He guides them to lead with Relational Authority™-anchored in initiation, integration, and inspiration.Having been adopted twice and walked through the dark night of divorce, he rebuilt his life from the inside out. Now co-host of "The Sacred We," he helps men transform their relationships-starting with themselves-and create legacies of love, presence, and purpose.Episode SummaryIn this episode, Michael Perry sits down with Mike Elliott to explore the deeper purpose and power behind men’s groups and the role they can play in helping men grow, heal, and reconnect with themselves and each other.Mike shares his personal journey into men’s work and how spaces built on honesty, accountability, and brotherhood can create profound transformation. We talk about why so many men feel isolated despite appearing strong on the outside, and how men’s circles offer something that modern culture rarely provides: a place where men can show up fully, be challenged, and be supported at the same time.Throughout the conversation we explore the path toward mature masculinity, what it means to integrate both masculine and feminine energies, and why vulnerability is not weakness but one of the foundations of real strength. Mike also discusses mentorship, shadow work, and the importance of community when it comes to doing the deeper work of becoming the man you want to be.This conversation is about more than men’s groups. It’s about rediscovering brotherhood, stepping into personal responsibility, and creating spaces where men can grow into more grounded, conscious, and authentic versions of themselves.Whether you're curious about men's work, searching for deeper connection, or simply wondering what actually happens inside a men’s group, this episode offers insight into why these communities are becoming such an important part of many men’s lives.
