Description

"A real man is sovereign over his own life. He takes full responsibility for becoming a better man, and owns his own successes and failures. But he also understands the value of being a part of a band of brothers, the kind that have his back, and he can call at 3 AM if he's stuck in a jail cell, because they'll come and get him. He understands that just like a wolf pack, the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack."
— Nicky Billou

"It's about improving who you are, not just by thinking, but by actual work."  Strength isn't only about how you look or how much you lift—it's about what you can actually do. Especially when conditions are unpredictable. Real capability shows up when the environment isn't controlled, when the ground is uneven, when fatigue sets in, and when stress demands calm instead of panic. Physical preparedness becomes a moral responsibility when it determines whether you can help yourself or others.  This episode explores the difference between appearance-based fitness and real-world function. The conversation moves through natural movement, adaptability, and the idea that instinct alone isn't enough—it must be refined into skill. Mental composure under pressure is treated as trainable, not theoretical, with stress used deliberately as a tool to build patience, commitment, and clarity.  Erwan Le Corre is the founder of MovNat and Breath Hold Work. He specializes in natural movement, breath control, and training composure under physical and psychological stress, helping people develop real-world capability through structured methods rooted in human instinct.  Learn more & connect:   https://www.movnat.com  https://www.breathholdwork.com  You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

"We somehow get in our heads that we're doing it for the family."  Most men don't lose their marriage in one dramatic moment—they lose it slowly, through absence. Long hours, constant pressure, and the belief that providing financially is the same as being present creates a quiet gap that keeps widening. Work becomes the excuse, then the identity, then the hiding place. Over time, family life adapts without the man at the center of it, and resentment grows where connection used to live.  From the guest's perspective, ultimatums rarely come out of nowhere. They show up after years of broken promises, missed moments, and trust erosion. The holidays tend to expose this gap because expectations shift—presence matters more, comparisons become unavoidable, and the story men tell themselves about "doing it for the family" no longer holds. The fix isn't quitting ambition; it's removing yourself as the bottleneck and rebuilding trust through consistent action.  George Rivera is an entrepreneur, author, and creator of the Buy Back Time Formula. After watching success cost his father everything, and nearly repeating the same pattern himself, George built frameworks that help high-performing men reclaim time without burning their business—or their family—to the ground.  Learn more & connect:   The Buy Back Your Time Formula home page:  https://buybacktimeformula.com/transformation  Book: https://buybacktimeformula.com/book  George's socials:  https://www.facebook.com/georgerivera77  https://www.instagram.com/georgerivera1977  https://x.com/GeorgeR76991  https://www.linkedin.com/in/george-rivera-53b3296/  https://www.youtube.com/@buybacktimeformula  https://www.tiktok.com/@buybacktimeformula  You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

"If men can't articulate what masculinity is, like what they think is good about it, they are just going to get run over by these people who've spent years studying gender theory."  Strength, courage, mastery, and honour form a solid framework for understanding masculinity. These traits aren't trends or preferences; they are patterns that show up across cultures and eras because they emerge from how men survive, protect, and cooperate. Masculinity is recognized intuitively, measured against who can be relied on under pressure, and reinforced by reputation inside a group that values competence and resolve.  Jack Donovan explain how strength and courage establish trust, mastery earns respect through capability, and honour binds men together through loyalty to shared standards. When men can name these qualities clearly, they're far harder to confuse or dismantle.  Jack is a bestselling author and cultural critic best known for The Way of Men. His work focuses on defining masculine virtues in clear, grounded terms and challenging modern narratives that deny biological and historical realities.  Learn more & connect:  https://www.jack-donovan.com/sowilo/  Book: The Way of Men by Jack Donovan  https://a.co/d/fer8Exm  Also in this episode:  Book: No More Mr. Nice Guy – Robert Glover  https://a.co/d/a8RXXZa  You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

"People in general, young people need purpose. They need a vision."  Building a trades business teaches discipline, work ethic, and responsibility. Foundational elements for a man. But there's an opportunity that can be built on this experience. Mastery in the trades isn't just about doing the work well; it's about understanding systems, and recognizing where value is created beyond the job itself. Once a man has his 10,000 hours, his perspective changes. His role shifts from worker to authority.  Michael Cappa is a young trades entrepreneur who's building a successful painting business and is now stepping into mentorship, speaking, and industry leadership. His focus is helping tradespeople and young men use skilled work as a vehicle for growth, influence, and long-term impact.  Learn more & connect:   Check out Michael's painting handbook e-Book.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xqdgInaUkPYhO_MyFUqYIxpu3QWZ1coW/view  https://altonapainting.com/  You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

