How to Live as a Provider, Protector, and Procreator

IgKnight the King

Dr. Michael Diamond provides a guide for men to embody the modern-day warrior archetype. He challenges the common cultural view of the warrior as "toxic" or "devoid of feeling," asserting that the modern warrior is, in fact, fully connected to his love. The episode outlines four essential pillars that men must master to show up for themselves, their families, and their businesses. These pillars consist of having a transpersonal commitment, practicing discipline and accountability, understanding the warrior's relationship to other archetypes, and embodying the core roles of the warrior.

The episode is framed with a sense of urgency, referencing the crisis of men taking their own lives and leaving behind "trails of pain". Dr. Diamond concludes that a man's "number one job... is to be alive" and that by asking better questions, men can enter a state of growth and show up more fully in their lives.
