what is happening Steve Mayeda here and this is the daily awesome podcast men we
are on a journey together to be our best selves but what matters most is today on
that journey and that is now so what we're talking about today is who would
we be if we didn't have the worst days of our life what kind of a man would be
be if we didn't have the trauma and see this is it we were talking about this
earlier today or earlier on the call word we're almost 4 hours into it on our
Wednesday night calls November 20 or December 20th 2017 and not man I just
got off a plane man but on the call ever since my wife and kids are pissed but
had just spent two weeks with my awesome beautiful man can't disrespect them but
who would we be who would we be we just went out through the call you know with
with the steve-o's the gyms the RJ's that calls all these guys on here who
would we be if we didn't have the worst days of our lives the days of our lives
were nothing made sense everything went wrong the years the pain all those
different things happening lost gone robbed from us masculinity gone we were
talking about this you know and so many men you know so many men are fucked
they're killing themselves the way we do with his men was we killed ourselves on
violent ways I mean one time I actually did overdose and was like hey man I'm
happy if I die and that was with drugs but we don't see that just disappearing
of men we see men go to war within ourselves we see men go to war with the
world around us we see men not make sense out of anything to where we die in
violence we die in rage we allow ourselves to waste away in the worst
ways but why is this is this masculinity or is this the reaction to not having a
place to go with masculinity in any case the daily awesome podcast is a home for

like men's development excellence or TSL online or TSL life these are huge things
that man are a part of what we do and what's so vitally important to all of
this is that we connect I mean we're on a call for hours or three hours and
40-plus minutes that we're doing here on a Wednesday night it's gonna go for two
more hours on Sunday we go fifteen and it's a rotating group of guys talking
about the reality of our lives the truth and holding each other accountable to
our best selves not by a standard set by society but a standard set by you in
what we believe in what we know your potential is there's no politics there's
no bullshit there's none of this status or hierarchical stuff it's about you
being you if that means you're a truck driver if that means you're a
firefighter that means you're a soldier if that means your you're an investment
banker that means you're one of the best golf coaches in the world how can you
find your journey of masculinity today and how can we as men fuel that and put
you behind it that's what we do in any case guys you know let's talk about this
because we don't what do we do with our bad days what do we do we put them in a
box we don't talk about them we have this problem with masculinity in our
culture today where we all want to be alpha and have those feelings of
masculinity which are there man with strength is there man - to win is is a
huge part of what we do to have power there's a huge part of what we do to
have ambition to put our mark on the world to be believed in by a woman to
fuck to have all of this stuff that masculinity is seen as and advertised as
and sold as is true it's there but we almost see it so much to the point where
negate the emotional side of it the side where we do have pain where do we go
with it when we do cry when we do get upset we're confused about it does this
make us weak do we need to compensate for it in some way like what what
happens here with our masculinity and this is the sad part because with me you
know my life was pigeon-holed to so many different ways and my main vehicle was
was addiction whether that was drugs later on through sex but but put me
through the the lowest points of my life and like later on and to recovery when I
became clean and when I started living sexually healthy I still had problems I
stopped problems today where my things in my life are taken away from me
forever and again we were talking about this on a masculinity podcast but
they're taken away let's see they're taken away from me but
where I learned to be a man again from that is huge and so we're talking about
this Stevo jumped in rj jumped in and there was a - guys I went through
divorces in our groups and it was funny because rj said man a year ago i was the
person that stephen was saying nothing Bad's happening to you right now
your wife's leaving you life's falling apart finances are gone you fucked
everything you believed in gone from you nothing Bad's happening to you it hurts
it ain't gonna go away but this is the change whoo and talking to the rj now
who is he now what kind of a man is he now who is he man what would he be if he
didn't have that pain because he's a great man but he couldn't be that
without that and then the funny thing about that is his nine months before
that steve-o same thing he said man Steve Myra was telling me Terence was
telling me Nolan was telling me on the calls man shut the fuck up do the work
or whatever you was saying whose dick are you fuckin with who are
you in this world putting yourself out there whatever it was that was it was
being stated but those bad days those tragedies that lasted for three months
