The Alpha Male Coach Podcast

Episode 349: Control the Inner World - Featuring Curtis McKee

In this episode of The Alpha Male Coach Podcast, Kevin sits down with Curtis McKee, a recent graduate from Class 003 of the Tribe, for a grounded, powerful conversation about what real change actually looks like. Curtis is a traveling boilermaker from Canada, spending long stretches of time working remote camp jobs across northern British Columbia and Alberta, and he brings a rare combination of blue-collar practicality and deep inner development to the table. Curtis shares how his journey began with a single concept that hit him so hard he had to pull his truck over on the highway just to absorb it: buffering. Not the surface-level distractions themselves, but the deeper reason men reach for them. Like many men, Curtis thought he could numb stress and frustration with a drink or a dopamine hit, but he kept finding the same truth - it never works. And what shocked him most wasn’t just that buffering was happening, but that no one had ever taught him how the mind actually functions. This episode dives into the difference between trying to control the external world and learning to control what you actually have power over: your internal experience. Curtis explains how mind management gave him something he hadn’t felt in years - stability, clarity, and choice. Not because life became easier, but because he became more conscious. He describes a shift from drifting through life to taking ownership of his thoughts, emotions, and decisions, using the Model of Alignment to label what’s happening inside and create intentional change. Kevin and Curtis also unpack something most men don’t realize until later in life: this work must be taught, and it must be practiced. You don’t just listen to a podcast and get fixed. You don’t read one book and suddenly become unstoppable. Real transformation requires repetition, feedback, coaching, and community. Curtis shares how even one hour per week of meaningful conversation with like-minded brothers created a foundation of growth, especially when his everyday world was filled with surface-level talk and isolation. The conversation expands into Curtis’ experience in the Tribe - why he chose to commit, how he balanced long workdays with intense study, and how he discovered something deeper about himself: he’s called to guide others. The episode ends with the story of the Class 003 gathering in Mexico, including ceremony, reflection, challenge, and initiation - culminating in an ice bath that nearly broke him, and a plant medicine experience that revealed something simple, undeniable, and unforgettable: Everything he was seeking was already within him. If you’re tired of drifting, tired of reacting, and ready to take ownership of your inner world, this episode will land.

Episode 348: Trust the Signal - Featuring Salu Smith

What if the “alpha” you’ve been chasing was never something you had to become… but something you had to remember? In this interview-season episode of the Alpha Male Coach Podcast, I sit down with a brother who’s close to my heart: Salu “Lu” Smith - a fellow Projector, a long-time student in the Academy, a graduate of Tribe Class 002, and a mentor who returned to support Tribe Class 003. This is not a surface-level conversation about tactics, dominance, or performance. This is an initiation story. A seven-year transformation. A real example of what happens when a man stops outsourcing his power and starts listening to the voice inside him that already knows the truth. Lou takes us back to the beginning: 2018 in California, a relationship that exposed the “nice guy” conditioning, and the pressure he felt to become harder, stronger, more masculine - not from alignment, but from insecurity. Like a lot of men, he got pulled into the mainstream “alpha male” content and the idea that being an alpha was about getting women, gaining status, and proving something. But underneath that drive was something deeper: a craving to finally feel enough. That search eventually brought him to this podcast and to the Model of Alignment - the simple but life-changing understanding that your circumstances don’t create your results… your thoughts do. Lou shares how he would come in and out of coaching at first, trying to “figure it out” on his own, until life humbled him into a deeper commitment. And that commitment became the turning point: not because the answers were outside of him, but because having a coach helped him see what he couldn’t yet see in himself. We go deep on what it really means to invest in your inner world - especially when money fear, doubt, and ego resistance rise up. Lou explains how the leap always feels risky in the moment, but once the decision is made, reality starts rearranging around it. The money figures itself out. The mind quiets down. The path opens. From there, we talk about Tribe - not just as coach training, but as a high-accountability brotherhood container where men hold space for each other to grow, awaken, and lead. Lou shares what it was like to experience Tribe first as a student in Class 002, then to return as a mentor in Class 003. Watching other men rise didn’t just inspire him - it expanded him. It sharpened his understanding. It brought new layers of wisdom online. And then we go to the hardest question of all: How do you explain “the lights being on” to someone who’s never had the lights on before? How do you describe awakening to a man still living inside the program? Lou’s answer is simple and profound: you don’t convince the mind. You invite the feeling. You listen for resonance. You trust the signal. And you take the leap - even when it scares you - because that fear is often the ego trying to keep the old identity alive. If you’ve been feeling that pull inside you… this episode is for you. Elevate Your Alpha.

