Dad, you’re iconic. Your transparency and comfortably being huMAN has taught me many things... filtering the men in my life is one of them... being true to who I AM is another... I could say so much... but I’ll end this with I’M SO PROUD OF YOU. Keep teaching, training, and transforming 👊🏽❤️
Awesome message! As a new father myself raising a boy, your father's words are very informative. I try to really reflect on allowing my child to be vulnerable, authentic, and express himself. I discuss this idea in parenting videos on my channel. Here's the link if anyone's interested - ua-cam.com/video/yNOvHfcxvdc/v-deo.html
My son told me he was sad for me because I never met my dad. He said it's because I wasn't able to feel all the love that he feels. I told him that I'm fine, and that my experience taught me what not to be. 🖤
"How did you become a great dad when your father wasn't" "I simply gave you what I longed for." This was a tearjerking episode. God I love these videos. I love the respect that Lewis has for his guest. CRY LIKE A MAN. Gonna read the hell out of that book.
Much respect. His transparency is brave and courageous. He is my spiritual twin. I was on FBI’s wanted list for seven years and served a fourteen year sentence in federal prison. I was and still am traumatized. I have been Broken. Today I work in Juvenile Hall and teach young men about compassion and humility.
Hey, I don't know you but I admire your strength. To not only keep going through those tough times but to be a changed person and walk that journey and help stop others making the bad decisions that present themselves in their lives. Keep it up!
This man reminds me of my daddy 😭😭😭😭 My dad used to cry when he used to tell us that he didn't have any family and that was the reason why he loved us soo much 😭😭😭. I miss you daddy 😭😭😭. Miss our long chats around the dinning table on sunday mornings, miss your funny dancing, miss your manhood, miss hugging you.
I appreciate this man. I'm a Detroiter living in Nashville. Men keep things in and to them selves, and no one cares. So we are left to do things ourselves or not.
Lewis Howes , tks for all you do Lewis. 👍 ✌ Its appreciated. I've been gone from Detroit for some 10+ years now. But I'm feeling things drawing me back. When I do, I will be looking him up to see how I can help out.
True. I wouldn't say that no one cares but, that we as men are taught its tough if you keep your feelings in & keep pushing through. We as men have to be vulnerable with each other & that will change the way men interact.
Wow.. as a woman I always dismissed a man struggle simply because they didn’t understand mine or I felt like they didn’t care. In reality these men cannot help us if they are not helping themselves with their emotions. You can not relate to anyone if you are not vulnerable or even honest with your truth and that’s what I learned today. I will be reading your book cry like a man in order to be a good big sister and woman to all the men in my life.
If one man tries to reach out to another man it is often either sexualized or trivialized. But there is such a thing as friendship and I think it needs to be rediscovered. And it's o.k. for men to love their male friends. If we can do that we'll be more well rounded for the women in our lives.
Absolutely agree. Nowadays everybody looks weird at you if you walk down the street with a friend. Women don't have this necessity of living a community as we men have. Men built civilizations and empires starting from the simple concept of community. Nowadays you cant have a talk with strangers in town because they think you are depraved/weird
You should not assume that the media is a reflection of real life. It's the opposite. Many people, especially young ones, imitate the media. To be fair, the media try to sexualize female friendships too. Shipping culture has done a lot of harm, especially when it became mainstream. That said, propaganda can only do so much. Male and female friendship is very much alive and well and probabaly always will be because we can't survive otherwise.
@@fred96ful no. I mean. Women some are not good at being friends. Especially if you're a woman who grew up with women who had personalities outside of men and are funny and able to hold their own. There are women who want you to feel masculine because you are not like them. It is a real issue especially in my generation.
Every time I hear Jason talk it is beyond impactful and thought provoking. As a 34 year old male going through a bit of life change and looking to learn about myself and learn what it means to be comprehensive (as Jason calls it,) this podcast was an incredible start to my day and I shared it with my wife to give her a glimpse into some of the turmoil I keep inside. Thank you for the great work!
