	<itunes:summary>The New Man Podcast is a 30 minute, interview-style show that provides an entertaining and often humorous way to get real world, practical advice on every area of a man&#039;s life: relationships, sex, dating, career, money, power, purpose, inner game and fitness.

The New Man Podcast dives into the topics guys are hungry to explore but typically only discuss after a few beers. In a nutshell, The New Man Podcast is personal development for guys who think self development is for pussies.

The New Man is for guys who want to attract the right woman without playing &quot;Pickup Artist&quot; games or seduction tricks. We explore how to have an exciting sex life while learning how to navigate the sticky world of relationships. The New Man helps men break out of their confining job and get paid to do what they love. A common theme in all shows is to help guys quit settling for less, find their purpose and live a passionate, meaningful life. How is this done? By getting a handle on fear and stop letting emotions get in the way. The New Man helps guys develop the best physical and mental practices to live a life with brains, heart, guts and balls.

A sample of guests who have appeared on The New Man: Ken Wilber, Dan Millman, Marcus Buckingham, Steve Pavlina, Shawn Phillips, Bill Harris, AJ Jacobs, Vernon Reid, Joel Harper, Sean Stephenson and Derek Sivers.</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary>How to Spank and S**t Your Way to Enlightenment - His Holy Holiness Sri Sri Sri Spankneesh
Does life sometimes feel like a hamster wheel where youâre constantly chasing more money, sex or something else?

Since we all end up dead anyway, should life be taken seriously?

And how is it possible that a man from India can literally spank you into enlightenment?

In this episode we go deep with His Holy Holiness Sri Sri Sri Spankneesh Ji, a controversial spiritual guru. Weâre talking about the meaning of life, spanking butts and, well, shit.
In this episode:

	How does spanking bring us to enlightenment?
	Will chasing more ass, cash or status just bring you more pain?
	Why Bill Gatesâ money, George Clooneyâs sex life or the body of Shawn Phillips wonât bring lasting happiness
	What do you really want beyond paying the bills, orgasms, etc.?
	Where can we find true, lasting happiness?
	Is figuring out the mystery of life a mistake?
	How can âshitâ be a holy word?
	Should you take life seriously?
	Why are some âspiritualâ or âpersonal growthâ people such a drag?
	What is really beyond the macho jerk and the new age wimp?


About His Holy Holiness Sri Sri Sri Spankneesh ji
Spankneesh ji, as he is fondly known to his devotees worldwide, is a cultural phenomenon. No one knows when exactly he was born, but it is said that where he was born is in South India. He is a modern day guru, that is dedicated to assisting the seeker in finding the guru within themselves. He is known as the &quot;Bling&quot; guru, for he synthesises East/West, Modern and mystical, in a rare blend of philosophy and teaching that is practical and applicable for the modern man.

Whether advising presidents, politcians, rockstars, celebrities, or the everyday man, he has one sole aim, to bring about a more conscious, enlightened society. His vision is to cultivate what he terms as &quot;the new human&quot;, one that is fully rested in his Being, as well as fully engaged in life.

He is a reknowned humanitarian, who has been responsible for starting many global initiatives. Whether is it is his educational institution for higher learning, Spank U. Or his state of art Spankville campus for Enlightenment, the financial institutions, such as Spank Bank.Â  He is also the founder and driving creative force behind OMBOY Media, a visionary media company dedicated to raising the consciousness of the planet.

He regularly draws crowds of more than 300,000 to hear him speak, as well as receive his unique yet profoundly effective brand of blessing known as &quot;The ShaktiPat Spank Transmission&quot;.Â  He is the creator of the reknowned &quot;S&amp;M Technique&quot; that is currently being regularly practiced by over 3 million people every day. Over the last decade more than 6 million people have been personally touched by the grace of Spankneeshji.

