Description

Welcome to the Rising Man Movement, where our mission is to initiate a new generation of fiercely loving and confident men. We envision a world in which ALL men are prepared to lead with integrity, express themselves authentically, and serve their communities. We accomplish this mission by covering all aspects of the male experience on the show, including shameless sexuality, masculine/feminine integration, environmental respect, indigenous wisdom, finding purpose, secrets of fatherhood, and much more.

Across four segments, we stimulate and inspire men into intentional action. Featuring the top voices in the sexual polarity, men's work, rites of passage, conscious, and personal development worlds, our interviews offer unique perspectives on what it means to be a man.