A liitle story about emotion...@ love ...my mother has dementia she is in the last stages at 90 yrs old. This woman has been a good mother but never told me she loved me or hugged me (my Dad made up for her coldness so that's just how it was ...my dad died .6 yrs ago @ I have grieved for him..Now at Christmas I bent over to my mom @ I said I love you mom ..not expecting anything back from those eyes that have lost there sparkle@ the most amazing thing happened she looked right at me @ said " and I love you to " my heart 💓 cried inside for all the times I've cursed this woman for being distant towards me ....what a break through ....at the very end I got those words out of her @ I felt she really ment it ... So never say never 😍 the thing I've learned is to be affectionate towards my own daughter all through her life 😘
I love watching Lewis' beholding and encountering his guests. You can tell how much the visits mean to him. He is a great interviewer that stays on task and yet he is vulnerable enough to show his feelings and let his guests talk. There are always great exchanges. Both sides of the desk always give and receive. Love you Lewis. And Jason too.. Also Jason, great beard!
Lewis and Jason, you have no idea how powerful this conversation is. It hit me right in the heart and filled me with so much love and positive emotions. Thank you for sharing.
Lewis, l used to cry rivers of tears, so much that l thought I would never stop. Then l did stop and, l hardly ever cry. That was until now. After watching you and Jason talk, l gained a better understanding of why it is good to cry. I still don't want to cry as much as I used too. It's taken me years to build joy from within so that l could truly feel it. Knowing that l am spirit and a child of God has truly helped me. Thank you. Love from Patricia G 🌹
Thank you for this message. As a mother of both a daughter and a son, I see that there are struggles for us all. Let's nurture, support, and respect each other.
@@lewishowes Hey bro, I just saw this so I'm replying as soon as I became aware you had reached out. Thanks for following up and doing your due diligence to engage with your audience and use this feedback to create more empowering content. Honestly, I resonated with Jason on the aspects of family. My father was incarcerated when I was 3 almost 4, and the early morning he was arrested is probably my earliest conscious memory. This is when my unconscious programming began and it didn't help that he was unjustly sentenced! This put a huge strain on my family, causing my single mom to work herself pretty much into the ground as well as my older sister to grow up at a really young age--she started working around 12. I saw this growing up and now being the man of the house I wanted to help as much as I could but felt completely helpless... We were all in that cell with my dad and it took many years to clear all that density out of my system--I still am, but now I see all of this as necessary and recognize the karmic cycles of my ancestors ends here. I have the opportunity to use all this as an empowering experience to make the conscious choice, and commitment to that choice, to be the man I know I can be because of the diluted experience I had of being raised with the intensity of toxic masculinity! Now, I choose to use all the wisdom to prepare myself to be the Father figure I never really had but always wanted for my own son when that time comes, and the partner to the woman of my dreams to give her the love that I know she is worth--giving myself the opportunity to receive the love I know I am worth as well. So when Jason spoke on how family is a blessing it really hit home because it's something I strive to build in as healthy and spiritually conscious way as possible... Thank you so much again for doing your due diligence on spreading empowering wisdom that inspires love, honesty, transparency, vulnerability, and true sustainable strength and abundance--while taking your audience's feedback seriously to use it to refine your practice. I pray that you continue to follow your passion and that you continue to refine your methods to create empowering change for those who are ready and willing to put in the work. I also pray that you recognize that with everything I expressed here you, not only understand, but feel that this is not being expressed to you lightly and that you're work is recognized and appreciated. Sending you an Infinite Amount of Love to you and Jason--my brothers in the movement back to Source! You're amazing bro, above all, I pray you continue just being you to the best of your ability. Much love brother, much love 😊🙏💗
Lewis, l am truly grateful to have been guided to watch your shows. You and Jason are the change that is needed to build in this world , what God intended for us to have. I was crying at the beginning, by the time l finished watching l felt really good. I felt strong and safe by your presence. Both of you are true, good and caring men. I am crying again, thank you, in a good way. Jason you described my husband, he was a hard working, very proud man who never cried in front of us even though as a family we have gone through many major life traumas. He took his life in 2013. I truly miss him, but to be honest, life is more peaceful now. I thank both of you for your honesty and for sharing such wisdom and love. Love from Patricia G 🌹
So many men are hurting. I have 6 brothers and I know that for sure. Jason is a servant for got and full of community service, which we need. Keep doing the good work bro and we will join. How fitting that he got emotional at the end! Eye opener x x x
This man is something special. I really hope people find this man and his message. Absolutely love when a person is educated and can have an adult conversation. It's not a race to who had been hurt more. We can every decide what effects who in any way. This man deserves a lot more spotlight.
I’ve followed Jason for a few years now. He is a great example. And I’m happy to now follow you Lewis! Thanks for using your platform to help heal others.
