Authentic Power: Moving Beyond the ‘Strong Man’ Archetype in Men’s Work

· 56:57

|
In this episode of The Circle, Tim and Eric break down the difference between fear-based, control-driven power and a more authentic, heart-centered approach to strength. They challenge the “strong man” stereotype—where force and dominance prevail—and introduce men’s work principles that help men tap into self-awareness, conscious choice-making, and genuine leadership. From acknowledging bristling egos to exploring the warrior archetype in new ways, they show how queer men’s embodiment and personal growth practices can foster resilience, vulnerability, and deeper connection. If you’re ready to step beyond old models of masculinity and embrace authentic power that builds trust, admiration, and harmony, this episode is for you. Are you ready to go all in?
