Here we are another episode of TKOL podcast. This episode is a little different. I’ve been on this kick lately around masculinity and what it looks like to be a man in our modern culture.
Centuries ago we were swinging axes and protecting each other on a battlefield somewhere.
Even in our last hundred years we’ve either picked up a trade that our fathers shared with us. But in these modern times we put all those trades down to maybe become entrepreneurs of sorts.
For men it seems like in modern times we either join a community, build our own community, or find ourselves in the in between.
As men in our modern culture…
It’s not uncommon to feel isolated, alone, and caged from your inner passions.
You need to be seen for who you are, acknowledged for where you’re at, and held to the vision of your future.
Without each other, in brotherhood, without some form of community of men, we become dormant from transforming into the men we want to be, forgetting to take the steps necessary to accomplish our significant missions to make this world better.
And it just so happens that my brother David Tosti and his longtime friend Ryah Arthur, both coaches, have create a group they called TMPL Brotherhood were men can share their stories together, unleash their creativity, be active, and support one another in and outside of daily life.
This idea of men bonding and connecting on a deeper level was so interesting and needed I thought I would let Ryah and David tell you what they’re up to…