This interview is so powerful. This hits so close to home for me personally. Years of therapy has given me the tools to be self aware that I know that I am work in progress and has been a great help. Yet, as a man that journey can be tough especially from changing from that performance mindset. I think this a message for all our brothers, but something that Women need to hear. I can't wait to read this book.
Listening to this helped me process feelings I didn't know how to process. It helped me make sense of how to look at myself as a human that has emotions.
Jason is the real deal. Just viewed this interview and as a fellow martial artist I can tell that Jason is a great teacher/Sensei for his students. Respect to you my Brother and it would be a blessing to one day meet you. You and your family are in our prayers.
Lewis! I'm finishing this beautiful day whit a big Bless!! I have this opportunity today, enjoy this wonderful interview! CRY LIKE MAN! Thank you so much Lewis for this Big, amazing and fantastic Job!! Mr. JASON WILSON Cry in this video because he know, how many big blessed he have!! Love ☺
Thank you, So much!!! I'm sharing this with male & female freinds! I'm a mother to an extraordinary 4 year old boy & I want him to feel safe to be himself & feel whaf he feels. I also want all boys & men to feel the same. As a woman I want to do my part. We all feel pain & it's ok. Let's serve & live from more compassion.
I had a friend who was alcoholic and drug addict. I couldn’t help him anymore, I had to rescue myself and find peace within. I’m glad that we recognizing this problem
Wow! This is amazing! I'm really encouraged to see Men like this. I've seen so many husbands here that are not sensitive to their wives. They only think their "role" as a provider and protector. Forgetting that their wives have also emotional needs. Wives wants to here "I love yous", more hugs and kisses, more meaningful talks. This new generation of men needs to hear this. We need to get rid of our ego. Be strong and sensitive at the same time.
@@lewishowes It's obvious that you work hard at finding people who have achieved excellence in a wide variety of fields. The only common thread being their greatness. You approach them as individuals, without preconceived notions, and show genuine interest in their story. It's refreshing.
He has gone through lot!!! Now he is helping others thts so inspiring!! Yep it's ok to cry!!! I use to cry when I use to get angry now I have learned to express anger!!! Set boundaries & Speak up😝 Ending was so touching!!!
This is one of the most powerful episodes I have listened too. This podcast speaks to me in so many ways. I have listened to it multiple times.. Thank you, Jason and Lewis, for creating such a powerful interview. This is something that is important for all men to hear.
@@lewishowes Thanks for the reply Lewis! Two lessons stood out to me actually. The first one is to be fully and authentically myself (something I have held back on my entire life and has caused a lot of pain) and that it is OK to cry as a man and be open and vulnerable about your feelings and struggles. This interview actually inspired me to open up about things that I haven't shared with many people and begin to heal parts of my past. It also allowed other people to open up in ways that I have never seen. This interview has truly given me new perspective and courage to be more open and share how I am really feeling. Something I have never done before. So thank you so much.
I am a Mom to six kiddos (five boys) and a founder of a charity for 20 years for youth impacted by HIV/AIDS. In my family and at Camp Kindle we SPEAK OUT (Sharing Our Personal Experiences and Knowledge; Our Unique Truths). This interview resonates with what we have found to be true. Thank you for the work you do.
Love this! Thank you for sharing this. I am a mother of 4, 2 are boys and I always tell them its ok to cry. We talk about feelings at home. And every night during dinner we share a rose and a throne. Something positive that has happened and something negative(if any) that has happened during the day. This allows everyone to hold space, listen and support each other in a healthy way to process feelings. I teach women how to love themselves and I am so happy to see this, because MEN need to know they can love themselves too.. ALL aspects of self. Thank you!
I love Jason Wilson, first video I’ve seen of Lewis but wow what an intelligent, thoughtful and kind person. Definitely going to watch more of his stuff.
@@lewishowes everything from having life traumas and not releasing them or knowing how to.. to the fact that we are all prisoners of masculinity that is what i train men and the clergy on in my training's . its good to hear this from another perspective..
