We’re so focused on finding relief in the future that we’re forgetting about the moment we’re living in — now.

Our culture and its expanding arena of attention-grabbers like Facebook and Twitter make it more challenging to just have a glass of wine or a simple meal. For instance, we’re finding it increasingly necessary to eat AND read email AND watch TV.

Robert works with guys who have the balls to make the changes to make their lives better. His work focuses primarily on the body, as men tend to get “stuck in their heads” and cut off from their feelings. Some women can feel this and may experience the man to be less trust-able and less desirable because of it.

The “Friend Zone” is the place men go when they are not in touch with our true power. Masters clarifies that power does not mean overpowering and that there is a real difference between anger and aggression. When men get in touch with the power from their core, they are more authentic, trust-able and attractive to women.

Robert insists that vulnerability is not weakness but, in fact, authenticity. If we can learn to be vulnerable without crumbling, we can be more in touch with our lives and other people.

Are you really alive?

So you’ve experienced your Rite of Passage, you’re speaking to your animal spirits, now what?

Jayson gives us some suggestions on how to take your insight back into the world and how to stay connected to your highest self throughout your life.

What is the Rite of Passage really about?

Are you in touch with the fact that one day you will die?

Popular culture often hints at the kind of initiation into manhood we are talking about. War films, coming of age tales and hero stories are often built around a man’s Rite of Passage in some way. “Fight Club” pointed to the problem, but didn’t really offer a workable solution. The film “Into the Wild” is Jayson’s favorite Rite of Passage story, and every man with these questions should check it out.

Well, maybe. College fraternities are addressing a genuine need all young men feel—the need for a transition from childhood into being accepted as a grown man. The problem is that they are doing a poor job of meeting that need with a genuine and healthy “Rite of Passage.”

This week Tripp and Casey sit down with Jayson Gaddis and talk about the Rite of Passage concept and its absence in modern western culture.

With no Rite of Passage, men miss out on an essential ingredient to their healthy development. Jayson points out that the typical pattern of following the “shoulds” in life and not getting in touch with our true purpose is almost epidemic. “It’s a recipe for a midlife crisis,” he says.

Rollie, an internet professional and spiritual practitioner, brings up a common phenomenon he calls the “pre/trans” misconception in which pre-conventional “macho” behavior is associated with the masculine and avoided or repressed, preventing an authentic Trans-conventional masculinity from emerging.

Keith, freelance writer and Kung-fu teacher, points to Taoist principles of yin and yang and the inherent power in each. He notes that as men cultivate the softer yin energy they cut off their own personal power and the power of that yin as well as their inherent yang energy.

Rich, restauranteur, relates that in his years as a married man, he unknowingly missed out on the unique relationship that other men provide. He looks into how a men’s group can be similar and different from one on one coaching.
