This show is in the process of changing its name and brand from The Call To Courage to Fathers Sons Brothers. Einstein says, "If you can't explain it using simple concepts, you don't understand it well enough." After 50 episodes of The Call To Courage, we've found a simpler way to describe what we do. Empower. Courageous. Men. This simplification means that The Call To Courage has evolved into The Fathers Sons Brothers Podcast. We still have the same mission: Have courageous conversations with authentic humans that support healing, connection and awakening on our planet. No topic is off limits as we question old paradigms, let go of what's not working and stand together as men to create the more beautiful world that our hearts know is possible. We Are Fathers Sons Brothers. https://www.fatherssonsbrothers.com/

#7: 2,000 members in a digital men's circle - The Business Model
How do you describe your business?
Everyone in it for themselves?
When someone wins, someone else loses?
In this episode, Matt and Gareth share their entrepreneurial journeys and how they've reframed their relationship with business from competition to collaboration.
Gareth reflects how not having a coach or mentor on their business journey held them back. Matt unpacks the importance of developing your project's avatar, so your message resonates.
They also talk about the power of consciously developing your personal brand. The foundational tool they use is a "Personal Brand Manual". A simple document where you define:
- What you love to do.
- Your unique skill set.
- A project that the world needs.
- A way to get paid for this work.
This document provides the direction and purpose for this part of your life.
You don't have to spend the next ten years working on something, just for the paycheck, unless you want to.
Do you want to develop your personal brand manual? Join Gareth and Matt as they guide you through a self-paced 6-week experience to get clear on how you want to show up in the world and how to find your tribe so that you get paid for your work.
