EP215: Gary Hibbert – How To Build Financial Freedom As a Man
The Sovereign Man Podcast
“Never again do I ever want somebody to be able to control my financial freedom or future.” Most men settle for a paycheck without realizing it’s shrinking against inflation. Financial freedom isn’t about wishing life were easier—it’s about building strength, taking responsibility, and facing problems head-on. The real measure of a man is not what he earns, but the character he shows in how he lives. Gary Hibbert reveals how a brush with layoffs pushed him to rethink everything. He shares the lessons that turned debt into discipline, properties into freedom, and...

EP214: Dr. Cheryl Fraser - Pleasure Is Your Birthright
The Sovereign Man Podcast
“Kill the soulmate and save your relationship.” Pleasure isn’t something men need to chase—it’s built into who we are. Yet life, routines, and responsibilities can bury it under layers of stress and obligation. The episode unpacks why novelty fades in long-term love, why sex slows down even in happy marriages, and how men can reclaim desire by making intentional effort, bringing polarity back, and refusing to settle for “nipple, nipple, crotch, goodnight” routines. Dr. Cheryl Fraser cuts through the myths with refreshing honesty. She shows how...

EP213: Brian Slade - No Man Left Behind
The Sovereign Man Podcast
"Transformation is realizing you have all the answers.” Brian Slade is back again. This time, to speak to some men in the Sovereign circle. In the chaos of combat, presence of mind is the difference between survival and disaster. Split-second choices can carry the weight of life or death—not just for yourself but for the men beside you. The lesson isn’t about being fearless, it’s about cutting the mental “cables” that drag you into guilt, regret, or fear of the future, and finding the discipline to act in the only place that’s real: the present. Brian shares the...

EP212: Jake Giffin - Soft Men Are Targets
The Sovereign Man Podcast
“Find strong men to hang out with who you can feed off of and who will challenge you and encourage you in the best possible way.” Strength is more than muscle—it’s discipline, clarity, and the refusal to settle into weakness. When men trade ambition for excuses, or numb themselves with comfort and distraction, they lose the ability to protect, to provide, and to lead. Softness might feel easier in the moment, but it leaves men exposed. Jake Giffin lays it out: identity shapes destiny. Men who see themselves only as sinners or victims stay stuck in cycles of anger,...

EP211: Brian Slade - The Apache Falling Story
The Sovereign Man Podcast
“Sometimes you’re chosen, you don’t choose.” War has a way of stripping life down to raw essentials: courage, instinct, and the will to keep moving when everything says quit. This story captures what it means to face disaster head-on—losing an engine, losing flight controls, even watching a brother bleed out beside you—and still finding a way to fight for life. It’s a lesson in focus: chaos screams in your ear, but survival demands calm action. In this episode, we hear firsthand how one split-second decision meant the difference between life and death and the...

EP210: Larry Hagner - Why Fathers Matter More Than Ever
The Sovereign Man Podcast
“Just because I’m a dad, that doesn’t mean that I’m going to be good at it unless I learn.” Fathers shape more than just family routines—they set the tone for leadership, love, and legacy. A man’s ability to step into growth, create safety, and live by example is what keeps marriages alive and children thriving. At its heart, fatherhood isn’t about perfection, but about the pursuit of becoming better each day. The guest reminds us that thriving families start with men who show rather than tell. Whether it’s modeling patience with kids, leading without control,...

EP209: Geoff Tomlinson - Why Men Need A Men's Group Part 2
The Sovereign Man Podcast
“And it is nothing more than a construct you've created because you don't want to change, or you're afraid of change, or you're afraid of the truth inside of the lie. And inside of that lie lies the transformation you actually seek.” A strong men’s group isn’t just a pit stop for fixing a single problem—it’s a forge where character is hammered, sharpened, and kept battle-ready for life’s curveballs. The real value comes from staying in the fire long after the immediate issue is solved. Surface wins—like a better marriage or a stronger career—are just the...

EP208: Geoff Tomlinson - Why Men Need A Men's Group Part 1
The Sovereign Man Podcast
“When life throws you the inevitable curveball—your dad dies, your wife leaves, your kid gets sick—you need to be ready. You need armour. And that armour is built in men’s circles.” Men are built to carry weight—but not alone. One of the most dangerous lies a man can believe is that he only needs support when things are falling apart. In truth, the real work begins after the emergency is handled. This episode tackles the mistake men make when they treat personal growth like a one-time project instead of a lifelong process. Tomlinson shares his journey from being a...

EP207: Dr. Mort Orman - Your Anger Is NOT Always Right!
The Sovereign Man Podcast
“When you and I say we’re suffering from stress, we’re never really suffering from stress. That’s a myth. It’s like a unicorn. All right. What we’re really struggling with are various problems in our life.” A lot of men think stress and anger are just part of life—stuff you have to manage, suppress, or push through. But what if we’ve been sold a lie about what those things even are? Stress isn’t some disease you catch; it’s just a word we slap on real-life problems we haven’t solved yet. And anger? That hot, righteous feeling? Turns out, it usually comes from looking...

EP206: Andy Grant - Men's Mental Health Needs To Be A Bigger Focus!!
The Sovereign Man Podcast
“The freedom in being wrong is growth, it’s expansion, it’s newness.” Most men aren’t taught how to process pain—they’re taught to hide it. And when that pain turns into isolation or hopelessness, there’s often no one there to catch it. This episode confronts the silence head-on, bringing clarity to why men must reclaim sacred, confidential spaces with other men. Not to fix each other—but to be witnessed, to be heard, and to remember they’re not alone. Andy Grant reveals how suicidal ideation nearly cost him everything, and why he’s now...

Turns out, it usually comes from looking at something the wrong way.

He shares how your brain quietly convinces you that someone else is to blame, even when that’s not the full story. With the right lens, you can stop being hijacked by your emotions and start solving real problems while demonstrating the strength of of your masculinity.
Mort Orman’s been teaching men how to take control of their emotional lives for over 40 years. He’s a physician, author, and probably one of the calmest men alive.