He regularly speaks at some of the world&#039;s most prominent international leadership forums. In February 2006, he particpated in panels at the Global Alliance for Economic Regeneration . In 2007 he was the keynote speaker as well as received the reknowned Sir Richard Branson award for distinguished global citizen from the Helhiem Institute. In 2009, he has addressed audiences in 33 countires ranging from Brazil, Mexico, Ghana, Fiji, Denmark, Sweden, Japan, Australia, Germany, Israel, and many more.

In 2010 his new book was released called &quot;The Bling of Being&quot; to much acclaim, and in record time reached number one on the Burundi Times Bestseller list for 8 consecutive weeks. It also became the all time best selling book in the history of the country of Fiji.

Spankneesh ji, says that &quot; A new era in human consciouness is not coming, but it is here now. The entire world is waking up, and shaking up to who we are. These are intense times, where the Cosmic Dj, is playing some tunes that we may not like so much, but we must keep dancing, no matter what. These are the times we must access the inner ryhthm inside of ourselves,</itunes:summary>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Spiritual Cowgirl and author Sera Beak joins us on the New Man Podcast to discuss what it means to be Red-volutionary.</p>
<p>She’s the author of “The Red Book: A Deliciously Unorthodox Approach to Igniting Your Divine Spark”.</p>
<p>In this episode we talk about how spirituality can be a bit stuffy or pretentious. Sera drives home the point that it’s about following your true passions and interests.</p>
<p>Being “spiritual” isn’t about following some set of rules &#8212; it’s about fiercely being yourself. And that takes guts</p>
<p>If you’re NOT interested in the whole “spiritual” scene, this discussion may light you up. We talk about rebellion, sex, thigh high boots, great food and a few of the things the Bible warned us about.</p>

		<itunes:summary>Spiritual Cowgirl and author Sera Beak joins us on the New Man Podcast to discuss what it means to be Red-volutionary.

Sheâs the author of âThe Red Book: A Deliciously Unorthodox Approach to Igniting Your Divine Sparkâ.

In this episode we talk about how spirituality can be a bit stuffy or pretentious. Sera drives home the point that itâs about following your true passions and interests.

Being âspiritualâ isnât about following some set of rules -- itâs about fiercely being yourself. And that takes guts

If youâre NOT interested in the whole âspiritualâ scene, this discussion may light you up. We talk about rebellion, sex, thigh high boots, great food and a few of the things the Bible warned us about.

	Cultural expectations, rules and cues

Do you have any idea what MATTERS to you?

How would you even find out what that is?

Listen to Jeremy talk about how this arduous ritual smacked him in the face with reality -- beyond paying the bills and being someone special. You donât have to wait to lose your job or your life in order to benefit from losing it all.



About Jeremy Geffen, Author, The Journey Through Cancer

Jeremy R. Geffen, MD, FACP is a board-certified medical oncologist, a pioneer in the field of integrative medicine and oncology, and the founder of Geffen Visions International, Inc. (GVI). A gifted and inspiring writer, speaker, physician, and seminar leader, he is the author of the highly-acclaimed book The Journey Through Cancer (Crown, 2000; Three Rivers, 2006) and audio program The Seven Levels of Healing (Nightingale-Conant, 2001). He has addressed a large number of groups and conferences, and has testified before the United States Congress as an expert witness on integrative medicine and oncology. From 2006 - 2008 he served as Director of Integrative Oncology for P4 Healthcare and www.Caring4Cancer.com.

In addition to his academic medical education and training, Dr. Geffen has traveled extensively and has more than thirty years of experience exploring the great spiritual and healing traditions of the world, including Ayurveda, Tibetan Medicine, yoga, meditation, and other approaches to health and self-awareness.

Described as an &quot;oncologist of the future,&quot; Dr. Geffen founded the Geffen Cancer Center and Research Institute (GCCRI), in Vero Beach, Florida, in 1994, which he directed until 2003. GCCRI was one of the first cancer centers in the United States explicitly designed to provide a working model of truly holistic, comprehensive cancer care for the 21st century. The Center was well-known for its ground-breaking Seven Levels of HealingÂ® program which integrates state-of-the-art conventional cancer treatments with a wide array of complementary therapies designed to promote healing and transformation at the deepest levels of the body, mind, heart, and spirit. Dr. Geffen practiced medical oncology and hematology for 11 years before closing the Center and leaving clinical practice in 2003 to work full-time with GVI. During his career as a practicing physician he provided guidance and care to thousands of patients and their loved ones.

