Would you rather donate money to a good cause or risk your life for it? Today, you’ll meet a man who’s dedicated his life to doing both. In this episode of The Modern Man, I’m joined by Paul Hutchinson, an investor, philanthropist, business owner, Founder of Child Liberation Foundation and Liberating Humanity, and Executive Producer of the film “Sound of Freedom”.   Even after his countless successes in life, Paul believes his greatest success has been failing twice in marriage and finally figuring it out on his third try. I would argue his greatest success has been going undercover with the CIA and risking his life over 70 times to save thousands of children from child trafficking operations across 15 countries.   Surely, we can all learn one thing from failure: Failure has the power to propel you forward if you let it.   Remember guys, he who has a powerful, positive impact in the most lives wins. Paul says that’s what life is all about. Keep spreading your love and light in this world and good fortune will come your way, even if you experience failure.   “Almost all of us have had things happen to us that we haven’t talked about, you know, things when we were children, whatever else, and all of us have done things that we’re not proud of… but that’s okay. That doesn’t define you today.” – Paul Hutchinson   Key Takeaways / What You’ll Learn: (00:56) About Paul Hutchinson. (02:58) How to change your perception of failure so it can propel you forward. (07:11) How business success and philanthropy fuel each other. (14:09) The dark origin story of Child Liberation Foundation(Paul’s first rescue).

In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Zack Blakeney, a spiritual porn recovery coach who empowers men to quit porn for good, heal the shame associated with it, and rise to the highest version of themselves. Zack is here to shed light on his dark, yet profound experience recovering from a 16-year porn addiction, and what you can do if you’re in a similar place. He addresses the impact that society’s shame around sex has on men, then gives you actionable steps and advice on how to quit porn for good and move forward in life without shame.   You’ll hear Zack’s insights on how to leverage the energy of “doing” instead of “trying” to quit your unhealthy habit and why that’s a crucial distinction. Plus, you’ll learn ways to rebuild your personal relationships (and your relationship with yourself) after porn addiction.   Are you using porn in a way that doesn’t align with you? Do you feel shameful or secretive about your porn usage? Zack has the framework you need to break free from your usage/addiction and feel like your best self.   Remember, things that you would call miracles are an everyday occurrence when you do the inner work.   “The things that we’re proud of, we openly talk about. The things that we’re shameful about, we hide. The hard part about this is that when we’re hiding things, it’s not like it doesn’t exist; it empowers it to take more control over us.” – Zack Blakeney   “For men that are trying to push themselves to the next level of who they are… you can’t get there until you start to confront the things that are preventing you from being that.”  – Zack Blakeney   Key Takeaways / What You’ll Learn: (00:52) About Zack Blakeney.
