Gunter has given keynotes all over Australia, NYC and Los Angeles as well as being a TEDx Speaker. <br /><br />Author<br />We all have a story. Stories that touch us the most are about that moment when we make the choice to be real, to drop any pretense of pride, power and position. In that telling moment we step into a new space where our ability to overcome fear allows us to be truly authentic in our relationship to the world. In that moment we become fully human. Gunter has authored a novel Mountains of Sea published by Winterwolf Press and he self-published the non-fiction, Making Good Men Great: Surfing the New Wave of Masculinity.

Growth. Purpose. Making Good Men Great.<br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways</b><ul><li>Why Big Yellow Taxi still resonates more than 50 years later.</li><li>The psychology behind loss aversion and appreciation.</li><li>Understanding solastalgia and ecological grief.</li><li>Why humor can help us process difficult emotions.</li><li>How environmental loss mirrors personal attachment.</li><li>A simple practice for noticing what still matters.</li></ul><b>Gratitude</b><br />We want to extend a huge thank you to our listeners in Sparks for bringing Nevada to #10 on the Top 10 USA listeners list!

Growth. Purpose. Making Good Men Great.<br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways</b><ul><li>Why Big Yellow Taxi still resonates more than 50 years later.</li><li>The psychology behind loss aversion and appreciation.</li><li>Understanding solastalgia and ecological grief.</li><li>Why humor can help us process difficult emotions.</li><li>How environmental loss mirrors personal attachment.</li><li>A simple practice for noticing what still matters.</li></ul><b>Gratitude</b><br />We want to extend a huge thank you to our listeners in Sparks for bringing Nevada to #10 on the Top 10 USA listeners list!

These environments can offer a sense of belonging, but frequently at the cost of reinforcing harmful narratives about gender, relationships, and self-worth.Drawing on research, including findings from schools, this conversation looks at how these patterns are showing up in real-world environments—and why educators, parents, and communities must engage more directly.At the core of this discussion is a deeper question:What kind of masculinity are we modeling—and what are boys learning from it?Rather than reacting with blame, this episode points toward constructive responses—grounded in connection, accountability, and a more meaningful understanding of masculinity.Because shaping the future of masculinity isn’t just a cultural issue—it’s a collective responsibility.<br /><br /><b>In This Episode</b><br />• How the Manosphere and online spaces influence boys’ attitudes<br />• The role of social media algorithms in amplifying harmful content<br />• Research on misogyny and harassment in school environments<br />• The psychological impact of hegemonic masculinity<br />• Why belonging is a central driver in boys’ development<br />• The role of parents, educators, and communities in shaping outcomes<br />• Practical and policy-based responses to support healthier masculinity<br /><br /><b>Key Insights</b><br />“Boys need a sense of belonging.”<br />“Schools and communities are crucial.”<br />“Parents and educators must engage.”<br /><br /><b>Episode Breakdown</b><br />Introduction to the topic and emerging concerns<br />The rise of misogyny in school environments<br />Understanding the ecosystem of masculinity<br />The influence of online figures and “manfluencers”<br />Research findings and real-world implicationsResponses and recommendations for change<br />The need for a broader cultural shift<br />Closing reflections and call to action<br /><br /><b>Gratitude</b><br />Hello to all our listeners, we thank you for tuning in and supporting positive social change, which makes you a part of Gunter’s efforts in transforming not only men's lives but lives in general and we are grateful you have joined us.