Dr. Geffen is a summa cum laude graduate of Columbia University, and received his MD degree with honors from New York University School of Medicine. He completed residency training in Internal Medicine at the University of California at San Diego Medical Center, and fellowship training in Hematology and Oncology at University of California at San Francisco Medical Center. He is the recipient of research grants from the National Cancer Institute and the Research Coordinating Committee of the University of California. In 1995 he was elected a Fellow of the American College of Physicians.

Dr. Geffen&#039;s work is now focused on writing, speaking, and consulting with hospitals, medical centers, and professional organizations in developing leading-edge integrative and multidimensional programs for medicine and life. He also leads seminars and retreats throughout the United States and abroad, and offers personal consulting services for individuals and their families.</itunes:summary>

	A good woman will challenge and support you to be a better man in every area of your life
	Becoming a father can crush any grand ideas you have about who you think you are
	There is no such thing as an âun-spiritualâ moment

About Stuart Davis, Musician, Artist

With eleven full-length albums to his credit, Stuart Davis has carved out a unique wavelength in the musical spectrum. Taking the topics of God, sex, and life and death, and crafting them into inimitable pop songs with lyrical flair and unforgettable hooks, Stuart continues to be one of the great, undiscovered singer/songwriters around.

In addition to his musical brilliance, Stuart is becoming something of a cultural force. With the support of devoted fans, in 1999 Stuart started his own record company, Dharma Pop Records (first called Post Apocalyptic Records), through which he has released four albums to date (&quot;Bright Apocalypse&quot;, &quot;Stuart Davis 2001&quot;, &quot;The Late Stuart Davis&quot;, and the recent &quot;Bell&quot;). The same fan base has formed its own divinely mad community. These &quot;Punk Monks&quot; help promote Stuart&#039;s shows, run Stuart Davis websites, and generally spread the word of what has come to be known as Post Apocalyptic Punk Folk, or what we might simply call Integral Pop.

The multifarious Davis is also a published author, having contributed to the book Radical Spirit (New World Library). And he&#039;s a fictional character too, appearing in Ken Wilber&#039;s novel Boomeritis (Shambhala). His series of video road journals are a regular part of the Integral Naked website, a multimedia doorway to the world of integral awareness. Armed with one camera, two guitars, and multiple personalities, Stuart introduces us to the bizarre and beautiful world of life as a nomadic mystic. If that weren&#039;t enough, Stuart is forming his own actual language, called &quot;IS.&quot; (For a taste of IS, listen to Stu&#039;s album &quot;Bell&quot;.) In the moments when Stuart is not criss-crossing the country on tour, he lives in Boulder, CO, with his wife, Marci, and their daughter, Ara Belle, freshly manifest from the bardo realm.</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary>In part 1 of our talk with Stuart Davis -- rock star, buddhist monk and host of âSex, God, Rock n Rollâ -- we hear how a âspiritualâ guy can also be unapologetically rude and crude.

Stuart shares some hilarious stories about how he would rather be dead than conform to any means of authority -- family, religion, school, day jobs and womenâs clothes included.

In this episode:

	 Itâs easy to be a punk and point out societyâs shortcomings -- it takes skill to offer something constructive
	His relentless pursuit of freedom has landed him in jail and almost killed him
	Drummers arenât complete idiots (some of them at least)
	How spirituality turned him into a self righteous asshole
	How life can be enjoyable after the sparkle and ârushâ has passed
	What had him see the real meaning of his lifeBe sure to keep an eye out for Stu&#039;s latest TV show &quot;Sex God Rock n Roll&quot; on HDNET this summer.

