Hosted by Kevin Young. Produced by J’aime Rothbard.
This deep, esoteric and practical conversation addresses the lack of positive role models and meaningful traditions for men, today. Jacob introduces the "Resonant Man," an archetype that aims to evolve masculinity into a sacred form that addresses current societal contexts and the importance of male identity. After recognizing the need for a communal space that fosters growth and understanding in relation to masculinity, Jacob encourages men to connect with supportive communities, engage in dialogues, explore their emotional landscapes and open to the potency of personal transformation
Jacob and Kevin also delve into: - The potential of the emotional gap between isolation and intimacy - Opening paths to greater joy by confronting and embracing our vulnerabilities, fears and traumas - Relating our personal internal conflicts to the broader struggles of today’s metacrisis - The essence of existence, the groundlessness of life and the necessity of accepting uncertainty - The roles played by elders, ancestry and intergenerational wisdom in guiding modern initiations for men facing unique contemporary challenges.
Overall, this dialogue explores how men can navigate their external environments and emotional landscapes, ultimately fostering deeper connections with themselves and their communities through shared experiences, rituals, and supportive communities.

Poems:
“Our hunger to belong is the longing to bridge the gulf that exists between isolation and intimacy. Distance awakens longing; closeness is belonging. Everyone longs for intimacy and dreams of a nest of belonging in which one is embraced, seen and loved. Something within each of us cries out for belonging . We can have all that the world has to offer in terms of status, achievement and possessions, yet without a true sense of belonging, our lives feel empty and pointless.”- John O'Donoghue, Eternal Echoes, Celtic Refelctions on Our Yearling to Belong.

“If we limit the depth of suffering, then we also limit the height of ecstasy.” - Jacob Kishere
“The partner you're with magnetizes the combination of your karma and your dharma.” - Unknown