Episode 347: From Confidence to Consciousness - A Brotherhood Journey with Josh

In this powerful interview episode of the Alpha Male Coach Podcast, host Kevin sits down with Josh, a recent graduate of Tribe Class 003, for a deep, honest, and grounded conversation about awakening, inner work, and what real confidence actually is. Josh’s journey begins in a place many men will recognize. On the outside, life looked successful: business ownership, family, responsibility, momentum. But internally, something felt incomplete. Despite appearing confident, Josh shares that much of what he projected was a persona rather than an embodied truth. A quiet dissatisfaction, particularly around confidence and relationships, eventually led him to search for answers. That search brought him first to the Alpha Male Coach website, then to the podcast, and finally into the deeper work of the Academy and Tribe. What unfolds in this interview is not a story of quick fixes or surface-level transformation. Instead, Josh articulates the difference between chasing external validation and cultivating internal alignment. He explains how confidence is not created through appearance, status, or approval, but through remembering one’s own completeness. As Josh describes it, the shift happens when a man stops trying to become something and starts getting back in alignment with who he already is. Throughout the conversation, Kevin and Josh explore what the work actually looks like in practice. Daily models of alignment, consistent self-inquiry, meditation, and a willingness to do what the mind resists are all part of the process. Josh speaks candidly about how challenging it can be to hold intention day after day, especially when life continues to unfold with its usual demands. Yet it is precisely this sustained commitment that led to profound changes in his relationships, leadership style, emotional stability, and overall sense of joy. A central theme of the episode is the distinction between happiness and joy. Josh shares how happiness, when sourced from external conditions, is fleeting, while joy arises naturally from within once the layers of conditioning begin to fall away. This internal joy becomes untouchable by circumstance and is felt not only internally, but by everyone around him. The episode culminates in a deeply reflective exchange around a timeless question: how do you explain awakening to someone who hasn’t experienced it? Using metaphors like seeing color for the first time or discovering a jewel that was always in your pocket, Josh offers a grounded and humble answer. There is nothing broken. Nothing missing. Only something forgotten. This conversation is an invitation for men who feel the pull toward something deeper but may not yet have the language for it. It is a reminder that the work is not about becoming better, but about remembering who you are, and then living from that place with intention, clarity, and purpose. If you are drawn to self-mastery, conscious leadership, and authentic inner confidence, this episode offers a rare and honest glimpse into what that path actually looks like.