About Stuart Davis, Musician, Artist

With eleven full-length albums to his credit, Stuart Davis has carved out a unique wavelength in the musical spectrum. Taking the topics of God, sex, and life and death, and crafting them into inimitable pop songs with lyrical flair and unforgettable hooks, Stuart continues to be one of the great, undiscovered singer/songwriters around.

In addition to his musical brilliance, Stuart is becoming something of a cultural force. With the support of devoted fans, in 1999 Stuart started his own record company, Dharma Pop Records (first called Post Apocalyptic Records), through which he has released four albums to date (&quot;Bright Apocalypse&quot;, &quot;Stuart Davis 2001&quot;, &quot;The Late Stuart Davis&quot;, and the recent &quot;Bell&quot;). The same fan base has formed its own divinely mad community. These &quot;Punk Monks&quot; help promote Stuart&#039;s shows, run Stuart Davis websites, and generally spread the word of what has come to be known as Post Apocalyptic Punk Folk, or what we might simply call Integral Pop.

The multifarious Davis is also a published author, having contributed to the book Radical Spirit (New World Library). And he&#039;s a fictional character too, appearing in Ken Wilber&#039;s novel Boomeritis (Shambhala). His series of video road journals are a regular part of the Integral Naked website, a multimedia doorway to the world of integral awareness. Armed with one camera, two guitars, and multiple personalities, Stuart introduces us to the bizarre and beautiful world of life as a nomadic mystic. If that weren&#039;t enough, Stuart is forming his own actual language, called &quot;IS.&quot; (For a taste of IS, listen to Stu&#039;s album &quot;Bell&quot;.) In the moments when Stuart is not criss-crossing the country on tour, he lives in Boulder, CO, with his wife, Marci, and their daughter, Ara Belle, freshly manifest from the bardo realm.</itunes:summary>

Bill gives us insights on a novel approach to getting the results we want in life.

About Kute Blackson

Kute Blackson is an extraordinary man, a man on a mission. He is known for his high energy, his cutting edge ideas, his dynamic and life changing presentations. Born in Ghana, West Africa, Kute experienced a diversity of cultures very early on, being of Ghanaian/Japanese heritage and having been raised in London. After deciding to move to America in pursuit of âThe American Dream,â Kute amazingly won a green card in the âDV-1 Green Card Lotteryâ where there were only a handful of winners amongst millions of applicants worldwide. Kute says, âOur thoughts create our reality â thoughts are the chisel that sculpt our destiny into tangible form.â

Once Kute arrived in Los Angeles, he had no contacts, no college education, very little money, only two suitcases (one for clothes, one for books), and a burning desire to make his dreams real. Kute, is a living embodiment of someone who has overcome adversity, and thrived against all odds, which is what is his signature presentation âLeap and your Wings will appear!â is about.

Kute immediately started his own business while living in a tiny apartment, sleeping on the floor. During this challenging period in his life, Kute found solace in some of the 750 plus books he read as inspiration and fuel to keep moving past the quitting point. Although he had to ride the bus along Wilshire Blvd, he was driven by his tenacity and passion, and his business began to soar. Utilizing multi-level marketing as a vehicle to get off the ground, he was soon able to move on to his actual field of interest: speaking and coaching.

Known nationally as âThe Transformation Coach,â Kute is a certified hypnotherapist and âNLPâ practitioner, assisting individuals and corporations in creating authentic change. He is also a radio talk-show personality, having had his own radio show called âBeyond Boundariesâ on KYPA in Los Angeles. As founder and president of âThe Blackson Group,â Kute is a dynamic life coach, and inspirational speaker, having spoken to audiences internationally. For many years now, his unique message of empowerment, has inspired thousands, at companies such as: Century 21, TCG, Re Max, Prudential Financial Services, Washington Mutual, and many more.

