How do you know if you're moving in the right direction or just following someone else’s path? Why is it so easy to lose sight of what really matters along the way? In this episode Rob, a retired Navy SEAL, digs into why modern manhood isn’t just about strength but purpose, alignment, and serving with integrity. From nerdy thug to ‘better man’ coach, he’s on a mission to help you find your true design without breaking under pressure.

To Rob, real masculinity means sacrifice without self-abandonment and embracing complex relationship dynamics. For him, success isn’t about numbers; it’s about health, happiness, and showing up fully for your family. When he coaches, he asks the big question: 'Why do you want more?'

A son's relationship with his father takes him through phases of Idolizing (hero), competition, demonizing (fuck you dad), and ultimately, humanizing. The journey starts with a rebellious departure from the father's guidance. It evolves toward success and a deepened understanding of his father protective intentions. The whole process results in an "amend" phase, where the son reflects on his father’s influence—even if it was harsh or abusive—and recognizes the lessons embedded in those experiences. It concludes with thanking his father for his lessons.

In a messed up world like ours, the best lessons are usually learned the hard way. Even though the world seems better, danger still exists in unexpected ways. There are always wolves lurking in the bushes. So, sons can't just go out and get free candy out there. If they don’t take responsibility & pay their own bills, there will be no one to help them.

Sovereign Man welcomes all unclear men who do not know where they are. It helps them find their path and grow, as society needs strong fathers, strong sons and solid men.
