There seems to be a lack of high-quality leadership in the world today. We are no longer emphasizing training; instead, the focus is centered around popularity, personality tests, and book smarts. While intelligence is important, having applicable experiences and being in the trenches are even more vital.
Today, Johnny focuses on leadership, specifically the five pillars of effective leadership. Becoming a high-quality leader means being able to make decisions, being adaptable, communicating clearly, having integrity, and taking ownership. Focusing on these five pillars will ensure that you are a strong and effective leader for your family and your job.
Today on The Art of Masculinity:Why personality tests for leadership failThe importance of decision-making for high-quality leadersDebunking servant leadership and why it doesnât really existBeing adaptable so you can thrive in chaotic environmentsEffective communication sets leaders apartIntegrity means youâre willing to step into the trenchesOwnership and decision making in leadershipIf you loved this episode or the podcast in general go ahead and subscribe and turn on notifications so you are notified when each new episode is released!

In life, the decisions we make can either propel us forward or hold us back. Optimal decision-making hinges on alignment with our true selves and values. By regularly assessing and refining our traits and beliefs, we establish a solid foundation for personal growth and fulfillment. This process isnât static; it requires periodic reevaluation to adapt since our identity is constantly evolving. When you understand what can happen when you are in constant misalignment, you can empower yourself to identify and address key indicators early on. Listen in as Johnny talks about the value of reevaluation and how recalibrating your values and traits can lead you to find your true masculine identity.
If youâre ready to put in the work to become successful and to find your masculine identity, click on this link for our Step Into the Man You Want to Become workshop which starts on June 24th.

This is the fourth and final episode of our 4-part series called, âStep Into the Man You Want to Becomeâ featuring Frank Paul Vignola. In this episode we dive into Your Journey, the fourth pillar to stepping into a man that is authentic and intentional. Johnny and Frank explore the individual journey we all embark on, delving into what it means to actively choose our own paths as men.
Frankâs early life was plagued with battles - bullying, expulsions, overdoses, and then a 4-year string of incarcerations that almost killed him. Overcoming those challenges gifted him with a determination to develop a formula to help men summon their inner superheroes. In 2023, he released the autobiographical how-to guide for men, "Crafting Masculinity." After 10+ years as a coach for men, he has helped hundreds of men overcome their self-limiting beliefs and become men theyâre proud of.

Do you have a purpose or a passion in your life? Is it difficult to find your purpose? In one word: yes. Purpose must be cultivated, not âfound.â Cultivating purpose is hard. Youâll have to put in your time, energy, and dedication to changing the narrative and taking action.
On todayâs episode of The Art of Masculinity, Johnny talks about what purpose and passion are, and how they are different. He talks about what societyâs views on menâs obligation, purpose (or if weâre even allowed to have any), and duties are. How have these views changed over the years? Is it changing for the better or for worse? Johnny answers these questions, and talksâin depthâabout how purpose is qualified for men, and what this soft society has done to it.

On todayâs episode, Johnny chats with artist Mitchell Coffman. They talk about Michellâs artwork and his unique focus on the military. Heâs had a strong connection with the military his whole life and he works hard to make sure he can tell the story of these strong, selfless men. The military mentality and inspiration have bled into his artwork and lifestyle. It shows through his work, his views on improving his craft, and in how he interacts with people. Johnny and Mitchell also bond over their shared view on dedication and the frustrating state of talk-over-action that is so prevalent these days.
Leveraging a rich legacy of artistic influence, Mitchel Coffman is a New York City-based, award-winning independent artist passionate about storytelling. Art has always been a profound love of his, cultivated by the dream that his father, an illustrator, never saw realized. Driven by his fatherâs unfulfilled aspirations, Coffman embarked on a journey to actualize his artistic dreams.
Coffmanâs artistic foundation was shaped by working alongside skilled professionals such as animator Walter Storozuk during his formative years. Later, in graduate school, Coffman was a studio apprentice to the esteemed master painter Jorge Alvarez. The diverse teachings from these two mentors uniquely shaped Coffmanâs artistic style. Coffmanâs practice blends tradition and innovation. He aspires to create work that echoes the depth of his artistic journey. You can find out more about him on his website and Instagram.

If you had to decide between an easy shortcut or choosing a more difficult but correct route, which path would you take? How often do you cut corners when you know no one is looking? How are you improving your life (even in the smallest ways)?
Today, Johnny talks about what integrity means to him and why it is the best foundation when youâre building a ladder to your dreams. He also talks about why it only takes a little effort (done consistently) to start building those healthy habits which lead to maintaining a high level of integrity. Integrity is something we all need to take seriously. It can be so easy to slip-up when there are so many distractions out there.
Johnny uses a ton of different examples (the rabbit hole of binge-watching TV, being coached versus making decisions yourself, team sports, etc.) to show how you can flex your integrity every day. When you exercise that muscle, youâre showing the worldâand yourselfâthat youâre taking your life seriously and that you know how to make the right decisions; whether youâre facing something small or if youâre confronted with a big project.