"When something real comes up in your life, who do you talk to about it?"  Men don't lose their edge because they stop trying—they lose it because they try to do everything alone. Brotherhood creates a space where men are forced to see themselves clearly, confront patterns that no longer serve them, and stay anchored to purpose when life gets unstable. Growth doesn't happen in isolation. It happens when men are challenged, reflected, and held to a higher standard by other men who care enough to tell the truth.  Eric Axelrod talks about his experience with men's work. How men's circles expose blind spots around anger, listening, leadership, and emotional discipline. Brotherhood isn't about advice—it's about being asked the questions that lead you to the answers you need, accountability, and seeing yourself in other men's trials and triumphs.  Professionally, Eric is the founder of Pinnacle Search Professionals, a recruiting firm for the Regulated Industry. He built his company around a simple principle: depth beats breadth. By working within a clear niche and only taking on searches he knows can be filled well, Eric emphasizes discipline, clarity, and follow-through—values that mirror his approach to leadership and men's work. He's deeply involved in men's initiation work and leadership development, helping preserve and carry forward transformational men's training. His focus is on building strong masculine communities where men develop clarity, emotional control, purpose, and resilience—skills that compound over time and impact families, businesses, and future generations.  Learn more & connect:   https://pinnaclesearchprofessionals.com/  Also in this episode:  Justin Sterling Men's Weekend https://www.sterling-institute.com/mens-weekend  Power vs. Force by Dr. David R.

"Men have a very tricky responsibility and they have to walk down this very narrow line."  Living with conviction means standing firm when the cost is real—socially, financially, and emotionally. It requires clarity about what matters, a willingness to tolerate discomfort, and the discipline to speak honestly even when silence would be safer. When men lose the courage to say what they believe, the consequences ripple outward—into families, culture, and the next generation.  Eric Edmeades understands the personal price of telling the truth, from navigating family courts to challenging cultural narratives. His insights touch on free speech, fatherhood, responsibility, and the quiet pressure many men feel to self-censor. The conversation moves through politics, culture, health, and masculinity, always returning to the same question: what happens when good men stop standing their ground?  Eric is a globally recognized teacher, entrepreneur, and founder of multiple education and wellness companies, including WildFit. Known for blending evolutionary thinking with modern leadership, he challenges people to think independently, act responsibly, and live with integrity—even when doing so comes at a cost.  Learn more & connect:   Book: The WildFit Way: Proven Principles for Improved Quality of Life, Extended Healthspan, and Easy Weight Loss by Eric Edmeades  IG: @ericedmeades  https://ericedmeades.com/  LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericedmeades/?originalSubdomain=ca  Also in this episode:  Documentary: Love vs. the Law  You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

"Organizations like ours attract people to them when they have standards. Men see an opportunity for themselves to develop and get better and grow."  A strong men's organization, the kind that truly serves men, grows by enforcing a high standard. This creates an environment where men are challenged to rise and attracts the men who are ready to do just that. Invite the right men in, set clear standards, and be willing to remove those who refuse to show up, engage, or improve. When these standards are clear and unwavering, the culture is strong and builds momentum.   This is another Arpa & Billou episode. They revisit how Sovereign Man shifted its context to upgrade the quality of the group, attracting more committed members. Arpa explains how they created a culture of cohesion and trust and ultimately attracted more men who wanted leadership development, brotherhood, and real-world results. Men prepared to do the hard work of looking inside themselves and standing up for their fellow man.  Rob Arpa is a senior council member of Sovereign Man.

