The Authentic Man Podcast with David Chambers

Brian Jenkins’ work broadly started about five years ago, just after he and his wife had two weddings for both sides of the family. Then Brian found himself really doing a lot, trying to prove himself as a husband. A little before the wedding, he had another ambitious project that he was putting a lot of effort into, and after coming back from his honeymoon, he felt really exhausted and burned out. That spiralled into depression, self-loathing and pushed him straight into survival mode. Brian recognised that he was in bad shape. There were very few moments where he felt happy. Everything felt like a struggle for him. That was the part where he knew something had to change. 

That sent him off on a journey to self-discovery. After getting into his first men's space, he found a coach and mentor. He had to face a lot of things and reconcile different visions he had about his life - Career, Financial, Personal, and Relational. But the thing that rocked his world and vision of becoming a father was when he received the news that he and his wife couldn’t have kids.

Ahmad Jooma is a curious observer of human behaviour, focusing on life fulfilment as an artist and coach. 

Over a decade of personal growth, he's identified his superpower—emotional resilience—forged through self-exploration and experiences. 

Ahmad enables children and men in accessing and expressing their emotions, guiding them past obstacles. 

By authentically sharing his vulnerabilities and drawing from his background as a care director, he empowers others to develop their authenticity, vulnerability, and emotional resilience.

Ahmad Jooma and I were doing this podcast together back in the days when it was called The Authentic Dating. Since he stepped away he went on to explore the concept of fear and how we interact with fear. The concept that he came up with is a character called Shook Man. It's a name and a face behind that little voice in our head that tells us what we can and can't do, telling us a million different things that are going to go wrong.

Key topics include: 

⭐️ The Many Shades of Fear & How It Can Show Up in Our Lives

⭐️ Seeking Validation Outside of Ourselves & The Need to Outgrow This Phase

⭐️ The Fear of Initiation and The Call to Continually Step Into the Unknown

⭐️ The Fear of Commitment, Fear of Rejection, Fear of Failure

⭐️ Visualizing the Potential Future of Staying In Our Comfort Zones

⭐️ The Sense of Safety and Playing Small

⭐️ The Importance of Cultivating Joy As an Antidote to Our Fears

⭐️ Self Acceptance - The Biggest Challenge of Feeling Joy

⭐️ How To Connect to Ourselves & Face Our Inner Shook Man

⭐️ Creating a Structure That Will Support Us On The Journey Through Fear

⭐️ The Inevitability of Pain & Optionality of Suffering

⭐️ Working with Kids on Fears and Developing Emotional Awareness

Alex Mischka is an embodied men's work facilitator. He is also doing intimacy relationship and sexuality coaching. He loves helping people return to their hearts, understand their blueprints, their true nature, and how they operate as beings in intimacy and relationships.

From an early age, the archetype of the lover from Jungian psychology was strongly expressed in his personality. He had this kind of pulse, and it took him a long time to go through his rite of passage. As a man who has lost his father at quite an early age, he was quite lost. His 20s were the lost years, a lot of drug addiction, confusion, debt and wrecked relationships. This led Alex to his dark night of the soul, where he realized the need to fix all that was happening, which marked the beginning of his healing work.

Initially, the lens of dating, social connection and especially how to really connect with women was the driver of this work. Then he discovered David Deida, things like shadow work, Carl Young, the archetypal realm and the inner child. So he began training in a number of modalities, and here he is today, about five years down the line, doing the incredible work that he does.

Key topics include: 

⭐️ The Men’s Experience with Sexuality & the Lost Touch with the Essence  of Feeling

⭐️ Jungian Archetypes - The Lover, The Warrior, The King

⭐️ The Noble Art of Seduction, a Co-Creative Dance

⭐️ Relationships, Conscious Communication and Healthy Relating 

⭐️ Masculine Conditioning, Waiting to the Last Moment Before Seeking Help

⭐️ Sexual Leadership, Active Listening, & Letting Go the Need to Fix Things

⭐️ The 3 Stages of Needs - Selfish Needs, Couple’s Needs, The Needs of the Present Moment

⭐️ Dark and Light Masculine & Feminine Energy 

⭐️ Surrendering to the Experience of the Submissive Role

⭐️ The Beauty of Erotic Energy, Eros, Erotic Blueprints & Understanding Sexual Needs

⭐️ Periods & Menstrual Cycles 

⭐️ Shadow Work

In this week's episode, I am doing something a little different. I take two critical moments from Arsenal's draw with Fulham and use them as examples of how we react and act in our dating lives and relationships, especially in the face of rejection, fear of making mistakes, fear of failure and how we respond to things not going our way.

She is currently transitioning into a facilitation role - facilitating group experiences. She has really been to the depths of the darkness with her clients who have been navigating the quagmire of hell that is sexual trauma, and when it's causing challenges and discomfort in their life. Her approach is leaning towards more spiritual than physiological, and she has seen amazing results from that.

In this week's mini-episode, I talk about an area that I see that men are hugely underdeveloped in, and that hurts dating lives and relationships. And that is self and emotional expression. 

As If you struggle to express what you feel and you struggle with expressing who you are, creating a deep connection and a loving and harmonious relationship is pretty much impossible.

In this week’s podcast episode, I am joined by one of my clients and friends, Samuel Adams.

Samuel was born at 23 weeks, lives with cerebral palsy, was bullied all through school because of his disability, and spent 4 years looking for a job after university due to disability prejudice but even through all that hardship and adversity, he is one of the most determined, focused, positive and loving people I have ever met.

