Most men are winging it. No rite of passage. No initiation. No moment that says, “Now you’re a man.”

Adam Jeremiah knows that void firsthand. Raised without a father, he searched for structure in the Marines, on oil rigs, in business, and in academia. He built it all - then lost it all. Homeless. Hopeless. Until two moments shattered him open: a psychedelic confrontation with truth, and the look of fear in his son’s eyes when he raised his voice.

In this raw conversation, Adam shares how he began reclaiming his life and why today’s men are starving for the clarity, pain, and purpose that only initiation provides. From masculine archetypes to tribal rites of passage - and even beard growth as a modern-day symbol - this episode explores what it really takes to earn your edge as a man.