"The night before battle, warriors would check each other for wounds. That's what a good men's group does."  Men aren't designed to carry everything alone. Strength isn't built in isolation—it's forged through loyalty, shared struggle, and honest reflection. When men try to solve life entirely in their own heads, pressure compounds. Expectations rise, purpose blurs, and silence becomes dangerous. Brotherhood isn't a luxury; it's a stabilizing force that keeps a man grounded, accountable, and connected to who he really is.  Throughout this conversation, the importance of male circles becomes unmistakable. Men need other men who can tell them the truth, challenge their blind spots, and hold space when life hits hard. Success—financial or otherwise—doesn't translate into wisdom everywhere else. Without peers who understand the internal weight men carry, even the most accomplished lives can quietly unravel.  Rene Sonneveld is a family enterprise advisor, leadership coach, and legacy specialist who works with high-performing families and business owners around the world.

"I just want to focus on what I love doing, what lights me up, what brings me joy."    A man who wants his freedom back must first learn where his time is leaking. Most entrepreneurs stay overwhelmed because they confuse being busy with being effective. This episode leans into the principles behind reclaiming time—cutting low-value noise, raising the value of your hours, and deliberately structuring life so your business stops owning you.  George Rivera and Michael Santonato explore what it really means to shift from "doing everything" to doing only what moves the needle. George walks through the mindset of eliminating, automating, and delegating, while Michael reveals the tension between his mission and the low-value tasks holding him back. Together, they illustrate how buying back time isn't theoretical—it's tactical, measurable, and deeply tied to how a man shows up for his family, his money, and his purpose.  George is a 30-year entrepreneur responsible for more than $400 million in sales, now devoted to helping men escape the trap of being cash-rich but time-poor. Michael is a financial educator and advisor focused on helping people become financially indestructible. Both bring lived experience, honesty, and practical strategies for reclaiming your time and redirecting it toward what matters most.  Learn more & connect:  You can find more info about Geroge's book Buy Back Time Formula at https://buybacktimeformula.com/.  Learn more about Michael as a financial coach and educator at https://michaelsantonato.com/.  You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

"Most of our stress in life comes from all of the incompletions in our lives."  A man becomes hard to shake when he learns to clean up the small things: his word, his boundaries, and the promises he keeps. Strength shows up in clarity, not noise. When a man knows what he can take on—and what he can't—life stops pulling him off centre. This episode leans into the quiet disciplines that make a man steady from the inside out.  Bruce Muzik shares insights from years working inside one of the toughest personal-development environments on the planet. He talks about learning to tell the truth early, set boundaries with power instead of fear, and choose service when life feels heavy. His stories hint at how discipline, honesty, and structure shape a man who can stand firm under pressure.  Bruce is a relationship educator and transformation coach known for helping couples strengthen connection and communication. He splits his time between South Africa and the Dominican Republic, teaches globally, and brings a grounded, no-nonsense approach to personal integrity and relational leadership.  Learn more & connect:   Bruce is known as the 'Relationship Repair Expert'.

"Build a business that works for you instead of you building a business that you have to work for."  A man can choose to become who he wants to become, not who his environment programs him to be. Ambition, discipline, and relentless learning can transform a man's trajectory. Developing strength isn't just physical or financial; it's the ability to outgrow the limits of your childhood, elevate your standards, and build a future that reflects who you intend to be.  Justin Montgomery began with every disadvantage but refused to inherit the mindset around him. He leaned into knowledge, skill-building, and the courage to reinvent himself repeatedly—from nursing to entrepreneurship to a multimillion-dollar exit. His story reveals how men can build careers that work for them, not the other way around, and why mastery, mentorship, and niching down are essential for power and prosperity.  Justin is a nurse practitioner turned entrepreneur who scaled a professional education business into an eight-figure exit by age 39.

"Everything in this entire world… rises and falls on male leadership."  Strong male leadership shapes families, communities, and culture. When men show up with conviction, clarity, and responsibility, everyone around them rises. But when men avoid truth, hide from challenge, or drift without identity, the whole system breaks down. This conversation dives into the principles that help men reclaim strength: accountability, brotherhood, self-awareness, and the courage to confront what needs confronting.  David Ask shares how growing up around loyal, hardworking men gave him a foundation—but comparison and uncertainty still dragged him down for years. He explains how discovering his God-given identity changed everything, and why calling men up, not just out, can transform their confidence. His work centers on helping men see the greatness inside them and step into authentic authority.  David is a facilitator with Iron Sharpens Iron and a mentor to men seeking clarity, purpose, and spiritual grounding.

