    EP221: Tony Cohen - Becoming Resilient
    Nov 5 2025
    "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.

    EP220: Michael Cappa - I Want To See Young Men Win
    Oct 29 2025
    "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. He's built his company by training young men from scratch, teaching them excellence in both craftsmanship and character.

    EP219: Dr. Martin – How Sugar Is Destroying Men's Health
    Oct 22 2025
    "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.

    EP218: George Rivera - "Don't Miss Leo's Games, Like I Missed So Many Of Yours"
    Oct 15 2025

    "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.

    EP217: JP Garcia – Why Men Should Know How To Use A Gun
    Oct 8 2025
    "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.

    "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.

    EP215: Gary Hibbert – How To Build Financial Freedom As a Man
    Sep 24 2025
    "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.

  • EP214: Dr. Cheryl Fraser - Pleasure Is Your Birthright

    EP214: Dr. Cheryl Fraser - Pleasure Is Your Birthright
    Sep 17 2025
    "Kill the soulmate and save your relationship." Pleasure isn't something men need to chase—it's built into who we are. Yet life, routines, and responsibilities can bury it under layers of stress and obligation. The episode unpacks why novelty fades in long-term love, why sex slows down even in happy marriages, and how men can reclaim desire by making intentional effort, bringing polarity back, and refusing to settle for "nipple, nipple, crotch, goodnight" routines. Dr. Cheryl Fraser cuts through the myths with refreshing honesty. She shows how spontaneity isn't enough—you need to cultivate responsive desire, plan for seduction, and sometimes even bring back taboo play to keep things alive. She reminds men that attraction can't be negotiated, but how you show up either fuels desire or kills it. Sovereignty in sex, like in life, comes down to stepping up, leading, and refusing to be lazy in love. Cheryl is a clinical psychologist, sex therapist, and author who has spent decades helping couples reignite passion. She's the creator of the "Passion Triangle," a framework that blends intimacy, thrill, and sensuality, and the founder of a 12-week couples immersion program. Cheryl is also the host of the Sex, Love & Elephants podcast, where she explores the connection between erotic love and spiritual awakening. Cheryl is a Buddhist psychologist, sex therapist, author, and speaker who helps couples reignite passion and build love that lasts. Known for her humor, straight talk, and practical wisdom, Cheryl blends cutting-edge sex therapy with Buddhist mind training to cut through resistance and bring couples back to intimacy. A Fulbright scholar and acclaimed researcher on love and sexual behavior, she created the Become Passion program, hosts the Sex, Love & Elephants podcast, and wrote Buddha's Bedroom – The Mindful Loving Path to Sexual Passion and Lifelong Intimacy. She's also been featured by Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, and Dr. Laura Berman. When she's not teaching or speaking, Cheryl is often leading meditation retreats or living on Vancouver Island with her partner and their animals, practicing the passion she preaches. www.drcherylfraser.com You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.