Gunter breaks down how this dynamic operates, why it’s so effective, and how to recognize it before it takes hold.The conversation also examines narcissism—not as a label to assign, but as a defensive structure that can shape behavior in relationships. By understanding what’s underneath these patterns, we can move away from reaction and toward clarity.Importantly, this episode also addresses common misinterpretations—such as confusing neurodivergent traits with manipulation—and highlights the need for discernment rather than assumption.At its core, this is a conversation about reclaiming your internal authority.Through the lens of emotional intelligence and self-awareness, Gunter outlines the foundational elements of healthy relationships—built on love, respect, cooperation, and the ability to repair when things go wrong.Because clarity isn’t just about seeing others clearly—it’s about learning to trust yourself again.<br /><br /><b>In This Episode</b><br />• What gaslighting is and how it destabilizes your sense of reality<br />• Why narcissism functions as a defensive structure<br />• The difference between manipulation and neurodivergent behavior<br />• How masculinity socialization can impact emotional expression• The core values of healthy relationships: love, respect, and cooperation<br />• The four capacities of healthy relationships: reality recognition, accountability, empathy, and repair<br />• How to rebuild clarity, boundaries, and self-trust<br /><br /><b>Key Insights“</b><br />"Gaslighting erodes your internal authority.”<br />“Autism does not inherently involve manipulation.”<br />“Ask yourself, what do I know to be true?”<br /><br /><b>Gratitude</b><br />Hello to all our listeners, we thank you for tuning in and promotingsupportingpositive social change, which This makes you a part of Gunter’s efforts in transforming not only men's lives but lives in general and we are grateful you have joined us.  This week we would like to  our shoutout goes to Pittsburgh, St. Mary's, Philadelphia, and Altoona (al-toon-uh) and St. Mary's for bringing Pennsylvania all the wayto #1 on our top 10 USA listeners list!  For our Global Listeners List, we wanted to shout out our listeners in Phuket (poo-ket) for getting Thailand into the top 20 for the first time EVER at #17!<br />CONGRATULATIONS!!!<br />We thank you so much for your continued support as we appreciate your efforts toward positive social change! I, DeVonna Prinzi the Co-Exec Producer and our Show-runner Miranda Spigener-Sapon sincerely thank you and ask that you please take the time to like, follow, subscribe, and share as your efforts make a difference to everyone here at Inspire Change with Gunter.<br /><br />If these stories resinate with you and you would like to engage more with Gunter and the Inspire Change team, please consider joining our Patreon community, where our members find bonus content and early access to video episodes!

Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, and decades of therapeutic experience, he examines how consciousness shapes men’s inner worlds — and why understanding it is essential for healing, emotional intelligence, and authentic connection.  Rather than treating consciousness as an abstract concept, Gunter breaks it down into practical components that listeners can explore in their own lives. He explains how internalized voices, social conditioning, and relational environments influence self-perception and vulnerability, and how greater awareness can lead to healthier emotional expression and deeper personal insight.  This conversation offers practical questions and reflective tools designed to help listeners better understand their mental states, emotional patterns, and self-model — opening pathways toward growth, resilience, and meaningful change.<br /><b></b><br /><b>Key Themes &amp; Discussion Points</b><br /><b>The Nature of Consciousness</b><br /><ul><li>Why consciousness remains one of psychology’s most complex and “stubborn” questions</li><li>Exploring whether we are mechanical beings or living organisms with rich inner worlds</li></ul><br /><b>The Three Components of Consciousness</b><br />Gunter outlines three interacting elements:<br /><ul><li><b>State</b> — the current mental and emotional condition</li><li><b>Content</b> — thoughts, feelings, and sensory experience</li><li><b>Self-model</b> — how we perceive and define ourselves</li></ul><br /><b>Internalized Voices &amp; Self-Perception</b><br /><ul><li>How introjected voices shape identity and self-awareness</li><li>The influence of early authority figures and cultural messaging</li><li>How internal narratives shape emotional regulation and behavior</li></ul><br /><b>Social Environment &amp; Emotional Expression</b><br /><ul><li>The role of mirror neurons and relational dynamics</li><li>How social environments influence vulnerability and connection</li><li>Why men often experience emotional restriction in relational spaces</li></ul><br /><b>Consciousness &amp; Masculinity</b><br /><ul><li>Cultural conditioning and its impact on men’s emotional access</li><li>How masculinity norms influence vulnerability and self-expression</li><li>The relationship between consciousness, emotional intelligence, and personal growth</li></ul><b>Practical Reflection Questions</b><br />Gunter offers guiding questions to deepen awareness:<br /><b>State</b><b></b>• What is my current mental and emotional state?• Am I calm, tense, distracted, or overwhelmed?<br /><b>Content</b><b></b>• What thoughts and emotions are present right now?• Are they grounded in reality or shaped by past experience?<br /><b>Self-Model</b><b></b>• How do I see myself in this moment?• Is this perception compassionate, critical, or inherited?<br />These questions help cultivate self-awareness and create space for intentional change.<br /><b></b><br /><b>Memorable Sound Bites</b><br />“Are we machines or living beings with inner worlds?”<br />“Consciousness is three things working together.”<br />“Internalized voices shape your self-model.”<br /><b></b><br /><b>🌱 Why This Conversation Matters</b><br />Understanding consciousness is not merely philosophical — it is practical.

