EP 421 – The Philosopher and The Warrior | Josh Tyler

About this episode

Josh Tyler discusses the importance of integrating different aspects of masculinity and building true confidence.

Most men were told to pick a side. And most men have spent their whole lives half of what they could be because of it. Josh Tyler is a former professional MMA fighter, survival instructor, and the founder of Savage Gentleman. He believes the men who figure out how to hold both don't just become more capable — they become more of what they actually are. In this episode, we get into what men have lost by compartmentalizing their lives. We talk about why the way you roll on the mat is the same way you carve wood, raise your kids, and move through the world — and how a lot of men never connect those dots. We also get into confidence — how it's actually built, why shortcuts don't actually build anything, and what it actually looks like to earn it. We cover the three male archetypes showing up right now, including the one that's quietly becoming the most common. And we close talking about power — what it actually is, why so many men feel like they don't have any, and why that's an illusion that experience can shatter. If you've been doing the things but not becoming anything — this one's for you. –– Join The UNcivilized Nation: https://www.manuncivilized.com/thenation Connect with Me…
