Elliott Hulse is a strength coach, author, mentor, and spiritual teacher whose work has impacted millions of men around the world. Rising to prominence through his YouTube channel, Elliott pioneered a message that fitness is not just about building muscle, but about the process of transformation and “becoming the strongest version of yourself”—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.Drawing from strength training, bioenergetics, the work of Carl Jung and Wilhelm Reich, Christian mysticism, and depth psychology, Elliott helps men integrate body, mind, and soul. He is known for Grounding Camps, where collectives of men explore masculine initiation, rites of passage, and embodiment He is known for his uncompromising emphasis on character, courage, and surrender to divine grace.In recent years, Elliott has shifted much of his focus from fitness content to wisdom teaching—speaking on the integration of faith, embodiment, family, and leadership in a rapidly changing world.In this episode, I sit down with one of the most influential figures in my life, Elliott Hulse. I found Elliott’s YouTube channel at the age of 19, a few months after my father was diagnosed with cancer.In desperate need of male role models, I watched every video on Elliott’s channel, completely swept away by the depth of his perspectives on physicality, emotional wellbeing, relationships, surrender, God, entrepreneurship, and family.In this episode, Elliott and I explore:The body as a blueprint for the soulFitness as a spiritual pathThe mother wound and father wound and why so many men feel uninitiatedThe tension between doing and surrender, ego and graceWhat it really means to trust divine providence in a collapsing, rapidly evolving worldAlong the way, I share some deeply personal stories—losing my father to cancer, a near-death experience in the ocean, and years of wrestling with dissociation and embodiment—while Elliott brings in Christian theology, Jungian psychology, Reichian character structures, and raw, lived wisdom.If you’ve ever been touched by Elliott’s work—or if you’re a man (or love men) and care about initiation, courage, and spiritual maturity—this conversation is for you.Thank you for tuning inLinksForrest Wilson InstagramForrest Wilson WebsiteLuminous Labs WebsiteElliott Hulse Strength YouTubeElliott Hulse Wisdom YouTube

Veronica Love is a woman whose life began at the intersection of two revolutions. Born in the shadow of the 1976 Argentinian coup into a family who had already survived the Chilean military uprising—her very arrival was an act of both political and physical defiance.While her earliest years were marked by the echoes of gunfire in Argentina, she later grew up in a Chilean home in California where the sounds of kitchen-table stories influenced her becoming. These formative experiences led her to her current work: focusing on the biology of belonging, deciphering the cellular memories that dictate how we hide or how we show up in the world.As a seasoned coach, a licensed acupuncturist, a visual artist, and the CEO of Newfield Network, Veronica bridges the gap between somatic wisdom, conscious leadership, and world-class coach training. She is also the author of an upcoming poetry collection that explores the alchemy of transformation, rooted in the belief that our most poisonous experiences can become the very source of our liberation.Links:Forrest's WebsiteGo All In On Being YourselfForrest's Instagram: @forrestbwilsonNewField Network

In this episode, Forrest Wilson sits down with men’s coach and UNcivilized founder Traver Boehm for a raw, unfiltered exploration of darkness, initiation, and what it means to be a man right now.Traver shares stories from his past as a bodyguard and professional MMA fighter, and how witnessing fame and power up close shaped his relationship with visibility and responsibility. From there, the conversation dives into his 28‑day and 49‑day darkness retreats—why he went in, what actually happens in pitch black with no distractions, and how the dark itself becomes an active force that breaks you open and remakes you.Forrest and Traver go deep on grief, the father wound, and the near-total absence of true elders in modern culture. They tackle porn, the “Epstein list,” and why the first move is to clean up your own life. This is an invitation to men to reclaim their sensitivity and power, unplug from numbing habits, and step into leadership in their homes, relationships, and communities.Links:Forrest's WebsiteGo All In On Being YourselfForrest's Instagram: @forrestbwilsonTraver's WebsiteTraver's Instagram: @traverboehmTraver's Books: Today I Rise, Man Uncivilized, 28 Days in Darkness (available wherever you get books)
