Episode 117: The “If” Philosophy (ft. Tyler Ecklund-Kouba)

Initiated in 1886 at Hope and Perseverance Lodge No. 782, Bro. Rudyard Kipling never formally called “If” a Masonic poem—yet it endures as a powerful guide for any young man seeking who he ought to become.In this episode, Tyler Ecklund-Kouba returns to explore confidence, authenticity, and the lifelong work of becoming your true self. Because in the end, character—not achievement—is the real reward. Many thanks to Daniel Rivera, who serves on the editorial and executive teams of the “Fraternal Review.” Check out www.TheResearchLodge.com for more.
