It’s a private group of guys who want clarity, direction, and momentum again, without overthinking everything alone. ----------------------------------- Neil Kramer is back. We go deep on Media, Empire, Elections, Immigration, Universal Basic Income. Scrolling addiction, Faith, and Purpose. And the psychological war being waged on modern men. Neil suggests what we call “news” is theatre. That elections may not be what we think. That mass distraction is spiritual bleeding. And that the real battlefield isn’t physical — it’s your mind, your soul, your will. We explore: Why constant scrolling is modern-day blood loss Whether Universal Basic Income is compassion… or control The architecture of power: religion, money, military, media Why men feel lost in an age of comfort The difference between surviving and maturing Why suffering may be part of the curriculum And why, despite the chaos… this might be the most exciting time to be alive. This isn’t a surface-level political chat. It’s a conversation about spiritual reality, responsibility, masculinity, and truth. If you’ve felt something is “off” in the world… But you can’t quite articulate what… This one’s for you.

Take the quiz now and get your score www.wholemanacademy.com/quiz [www.wholemanacademy.com/quiz] Most men don’t talk about divorce until it’s already blowing their life up. In this episode I sit down with David Kite, a divorce consultant who’s lived it, not just studied it — and we get into the real side of separation as a man: How you slowly lose yourself in a relationship without even noticing Why divorce doesn’t start when the papers arrive… it starts years earlier The identity crash of “Who am I now?” when you’re no longer the husband, the provider, the family man Trying to keep working, keep earning, keep it together… on two hours’ sleep The guilt, the anger, the late–night panic about money, kids, future And how to rebuild yourself after it all — not as a broken man, but as a more interesting, more alive man If you’re in a marriage that feels off… if you’re mid–divorce and hanging on by your fingernails… or if you’ve come out the other side and you’re trying to work out what the next chapter looks like — this one is for you. Because divorce can wreck you, or it can wake you up. https://dkdivorceconsultants.co.uk [https://dkdivorceconsultants.co.uk]

Ep141 - Spectacularly Direct - Brad Burton

This week I sit down with the UK's No1 Motivational Business Speaker, Brad Burton. https://www.bradburton.biz He's the highest-rated motivational business author on Amazon. The UK's No.1 Motivational Business speaker. The author of 4 best-selling books. The founder of the largest business network in the UK. In 2022, Brad sold his business, after 16 years at the top of the networking scene. But Brad's life wasn't always rainbows and butterflies. As a kid, he grew up on a council estate. Had no qualifications. Spent years on benefits. By 31 he was in £25,000 worth of personal debt and delivering pizza. How did he go from 31-year-old pizza delivery man to the distinguished businessman he is today? Mindset. He changed his life with his mindset. Now, he helps global organisations, CEOs and their teams to do it at the highest level. He's humble. Hilarious. Human. But more importantly, he's a specialist at using the lessons from his life to move audiences. Renowned across the UK for his dynamic and energetic presentation style. Brad's approach and delivery is unlike anything you've ever seen or heard before. He is one of the most powerful speakers you'll ever have the pleasure of watching. Followed by inspiration to make change, take action, be better. That's the Brad Burton effect.