"What happens is when we trip and fall, we start acting like who we used to be rather than who we are. It's so important for us to recognize who God says we are and to proclaim that."  Every man faces giants—habits, fears, and doubts that keep him from living with conviction. The Goliath Code lays out a battle plan rooted in spiritual warfare: knowing who you are, where you stand, and what armor you carry. The fight isn't against people; it's against the unseen forces trying to pull you back into bondage and away from your mission.  Blake Watkins reveals how David's confrontation with Goliath holds a timeless roadmap for men today. Through his "G.O.L.I.A.T.H." acrostic—Geography, Opponent, Labels, Intrepid, Aim, Truth, Hardware—he breaks down the mindset and spiritual posture required to face modern giants like addiction, fear, and passivity. His message reminds men that courage begins in identity, and victory begins in Christ.  Blake is a professional engineer turned minister, author, and teacher. After decades in both corporate life and ministry, he now helps men reclaim their purpose through faith, discipline, and unwavering spiritual strength.  Learn more & connect:   Book: The Goliath Code: A Biblical Battle Plan For Defeating Any Giant https://a.co/d/29xaFmy  Website: www.GoliathCode.com  Video Course: Available at LeadershipBooks.com (search for blake watkins)    You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

"When you've been through a bunch of stuff like your mom dying at seven years old, you become somewhat resilient to a lot of things. I mean, pain is just pain."  Resilience is born from struggle—not comfort. It's forged in the moments when life takes something from you and you have to rebuild, harder and wiser than before. From childhood loss to standing on his own at nine years old, Tony Cohen's life shows that hardship isn't the enemy; it's the teacher that builds backbone, grit, and purpose.  Tony Cohen shares how the pain of isolation and early loss shaped his strength, how learning to fight back against bullies led to confidence, and why controlled aggression—channelled through boxing or Krav Maga—can help men reclaim their edge. He speaks about failure, rebuilding, and how resilience isn't found in privilege but in persistence.  Tony is a master Krav Maga instructor, entrepreneur, and founder of FeelSafeDaily, a platform teaching real-world personal safety and empowerment. His story is one of self-reliance, purpose, and the kind of masculinity built through earned strength.  Learn more & connect:  • FeelSafeDaily – Reveal your confidence code @ https://feelsafedaily.info  Also in this episode:  • Russell Brunson https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2qUDKqTsz00csykCYgdLuA  • Book by Alex Hormozi – $100M Offers: How To Make Offers So Good People Feel Stupid Saying No https://a.co/d/dxdKREn You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

"There's nothing more manly than putting in a good day's work and seeing the fruits of your labor."  The world tells young men to chase degrees, screens, and easy comfort. But fulfillment doesn't come from theory—it comes from effort, grit, and creating something real. True confidence is earned when a man learns to build, fix, and contribute with his own hands.  Michael Cappa turned a summer job into a multimillion-dollar trades business and a brotherhood of young men learning self-respect through skill. His story shows how mentorship, craftsmanship, and courage forge purpose—and how working in the trades can transform more than just a bank account.  Michael is the founder of Altona Painting, based in Ontario, Canada.

"If you did nothing else for yourself, cut out the sugar in your diet."  Most people think their health problems are genetic, but Dr. Martin argues the real culprit is metabolic dysfunction caused by sugar. He explains that heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, and diabetes are all downstream effects of one condition — metabolic syndrome — and that reversing it starts with changing your fuel. Our bodies were designed to run on protein and fat, not refined carbs and fructose-laden foods that dominate the modern diet.  Dr. Martin reveals how decades of flawed nutrition science flipped the food pyramid upside down, demonizing red meat and praising grains. He shows how simple shifts — steak over cereal, eggs over muffins, muscle over comfort — can restore energy, sharpen the mind, and prevent disease. He also dismantles myths around cholesterol, fasting, and acidity, offering a clear framework for men to rebuild their strength, vitality, and hormonal balance.  Dr. Martin is a third-generation clinician, PhD in clinical nutrition, and the founder of the Martin Clinic. He's the author of Sun, Steak & Steel and Metabolic Reset, and hosts The Doctor Is In Podcast, with millions of downloads and a devoted audience seeking to reclaim their metabolic health through practical, evidence-based nutrition.  Learn more & connect:   Books at martinclinic.com:  Sun, Steak & Steel –Metabolic Reset – martinclinic.com  Rebuilding Your Temple (upcoming)  Email: drmartin@drmartin.ca  Also in this episode:  Dumping Iron by P.D.

