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.

Feeling restless is simply your soul saying YOU ARE MEANT FOR MORE. This cosmic call means you have untapped potential, and is a nudge to connect to a higher purpose. Kevin Sweeney knows this restless feeling well, as his initiation into manhood led him into deep darkness and despair. After a series of transcendental experiences, he implemented massive changes in his life. Now, he’s the pastor at the Imagine Church in Hawaii, and provides men and women with a loving, healing community.
