Stirling Cooper is an Award Winning Australian Pornographic Actor. Born in rural Western Australia, Stirling started off his Porn career in 2017 shooting for smaller studios based in Melbourne. He then moved to the United Kingdom and used his experience and connections to get his foot in the door in the British Porn industry, shooting for numerous studios throughout 2017 such as the notorious Fake Taxi, Dorcel, and many more. His career started to really kick into gear in the beginning of 2018 when he shot his first scene for Brazzers in 2018 and after that was flown out to Budapest, Hungary to shoot for other MindGeek brands like Babes. He stayed in Europe for several months working between Budapest, Hungary, and Prague, Czech Republic building a lot of momentum and gaining tremendous experience after being cast by big names like Rocco Siffredi and the FakeHub Network.

Stirling now uses his wealth of experience as a professional sex machine to teach men how to improve their own sex lives and through his Youtube channel he also helps enlighten men on the virtues of living an unapologetically masculine life.

Traver Boehm – How Do Men Stay Anchored In Modern Times?

May 22, 2023 by buffs WP

Talking points: AI, gender wars, masculinity, culture, relationships, dating, archetypes, myth

All I can tell you is: this is a big one! Traver and I did an episode exchange for this one, and we always (I mean always) have great, wide-ranging conversations. It’s one of the bes gifts that comes from having old friends.

This is the episode to listen to if you want to hear directly from two men’s coaches who have hands on experience with what men are undergoing these days, and some of the ways we can regulate and manage what seems to be ever-increasing chaos.

[00:03:52] – How social media conversations have gotten a lot more intense—and why
[00:11:03] – How this is affecting men in general
[00:16:57] – So much bad s**t is happening. What does your average man do?
[00:26:56] – What used to be “luxuries” like a morning meditation practice are now tools for survival
[00:33:02] – The effect even a basic participation in online toxicity can have
[00:43:39] – “How do we get men back engaged in relationship itself?”
[00:58:43] – The greatest gift you can give your partner
[01:05:16] – Men need myth
[01:11:50] – Why AI needs to be trained on myth

Traver Boehm is the author of the books “Today I Rise” and “Man UNcivilized”. He’s a two-time TEDx speaker, men’s coach, and the founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement. He’s helped men worldwide to become UNcivilized as they wake up to the power of their hearts, the brilliance of their bodies, and the wisdom of their souls so they can blaze their own path by uniquely blending both the primal and the divine within them.

He is dedicated to doing his part to help end the suffering in men, and the suffering caused by men, by guiding them through their own journey into an actualized version of masculinity.

The Weaponization Of Psychology

May 18, 2023 by buffs WP

This is something I’m seeing a lot on social media, but also in everyday dialogue and even some clients: labeling someone with a definitive psychological term to shut down dialogue or shame someone else, usually without really knowing what’s being talked about.

This only speeds up our polarization and harms our ability to connect. How about we…stop doing that?

Note: the article in the NYT I mentioned was written by Dr. Tara Isabella Burton, not Bayo Akomolafe. I’ll link it below, along with his interview on the Emerald Podcast.

Dan Cnossen – Navy SEAL To Paralympic Athlete —One Day At A Time

May 15, 2023 by buffs WP

Talking points: Navy SEALS, grit, BUD/S, hardship, mindset, rehabilitation, paralympics

We had some network issues near the end, so Dan is coming back for round 2 soon! I’m grateful for every single interview I get to do, but it’s less often that I’m so deeply humbled. Listening to Dan’s story, and his thoughtful and considerate approach to such intense trauma, is something that will stick with me for a long, long time.

Listen to this episode for a gripping and honest look into the life of an incredible athlete.

(00:00:00) – Welcome and Dan’s defining moment

(00:06:09) – What was BUD/S like for Dan? What were some the greatest lessons?

(00:19:20) – What goes into being a SEAL?

(00:27:41) – What was your first deployment like?

(00:33:11) – How Dan lost his legs

(00:42:00) – The aftermath and the injuries

(01:02:51) – Where did the desire to become a paralympic athelete come from?

Lieutenant Commander Dan Cnossen was serving as the platoon commander for SEAL Team One in Afghanistan in September 2009 when he stepped on an IED (improvised explosive device) and was wounded in the explosion. The accident caused Cnossen to lose both his legs just above the knee. After over forty surgeries, Cnossen went through rehabilitation at the Bethesda National Naval Medical Center and later at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he learned to walk with his new prosthetics. Dan was awarded both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star with Valor from the Secretary of the Navy for his service in combat. Grew up on a fifth-generation family farm in Kansas, and his hobbies include running, reading, traveling, and surfing.

Here’s How You Deal With Regret

May 11, 2023 by buffs WP

Talking points: regret, purpose, direction

I was recently reminded of a powerful moment I had with an old mentor. At the time, I was having trouble deciding what I wanted to do, where I wanted to go, and I felt directionless and fearful of regret. This is a topic I’ve covered before, but it’s one worth reflecting on. Listen in.

Coleman Hughes – The Collapse Of Moderate Politics

May 8, 2023 by buffs WP

Talking point: centrism, politics, social media, racism, censorship, AI, China, CRT

Hot on the heels of last week’s chat with Amir Odom, Coleman and I dug into a wide range of topics. We mostly focused on political polarization and where that’s coming from, but also how AI might play into further issues, his definition of critical race theory, and much more.

