Episode Synopsis

Dr. Michael Diamond provides a guide for men to embody the modern-day warrior archetype. He challenges the common cultural view of the warrior as "toxic" or "devoid of feeling," asserting that the modern warrior is, in fact, fully connected to his love. The episode outlines four essential pillars that men must master to show up for themselves, their families, and their businesses. These pillars consist of having a transpersonal commitment, practicing discipline and accountability, understanding the warrior's relationship to other archetypes, and embodying the core roles of the warrior.The episode is framed with a sense of urgency, referencing the crisis of men taking their own lives and leaving behind "trails of pain". Dr. Diamond concludes that a man's "number one job... is to be alive" and that by asking better questions, men can enter a state of growth and show up more fully in their lives.Chapters:00:01:00 - Welcome to IgKnight King Podcast00:02:15 - The Four Pillars of the Warrior00:03:45 - Pillar 1: Transpersonal Commitment to a Mission00:05:30 - Pre-Deciding What You're Willing to Die For00:07:20 - Pillar 2: The Strategy of Discipline and Accountability00:09:25 - Radical Ownership and the 'AAA' Framework00:10:40 - Why Pain is an Essential Signal for Growth00:12:10 - Pillar 3: Integrating the Four Masculine Archetypes00:13:45 - The Roles of the Lover, Magician, and King00:15:45 - Pillar 4: The Three Core Roles of the Warrior00:16:30 - The First Role: The Provider00:17:30 - The Second Role: The Protector00:19:40 - The Third Role: The Procreator00:20:30 - Recap and Actionable Self-Reflection00:22:30 - The Power of Asking Better Questions00:23:40 - The Crisis of Men's Suicide and the Mandate to LiveLinks And Resources:ALIVE Quantum Chiropractic Care Wild Rose MembershipIgKnight the KingBook a Call with Dr. Michael DiamondIgKnight the King on FacebookDr. Michael Diamond on InstagramDr. NaniLea Diamond on InstagramThanks so much for joining us this week.
