  • Weak men, Loud World : Why Adversity is the Test You Were Built For
    Jul 16 2025

    This one ain’t for the faint of heart.

    In a world full of excuses, victimhood, and men hiding behind comfort, this episode delivers a ruthless wake-up call. We’re diving into why so many men have gotten soft — and how adversity isn’t your enemy… it’s your invitation to rise.

    I’ll walk you through hard stats, real talk, and my own personal hell — raising kids that aren’t mine while standing beside a woman healing from abuse — not for pity, but to show you what standing the fuck up looks like.

    This episode isn’t about motivation.

    It’s about obligation.

    It’s about Brotherhood.

    And it’s about you.

    Listen in if you’re ready to stop bitching and start building.

  • NO ONE FOLLOWS EXCUSES
    Jul 14 2025

    This episode rips the mask off the modern man and asks one simple question:

    Are you still hiding behind excuses… or are you ready to lead?

    Host Shawn Dirksen AKA STOGIE takes the gloves off and delivers a raw, unapologetic gut-check to men faking strength while running from accountability.

    You’ll hear:

    Why fake confidence is killing your leadership

    • The real cost of living a lie (and what science says about it)
    • The power of brotherhood and why isolation is destroying men’s lives
    • Practical steps to reclaim your purpose, your presence, and your path

    This isn’t a motivational pep talk.

    It’s a line in the sand.

    And if you’re ready to step over it—welcome to The Backroom Brotherhood.
