Boys, Mentoring and Rites of Passage
A Podcast Interview with Earl Hipp

My friend and brother in mission is Tony Rezac. He's doing great work for mankind from his web portal Basecamp for Men

As part of his Basecamp for Men outreach, he has a regular podcast, currently showcasing upwards of 38 conversations with men about aspects of their lives. I had the complete pleasure of being Tony's guest on a recent podcast where we both shared our ideas and experiences on the themes of manhood, rites of passage, and my personal passion, helping men understand why it's important to show up to mentor boys and young men. 

In that conversation Tony and I discussed the current epidemic of under-male-nourished boys in the country, some of the common and understandable reasons men don't mentor our young males, and the hunger young men have for those connections. We also discussed a force I call "masculine gravity," and how any man, even those who are uncertain of their value to boys, can take some very low-risk steps into man-making action. 

...some of the common and understandable reasons
men don't mentor our young males,
. . . and how any man . . .
can take some very low-risk steps into man-making action.

Here is my conversation with Tony about boys, mentoring, and rites of passage. Check it out and give me a shout with any questions or your thoughts on the ideas we discussed. 

Through Basecamp for Men, Tony Rezac supports men's groups, provides online training programs, offers individual coaching for men, and speaks (digitally or in person) on Men, Myth, and Manhood.
