become the King or Queen of your kingdom.

It's okay to have feelings. It's okay to cry. The only thing that is not okay is to hide what you feel just because "men don't cry." We live in a society that taught men to be this stereotype of strong and dominant macho men. But, what does it mean to be a man? There is no single concept; there are millions, so do not cling to one. When starting his way through the man's work, today's guest Dene Maria Sebastiana discovered that he had a wound that he had never healed; a father wound. A life-changing initiation (according to Dene's words) led him to help men open their hearts, heal and live fully. Today you will hear this pleasant conversation where we will develop topics such as man work and everything related to it. We will touch on an important point, such as pain and why we should allow ourselves to feel it. ABOUT DENE MARIA SEBASTIANA (Dennis Mead-Shikaly) was born and raised in New York, and now lives in Tucson, AZ. He is a soul coach, teacher, facilitator, shaman, and leader emeritus. Dene works with people who truly desire an in-depth look at their lives, and who are willing to break through their old, unconsciously embedded patterns. The intention is to integrate, evolve, and live fully in these radically changing times. Dene brings deep caring and compassion along with a multi-level capacity to get to the heart of the matter. He believes that the alignment of head-heart-gut-sex/creativity will always lead to right action: clear, compassionate, effective.

When we fall, we have two options, to keep on the ground or stand up and turn it into a new opportunity. After being one of the main heads of a multimillion-dollar company, today's guest, Rick Ellis, in his mid 50's lost everything. A martial arts artist determined to confront his truth. Rick began his path of recreating himself, mastering jiu-jitsu, and opening his YouTube channel, The Art of Skill. Today Rick will share with us his wisdom. We will dive into transitions, why he needed to target his content to his male audience, and how he teaches people to be their higher selves. He is undoubtedly a man to admire, who leaves us the following message: "Be that guy that at 57, 56 years old, literally loses everything and stand up thinking, what the fuck am I gonna do when I grow up?" Enjoy the episode. ABOUT RICK ELLIS Rick Ellis has had an eclectic career as a musician, audio engineer, visual designer, programmer, and software entrepreneur.

Being a mother is a different experience from the father one. Women have a laborious job of creating life within themselves, and this can be a traumatic experience from pregnancy to giving birth. So the father, partner, or husband has to play the supporting role. In this episode, our guest Kimberly Ann Johnson explains how these traumas can affect life as a couple, from sexuality to intimacy. In addition, she will talk to us about how we can heal the trauma related to our genitals and the lack of empathy regarding rest or recovery from birth for the sake of progress.

How can some people be so blinded by a cult? This episode is full of controversy and mystery. Due to all the death threats this man has received, we had to leave his name anonymous. So, we will utterly name this as the "McDojo" episode. A man passionate about martial arts and helping others did the heroic action of showing the darkest events lived in the martial arts schools, earning the hatred of people who see the world of martial arts as everything right and good in this life. An organization that, according to our guest, does not have a government body. That's why sexual violence, and pedophilia are some of the perversions frequently performed. ABOUT MCDOJO Rob has been training in martial arts for over 24 years and has dedicated the last 9 years of exposing Mcdojos.

Entering the world of pornography as an actor can sometimes be out of necessity or fun, but getting out of the stigmas and labels people create about you is not easy. Today's guest is a former porn actor that after more than 20 years in the industry, he decided to abandon it and teach men how to have a better sex life. You know what they say, "Practice makes the master." Discover in this episode the myths and truths about the porn industry. ⁠Take our free 60-second quiz to find out if your Nice Guy tendencies are sabotaging your relationships⁠. ABOUT ERIK EVERHARD My name is Erik Everhard, I’m an Author and Men’s coach. My specialty is helping men by teaching them elite level sexual skills so they can have confidence with women. My journey to sexual mastery has been a unique one, you see for the last 22 years I’ve been one of the top Adult film stars in the world, and that’s been no accident. No, there were no crazy parties, there was no hedonism, from my very first scene I treated my career exactly like a professional athlete. I spent my time learning and studying women in REAL LIFE and throughout every sexual encounter I had. I figured out the bio-hacks to my own body, out of necessity, as my job and livelihood depended on it. I discovered mental hacks to quell performance anxiety, last longer in the bedroom, secret techniques that could get women off time after time, special diet and supplementation, and more. After over 5000 women….i felt I had cracked the code. The process of peeling back the layers of my identity, my fears, my hopes, and my dreams was a painful but necessary one. Then, wanting to go deeper into what my ultimate purpose was, I started working with the shamanic plant medicine Ayahuasca. And this has led me down the path where you are meeting me now, a path of service where I can help you to overcome your shortcomings in the bedroom.
