73. Why Modern Men Need Discipline, And How To Nail...

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2026/01/12

For this week's podcast, I break down what discipline actually is in a world built to addict you - ultra-processed food, endless scrolling, gaming, porn, and constant distraction. You'll learn why discipline is really about self-respect, attention control, stress regulation, and identity, plus why environment and social pressure matter more than "trying harder". We also cover the spiritual layer: temptation, values, and why willpower alone eventually collapses. If you keep doing the thing you

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2025/12/23

Dr Helen Machen-Pearce and I explore what real confidence actually is and why so much of what we call confidence collapses the moment it meets reality. We talk about the difference between confidence and competence, and why untested confidence often looks loud, brittle, or performative. We look at how confidence lives in the nervous system, not just the mind, and how embodiment practices like centering, grounding, strength, movement, and relaxation shape how we show up. We explore gender, class,

With countless young men feeling lost because their past, present, and future have been stolen.

Here are some actionable steps to reconnect, find hope, and win the spiritual war for your soul. It's time to wake up. In the second half of the podcast I explain how I spent ten years completely lost - drifting, numbing myself, sabotaging my own potential - all because I couldn't

2025/12/04

In this episode I chat with Ranko Cerić in Zagreb to explore how economics, trauma and identity shape the Balkans and the rest of Europe today. We look at how Yugoslavia fell apart, why ordinary people can be pushed into fear and extremism, and how current migration and cost-of-living pressures are creating similar tensions in the West. We also get into land, belonging and the dysregulation that comes with cultural dislocation. A grounded, honest conversation about what really drives division - and

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2025/11/27

In this episode I sit down with historian and YouTuber Rudyard William Lynch for one of the densest and most fascinating cultural deep dives I have had in a long while. We look at the big question of where the West is in its historical cycle and why so many people sense that something is coming apart. Rudyard explains why today mirrors the late Roman Republic and how wealth, inequality, decadence and the loss of shared belief systems create predictable patterns across history. We explore cultural

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2025/11/20

What if everything you've been told about masculinity is a lie? I break down how governments, corporations, and even social movements manipulate the concept of masculinity to serve their own interests. From ancient warrior virtues to modern consumer culture, we explore how "being a real man" has been redefined to control behavior not empower it. And in the second half of the podcast I expose the five biggest lies that modern society feeds men about what will make them happy: money, pleasure,

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2025/11/14

I sat down for a conversation with Joshua Ferme about masculinity, belonging and the search for freedom in modern life. We talked about the challenges men face today, the role embodiment plays in building emotional honesty, and why many men feel disconnected from their own strength. As the discussion unfolded, we moved into topics like immigration and what it means to belong to a place or culture, as well as the appeal of wild camping, being outdoors and stepping outside controlled environments

66. Seven Perspectives On Anger - With Mark Walsh

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2025/11/07

In this episode I take a deep dive into anger - one of the most misunderstood emotions. I explore different perspectives, from Buddhism and psychology to embodiment and physiology, showing how each reveals a different truth about why we get angry and what to do with it. We look at how anger can distort perception, act as a signal for crossed boundaries, and even serve as a physiological response that affects the body and mind. I also discuss how culture shapes our relationship to anger, and why

Movement teacher Olivier joins me to talk about connecting dreams and imagery, the "longing" of the gym, aesthetics, auto-regulation, why we do sports, how to maximise learning transfer, the power of reflection, developing qualities, nonsense and play, movement culture, Instagram, nonsense, image hygiene and more.

I spoke with coach, youth worker and martial arts teacher Ranko Čerić about how technology is shaping children’s lives, health and attention. We explored what happens when screens become a constant presence from early childhood, how digital habits affect brain development, and why society has been slow to treat this as a public health issue. Ranko brings a systems view, looking at how parents, schools and the tech industry each play a role in shaping the digital environment children grow up in. We

63. Is Racism Against White People Real?

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2025/10/16

Is racism against white people real - or just a charged talking point? I explore the claim of “reverse racism” through recent UK debates (flag protests, perceptions of two-tier policing, hiring policies, media representation) and the historical ideas shaping today’s culture war. No name-calling, no straw men, just a clear, good-faith conversation about equality before the law, meritocracy vs. equity, and how to talk about race without blowing up the room

I sit down with Carlos to unpack a question every founder hears but few answer well: can a business genuinely do good and still be profitable? We map the Venn diagram of purpose and profit, talk about the kinds of people who join this game, and name the bad actors who make the whole idea look naïve. Carlos explains how scalable businesses can stay grounded in meaningful value, why shareholder-first thinking often fails culture and customers, and what practical signs tell you a company is truly doing

2025/10/02

Who should you trust on Youttube? A Harvard professor? A Navy SEAL? A bestselling author? Or just a guy on YouTube? In this episode, I question the modern obsession with authority. From posh accents and white coats to Instagram followings and fake PhDs - everyone’s claiming credibility. But what really makes someone trustworthy? What's the difference between truth, charm, and bulls*? I go through how to recognise real experience, false status symbols, and manipulative authority hacks used by

We explored how masculinity is often boxed in by stereotypes and cultural expectations, and what it means to live with more range, compassion, and authenticity. Daniel and I talked about vulnerability, the pressures of performance, and the impact of the “man box” on boys and men. We also dug into the gender wars, how compassion for men is often overlooked, and why

I sat down again with Miles Kessler, an old friend and long-time aikido and meditation teacher, to explore the urgent issue of polarization. We talk about why societies feel more divided than ever, how conflict shows up in the body and mind, and what we can learn from years of aikido, meditation, and peace-building projects in places like Cyprus and the Middle East. Miles brings deep wisdom from his work in conflict zones and spiritual practice, and we reflect on the tools that actually help people

I had the chance to sit down with Erwan Le Corre, one of the leading voices in natural movement. We dug into why movement matters far beyond fitness, how our bodies are designed for adaptability, and what we lose when we stop moving the way humans evolved to. Erwan also shares his passion for breath work, including his own record-breaking breath-hold training, and why breathing is just as fundamental as movement for resilience and health. We explore the difference between training for show and

2025/08/21

Can true masculinity exist without boundaries? I unpack why boundaries - personal, social, national, and behavioural - may be the core of mature masculinity. From saying no to distractions and addiction, to protecting values, integrity, and one's community, this isn’t about toxic control - it’s about psychological strength, responsibility, and self-mastery. Discover why boundaries create identity, order, and meaning for men - and what happens when they disappear. Whether it’s your fitness,

Why are so many men lonely today? It’s deeper than social media or dating apps - it’s spiritual, cultural, and societal. In this thought-provoking video, Mark explores the hidden causes of male isolation, from the breakdown of traditional communities and brotherhood to the lack of meaningful purpose and rites of passage.
