We're BACK!!!  God Made Us to Know Him, to Love Him & to Serve Him!

Welcome to Restoring the Soul! In this episode, Michael and Peter Zaremba explore the essence of courage, not as an absence of fear, but as the willingness to take intentional action amidst it. Peter brings to light the profound acts of everyday bravery witnessed within his men's group, intertwining their discussions with the biblical narrative that emphasizes the value of such courage.

They also reveal that courage is woven into the small, everyday fabrics of our lives—be it through acts of vulnerability, trust, or the simple yet profound steps toward spiritual growth. Michael likens courage to a muscle that gets stronger with practice, a concept they both relate to the importance of being fully present, accepting the present moment as is, and taking life's meaningful risks.

What on earth does stress have to do with flowers?  Well, in this episode, Mark and Sarge make this unusual, but highly appropriate connection.  Are you one of those people who handle stress well?  What are your go-to stress relievers?  Or maybe you're one of those people who wouldn't identify as someone who handles stress well.  That's okay.  Tune in for an engaging and encouraging conversation about the good, the bad and the ugly sides of stress.

Have you ever stopped to consider your innate need for safety?  Those of us who tend to constantly battle fear in our lives can hopefully identify with this question.  But the truth is that we were all born with an innate need for safety and security.  Whether it's that innate need or an exacerbated need for safety due to some woundedness, trauma or simply extenuating life circumstances, feeling safe is a critical element of creating an environment that fosters authentic connection and community.  Unfortunately, so many of us avoid authentic connection and community because it just feels too risky.  Listen in as Sarge and Mark unpack why we tend to play it safe and how we can actually breakout and breakthrough to a whole new level of safety we never knew existed.

Do you have a tendency toward action or inaction?  The Bible says faith without works is dead.  Join Mark and Sarge as they unpack their self-proclaimed bias toward action as they reveal the ups, downs, lefts and rights of being born with this makeup.  Depending on who you ask, a bias toward action can be seen as a blessing or a curse, an affliction or a gift.  Much of this will depend on who you are and your own wiring.  Don't miss this insightful and practical episode...be encouraged, be challenged and prepare to move.

Barry Schoenfeld founded and runs Clear Vision Partners, an independent marketing consultancy, based in Palm Springs.  Before moving to Palm Springs in 2014, he held several executive roles in advertising agencies in New York and Los Angeles.

In 2012, he founded The California Community of Men ("CalComMen"), a global mens' community of over 10,000 men-who-love-men, who goal is to provide drug, alcohol, smoke and electronics free spaces for men to engage & connect more genuinely and more authentically. 

In addition, he teaches online at seven universities across the country, on subjects ranging from opera to archeology to travel.

He lives with his husband Ron, of 15 years.

"The California Community of Men is a unique community of heart-centered, passionate and caring men, 18-90+ of all colors of the rainbow, faith traditions, sizes, shapes & abilities, who create spiritual & social events, personal growth workshops, and our unique, joy-filled weekends we call "Community Camp," without formal committees, officers or bylaws. Our goal is to build a radically diverse & inclusive community of men-who-love-men, the likes of which is rarely seen in Southern California.  We align ourselves with some of the values, beliefs and consciousness of the Northern California Billys, and the Radical Faeries.

 CalComMen is the only mens community in SoCal that reachs out to, and warmly welcomes ALL men-who-love-men (gay, bi, trans, queer, cis & straight).  We are also the only men's community that is drug, alcohol, smoke and electronics-free, so that we can connect and engage in new and more meaningful ways, with far fewer distractions".

This week landed on a topic of great importance! 
Put your mask on first is something that we typically hear on a flight before take-off. But, what if as husbands we took the same frame of thought before hopping into a marriage.
What if, while we are already in a marriage we chose to make ourselves better and healthier so we could be the best versions of ourselves for our families?

I choose to believe that we have the ability to accomplish these kinds of goals.
This is what this community is about. We can support each other and have conversations about real things that are happening in our lives so we know there are others whom we can relate to. There are others we can communicate with and also learn from. There are others we can teach from our experiences and even some of the mistakes we've made.

Thank You to all of you who have been listening and those of you who are new. Check below for all the ways you can reach out to us.

We hope you enjoy!