@@hearthealthyhustlebyjonath7414 Gwiz so theres this new catchphrase going around about "colourism' and of course its rebranded old news, but even so, lets press this using the case of lil kim. If we do we might conclude the victims of colourism indulge in the same victimhood politics as the LGBT brigade 💪🏻 Lil Kim for example "confessed" that she started bleaching because black men did not want her and openly expressed their preference for lighter skinned women. Leaving aside female sexual selection pressure and its inherent unquestioned entitlements, what is she really saying? 🤔 Keeping in mind that the highest power is that which can say "no" she is essentially saying she had less objects upon which to exert her power. She had a smaller pool of men to reject. She had less men to lead on, manipulate, insult, confuse, deceive and belittle. She ultimately willed to be in a better pisition to assume and practice her prerogative ; her female duty to degrade and deny men, and yet, it is woman who need protecting 🙈 If we cease femsplaining and turn to mansplaining we unearth a series of unique or additional insights, for example, the idea that colourism isnt racial but corporate. Men arent as bothered by "colourism" as its just another brand of the many ways in which we are called igly eveeyday. Women however take exception as it undermines their pretences to being gods. For a man to be able to say "no" to them means they cease being women; whilst he becomes one. We as a people have problems all across the board so why would women focus exclusively on this particular aspect of our sickness whilst ignoring and neglecting others. Its as if they treat our pathologies as they do men. If we do dissimilar and see it as an issue of branding we can suggest that the issue is with who gets to define worth, and what trend will be in vogue. Theyre upset that their dashion is out of style but want everyone to buy into their branding. But lets pretend this logic isnt true and presume this claim of colourism has some merit. Let's jump ahead to a future place where darker skinned women are celebrated and cherished, and call it nigtopia. In nigtopia our people still have no control over their education, housing, mass communication, employment, means of production, continent or global image, but the darker skinned women feel real good. Im curious; what problem will this solve? 😐 It brings me back to apartheid azania where the white elite classified the japanese - or was it the chinese - as honorary whites. Under no circumstances would it have made sense to bicker amongst themselves about their designations, unless they were in collusion with the existing antiblack power equation , which most these anti "colourism" claimants are. They arent seeking liberation, but containment. They want to be oppressed peacefully If these people were deeply upset ablut colourism it is unlikely they would be the same ones to mock african features such as complexion and hair and yet they're often the very ones referencing hair as picky, niggerish and nappy, whilst claiming mixed/diluted heritage as pretty or good hair. How can people claim to be against the source of their values and the system defining how they see the world? They arent; they want to refine the system not eradicate it because they remain invested and are the reason it perpetuates. Language, Neely Fuller and other long explained, structures how we see the world. It is as if what we see is ordered by what we think, which is determined by the tools used and programming our thinking. If however we fail to challenge concepts of "fairness" that essentially equate whiteness with purity and right, it is a battle lost prior to a pistol being fired. We cannot think like them and still profess/pretend to be against then. It doesnt make sense. +447939642873 Omalone11@gmail.com
This was a powerful podcast and much needed. Nothing but respect for the men who will be a stand and speak up as both of you have done and continue to do. I grew up with a father who was both emotionally and physically unavailable. I didn't discover until much later in life how much it affected how I felt about myself and the world I created as a result of my experience. It took years to unravel the story I created. This should be a required curriculum taught in school for both men and women.Some of the boys in my school were horrible human beings & I am clear that these young boys were just repeating a pattern. We come into this life pure and life happens, then we go out into the world recreating what we know.
Thanks Lewis,nthis is just what I needed to hear. I've covered up my pain and trauma from the past most of my life.This gives me more courage to be me and find out my own truth. Can't wait to read the book!
Insightful interview and one that every family needs to see. Jason, thank you for living the message of redefining what it means to be a MAN. Sometimes our brokenness can be our greatest blessing and bridge toward providing value and serving the world. Thanks Lewis for the interview very powerful.
I need his books, I just saw him on jre, I need this man in my life my choas in motion just doesn't work. This man is a good dude, I want to read everything he puts out it's that good
Money is the only escape from the Dream of the World. When one is able to stop relying on others for survival is when they are truly free to see the world how they choose. Until then, the World's definition of failure is more valid than your own because you need them more than they need you.
Powerful episode! Two great men discussing things that we don't think men experience! This is much needed in the world. We're so conditioned to believe that men don't deal with hurt which is unfair to them. This is where it starts..with open non-judgemental conversation. This type of stuff changes the lives of so many men as well as women to understand and empathy for men. Thank you Lewis & Jason! Your book "The Mask of Masculinity " is a great book! I'm about to get Jason's book now!
Raw emotions and a man who is in touch with and in control of his emotions; RARE. He mentioned a documentary. Where may we access this please?Deep gratitude for engaging and profound content. Appreciate you staying true and the magnificence of your reach to consistently bring enriching speakers and your masterful skills as an interviewer on display.2019 is going to be breathtaking for you Lewis.
