Description

The Warrior archetype is one of the most iconic—and misunderstood—expressions of masculine energy. It’s the part of us that acts with courage, protects what’s sacred, and stays disciplined in pursuit of something greater than ourselves. But when disconnected from heart and purpose, the Warrior can turn destructive—hurting others or collapsing into self-erasure.

In this episode of The Circle, Eric and Tim are joined by MJ Oshin—a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and active paramedic—to explore what it means to embody the Warrior with integrity. Together they unpack:

  • The difference between strength and domination
  • The shadow forms of the Warrior: Sadist and Masochist
  • How rhythm, movement, and discipline refine the Warrior’s energy
  • What it takes to rebuild trust in healthy, heart-centered power—especially for queer men

This is a conversation about courage, purpose, and the art of taking right action.