DAVID RICHARDS, like many of us,  found out a lot about himself as a result of the pandemic. David's story is pretty amazing. Due to the pandemic, David made a shift from running a school to starting a podcast and just recently launching his own website. He is an educator. He is a coach. He is a calming force. He leads a Men's Group that I am a part of with other men around the country. The goal. Moving toward being your "Authentic Self."

In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard gets candid with David about the pandemic, the podcast, his website, and education. "David started 10 schools in 10 years. That information alone lets you know that he has a good idea of what he is doing. He definitely is an entrepreneur that has found many ways to help others and along the way, discover more about himself.  Our conversation hits THREE areas: 

•  Segment ONE 💥 begins with our connection through Buzzardball and a men's group that originated during the pandemic.  David describes the origin of the Men's Group and shares his background in education. 
• Segment TWO 💥 focuses on the origin of David's Podcast "A Conscious Way Forward." Richards discusses how the pandemic played a role and the power of the Facebook Group he created that really helped launch everything. He describes the great conversations and topics he has covered and finishes by addressing how we come out of dealing with a pandemic and the chaos of this world.
• Segment THREE 💥 highlights David's work in education. His early days in the Bay Area starting schools and teaching in Oakland, California. We discuss Growth Public Schools and the Montessori model for education. A lot of great insight in this segment. And, as usual, we finish out with Rapid Fire.

Here are my favorite HIGHLIGHTS  ...
▪️1. His overall story where he discussed tapping into dealing with his childhood trauma coupled with having Bells Palsy. He recognized it and dealt with it head on.
▪️2. His view on education is fascinating. When you hear him talk about the system that has been in place for so many years, you realize that there has to be a better way and David offers that solution.
▪️3. His message of WE ALL WANT TO BE SEEN AND HEARD. Simple. To the point. And so true.

Our Connection |  Dave and I met a few years ago when he was a coach in my Buzzardball Youth Basketball Program. Due to our connection, he reached out to me during the pandemic to join a men's group that I have been a part of for the past nine months.

In the first episode of the Starve the Ego Feed the Soul Podcast I talk to my longtime friend Matthew Dugger. Matt is a recent husband, father, aspiring actor, writer, director, recovering addict from alcohol, and a musician. 

In this episode Matt and I dive deep into alcohol and drug culture in the US. We chat about his personal life story with addiction, using drugs and alcohol to combat loneliness and a low self-worth as a young man.  How he has learned to practiced self-love and come to appreciate the balance between pursuit of a career in Hollywood, his family, and his goals to work on himself throughout the process.

From love, to marriage, to friendship, to addiction this discussion is jam-packed with kernels of goodness. 

I hope you enjoy,

Our guest today was born and raised in Hillsboro OR and found his love for photography in high school. During his senior year, he took on photography as a senior project and then started shooting for friends and family. Things really didn’t start to take off until Roland built a website and started to take things seriously. Little by little he started to gain traction and it was his side hustle for many years. 

After a divorce in 2016 he had some downtime in business while he had to self-reflect on his life and take a hard look at who he was and where he wanted to improve as a person. He currently operates Roland Salas photography, a men’s only group,  and has just launched the My Father podcast.

On today's episode, I speak with three men (Michael, Danny, & Todd) about what it was like to grow up with the pressure of the masculine archetype. Through embracing the feminine, we found balance and restored our natural, authentic way. I wanted to record this special, 2 hour sacred conversation about our experiences in hopes to give others a reference of what it looks like when men come together, talk about their truest feelings and experiences, and create space that is receptive, loving, and healing.

So often, men are characterized and pigeon-holed into specific roles that limit our full selves. I've held space for many men in my practice and in men's circles and hear the same stories over and over again about the desire to be more feminine, more balanced, and engage in intimacy and affection with other men.

The father wound runs deep in most of us because they grew up without a compass for being an integrated man, and so we're left with society's story about men. The rockstar, the superhero, the knight in shining armor - cinematic drag kings depicting one aspect of maleness, masculinity, and power & magnifying as the normal standard of male.

So, as we come into our male bodies, we fall short in comparison and experience a ton of shame and competition. Our male peers, going through the same pressures, project their own pain onto the boys who are the most unusual, the most feminine, and the most vulnerable.

The healing comes from the non-binary. Not being masculine, or feminine. Instead, letting those words show up as energy that comes, that goes, and that shape shifts, rather than attaching these polarities to our identities and having to live up to one while we suppress the other.
