The Sovereign Man Podcast

"If he's into it, I'm into it." - Ryan Michler on spending time with our sons.

Today’s guests are leaders among men and young men. They’re shining examples of how men and boys can show up as fathers and sons. They share stories of humility, respect and the powerful strength and learning that comes from growing as a family.

Ryan is the host of the Order Of Man podcast and his son, Brecken is the host of The Man In The Making - Men Are Forged podcast.

Brecken’s tips for a young man’s success plan:

1. Get involved in some form of fitness. Boys should work to be fit and healthy. Move your body to gain more confidence and fulfilment.
2. Love and spend time with your family.
3. Get involved with your church. Integrate reading scripture into every day.

Matt Conway is a man who’s learned the value of cutting through the bullshit and talking straight with other men. He’s lucky enough to have a few men in his life he can trust with some of the bigger issues that might come along. Not all men are so lucky, in fact far too few have even one good friend they can have meaningful conversations with to help keep them out of their heads and focused on the things that matter like family and integrity.

Matt is a husband and father. He has a long history of success in the sales world, working for the likes of Microsoft and other multi-national corporations. He eventually left the corporate world to focus on his own sales leadership business, helping multinational companies accelerate their sales and growth.

Expert action steps:

1. Introspection - determine exactly what your standards are for masculinity. Examples; health and family.
2. Once you have those laid out, determine what your genuine commitment vs your ego.

Igor Perett is a man who’s built a strong foundation with purpose and he’s been building on it ever since. At the moment, he focuses on being a good role model for his sons and his purpose is evolving as he studies psychology and psychotherapy so he can help his community.

Expert action steps:

1. If you don’t have a solidified purpose, take a moment to consider what’s important to you right. Start writing it own in only a few sentences. Memorize it. Make it a priority so you can live a full life.
2. Once you’ve solidified your purpose, going forward, only do the things that serve that purpose. Ask yourself, “does this serve my purpose?”. If not, move on to the next thing the does.

A man needs to face his challenges head-on. Having the courage to face people and make eye contact, regardless of the situation, demonstrates your strength of character and your dignity. It’s too easy to hide behind messaging apps or to just ghost people, but you’ll have to live with this version of yourself.

This episode is about helping men show up with everything they’ve got, even when the going gets tough.

A man has to be willing to look inside himself to see the truth and then do whatever work needs to be done to become a man of honour. Avi Nakash knows this work well. He serves men through transformational programs like Landmark Worldwide, and his own program, Gameday Training, where a distinction is made between living your life as a pro or living your life as an amateur. Another important distinction that every man can benefit from, is the difference between men and women. Avi believes that divorce rates would plummet if more men understood a few simple things that he and Nicky cover in this conversation.

Avi Nakash was a soldier with the Israel Defence Forces. He was a Landmark International leader and has been doing men’s work for several years. His Gameday Training program is designed to make men win at life. It’s an intense, men only, 3-Day bootcamp, followed by 12 months of individual and group coaching.