On todayâs show, Johnny welcomes Jimmy Watson, a military veteran with the integrity and heart of a lion. Jimmy has seen and been through a lot in his life, which is why when MMA fighter Sean Strickland started spewing negative comments about the military (specifically Navy SEALs), Jimmy stood up for his brothers in the military.
Jimmy is here to talk about what happened, why he said what he did, his history in the military, and why he believes so strongly about the Navy SEALs. The most frustrating part of what Sean Strickland said is his direct influence on the public. What are the actions of this influencer and MMA fighter teaching the youth of America? We are all influencers to a degree, but itâs men like Jimmy (who show integrity, determination, inner, and outer strength) that show us what it means to be masculine.

What is something youâre uncomfortable with? Are you okay with residing in stagnancy? Have you been told that competition is toxic?
In this episode, Johnny talks about how we can use competition to âuplevelâ our lives. He uses two real-life examples of how he is challenging and pushing himself out of his comfort zone. These examples (pickleball tournaments and speaking competitions) have pushed him into an uncomfortable place so he can always strive for improvement.
As men, we are always competing against other people, either openly or in our heads. But more than that, weâre constantly competing against ourselves. We are our own worst and most determined opponents andâif we can positively harness thatâwe can use that inner competitiveness to motivate us to be better, stronger, and more powerful. Listen in to hear why, what, and how you can steer your competitive mindset in a more positive direction.
So what is it, guys? What are you going to do to challenge yourselves?

In todayâs episode, Johnny talks with Brent Snodgrass. They focus on an aspect of masculinity that isnât always accepted by all men: religion. As men, weâre coerced to look and act in certain ways by the media and society. Sometimes, weâre also forced to believe in certain things. Society has told us should only believe in something when thereâs proof of it, which can cause problems for those of us who want to follow a more religious path. Brett talks about why and how a religious way of life is a good way to find out about yourself, your happiness, and how it can lead to a fulfilling life.
Brett Snodgrass has been a real estate investor for over 15 years. He specializes in wholesaling, whole-tailing, creative financing, and business scaling. His team at SIMPLE WHOLESALING buys and sells 250+ properties per year and builds passive income streams by creating more than 50 creative financing deals per year. He is part of the real estate mastermind group The Collective Genius, and he loves to give back to the community by supporting missions and non-profit organizations like Transforming Futures and Agape International Missions. He also runs an entrepreneurial religious menâs group called Iron Deep.

Think about what you do when someone is giving you criticism. Do you tune them out? Do you talk back or try to defend yourself? Or do you sit quietly and try to see if their criticism applies to you and your life?
Today on The Art of Masculinity, Johnny talks about what good criticism is, how to take it, and how you can use it to improve your life. How does criticism fit into menâs lives? Does being critiqued mean you have a weakness? Johnny shares the biggest flaw we have when getting criticism as well as his experiences with receiving criticism well (and a few times when he didnât). The key to getting better as men is to stay trainable and capable of improvement because we always have room to improve.
Today on The Art of Masculinity:What makes healthy constructive criticism different?The flaws we have when we view criticismIs there a time when we become âstuck in our ways?âWhy we should listen to coachesGo to places and events where you can improveHow to give and take constructive criticismStaying quiet during criticismContinue to be trainable because you can always improveâImproving your gameâ with peer criticismIf you loved this episode or the podcast in general, subscribe and turn on notifications so you are notified when each new episode is released!

We have evolved, socially, to look at men as the protectors of their families. So, if we are vulnerable with our wives and children, will that expose them to weakness? It is healthy to show vulnerability but it is healthier and safer if we have the right outlets for it. Putting that burden onto your family will threaten the inherent dynamics within our families.
Today, Johnny talks about why it is important to find the right outlets for your vulnerability and what those healthy outlets are. He also talks about what our inherent roles are within our family and how we can put those roles at risk if we share too much with our wives and children. At the end of the day, it is our jobs to keep our families safe and we can only do that if we are taking these roles seriously.
Today on The Art of Masculinity:

Today, Johnny chats with Clint Davis about his new book, âBuilding Better Bridges,â and what modern parenting should look like. What does it mean to truly model for our children? Parenting can be tough, especially if weâre learning and dealing with our trauma. Clint tells us what we need to do to ensure we donât pass that trauma on to our children and the next generation.
We have to set our ego aside to show empathy and model the behaviors we want our children to attain. We have to repair the wounds we have with our children, so they donât turn into the traumas we have from our parents. Donât let pride stop you. Clint also suggests that we challenge it and check our pride at the door. They also discuss how we can model behavior for our kids, without imposing or projecting our trauma. We need to build bridges to save our kids.
Clint Davis is an army veteran, ordained minister, and licensed psychotherapist. He owns Clint Davis Counseling and Integrative Wellness. He hosts the âAsking Whyâ podcast and is a best-selling author of his new book, "Building Better Bridges: A Guidebook to Having Difficult Conversations that Can Save Our Children."

The world deserves a better caliber of man and we must give it to them. But who decides what that caliber is? Take a close look at what your standards are and what you think it looks like to be an embodied and aligned man.
Today Johnny talks about the roots of self-judgement, the flawed views of masculinity perpetuated by the media and our culture, and what you can do you reroute your normal neurological response to meeting your standards. Sometimes we are our harshest critics. It is important to have a high standard for yourself, but that standard should always be achievable and based on your values. Not the values that are placed on you by the media.
Pick up Johnnyâs new book, Design the Man Within on Amazon. Itâs a great book for men who are looking to start their journey of personal development, or for men who are just starting that journey and need a bit of guidance.