Episode 346: Holding Space - Relationships From the Alpha State

In this episode, Kevin opens the year with a powerful transmission on relationships, masculinity, and what it truly means to live - and love - from the Alpha state. This is not a dating tactics episode. It’s a foundational teaching on consciousness, polarity, and why relationships exist in the first place. Kevin begins by grounding the listener in Universal Truth: circumstances are neutral, out of our control in the moment, and separate from the meaning we assign to them. From there, he revisits the Model of Alignment and the beta condition - automatic thought-feeling-action loops that shape our experience of reality. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how relationships, especially with women, act as mirrors for our inner world. As the episode unfolds, Kevin introduces the three worlds framework: the outer world of circumstance, the inner world of thought and emotion, and the energetic world that subtly governs how we move through life. He explains how most men try to navigate relationships from the bottom up - seeking validation, approval, or completion - while remaining unconscious of the deeper energetic and intentional forces at play. From a top-down perspective rooted in unity consciousness, relationships are reframed entirely. They are not about getting something, fixing someone, or proving worth. They are the universe loving itself awake through form. Every approach, conversation, attraction, and conflict becomes an invitation to notice where we are still operating from ego, identity, and conditioning. Kevin explores the masks men often wear in dating and relationships: the savior, the wise sage, the wounded hero, the chameleon. These personas may work temporarily, but they ultimately collapse because they are rooted in separation rather than truth. When the mask falls, the relationship reveals what is actually being worked through - unmet needs, unexamined beliefs, and unconscious patterns seeking awareness. A central teaching of the episode is masculine polarity as containment. Masculine energy is space. It holds. It does not chase, fix, or collapse. To be in the Alpha state is to hold space for all three worlds at once: the external interaction, the internal reactions, and the subtle energetic field connecting everything. From this place, connection becomes effortless, honest, and grounded. Kevin also shares his personal mythology around reincarnation, choice, and remembrance - not as doctrine, but as a lens through which to understand love, suffering, and awakening. In this view, we are not here to atone or be punished, but to remember, again and again, who we are through relationship. This episode closes with a simple but profound invitation: enter relationships not to complete yourself, but because they are in front of you. Hold space. Watch. Wait. And see if remembrance arises. If you want to understand relationships beyond strategy - if you’re ready to embody grounded masculinity, conscious presence, and real connection - this episode lays the foundation.

Episode 345: Remember Who You Are In 2026

Welcome to 2026, brother. In this foundational episode of the The Alpha Male Coach Podcast, Kevin opens a new chapter by returning to the core principles of awakening, alignment, and conscious leadership - while introducing a new format that will shape the year ahead. This episode sets the tone for what’s coming next. As Kevin prepares to summit Mount Kilimanjaro, upcoming episodes will feature conversations with brothers who have completed the Tribe coach certification and graduated through the Academy. These men represent living examples of what happens when awakening stops being an abstract idea and becomes a lived, practical experience. At the heart of this episode is a reset to fundamentals. Kevin breaks down awakening not as a mystical or “woo” concept, but as a grounded, functional process for becoming more effective in life, relationships, and purpose. Awakening, as he frames it, is not about becoming something new - it’s about remembering who you already are beneath conditioning. The episode introduces the Alpha/Beta framework and clarifies the Beta condition as a mental program: conditioned thought patterns shaped by upbringing, culture, biology, and repetition. This program filters reality, creating fear, doubt, and reactivity. The Alpha state, by contrast, is the observer - the one who watches the program, rewrites it when necessary, and restores proper cause-and-effect in life. Using the Model of Alignment, Kevin explains how thoughts create feelings, feelings drive actions, and actions produce results - and why separating thoughts from facts is the first and most essential step in reclaiming authority over your life. When the outer world stops being the cause of your inner world, you move from reaction to intention, from victimhood to authorship. From there, the episode expands into a deeper integration of three interwoven domains: the outer world (environment and circumstance), the inner world (thoughts and narratives), and the energetic world (your unseen blueprint). Kevin shows how mastery comes not from escaping these realms, but from integrating them - like piloting a ship with multiple control panels working in harmony. This framework is applied directly to real life, including dating and relationships. Kevin dismantles common misconceptions around attraction, confidence, and masculine presence, emphasizing that true connection begins with awareness of your own inner and energetic states - not manipulation, performance, or trying to read someone else’s mind. The episode also introduces Human Design as a practical tool for understanding energetic mechanics beyond traditional psychology or astrology, while reinforcing a timeless truth: you will never fully know another person’s inner world. Your work is to know your own. This is a return to the basics - but at a higher altitude. A call to clean the window, reclaim authorship, and step into 2026 grounded, awake, and aligned. Until next week, brother - elevate your Alpha.