Listen to this episode if you’ve been curious about any of the above talking points, don’t know where to start, and want a level-headed discussion. Coleman is a smart guy, and (I’d say) mostly center-right in his politics, so this is a good place to begin gaining awareness of the issues.

[00:04:33] – Coleman’s defining moment

[00:10:16] – Do you think we live in a death-phobic culture?

[00:14:50] – When you look at the American political landscape, how do you describe what’s happening?

[00:22:45] – Do you have any hope for the de-polarization of America?

[00:31:55] – What are you most concerned about re: American democracy in 2023?

[00:41:02] – CRT and education

[00:51:50] – Cultural power vs political power

[00:57:34] – On victimhood

[01:05:31] – Can you define a race-blind society?

Coleman Hughes is a writer, podcaster, and opinion columnist who specializes in issues related to race, public policy, and applied ethics. Coleman’s writing has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, National Review, Quillette, The City Journal, and The Spectator. He has appeared on many TV shows and podcasts, including Real Time with Bill Maher, Making Sense with Sam Harris, and The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast.

In June 2019, he testified before the U.S. Congress. Born and raised in northern New Jersey, Coleman briefly attended the Juilliard School to study jazz trombone before dropping out to pursue a career as an independent jazz/hip-hop artist. Shortly thereafter, Coleman discovered a passion for applied ethics and public policy at Columbia University, where he graduated with a B.A. in philosophy.

What Pornhub Data Says About Men

May 4, 2023 by buffs WP

Talking points: porn, stress, hentai, isolation

Every year, Pornhub releases a bunch of stats detailing how long people are watching, top search terms, when people are watching, and more. This data is from Dec 2022, so it’s a bit old, but I wanted to share some thoughts on what some of these stats might be implying, particularly for men.

This is an episode for anyone curious about porn’s implications outside of just “sexual entertainment”. I go into how it might be affecting (or a be a response to) other parts of our lives, and offer up some thoughts on what to do.

Amir Odom – Leaving BLM, And Concerns About The LGBTQ Community

May 1, 2023 by buffs WP

Talking points: growing up gay, LGBTQ+ issues, trans issues, culture

Fair warning, this is a different kind of episode than the ones I usually put out. I encourage you to listen to it fully. Thanks to Amir for his candor and willingness to come on the show.

Amir Odom takes time every week to reflect on…well, anything that’s been on his mind that week. Sometimes it’s current events, sometimes it’s a story from 10 years ago, sometimes it’s a conspiracy theory and sometimes it’s his alter ego “Jamal” going on a rant. You never know what you are going to get, but that’s what keeps it interesting.

[05:17] – Amir’s defining moment
[10:24] – What was life like for Amir growing up?
[21:34] – Do Black Americans still face systemic issues?
[27:27] – Is the culture most Black men grow up under not conducive? Why?
[29:14] – Broadly, what’s going on in the LGBTQ+ community?
[48:54] – Amir’s mission

Why Bother Getting Married?

April 27, 2023 by buffs WP

Talking points: marriage, relationships

With marriage rates seemingly at an all-time low, and most of the old reasons for marriage largely defunct, it’s a question many men are asking. It was something I wrestled with too. So…why bother with marriage? And why did I get married?

[00:00] – Statistics on marriage and some of the reasons we used to get married

Danica Patrick – Where Achievement And Spirituality Meet

April 24, 2023 by buffs WP

Talking points: masculinity, femininity, achievement, dating, psychedelics, competition, culture, truth, what men and women want (and what they get wrong)

Wow. Danica and I covered a LOT of territory in this conversation. Like, top 3 widest-ranging conversations I’ve had on the podcast. Listen in for everything from masculine/feminine dynamics, to the nature of truth, to sharing psychedelic stories, to what men get wrong about women (and vice versa).

This is a brilliant episode to dig into if you’re looking less for answers and more for wonder. Much of what we discussed is better served by not forcing solutions, but simply wondering about viewpoints. Plus, you get a little of everything in this one!

[00:03:54] – Danica’s defining moment

[00:11:41] – Women and the masculine

[00:17:49] – How did masculine energy show up in Danica’s career?

[00:23:47] – How does it feel to be told, as a woman, “You’re more masculine than I am”?

[00:37:17] – The intersection of achievement and spirituality

[00:44:52] – Psychedelic experiences

[00:54:24] – How has your imagination and curiosity shaped your life?

[01:08:28] – How do you view the masculine and feminine culturally?

[01:30:18] – What do women get wrong about men, and vice versa?

About Danica Patrick

At just 10 years old, Danica’s racing career began after her parents bought her a go-kart. After winning numerous regional and national go-kart titles, Danica left the Midwest at 16 years old to compete in the cutthroat world of European road racing.

As a racecar driver, Danica Patrick broke barriers and set records with her on-track performance. With her racing career behind her, Danica looks to her next chapter as she focuses on her passions: good food, great wine, fitness and helping others achieve their goals.

Moving into her next chapter, retired from racing, Danica’s focus has shifted to her role as an entrepreneur and business owner. Danica has launched the clothing line – Warrior by Danica Patrick, authored a book Pretty Intense, and is the sole proprietor of Somnium, a vineyard in Napa Valley, California. In addition to these passion projects, Danica also continues to do inspirational speaking engagements and she plans to build upon these initiatives in the coming years.
