Podcast Description
SUCCESS from MASCULINITY exposed.
Join former military commander, special ops communicator director, and White House military lead turned international bestselling author ATLAS AULTMAN as he collects stories, lessons, and wisdom from Hall of Famers, World Champions, and everyday men turned HEROES.
Together we’ll uncover definitions of strength, grit, mindsets, and success stories from personal journeys in leadership through life as men who have weathered the storms of life while finding wins. Listen as they tell us about decisions they made, leading them to win as men, despite being - TARGETED - by a society that may label them as toxic, rugged, or old-school.
If you are looking for an inner edge, this podcast is for you. Don’t talk about it, share the show with other men so they can get their own lessons, then talk about it.
Let’s set the record straight, one week at a time.