While many systems assume people are selfish or brutal under pressure, Gunter suggests the deeper issue is not a lack of conscience, but restricted access to empathy, tenderness, and connection.<br />He explores how men are often shaped by an internal moral code that links worth to competence, control, and self-sufficiency — a code enforced through shame and status defense. In this emotional operating system, vulnerability can feel like loss of rank, and softness like existential risk. As a result, decency may be present but hidden behind armor.<br /><br />This episode examines how these internal rules play out in conflict, intimacy, fatherhood, grief, and therapy — and why psychotherapy remains one of the few spaces where masculinity can be experienced without shame and connection can replace performance.<br />Gunter also warns that moral ambition without vulnerability can become another form of defended performance. True change, he argues, begins with restoring access to vulnerability and relational accountability so that contribution becomes service rather than status.<br /><br />He offers three practical bridges for restoring access to decency:<br /><br />• Name the internal rule driving defensiveness<br />• Practice small acts of shame tolerance through honest vulnerability<br />• Make decency concrete through repair, accountability, and action under pressure<br /><br />If humans are decent, the real question becomes: why do so many men struggle to show it when it matters most?<br /><br />The answer is not that men are bad — but that many have been trained to protect rank and competence at the expense of connection.  This episode invites listeners to move decency from belief to behavior — breath by breath, repair by repair.<br /><br /><i><b>Gratitude</b></i><br /><i></i>Hello to all our listeners, we thank you for tuning in and promoting positive social change.  This makes you a part of Gunter’s efforts in transforming not only men's lives but lives in general and we are grateful you have joined us.   This week for our Global Listeners List, and we would like to share our gratitude with our listeners in Singapore.

Resentment is one of the most misunderstood and quietly destructive emotional experiences we carry. In this solo episode of Inspire Change with Gunter, Gunter explores resentment not as explosive anger, but as a slow, chronic emotional accumulation that can shape identity, distort perception, and quietly erode relationships and personal well-being.Through psychological insight, clinical observation, and deeply reflective guidance, Gunter breaks down how resentment forms, why it persists, and how it manifests mentally, emotionally, behaviorally, and even physically in the body. Most importantly, he offers a structured, compassionate roadmap for transforming resentment into clarity, agency, and emotional freedom.This episode invites listeners to examine where unresolved wounds may still be influencing their present lives — and how releasing resentment can become a powerful act of self-liberation.<br /><br /><i><b>Key Themes &amp; Discussion PointsUnderstanding Resentment Beyond Anger</b></i><br /><ul><li>Resentment as chronic, unresolved emotional buildup</li><li>How resentment often disguises itself as moral righteousness or principle</li><li>The connection between resentment and unexpressed truths, unmet needs, and unspoken boundaries</li></ul>The Three Structural Components of Resentment<br /><ol><li>Perceived Injury – When expectations, trust, or fairness feel violated</li><li>Inhibited Expression – When emotions cannot be safely or openly communicated</li><li>Moral Accounting – The internal ledger that tracks perceived imbalance in relationships</li></ol>How Resentment Shapes Our Inner World<br /><ul><li>The mind’s tendency to replay and reinforce grievance narratives</li><li>Polarization of perception that reduces people to their mistakes</li><li>The illusion of strength resentment can provide while quietly draining emotional resilience</li></ul>Behavioral and Relational Manifestations<br /><ul><li>Passive resistance, sarcasm, withdrawal, and communication breakdown</li><li>Over-functioning and people-pleasing patterns that create hidden emotional debt</li><li>Scorekeeping in relationships and how it erodes intimacy and connection</li></ul>The Physical and Somatic Impact of Resentment<br /><ul><li>Chronic tension and stress responses stored in the body</li><li>Emotional states that influence sleep, mood, and nervous system regulation</li><li>Using bodily awareness as an early indicator of unresolved resentment</li></ul>The Deeper Psychological and Existential Effects<br /><ul><li>How resentment can distort worldview and identity</li><li>The role resentment plays in avoiding vulnerability, grief, and personal accountability</li><li>Why resentment can paradoxically maintain dysfunctional relationships</li></ul><br /><i><b>Memorable Episode Insights</b></i><br />“Resentment is anger that has nowhere to go, combined with the story that it shouldn’t have happened."<br />“Resentment is often a protest against helplessness — the psyche saying this mattered.”<br />“Resentment is the guard dog at the gate of grief.”<br />“When you track love like a spreadsheet, intimacy goes bankrupt.”<br />“Letting go of resentment isn’t about excusing the past — it’s about releasing internal captivity.”<br /><br />Why This Conversation MattersResentment is one of the most common yet unspoken emotional burdens people carry.

