Whether we’re talking about COVID or the recent police brutality incident, we see a lot of energy flowing. Just turn on to the news or look around you! But, at the same time, we also see people trying to move on with their lives and pretend that nothing’s really going on. The Evolved Masculine, as we continue to learn about, is not like that. We know that he is a man of principles and values that he stands for. So join my guest Sanyika “The Firestarter” Street and me, as we talk about how to engage in the midst of this moment.

Among many topics, we will get into: 

• Finding out the truth that there are no blacks and whites. Operating on non-negotiable commitments.
• Leaning into the discomfort. This is beyond quote cards and Facebook posts!
• How people are picking values as a business exercise and not willing to die for it. 
• Stepping into the fire. What does that mean? Do you want to be right or explore?
• Dealing with anger and judgment.
• Sanyika’s experience with difficulty finding employment because of his skin color and name!
• The real difference between Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter. 
• Identifying your values at this point in time. Your belief can lead to actions that lead to a more significant impact!

Conspiracy theories are thriving right now on social media about the current crisis. Why is there a massive distrust with both the government and mainstream media? What are we really to believe? And where do we go from here? Join my guest Daniel Pinchbeck and me as we talk about how humanity can move forward in these trying times and understand these events on a deeper level. Among many topics, we will get into: 

• How both the government and traditional mainstream media have lost the trust of so many millions of Americans, and what we can do about it.
• Which parts of the conspiracies are facts, and what is simply distraction? 
• COVID-19’s effect on the environment and the ideal ways to replenish the planet.
• The gifts of Trump-ism and concerns with the upcoming election.
• Finding ways to unify ideas and understandings. Why is it difficult for progressives to achieve the level of organization shown on the right?
• The world leaders being trapped in their egos and how egoic structures can be reprogrammed. 
• How can society accept and embrace the reality of psychedelic experiences?
• Are there actually there spiritual forces at play with what’s going on?

What do the terms gender, biological sex, and sexual orientation really mean? Have you thought about the pronouns you use? Why should we be programmed to think in black and white when we know that’s not the case? Join my guest Terra Lyn Anderson and me as we talk about redefining sex and the subtleties and differences within. This is such a great learning experience, and I wish that you learn with me on this episode. We will talk about:

• The establishment of connection simply through the use of appropriate pronouns.
• The understanding of the new generation with the use of non-binary vocabulary.
• Terra’s disagreement against this “binary” or “non-binary” mindset. Why can’t there be ways to define others like Terra in a specific way like “man” or “woman”?
• Historically-gendered roles. Is cooking a delicate thing even if knives and fire are associated with it?
• And more...

• Ian’s start from a failed, sexually unsatisfying marriage to an ownership of all of his desires and his authentic expression.
• Figuring out what your turn-ons and your turn-offs are
• Understanding the different erotic blueprints and how they can improve your sex life
• How to navigate being in relationship with a partner who has a different blueprint than you
• and more...

• The string of crises that I experienced that brought my seven-year ‘Erotic Rockstar’ adventure to an end: a toxic relationship, a respiratory infection, an intestinal parasite, the abortion of a child that I wanted, my mother’s death, and 3rd stage adrenal exhaustion leaving me bedridden for months. All in the space of 1.5 years!
• How these wake up calls are that same thing that’s happening in our world today. We have to break free from our resistance in accepting that the life we have been living is unsustainable, coming to an end, and something new is wanting to come forward.
• Preparing for the future by honing your power and capacity, and with that the role that You can play in creating a new way of living.

• Crisis brings out both the very worst and the very best in humankind. There were those taking advantage of the chaos for their own personal gain; and there were many more who were giving all they’ve got to be of support and service to total strangers.
   
• Some people lost everything they had materially (in Mississippi, coastal homes were swept into the sea leaving only a cement slab of a platform remaining), and some people’s homes were spared. Some people were devastated, and others were faring quite well through it all. Yet, it wasn’t the amount that was taken that made the difference, it was entirely the difference in mindset that they held. Those focused on all that was lost were miserable, and those that were grateful for their lives and/or their families felt renewed by this crisis.
   
• Which leads to: Crisis causes people to reassess their priorities as they come to see what really matters.
  
  
  
• And finally, times of crisis are incredibly fertile opportunities to create rapid, deep, and lasting transformational change; both in your own personal life, as well as, on a larger collective level.
  
  

• Having the willingness to take accountability for the mistakes of your past
• The benefits of being vulnerable, confronting your weaknesses, and taking steps toward real change
