The Rising Man Podcast


Welcome to “The Rising Man Podcast,” a platform where amazing men from all walks of life come to share their personal stories about the journey from boy to man, the challenges, triumphs, and insights they’ve experienced, and what they’ve learned along the way. Here we dive deep into masculine culture to identify what it really means to be a man in the modern world and to extract tips and tools to help EVERY man rise into greatness and become the man he is destined to be.

“I really try to protect my soul life so that when I’m sitting in front of somebody they can feel that there is room to move - like running through a garden as opposed to the chaos of a city ”

 

Very few can speak with poetic lucidity like today’s guest Richard Palmer. His curiosity and love for life’s great mysteries are thought provoking and insightful. Richard has been in the masculine brotherhood space for DECADES and has a novel depth to his shares which I’m excited to share with the Rising Man community. Richard’s passion for developing the next generation as a mentor is contagious - listen in and enjoy his sage counsel on Nature Connection, artful living, and elemental ritual.

 

Highlights:

 

[07:30] The message and mission of Rising Man.

[11:15] How did Richard begin his poetic journey?

[20:01] When was nature an important part of your life?

[26:30] How to discover your “daemon”.