Samuel is a coach very much focused on helping individuals to see the possibility that they have within them, that they maybe haven't been shown before or haven't been allowed to see within themselves. He shines light on what moves those blocks of damaging thinking and shows what’s out there, which is anything that’s possible for people. 

So many of us are being held back by our assumptions about life, the thoughts that we think holding us outside of us. Samuel has a real talent for guiding and helping people move past that into a new paradigm of a land of possibilities.

Key topics include: 

⭐️ Living With A Disability

⭐️ Teenage Period, Going to School and Dealing with Bullying 

⭐️ The Power of Gratitude 

⭐️ The Support And Encouragement Coming From Our Parents 

⭐️ Unconditional Love And Having Someone to Keep You In Check 

⭐️ Facing Loss The of a Parent

⭐️ Looking For a Job and Handling Failure & Rejection

⭐️ The Power of Belief and The Attitude of Not Giving Up

⭐️ Limiting Thinking and Moving Past It

⭐️ Commitment To Create The Life You Want 

⭐️ How Coaching Can Change The Coach

In this week’s podcast episode, I am joined by my partner and lover, Asa to talk about how to make an anxious/avoidant relationship thrive.

Asa Baav is a dating, intimacy and relationship coach initiating high-achieving women to reclaim their power, awaken their authentic selves and attract and grow conscious relationships

She started to do her coaching work about seven years ago when she came to a point in her life where she had a full-on breakdown. After over-applying herself in everything and being completely disconnected from her body and emotions, she was forced into some important reflection time. She had a very successful career, yet in her love life, she was constantly attracting unavailable men, self-sabotaging healthy relationships and finding herself being attracted only to men who treated her really poorly.

And together, we are partners, lovers and couples coaches, guiding couples out of arguments, disconnection, misunderstandings and broken communication into deeper and deeper compassion and understanding of each other and reigniting the passion for each other and new levels of love.

Key topics include: 

⭐️ Attachment Styles Theory

⭐️ What the Avoidant Attachment Style Looks like, characteristics and traits  

⭐️ What the Anxious Attachment Style Looks like, characteristics and traits  

⭐️ How Can You Create a Successful Relationship When You Are Anxious/Avoidant

⭐️ Strategies to Connect Deeply to Ask For What We Need and Understand the Other

⭐️ The Fear of Rejection 

⭐️ How We’ve Seen the Avoidant/Anxious Traits Come Up in Our Own Relationship

⭐️ Feeling our Emotions, Connecting to Our Needs, and Speaking Them Out

⭐️ Handling Uncertainty & Having Your Own Comforts

In this week’s episode, you get me. You get a raw, honest and from-the-heart episode about my journey as an avoidant and commitment-phobe man and everything that I have learnt and now coach my clients through.

Let me give you an introduction to me & my avoidance because it might not be that obvious. 

You’ve seen me through the podcast, and my Instagram and you might think - “David is an open-hearted, sharing, vulnerable, emotional guy”.

But I wasn’t always this way. It was a long time where I didn’t want to say how I felt, I’d avoided certain conflict situations, I’ve even refused to be in relationships for a while. I just wouldn’t get into relationships even though I’ve met women who are truly amazing, and lovely and wanted depth, but I was just - “No, relationships that are worth it I want them to go away. I don’t want commitment”. 

Key topics include: 

⭐️ Dating & Relationships with Avoidant Men, Common Characteristics and Behaviors

⭐️ How an Avoidant Man Can Create Healthy Relationships and Friendships

⭐ Avoiding Expressing Fears, Needs, Worries. Down Playing Our Emotions

⭐️ Lack of Empathy for Us and Other People’s Emotional Experiences

⭐️ Fault-Finding, Being Highly Critical of the People We Meet  

⭐️ Fear of Being Dependent on Other People, and Handling Rejection

⭐️ Facing Our Loneliness & The Need of Alone Time

⭐️ The Behaviour of Cheating in an Relationship

⭐️ Avoiding To Take Responsibility for Our Whole Well Being 

⭐️ The Push-Pull, Hot-Cold, Being Mysterious Dynamic

In this week's mini-episode, I am exploring self-leadership, which I see so many men lacking. 

So many men come to me feeling lost, stuck and hopeless; with all of those, I see a low capacity for self-leadership. Once that is cultivated, their lives radically change for the better.

In this week's mini-episode, I explore something I have seen myself and many men I have worked with struggle with, the fear of being a masculine man.

In the world's current climate, when men and masculinity are often attacked and seen negatively, I see an increasing number of men shun manliness and masculinity. 

But I explain:

👉🏽 Why men feel like this

👉🏽 The positives traits that we need to develop and embody to use masculinity for healing and positive change in the world

👉🏽 How men can cultivate these qualities

In this week's episode, I am joined by an incredible man I am lucky enough to be able to call a friend, Ranjit Patel. Join us as we dive into the complexities of fatherhood and going through IVF.

After a long journey, Ranjit went through the corporate world from growing up in a Council Estate with very limited money, he is now coaching parents in how to have the best possible experience of parenting. He’s a dad to twins and had quite a journey going through four and a half years of IVF.

When his twins arrived, it was amazing because he’s been waiting for them for a long time, but also an absolutely crazy period of his life. Back then, he needed someone to prepare him for what this experience was going to be like. Now he has lots of conversations with people about what parenting entails. 

Key topics include: 

⭐️ The Journey from Chasing Money to Creating Value

⭐️ What can Hard Work and Good Ethics Get Us To

⭐️ Having Positive Role Models

⭐️ Making Mindful Life Decisions & Taking Responsibility 

⭐️ Shifting From a Scarcity Mindset to an Abundant One