"You can make all the money in the world, but if you aren't there for the moments that matter, it's going to leave a deeper wound." The heart of a man is tested not in the boardroom but in the living room. True strength lies in presence — not in possessions or performance. This conversation unpacks what happens when men chase success but lose sight of what truly matters: family, legacy, and love.  George Rivera reveals how his father's absence shaped him, how success nearly cost him his own family, and how his father's dying words became a compass for redemption. By rebuilding his business to serve his life instead of consume it, he discovered the masculine balance between purpose and presence. George is an entrepreneur who built a multimillion-dollar company before realizing freedom meant something more — being home for dinner, on the sidelines, and in the stands. Through his book Buy Back Time Formula, he's helping men reclaim their time, restore their families, and rewrite what it means to be a man.  Learn more & connect:   Download Georges free book, Buy Back Time Formula: https://buybacktimeformula.com/branding  You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

"Once you get into it, it's not about the gun anymore. It's about the people and the experience."   There's a reason men are drawn to weapons—they represent competence, focus, and responsibility. Knowing how to handle a gun isn't about fear; it's about readiness. When a man develops skill under pressure, he learns calm, control, and respect for power. It's the same mindset that builds confidence in business, family, and life.  JP Garcia breaks down what happens when men learn to shoot: they get disciplined, they get sharper, and they stop drifting. He's seen guys lose weight, get off antidepressants, and rebuild purpose—all because they found a place to train and belong. The gun range becomes a proving ground for accountability and brotherhood.  JP runs one of the top pistol-shooting clubs in his area, training everyone from teenagers to retirees. His focus is safety, skill, and community—helping men of all backgrounds rediscover what it means to protect, provide, and lead with confidence.  Learn more & connect:  https://sentrydef.com/  Podcast: The Brown Duke Gun Show  https://thebrowndukegunshow.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyKs93rdUwj0Z0stbtDLjYw  You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

"I want every single advantage to be able to defend my children that I can as quickly as possible and firearms affords you that."  Strength and safety aren't just about muscles or bravado—they're about preparation. The episode digs into why firearms remain both a skill and a responsibility, touching on safety, self-reliance, and freedom. Guns aren't only about defense; they represent the ability to protect, provide, and carry forward a tradition of resilience that stretches back generations.  JP Garcia shares his journey from learning gun safety in his teens to competing at international levels. For him, firearms are more than tools—they're a way to equalize strength, create confidence, and build bonds between men. From martial arts to marksmanship, JP breaks down why proficiency matters and how shooting can be both a discipline and a form of camaraderie.  JP is the founder of Century Prime Ammunition, host of the Brown Duke Gun Show, and a competitive shooter at local, national, and international levels. His life's work blends precision, protection, and passion for firearms.  Learn more & connect:   https://sentrydef.com/  Podcast: The Brown Duke Gun Show  https://thebrowndukegunshow.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyKs93rdUwj0Z0stbtDLjYw  You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

"Never again do I ever want somebody to be able to control my financial freedom or future."  Most men settle for a paycheck without realizing it's shrinking against inflation. Financial freedom isn't about wishing life were easier—it's about building strength, taking responsibility, and facing problems head-on. The real measure of a man is not what he earns, but the character he shows in how he lives.  Gary Hibbert reveals how a brush with layoffs pushed him to rethink everything. He shares the lessons that turned debt into discipline, properties into freedom, and setbacks into tools for growth. His story is proof that mindset is the foundation for building lasting success. Gary is a Canadian real-estate investor and entrepreneur who walked away from his nine-to-five to take control of his future. Today, he mentors men and investors, showing them how to create wealth while building character that lasts.  Learn more & connect:  https://garyhibbert.ca/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/SHCInvestor/videos  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/smarthomechoice/  Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/real-talk-with-gary-real-estate-investing/id1437187189  Also mentioned:  • Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy  • The Secret movie  • Lisa Nichols, Jack Canfield  • Hard Times Create Strong Men – Stefan Aarnio  You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.
