Welcome To The King’s Circle

Imagine living in a world where you can be 100% yourself. You’re celebrated for your wins and always supported when things get tough. Imagine having access to a global network of men who will offer you reflection and support you through your challenges.

The King’s Circle is your ticket to an easier and more fulfilling life. Connect with men from all walks of life who will accept and support you no matter what.

#37 How To Live A Life Of Honour- with Michael Skye.

Every man knows that he's here for something bigger than himself.

Men reach a stage where they've had material success, built a family and ticked some boxes that made their parents happy.  

This summit is called the first mountain. But you still have more life ahead of you, and something is stirring inside. What you create in the second half of your life is DIFFERENT from what you made in your first 40 years of life—this unknown is your second mountain.

Sadly, most men don't do anything about it. They numb the frustration and ignore their soul's calling to share the gifts that they've been given.

In this episode, Gareth and Brian share how to know if you're facing your second mountain and invite you to join them at The Call To Courage Retreat in Guatemala in July 2024.

This 5-day luxury men's experience is for men who are ready to climb their life's second mountain. You can learn more about the retreat and access early bird pricing before the end of April.

Our luxury villa on Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, only has space for eight men, and this retreat will sell out. So, if you're ready to give yourself the gift of an experience that will shift you onto a new timeline, don't delay. Secure your spot in our opening circle on the 23rd of July 2024 in Guatemala at:  https://fatherssonsbrothers.com/retreat




#36 Are you prepared for your life's second mountain?

We're rebranding!

After two years and over 50 episodes of the Call To Courage, we've evolved. We're more precise about our message and have a simpler way to share it. So, this podcast is transitioning to its new name: The Fathers Sons Brother Podcast.

Fathers Sons Brothers is also the name of the production company that produces transformational men's experiences like the King's Circle, FSB Tribe, and the critically acclaimed first 4% program.

Transformational experiences are the nature of the conversations on this podcast, and we're excited to bring you even more in the future!

#35 We're Changing Our Name - The Evolution Of A Brand.

Do you know someone who has nervous energy whenever they're around technology? They're always scared they're going to "break something".

Do you know someone whose tech always "breaks" on them? Their Airdrop never works, data is not syncing, and they're continuously getting locked out of their services.

Have you ever noticed how those people are often the same person?

The person who worries the most about getting mugged manifests theft. It's like continually telling a story until it creates enough momentum to manifest into physical reality.

Thoughts become things.

If you hang outside the barbershop long enough, you'll end up with a haircut.

Changing the underlying vibration of how you engage with something is like walking away from the barbershop.

A new life direction.
A new timeline.
A new hairstyle.

In today's episode, Matt and Gareth discuss a process for creating a healthy relationship with all parts of your life. Use this process when opening a new bank account, buying a new laptop, or starting a new life chapter to bring ease and flow to your next phase.

[Post-Game] Raise your vibration with this secret practice.

Are you confused about how to be a man and embrace your masculinity?
Has the cultural conversation about "toxic masculinity" made you fearful about how to be a man in this world?

Men who are disconnected from their masculine power or don't feel safe expressing it in their lives cut themselves off from the powerful life force that all men are born with.

In today's conversation with David A. Charles, prepare to unleash your boundless potential as David uncovers powerful strategies to explore and balance your masculinity. The processes examined in this episode are crucial self-work for any man who wants to show up in his power as his authentic self.

#34 Masculinity Unleashed: The Road to Authenticity with David A. Charles

It's been 89 days since my last ejaculation.

That's probably not something that you hear every day. If I'd heard that fifteen years ago, I'd have asked, "Why would you punish yourself like that?" I hadn't even heard of "ejaculation choice" fifteen years ago. I thought every sexual act had ejaculation as the goal - "That's why we're doing this!"

What I've come to learn is that each time you ejaculate, you dispel energy. That's why you feel sleepy and have low energy after sex. But, it is possible to have a potent and active sex life where you don't ejaculate every time.

In this episode of The Call To Courage, Gareth shares his journey and what he learned over the last 89 days without ejaculating. (spoiler: This does NOT mean not having sex or self-pleasuring during this time). 

Gareth also shares the name of his sex coach and how you can connect with him directly if you want to use these practices to improve your sex life and reclaim the energy you may be leaking.

#33 Hedonic Planning - Prioritise your calendar to serve yourself first.

Integrity Inside Out

How do you reflect on the time in your life when you've acted out of integrity? If you're committed to your personal growth, your level of consciousness is constantly evolving. This means you'll continually make better choices and hold yourself to a higher and higher level of integrity. 

So what do you do when you slip out of integrity and don't make your best choices or honour your agreements? 

This week on the Post-Game, Gaeth shares his journey with integrity and how it was recently challenged.
