As Memorial Day approaches, there's no better time to have a brutally honest conversation about what it means to be a man in America today and why that question has never mattered more. From the assault on boyhood to the spiritual warfare playing out in our homes, our military, and our culture, someone has to name what's really happening. Today, we do exactly that.
I’m joined by former Marine Recon, Chad Robichaux and, today we cover everything from the manufactured collapse of masculinity to what our military is facing in a post-COVID world, what real leadership looks like, and why faith (not politics) is the only thing that holds when everything else falls apart. Whether you're a veteran, a father, or a man trying to figure out where you stand, this one's for you.
Chad Robichaux is a former Force Recon Marine and DoD Contractor who completed eight deployments to Afghanistan as part of a Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) Task Force. After overcoming his own battles with PTSD and nearly becoming a veteran suicide statistic, he founded Mighty Oaks, a leading nonprofit serving the military and first responder communities with highly effective, faith-based resiliency and recovery programs. He has spoken to over 500,000 active-duty troops and led life-saving programs for approximately 7,000 warriors at Mighty Oaks Ranches across the nation.
In 2021, Chad led the largest civilian evacuation in American history, rescuing over 17,000 people trapped during the Afghanistan withdrawal (a story told in his Wall Street Journal bestselling book Saving Aziz), which is currently being developed as a major motion picture. He is also a Fox News contributor, a board-certified pastoral counselor, and co-author of the thriller series Silent Horizons, featuring Special Ops hero Foster Quinn, the protagonist of his newest novel, Riptide.
Just a quick break, gents. I want to tell you about something I genuinely believe in. If you're a man who's been feeling like something's missing whether it’s purpose, brotherhood, accountability, a place where men actually sharpen each other, I want you to join us for the Iron Council Preview Call on Tuesday, May 19th at 8:00 PM Eastern.
This isn't a sales pitch. It's a real conversation about what it looks like to build a life of intentional manhood grounded in something bigger than yourself, forged in community, and committed to our standards of performance. Iron Council exists because isolated men are losing the war that matters most….the one at home, in the mirror, and in the spirit.If that resonates, show up. May 19th. 8 PM Eastern. Get the details and register at www.theironcouncil.com/preview. Don't miss it.
Free tools, tactics and techniques to help you be the man you were meant to be.