six months nine months the last of the entire year that fucked you for 2017
puts you in a shitter but what did you do did you K
did you blame did you get angry did you get pissed off did you seek out
masculinity in a fucking forum or a video series on YouTube like this one or
did you seek out masculinity in a brotherhood that brought you up and the
distinction is very clear to us because the men that we walk with together on
here when we have bad days when we have tragedies they hurt we ain't gonna stop
that hurting we pick up the phone we call we know that problems not gonna be
solved we know it's not gonna be solved but we gain faith in the process hearing
the stories of other men who found a solution when they were robbed
whether that they took their legs whether it took their wife whether it
took their sex drive whether it man that happened you know actually happens for
everybody the older that we did but this actually happened to a guy guy in his
prime you know he man he lost the use of his testicles of his balls this dick
robbed from him we are not gonna change that solution for you but what we can do
is guide you into the realm of masculinity that you can always find no
matter where you're at in your life that you can find it and that's the beauty of
it and see when we don't get that this is what's happening to men anger rage
suicide men tearing themselves apart over and over again looking for a
solution and it's not there and man we got a lot of pissed-off men we got a lot
of pissed-off men at women we got a lot of pissed-off men at the system we got a
lot of men who are given a shitty end of the stick but see here's the thing about
life and not to justify anybody who ever wronged you but the thing about life is
you are going to lose everything at one point even your life in the beauty of
all of this is there's where do we take that now who knows after we die I don't
fucking know and I'm not even gonna try and answer that question but I know when
I lost my ability to see my kids when I lost my ability got to be an honest
person or we were talking about STDs or they really
as a result of fraid of them when I got after the first person I had sex with
when I got my first STD Jesus Christ I thought my life was over there's one of
the best things that can happen to you because you learn to live with it you
learn the value of self-acceptance you learn the value of moving on of changing
who you are when you've lost things when you've lost your friend when you've
buried your friends when your friend calls you up in the middle of the night
and say man I need help and you can't help him in the next day he's fucking
dead because he ate a bullet how do you live with those things that you can
never take away and how do we change them as men and one of the best things
that we have is we have a circle where we talk constantly and we interact and
for us this is the energy think we're online but we talk all the time all the
time post on the private Facebook group the Mt Excellence Facebook group TS
online Facebook group man we're there if I can pick up the phone were there man
on these calls were there we check in we see what's going on we talk to the guys
who are younger asking about love or erectile dysfunction or porn addiction
or whatever the fuck it is all these different things about how do we talk to
him and how do we get over social anxiety all these different things how
do we go through this divorce how do we walk through this fire and the beauty of
it all is is that we come out better because we've lived through the worst
days of our life and there's gonna be more to come because that is life not
minimizing it not saying we shouldn't avoid it not saying we shouldn't be not
wise to the information of how we could fuck ourselves but as men we should
never be afraid to live because us in expressing ourselves the greatest
quality that we have our self-expression our ambition our imprint on the world
our legacy the plans that we had for that are going to be robbed and they're
gonna make better ones and it's the peace that you find inside yourself
cannot be made without living through the worst days of your life and who
would we be man just looking at this list of guys if we didn't go through
that if I didn't have that what the fuck would I be man I'd be somebody who
feared I'd be somebody who ran I'd be somebody who wasn't at peace with
myself and I'll run today I'll be afraid today but I have no no confusion about
Who I am in any of that and what I'm running from I'm doing it because it
might kill me rather than running from the image of myself in any case guys
daily awesome product cast well you know we recorded this on the same day as the
the other masculinity one and it's kind of a lot of overlap definitely check
that out but what we do here is we we are about men's development man we are
about empowering ourselves and and masculinity and who we are into this
world in the right ways like I said there's no politics there's no set
guidelines there's only the accountability of view and finding the
strength and power and yourself and the ways to let that out man we don't want
to be a culture of men losing we don't want to be a culture of men dying of men
being hurt of men being in pain we want to be a culture of men that have found
our power and put that imprint on the world that's what this podcast is about
also this is a new channel we have our brother channel which is the TSL channel
