What it means to be masculine has been bastardized to the point of becoming impossible for a consensus to be reached within the culture. Sadly, the situation within the Christian church today isn’t much better, as many of its men are relegated to navigating life without a firm grasp of what biblical masculinity entails. My guest on today’s podcast joins me to discuss why Christian men are missing the mark and what it will require of them to reclaim the masculinity they've been created with for a purpose. Jarrett Samuels is a Pastor who’s committed his life to pursuing biblical manliness, while also encouraging other men to rise to the standard of masculinity communicated in God’s word. Jarrett is a refreshing masculine presence within a subculture that’s littered with false bravado and alpha male caricatures. He writes and speaks with a level of genuine honesty and boldness of conviction I believe to be sorely missing among modern men. Listen in to our discussion as Jarrett explains what it is that brough

My guest on today's podcast is Dylan Madden. He's the owner of CalmandCollected.com, a website that’s specifically designed for the man of action who isn’t content with his current situation in life and is willing to put in the work necessary to improve it. Dylan’s website and his recently published book, Think and Go Hustle, are outgrowths of him completely reshaping his formerly lackluster life through the power of mindset. Think and Go Hustle chronicles Dylan’s struggles attempting to play by society’s rules and how he’s since liberated himself to live and create wealth on his own terms by developing an impenetrable mindset for success. As Dylan’s book makes clear, each of us has the life that we have earned, the life that we deserve. There’s nobody else to blame and nowhere else to go to turn things around. The power to construct a new, better life resides within every one of us, but we must first be willing to do what is necessary to pull it out. Listen in as Dylan shares the process of building a s

A virtual pandemic of low testosterone exists among men today. It’s been estimated that the average amount of testosterone coursing through the body of today’s 25-year-old men may be only half of what it was just a century ago. Fortunately, modern medicine has begun to step in and provide treatment options for men suffering from the effects of low testosterone. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) has grown to a position of prominence over the past decade. In fact, millions of men are now using it to replenish the hormone most directly responsible for empowering us to express all that makes us masculine. Lloyd from BusinessAndBullets.com joins me on the podcast today to give an every man’s perspective on what it’s like to live in the shadow of low testosterone and discuss how TRT has imbued his life with a newfound masculine radiance.

I must confess that it wasn’t until recently that I dedicated a focus on specifying the outcomes I desire my masculine leadership to produce in my family – and, specifically, in the lives of my kids. In fact, it wasn’t until after reading Neil White’s book, A Father’s Mission: Strong Fatherhood in Our Modern Times, that my desire to be a good father was transformed into a mission. Neil joins me on the podcast today to discuss the mission of fatherhood and how father’s today must execute this mission if they’re to be successful. Neil white is the owner of ThisDadDoes.com, a website that I would dare to describe as a “dad blog” for bold, masculine men. Neil is a husband and father pursuing his purpose of helping other dads find their identities as those called to be the masculine leaders of their families. He gives this calling the seriousness it deserves in his own life, because he understands that it’s more than just a responsibility. It’s a mission. And it’s one that Neil has distilled down into 6 pillars

Your days are numbered. It's a morbid sentiment, to be sure. It also happens to be true. And it’s a truth that is deserving of our full attention. In this episode of the Masculine by Design Mancast, Craig James explores the immense value to be derived from living with a focus on the imminent fate of death that awaits us all. When we’re vividly reminded of life’s approaching finale, much of what we thought to carry significance only moments before tends to fade into obscurity. The darkness of death drowns out the unimportant and intensifies the light radiating from all that we truly hold dear in life. Listen in to hear Craig explain how to use this to get the most of life and leave a legacy that will bring value to the world for generations after you've breathed your last.