Kute is also featured regularly on KTLA channel 5, sharing innovative, and practical ideas about personal growth and success. Nelson Davis, president of Nelson Davis Television Productions says, âKute Blackson is a favorite contributor to our television program, âMaking It.â He brings focus and intensity to inspirational thinking that our viewers respond to. I think that he has the special ability to communicate excellent ideas.â Kute is truly the speaker and coach for the ânew generation!â

With his company âThe Blackson Group,â Kute is dedicated to the transformation of individuals, and corporations, from the âinside-out.â Kute has created what some consider the ultimate coaching system,</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary>In Part two of our discussion with Dr. Sandor Gardos, we take a deeper look into everybody&#039;s favorite topic...SEX.

Unfortunately, the sex lives of most men are not where they could b

We&#039;re not talking about how to pick up women here, we&#039;re talking about something deeper.

What is behind our sex drive and what is our sexual energy all about besides ejaculation?

Men tend to look at sexual energy as frustration, something to be fixed...

And as quickly as possible.

Men train themselves at a young age to relieve sexual energy as fast as possible, instead of cultivating and using sexual energy to invigorate their lives.

Women tend to experience sexual energy differently, even using different words to describe sexual feelings.  Where men talk about &quot;sexual frustration&quot; women speak of the same pleasurable feelings as &quot;juicy&quot; or &quot;alive.&quot;

Sandor encourages us to see this energy not as something to avoid, but something we should honor as our very life essence.  He invites us to learn to be with strong energetic sensation and practice cultivating and holding sexual energy.

Why is Viagra the best selling drug in the country?

Often we can be very dissociated during sex, perhaps fantasizing about someone else or generally checking out altogether.

Most of us would rather take a pill than truly look inside ourselves to discover what may be getting in the way of our sexual desire.

Dr. Gardos points out that most men don&#039;t know what is possible with orgasm because we don&#039;t know how to be with intense sexual energy.

At the highest levels, sex can become a pathway to deep spiritual states...a very direct route, Dr Gardos says.

So where is the average guy to start on this path of sexual self-discovery?

Dr. Gardos suggests finding community, locally or online and begin to take in and share information.  This can be tough at first but there are resources out there for men willing to take a loo

This is not another goal that has to be met or an achievement we need to reach, but an opportunity for us to know ourselves better and live more fully because of it.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Is the &#8220;conventional relationship&#8221; ideal killing the passion in relationships?</p>
<p>This week&#8217;s guest, Dr. Sandor Gardos lets us in on what he sees as the secrets to creating and maintaining a passionate relationship.</p>
<p>Knowing everything about one another, always maintaining equality, laying everything on the table&#8230;These may be good ways to maintain friendships, or business relationships, but when it comes to hot sex, these are the very things that may be draining passion.</p>
<p>The thing is, women want hot sex lives as much as we do.  The things we do to try and strengthen our relationships can be the very things that will ultimately weaken our connection.  Sandor hears from women all the time with fantasies every bit as raunchy as any man&#8217;s he hears, and with a lot more detail.

		<itunes:summary>Is the &quot;conventional relationship&quot; ideal killing the passion in relationships?

This week&#039;s guest, Dr. Sandor Gardos lets us in on what he sees as the secrets to creating and maintaining a passionate relationship.

Knowing everything about one another, always maintaining equality, laying everything on the table...These may be good ways to maintain friendships, or business relationships, but when it comes to hot sex, these are the very things that may be draining passion.

The thing is, women want hot sex lives as much as we do.  The things we do to try and strengthen our relationships can be the very things that will ultimately weaken our connection.  Sandor hears from women all the time with fantasies every bit as raunchy as any man&#039;s he hears, and with a lot more detail.  It seems men are generally less in touch with their actual desire than women are, despite popular perception to the contrary.

Not only does Dr. Gardos help us identify the problem areas, he describes what the path to erotic partnership can look like.  Integrity, differentiation, variety â these are keys we have learned from previous guests and seem to apply in all areas of our lives.

Listen as Dr. Sandor Gardos shares with us a piece of his vast wisdom on sexuality and relationship.
