Rites of Passage with Frederick Marx
Today, Luke sits down with Frederick Marx, an internationally acclaimed director and writer with 45 years of experience in the film industry. Frederick shares his insights on rites of passage and how they can help young men transition from adolescence to adulthood. He explains that there are multiple rites of passage that are symbolically meant to help individuals "die" their former identity and be "reborn" into a new sense of who they are meant to be. Frederick discusses the importance of initiation, which he defines as being called out and consciously celebrated through public rituals, and how it has transformational meaning and intent. The conversation also delves into life-honoring celebrations, public vulnerability, and how Frederick has crafted his own rites of passage and initiation in his own life.
How Do We Raise Good Men?
How did you know when you stopped being a boy and became a man (if that's how you identify)? And if you're raising a son, how will he know when he's a man?
Rites of passage are critical to our development as humans ... but they're sorely missing from mainstream culture. Indigenous cultures and first nations have much to teach here.
A big issue in mainstream culture is that there's little guidance for dads on how to guide boys into becoming the healthy masculine. There's a lot of talk about toxic masculinity; we know what we don't want, but how do we teach boys what we do want?

Body Scan Meditation
Today I'm taking you through one of my favorite meditations: the body scan. The body scan is a wonderful way to relax the mind and the physical body. I've been using this mediation for the last 20+ years. You can do this meditation seated or lying down. If you like this meditation check out the work of Jon Kabat Zinn. Enjoy!
How to Stop Getting Triggered
Do you find yourself dating the same type of person over and over? Do you find yourself in the same job time and again, even though you were at a different company, it's a different year? We keep recreating the same patterns that are holding us back. Today we are going to break those patterns and begin to move forward. We will better understand why we get triggered and how to begin a process of reclaiming a sense of wholeness. You are allowed to love all parts of yourself.

Creating Space for Creative Ideas to Emerge
Innovation occurs by changing the context for how we solve a problem. When we give ourselves time to step out of our everyday routine we allow a change in perspective. We can do this by taking walk when we are stuck on a problem, bringing our team to an offsite for a couple of days to reset strategy, or taking a few days to do a meditation retreat.
By unraveling the stress of our daily grind, our minds shift into a more creative state. We see both problems and opportunities more clearly. The stillness of meditation slows down habitual thought cycles. This disruption of reactive habits creates space for fresh perspective and novel ideation.
