| Jun 23, 2025#408 - Entering the Dark — Episode 5: What I Learned About Masculinity in Total Darkness
There's a lot of talk about masculinity out there. Most of it's noise.
In the dark, I discovered a version of masculinity that had nothing to prove, nothing to fight, and nothing to perform. Just strength. Stillness. Surrender. This episode is about how darkness stripped me down to the bones--and what I found underneath.
I talk about the power of discipline without ego, devotion without force, and why surrender is one of the most misunderstood strengths a man can possess. If you're tired of performance-based masculinity, this one's a breath of fresh air.
Cheers,
Traver