Lewis! I have been watching your interviews for a few years now and just want to say THANK YOU for your service. Also, you have just become better and better at what you do! I can just see it somehow I want to say in the last year? (I don't always catch every episode when it comes out) Anyway, just kudos and keep going. You + the people you interview = a boat load of inspiration
crying is good, but peace is something you need to fight to keep. Someone said it ones this way. If you want peace prepare for war. Because the world will always try to take it, and without peace a man can not truly love. Like a boxer he trains and has a good heart, but when he gets into the ring it's time to fight. I'm talking in the Spirit because that's were the fight is fought most. Thank you both for sharing.
For anyone interested in processing emotions I highly recommend using the Sedona Method. The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida is a great book for understanding masculinity. I Am the Word by Paul Selig is good for anyone that's curious about spirituality. Great video. Nice to see more people exploring and redefining masculinity.
My “masculinity” is what allows me to be the be sad if I feel sad, feel whatever it is I need to experience.. and handle that emotion, include that into my character honestly and that allows me to be complete, at my fullest..
Dad, you’re iconic. Your transparency and comfortably being huMAN has taught me many things... filtering the men in my life is one of them... being true to who I AM is another... I could say so much... but I’ll end this with I’M SO PROUD OF YOU. Keep teaching, training, and transforming 👊🏽❤️
As a dad, I felt my daughter telling this to me.
Very glad to have found this channel and getting to listen to your dad. What a wonderful man.
That's awesome!
Wow, your dad is amazing!

Agreed, it was pretty tit-jerking.
“You can’t threaten me with heaven” 53:20 that just brings home all of the emotional liberation that was discussed.
Much respect. His transparency is brave and courageous. He is my spiritual twin. I was on FBI’s wanted list for seven years and served a fourteen year sentence in federal prison.

So did i , felt all of this message
Happens every time I hear him.. balling
He is so right at the beginning of the video :)
We should let no one define what success is for us.
100%
hard to do, but has to be done.
Lewis, l am truly grateful to have been guided to watch your shows. You and Jason are the change that is needed to build in this world , what God intended for us to have. I was crying at the beginning, by the time l finished watching l felt really good. I felt strong and safe by your presence. Both of you are true, good and caring men. I am crying again, thank you, in a good way. Jason you described my husband, he was a hard working, very proud man who never cried in front of us even though as a family we have gone through many major life traumas. He took his life in 2013. I truly miss him, but to be honest, life is more peaceful now. I thank both of you for your honesty and for sharing such wisdom and love.
Love from Patricia G 🌹
So many men are hurting. I have 6 brothers and I know that for sure.
Jason is a servant for got and full of community service, which we need. Keep doing the good work bro and we will join.
How fitting that he got emotional at the end!
Eye opener x x x
This man is something special. I really hope people find this man and his message. Absolutely love when a person is educated and can have an adult conversation. It's not a race to who had been hurt more. We can every decide what effects who in any way. This man deserves a lot more spotlight.
I’ve followed Jason for a few years now. He is a great example. And I’m happy to now follow you Lewis! Thanks for using your platform to help heal others.
Black people need Jesus, not Socialism.
That speech deserves our tears.
🧡
Cry if you need to. It's a part of the healing process.
I'm at the part where he just said "Man down".. That really hit for me. It's ok to feel.
Enjoying this.
one person had the screen upside down when they tried to like this video. Powerful stuff!
This interview is so powerful. This hits so close to home for me personally. Years of therapy has given me the tools to be self aware that I know that I am work in progress and has been a great help. Yet, as a man that journey can be tough especially from changing from that performance mindset. I think this a message for all our brothers, but something that Women need to hear. I can't wait to read this book.
Your page is soo underratted Lewis! I think the worlds mindset could change if theyd listen to your channel!
Listening to this helped me process feelings I didn't know how to process. It helped me make sense of how to look at myself as a human that has emotions.
Jason is the real deal. Just viewed this interview and as a fellow martial artist I can tell that Jason is a great teacher/Sensei for his students. Respect to you my Brother and it would be a blessing to one day meet you. You and your family are in our prayers.
Lewis!
I'm finishing this beautiful day whit a big Bless!!
I have this opportunity today, enjoy this wonderful interview!
CRY LIKE MAN!
