Grow wealth without get-rich-quick schemes. Every episode equals one problem solved, one system implemented, one step closer to the man you're capable of becoming. This isn't about perfect morning routines or ice baths. It's about sustainable wins for men with real responsibilities. The Kingsmen community is waiting. Because the difference between successful men and everyone else isn't talent, it's systems. Subscribe now.

    I Hate My Job But Need the Money" - The 5-Step Exit Strategy That Gets You Out Without Going Broke

    You'll stay trapped in that soul-crushing job forever if you don't learn how to strategically build your way out while keeping the lights on.

    Here's the painful reality: You're trading your life energy for a paycheck that barely covers your bills. Every morning feels like a prison sentence. You've got skills, but you're stuck because you don't know how to package them or where to take them.

    The Guidance Code Episode 4 reveals the exact strategy that gets men out of dead-end jobs and into careers that actually build them up instead of breaking them down.

    Derek Bingham shows you:

    • How to spot if your job is slowly killing your dreams (the warning signs)
    • The skill-translation method that turns any experience into marketable value
    • Why your resume is keeping you stuck (and how to fix it tonight)
    • The LinkedIn networking system that opens doors without being pushy
    • The 6-month escape plan that gets you out safely with money in the bank

    This isn't about quitting tomorrow and hoping for the best. This is about building a bridge to something better while you're still getting paid.

    Join The Guidance Code where men escape dead-end jobs, develop career transition strategies, build professional networks, master skill development, and create work that energizes them through strategic planning and purposeful action.

    Listen if you're ready to stop trading time for misery. Skip if you're comfortable staying trapped.

    I Keep Letting People Down" - How to Become Unshakeable When Everyone Has Given Up On You

    You'll keep being overlooked, underestimated, and passed over if you don't understand that your character is built in moments when nobody's watching.

    Look, you might be the smartest guy in the room. You might have the best ideas. But if people can't depend on you to show up when you say you will, none of that matters.

    The Guidance Code Episode 3 reveals the discipline system that transforms unreliable men into the ones everyone calls when something important needs to get done.

    Derek Bingham breaks down:

    • Why your small habits determine your big opportunities
    • The exact moment your reputation gets built or destroyed
    • How "backbone discipline" makes you unbreakable under pressure
    • Why being early is the easiest way to stand out from 90% of men
    • The difference between motivation (which fades) and discipline (which delivers)

    This isn't about becoming a robot. This is about becoming the man whose word means something. The one people breathe easier around because they know you'll handle it.

    Join The Guidance Code where men develop unshakeable discipline, build masculine reliability, master consistency habits, strengthen personal integrity, and become the dependable leaders their families and communities need.

    Listen if you're ready to be the man people can count on. Skip if you prefer making excuses.

    The Guidance Code - Episode 3: Discipline: The Real Game Changer

    Your backbone shows in how you handle your commitments.

  • The Guidance Code - Episode 2 Breaking Generational Curses
    Sep 6 2025

    I Never Had a Father to Learn From" - How to Break Cycles You Never Even Knew You Inherited

    You'll keep repeating patterns of abandonment, emotional unavailability, and broken relationships if you don't learn how to heal what was never there.

    Most fatherless men think "I can't repeat my father's mistakes if I never knew him." But growing up in a single mother household teaches patterns too. Absent fathers still pass down generational trauma through their absence - teaching you that men disappear, that love isn't permanent, that you're on your own.

    The Guidance Code Episode 2 shows men without fathers how to break generational cycles even when you don't know where the patterns came from.

    Derek Bingham reveals:

    • How absent fathers create generational trauma through abandonment
    • Why fatherless men often struggle with emotional intelligence and connection
    • The masculine development approach that heals generational wounds without excuses
    • How men from single mother households can build authentic male leadership
    • Breaking cycles of emotional unavailability and abandonment patterns

    This isn't about making excuses for absent fathers or blaming single mothers. This is about fatherless men doing the inner work to create what was missing and build the legacy they never had examples of.

    Join The Guidance Code where men without father figures learn authentic masculinity, break generational cycles, develop emotional healing, build male leadership skills, and become the fathers and leaders they never had through personal growth and accountability.

    Listen if you're ready to do the inner work and create what was missing. Skip if you're comfortable staying stuck in generational patterns.
