Freedom. A quick study of what freedom is and how to maintain it reveals a pattern. There's a common set of values that each of us has to understand and respect. These values are alive and strong today but it's getting harder to pass these on to younger generations. Today, Nicky and our guest, Chris Widener, talk about looking for and growing up with mentors who know how to motivate boys or other men to be the best they can be. We learn about the integrity of men while Chris talks about one of his books, The Real Man Handbook, and last but not least, we learn about freedom and an incredible event, The American Freedom Tour, that will make a major contribution to defending and promoting the freedoms we all enjoy and should continue to enjoy for generations to come. Chris Widener is an internationally renowned speaker, with clients like General Electric, Cisco Systems, Microsoft and the Harvard Business School. He's been a personal and professional development coach since 1988. In 1990, he started a small publishing company called the American Community Business Network. The name was eventually changed to Made for Success and tens of thousands of personal development programs were sold through large retailers like Costco, Sam's Club, Wal-Mart, Target and Barnes and Noble. He's authored over 450 articles and twenty books including best sellers such as The Angel Inside, The Art of Influence, The Leadership Rules, Live the Life You Have Always Dreamed Of, Twelve Pillars, and the sequel to Twelve Pillars, Above All Else.

"A life of comfort is sometimes dangerous" Traditionally, people had to fight to survive. Conditions were often extreme and tribes, families, or communities did what was needed to stay warm, fed, and alive. In these modern times a desire for comfort and convenience has in many ways, replaced the threat and pursuit of survival. Despite this, or maybe because of it, some have a longing to challenge themselves in harsh conditions and to learn how to survive with the bare minimum. And in a society that's growing more unstable by the minute, some are preparing to protect their families if the mechanisms of comfort and convenience collapse. In this episode you will learn: Skills that will enhance your sovereignty. How to gain loads of confidence. Skills to protect yourself and your loved ones.

"You need to be responsible for everything that happens in your life. Period." Traditionally, the role men have in society comes with a hard edge. We wield weapons to protect and feed our families and communities. Today the battle field is often in business but to wield any weapon, a man needs strength of character. Comfort gets in the way so men learn to put responsibility first. We crave challenges that expose our weaknesses so we can be honest with ourselves and grow. We learn to take criticism from peers and mentors, whether we like it or not. But if a boy is protected from these things, he'll be too attached to comfort, he'll be soft and lack courage. He'll be up the creek without a paddle. Ernest Emerson is a knifemaker, martial artist, boxer, coach, and edged-weapons expert.

"Grant yourself your own approval, that's your superpower. It's what's going to allow you to win out there in the world. Be that man, that badass warrior who's just good with himself." When a man has principles and he sticks to them, he knows himself and he has nothing to prove because he wears his good intentions on his sleeve. If you ask this man what's important to him the answer comes quick. On the other hand, a man without principles is a leaf blowing in the wind. He changes his tune depending on who's listening. He might do good things for others but he's more concerned with getting praise than improving the lives of others. Join Nicky and Arpa as they explore the consequences of seeking approval, and stick around for a look at the Emmerson Huck knife, and ammo for the Mozin Nagant Russian surplus riffle.

"Run, young man, to the stern hand of your father, and away from the soft hand of your mother." The world and men have become soft, and it's no wonder. There's an attack on strong men and traditional masculinity by a force that's inverting our principles, and as the world gets flipped too many people can't see up from down. What was once considered strong is now considered weak and a threat to society. The narrative wants you to believe you're a victim, and if you don't see it that way then you must be part of the problem. Join your host, Nicky Billou and guest, Ilan Muallem, as they go in to this and related issues in detail. Ilan Muallem is an actor, director, painter, CEO of Egard Watch Co, and he holds a black belt in Brazilian jiujitsu.