Thank you so much Lewis for this Big, amazing and fantastic Job!!
Mr. JASON WILSON
Cry in this video because he know, how many big blessed he have!!
Love ☺
awesome book, must read Joaquin
Learning how to be masculine and sensitive requires delicate balance. I admire a man that has mastered it.
Thank you, So much!!! I'm sharing this with male & female freinds! I'm a mother to an extraordinary 4 year old boy & I want him to feel safe to be himself & feel whaf he feels. I also want all boys & men to feel the same. As a woman I want to do my part. We all feel pain & it's ok. Let's serve & live from more compassion.
I had a friend who was alcoholic and drug addict. I couldn’t help him anymore, I had to rescue myself and find peace within. I’m glad that we recognizing this problem
Love him!!! So glad you guys had this conversation 💕. GREAT INTERVIEW
Strong men cry. It reminded me of David Goggins, choking and crying when he got his award 🥇!
true!
Man he sounds so calm it's soothing. It's what you imagine wisdom sounds like.
👍
Wow! This is amazing! I'm really encouraged to see Men like this. I've seen so many husbands here that are not sensitive to their wives. They only think their "role" as a provider and protector. Forgetting that their wives have also emotional needs. Wives wants to here "I love yous", more hugs and kisses, more meaningful talks. This new generation of men needs to hear this. We need to get rid of our ego. Be strong and sensitive at the same time.
I love seeing men hug, embrace each other and honour each others work😍😍
Sir, my friend explained to me what success truly is & that is to have your
name written
in the book of life.
Peace be with you 🙏
"family is a blessing", I take that with me.
Lewis - You are knocking it out of the park with your guest selection in 2019.
@@lewishowes It's obvious that you work hard at finding people who have achieved excellence in a wide variety of fields. The only common thread being their greatness. You approach them as individuals, without preconceived notions, and show genuine interest in their story. It's refreshing.
@@andreszwei agree. That curiosity is refreshing to witness. Lewis is a true talent!
This is correct thinking. it takes work and effort, and concentration to process unprocessed pain. Love hard!
Welldone gentleman! That was beautiful ! Christ is the standard of what a real man is . Our success should be built on that foundation. 🙏🏼❤💪🏽👊🏼
He has gone through lot!!! Now he is helping others thts so inspiring!! Yep it's ok to cry!!! I use to cry when I use to get angry now I have learned to express anger!!! Set boundaries & Speak up😝 Ending was so touching!!!
This is one of the most powerful episodes I have listened too. This podcast speaks to me in so many ways. I have listened to it multiple times.. Thank you, Jason and Lewis, for creating such a powerful interview. This is something that is important for all men to hear.
@@lewishowes Thanks for the reply Lewis! Two lessons stood out to me actually. The first one is to be fully and authentically myself (something I have held back on my entire life and has caused a lot of pain) and that it is OK to cry as a man and be open and vulnerable about your feelings and struggles. This interview actually inspired me to open up about things that I haven't shared with many people and begin to heal parts of my past. It also allowed other people to open up in ways that I have never seen. This interview has truly given me new perspective and courage to be more open and share how I am really feeling. Something I have never done before. So thank you so much.
I am a Mom to six kiddos (five boys) and a founder of a charity for 20 years for youth impacted by HIV/AIDS. In my family and at Camp Kindle we SPEAK OUT (Sharing Our Personal Experiences and Knowledge; Our Unique Truths). This interview resonates with what we have found to be true. Thank you for the work you do.
Love this! Thank you for sharing this. I am a mother of 4, 2 are boys and I always tell them its ok to cry. We talk about feelings at home. And every night during dinner we share a rose and a throne. Something positive that has happened and something negative(if any) that has happened during the day. This allows everyone to hold space, listen and support each other in a healthy way to process feelings. I teach women how to love themselves and I am so happy to see this, because MEN need to know they can love themselves too.. ALL aspects of self. Thank you!
@@lewishowes truly a pleasure. I subscribed to your podcast recently and am enjoying it! Thanks for sharing your wisdom. 🙏
"I am what I have to be at any given moment" WOW!!! I used to say, "I am what I want to be and have to be when I want to be and need to be it"
I love Jason Wilson, first video I’ve seen of Lewis but wow what an intelligent, thoughtful and kind person. Definitely going to watch more of his stuff.
I feel like I just got permission to be who I was before the world told me what I had to be. What baffles me is that I felt like I needed permission.
