EP 443 The Embodied Masculine | Amir Khalighi

 

Most men are taught to look outside themselves for purpose: a bigger paycheck, a better title, more status, more proof.

Amir Khalighi sees it differently. The signal gets clearer when you stop looking out and start paying attention to what keeps calling you inward.

Amir is the founder of Embodied Masculine and has worked with men for more than three decades. In this conversation, we get into what it means to know your post, why purpose has more to do with responsibility than personal success, and what happens when the life you built no longer matches the life you feel called to live.

Amir also shares the experience in his late forties that changed the direction of his life. We talk about initiation, strength, the King archetype, brotherhood, the cost of secrecy and isolation, and why every man needs people he can tell the truth to.

And yes, I tell the ridiculous story of how one cop, McDonald’s burritos, and a men’s group in Brooklyn somehow helped create Man UNcivilized.