My guest on today’s podcast has spent the last decade examining the cultural evolution that's led to the mass vilification of masculinity and its effects on society. He joins me to discuss how this dynamic came to be and the detrimental impact its having on the lives of men today, specifically as it pertains to marriage and fatherhood. Rollo Tomassi is the owner of TheRationalMale.com, a website dedicated to expounding upon what is known as the red pill of intergender sexual dynamics. He’s also the author of a series of three books bearing The Rational Male title. His latest book in the series is The Rational Male – Positive Masculinity. In this book, Rollo dedicates many of its pages to explicating how society has been recently conditioned to disparage conventional masculinity – and he does it with a sharp focus on the implications it’s had on today’s husbands and fathers. The content of our discussion will be revolutionary for those of you who aren’t familiar with Rollo’s work, while proving to be uniqu

In this episode Craig James explains how to defeat fear and build confidence. It takes courage to overcome fear. And the only way to develop our courage is by taking action. As we take action in spite of our fears, our confidence slowly builds over time. The most common reason today’s men are without the confidence they need to thrive and pursue excellence is that they’re unwilling to act in the face of fear. Their lives remain stagnant and dull as a result. Listen in as Craig explains how to defeat the fear that all men face and start the process of building a sense of irrational self confidence.

As masculine leaders of the home, one of our many responsibilities is to lead the effective management of our family’s finances.

Today we’re going to be talking style tips for men. Style is something most men write off as being unimportant or not worth spending the time and effort developing. I’ll admit that I don’t often put much thought into the combination of clothes I use to cover my body each day. But this is an area every man needs be thinking about and working to optimize. Today I welcome Tanner Guzy on the podcast to discuss the most critical things men need to understand regarding how to style themselves to accentuate their masculinity and use style to their advantage in life.

In today’s podcast, Kyle Eschenroeder and I discuss a number of the ideas in Kyle’s book, The Pocket Guide to Action: 116 Meditations on the Art of Doing, though there are many more that we were unable to flesh out due to time constraints. I suggest being ready to take notes while you listen in to this episode of the Mancast. The ideas discussed are both pragmatic and powerful when put to use. They’ve had a dramatic impact on my life. I’m confident they’ll do the same for yours. Show Highlights - How to discern the difference between right action and wrong action - What the costs of inaction are and how they compare to the potential costs of taking action - Why the idea that action requires motivation is a farce - How to combat the temptation to seek comfort by taking bold action - How to view failure (and why failure is sometimes worse than inaction) - The difference between taking action and being busy - How meditation and times of rest can be forms of positive action - Why patience is sometimes the best a

Courage is something every man has the same capacity to express. Yet, if we're being honest, most of us would admit to wishing we displayed a little more of it at times. Nevertheless, what we often fail to remember is that a display of courage is nothing more than a choice to act. You gain strength when you voluntarily expose yourself to that which you’re avoiding out of fear. Conversely, the consequences of failing to confront your fears are devastating. Doing so trains you to retreat toward comfort, causing your masculine courage to atrophy away. Before long you become passive, unknowingly abdicating control of your life to others.

If we're going to seek out the advice of another, we need to make sure they're a person who can be trusted.

This podcast from Craig James on masculine love is going to be an uncomfortable one for some men to hear…which is exactly why they need to listen to it. Most men today don’t understand how to love in a way that is masculine. This is just one of the many pitfalls men must contend with while living in a hyper-feminized culture. We falsely equate what it means to love as a man with the way women have been designed to love. It should come as no surprise that men aren’t equipped to give and receive love in the same ways women are. We love in ways that are distinctly masculine. In this podcast Craig James examines the unique ways in which men have been designed to give and receive love - and the profound ways their lives will be improved by embracing them. If you enjoy the podcast please take a few seconds to leave me a 5-star review on iTunes to pay it forward by helping me reach more men with the powerful message of masculinity. It will only take a minute of your time and you’d be doing me a huge solid. And

Today's guest on the podcast is a professional boxer, author, speaker, chess player, physics major, intellectual, and virtual mentor to a host of men connected with him on Twitter. Ed attributes much of his success in life to a fateful decision he made to give up alcohol for a season to focus on his life's ambitions. Ed and I discuss the expansive benefits of giving up alcohol and why most, if not all, men would also benefit by making this decision. The goal of this podcast is not to demonize all that choose to partake in drinking. The goal is to illuminate the benefits of taking some time away from drinking so that men who stand to gain immensely by doing so (i.e. most men) will be motivated to make that decision and reap the life-changing rewards. Show Highlights - The specific life events that motivated Ed to give up drinking - What Ed’s drinking habits were like before he decided to go sober - How to objectively determine if you have a drinking problem - The odd reactions to expect from others when not