I define me💯👑
We need more men like this.
This is an hour well spent what a powerful message.. thanks for sharing
@@lewishowes everything from having life traumas and not releasing them or knowing how to.. to the fact that we are all prisoners of masculinity that is what i train men and the clergy on in my training's . its good to hear this from another perspective..
Thanks so much for this interview. It really helped me out today. I've added your book to my audible wish list.
@@lewishowes I added Cry like a man to my wish list. I already have the school of greatness in my library. Thanks for the reply Lewis!
@@steelresilience Cry Like a Man is incredible. I was blessed by Mr. Wilson giving me a pre-released copy and it changed my life.

Gwiz so theres this new catchphrase going around about "colourism' and of course its rebranded old news, but even so, lets press this using the case of lil kim. If we do we might conclude the victims of colourism indulge in the same victimhood politics as the LGBT brigade 💪🏻
Lil Kim for example "confessed" that she started bleaching because black men did not want her and openly expressed their preference for lighter skinned women. Leaving aside female sexual selection pressure and its inherent unquestioned entitlements, what is she really saying? 🤔
Keeping in mind that the highest power is that which can say "no" she is essentially saying she had less objects upon which to exert her power. She had a smaller pool of men to reject. She had less men to lead on, manipulate, insult, confuse, deceive and belittle. She ultimately willed to be in a better pisition to assume and practice her prerogative ; her female duty to degrade and deny men, and yet, it is woman who need protecting 🙈
If we cease femsplaining and turn to mansplaining we unearth a series of unique or additional insights, for example, the idea that colourism isnt racial but corporate. Men arent as bothered by "colourism" as its just another brand of the many ways in which we are called igly eveeyday. Women however take exception as it undermines their pretences to being gods. For a man to be able to say "no" to them means they cease being women; whilst he becomes one.
We as a people have problems all across the board so why would women focus exclusively on this particular aspect of our sickness whilst ignoring and neglecting others. Its as if they treat our pathologies as they do men. If we do dissimilar and see it as an issue of branding we can suggest that the issue is with who gets to define worth, and what trend will be in vogue. Theyre upset that their dashion is out of style but want everyone to buy into their branding.
But lets pretend this logic isnt true and presume this claim of colourism has some merit. Let's jump ahead to a future place where darker skinned women are celebrated and cherished, and call it nigtopia. In nigtopia our people still have no control over their education, housing, mass communication, employment, means of production, continent or global image, but the darker skinned women feel real good. Im curious; what problem will this solve? 😐
It brings me back to apartheid azania where the white elite classified the japanese - or was it the chinese - as honorary whites. Under no circumstances would it have made sense to bicker amongst themselves about their designations, unless they were in collusion with the existing antiblack power equation , which most these anti "colourism" claimants are. They arent seeking liberation, but containment. They want to be oppressed peacefully
If these people were deeply upset ablut colourism it is unlikely they would be the same ones to mock african features such as complexion and hair and yet they're often the very ones referencing hair as picky, niggerish and nappy, whilst claiming mixed/diluted heritage as pretty or good hair. How can people claim to be against the source of their values and the system defining how they see the world? They arent; they want to refine the system not eradicate it because they remain invested and are the reason it perpetuates.
Language, Neely Fuller and other long explained, structures how we see the world. It is as if what we see is ordered by what we think, which is determined by the tools used and programming our thinking. If however we fail to challenge concepts of "fairness" that essentially equate whiteness with purity and right, it is a battle lost prior to a pistol being fired. We cannot think like them and still profess/pretend to be against then. It doesnt make sense.

Beautiful strong message that was very needed!💯🖤
“When you love yourself for who you are, instead of what you do, there you’ll find peace. Because peace is not an environment. Peace is within you.”
that beard is on point!
Wow! BEAUTIFUL AND POSITIVE words spoken BY MEN softly make the ❤️ cry LOVE THAT IS WORLD POSITIVE FOR ALL PEOPLE.
This was a powerful podcast and much needed. Nothing but respect for the men who will be a stand and speak up as both of you have done and continue to do. I grew up with a father who was both emotionally and physically unavailable. I didn't discover until much later in life how much it affected how I felt about myself and the world I created as a result of my experience. It took years to unravel the story I created. This should be a required curriculum taught in school for both men and women.Some of the boys in my school were horrible human beings & I am clear that these young boys were just repeating a pattern. We come into this life pure and life happens, then we go out into the world recreating what we know.
