RMP 068 - Leaders Eat Last with Phil Gomez

While many believe a life of freedom is one filled with choices, true freedom for a man is a life with only commitments. My dear brother, Phil Gomez, is a living embodiment of a man who lives by his own code and honors his commitments. Back for a 2nd conversation on the podcast, Phil shares his recent discoveries about fatherhood, fathering men, why every man needs to be initiated into manhood, and how a simple life of service is what it's all about. How having commitments simplifies life - eliminating choices and creating clarity The transition into fatherhood - how did his expectations match what it's actually been like to be a daddy Different versions of "providing" for our families - putting the "warrior" mindset on hold when our family needs us "Service comes in many different forms" - answering the call wherever and however it shows up What "fathering" means, and why we can all show up as "fathers" whether or not we have our own children The edgy form of love that only men can express to each other The unique way we can support each other as men, and how years of men's teams and men's work has prepared us for marriage, parenthood, and a life of purpose Establishing trust as a prerequisite for holding up an honest mirror Why every man needs to be initiated into adulthood Spending time alone in nature to remove the distractions and external influences so we can discover who we are on an essential level - Vision Quest Walking the path of ceremony and spirit - medicine ceremonies and ancient rituals bringing us deeper into connection with our true selves and all things Healing Lyme's Disease with plant medicine "Our lives are not our own" - walking the path of service The opportunity for this generation of men to redefine masculinity Overall, some good natured reflection with the man who knows me best Support the Podcast on PATREON and check out the PERKS – including access to our MONTHLY FIRE CIRCLES and a private Facebook group where we dive deep as a brotherhood.