"We (men) need an emotional enema because we're backed up!" Profound.
Thanks Lewis,nthis is just what I needed to hear. I've covered up my pain and trauma from the past most of my life.This gives me more courage to be me and find out my own truth. Can't wait to read the book!
T
A cup of green tea and this episode was a great way to start the morning. Thank you both 🙏💙
Insightful interview and one that every family needs to see. Jason, thank you for living the message of redefining what it means to be a MAN. Sometimes our brokenness can be our greatest blessing and bridge toward providing value and serving the world. Thanks Lewis for the interview very powerful.
I need his books, I just saw him on jre, I need this man in my life my choas in motion just doesn't work. This man is a good dude, I want to read everything he puts out it's that good
Thank you brothers for that classic knowledgeful video!
The honesty of Bro. Wilson is unmatched and top tier. Hopefully, men and women can appreciate his insight.🙏🏿😷
Money is the only escape from the Dream of the World. When one is able to stop relying on others for survival is when they are truly free to see the world how they choose. Until then, the World's definition of failure is more valid than your own because you need them more than they need you.
Powerful episode! Two great men discussing things that we don't think men experience! This is much needed in the world. We're so conditioned to believe that men don't deal with hurt which is unfair to them. This is where it starts..with open non-judgemental conversation. This type of stuff changes the lives of so many men as well as women to understand and empathy for men. Thank you Lewis & Jason! Your book "The Mask of Masculinity " is a great book! I'm about to get Jason's book now!
Anybody else want to see Jordan Peterson and this man have a talk ?
I had to send this to every man I know , once I heard it. Very powerful stuff
I have read his book... He is a AMAZING man! Thank you for this interview.
You're welcome,thank you for being here 💜
profound message. thank you both. this was truly heartfelt...
I'm a woman with young sons and I enjoyed this interview. Well needed
Raw emotions and a man who is in touch with and in control of his emotions; RARE. He mentioned a documentary. Where may we access this please?Deep gratitude for engaging and profound content. Appreciate you staying true and the magnificence of your reach to consistently bring enriching speakers and your masterful skills as an interviewer on display.2019 is going to be breathtaking for you Lewis.
@@lewishowes woop!!
Every men and women must hear this healing conversation. THANK YOU BOTH❤
Lewis! I have been watching your interviews for a few years now and just want to say THANK YOU for your service. Also, you have just become better and better at what you do! I can just see it somehow I want to say in the last year? (I don't always catch every episode when it comes out) Anyway, just kudos and keep going. You + the people you interview = a boat load of inspiration
One of my favorites! Jason puts it all out there!
crying is good, but peace is something you need to fight to keep. Someone said it ones this way. If you want peace prepare for war. Because the world will always try to take it, and without peace a man can not truly love. Like a boxer he trains and has a good heart, but when he gets into the ring it's time to fight. I'm talking in the Spirit because that's were the fight is fought most. Thank you both for sharing.
Beautiful interview!! I know Jason can dance! I proclaim it :)
👍
Such a powerful message from a compassionate soul. Definitely getting the book and spreading the word. 💜💜💜
I'm so grateful for this interview. My good LAWD this has bought me to tears.
Thank you two sooooo much! No words to express my gratitude. Thanks be to God for your lives in Jesus' name.
I really enjoy this, I am getting all my tools in my bag for my future husband. It is okay for men to cry and our men need our supports.
This man is amazing and exactly what we need in this climate! ❤️❤️
Great interview! It’s the humanity for me.
Thank you so much for your feedback 🙂
For anyone interested in processing emotions I highly recommend using the Sedona Method.
The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida is a great book for understanding masculinity.
I Am the Word by Paul Selig is good for anyone that's curious about spirituality.
Great video. Nice to see more people exploring and redefining masculinity.
When two purposes align, soooo looking forward to finishing this and sharing with my brothers
This is extremely timely and next level DOPE y'all LOVE!!!
This was an amazing interview, so many jewels and I appreciate the transparency!! I will be checking out Mr. Jason Wilson's work. Peaces and light.
My “masculinity” is what allows me to be the be sad if I feel sad, feel whatever it is I need to experience.. and handle that emotion, include that into my character honestly and that allows me to be complete, at my fullest..
3 mins into it and already gave it a like. Like this dude and where this is going 🙌🏼
Love Jason Wilson. So inspiring.