He discusses how many men equate their competence with their identity, leading to a fear-driven existence. The conversation delves into the impact of this mindset on relationships, highlighting the need for emotional presence and connection rather than just problem-solving. Gunter offers practical advice for fostering intimacy and repairing relational ruptures, encouraging listeners to embrace vulnerability and prioritize emotional contact over mere competence. <br /><br /><i><b>Takeaways </b></i><br />Competence can become an identity, driven by fear. Many men feel they must prove their worth through competence. Resting can feel like exposure for those driven by performance. Love should not be a performance review. Competence without emotional contact leads to loneliness. Men often confuse fixing problems with showing love. The urge to fix can stem from a fear of helplessness. Repairing relationships requires acknowledging one's reflexes. Emotional presence is crucial in relationships. Competence should be a tool, not a shield. <br /><br /><i><b>Sound bites </b></i><br />"Competence is powered by fear." "Love is not a performance review." "Choose contact before competence."<br /><br /><i><b>Weekly Gratitude</b></i><br />Hello to all our listeners, we thank YOU for tuning in and promoting positive social change.  This makes you a part of Gunter’s efforts in transforming not only men's lives but lives in general and we are grateful you have joined us. <br />We want to take time to send our love to the brave, strong people of the twin cities in Minnesota as they are going through a time of several injustices and that we support you. It just goes to prove that even in dire circumstances the power and triumph of the human spirit is stronger than ever and thank you for continuing to be steadfast in inspiring positive social change.

He discusses how humiliation has become a form of entertainment and how it offers a false sense of superiority and belonging, especially among men who are conditioned to view vulnerability as weakness. The conversation delves into the corrosive effects of this behavior on relationships and society, advocating for a shift towards mature strength that embraces vulnerability and empathy. Gunter emphasizes the importance of repair and personal growth as alternatives to the cycle of humiliation. <br /><br /><i><b>Takeaways</b></i> <br />Cruelty grabs attention and is emotionally charged. Humiliation offers a quick hit of superiority. People use contempt to manage their insecurities. Humiliation is a shortcut to feeling powerful. Men often join humiliators to avoid vulnerability. Humiliation can degrade empathy and relationships. Mature strength can handle discomfort without cruelty. Repair is a key skill in healthy masculinity. Self-awareness is crucial in addressing humiliation reflexes. Real strength involves admitting error and facing shame. <br /><br /><b><i>Sound bites </i></b><br />"Why does cruelty sell?" "Cruelty can feel strong to people who feel weak." "This kind of bonding is thin, not real intimacy."<br /><br /><i><b>Gratitude</b></i><br />Hello and welcome, We thank YOU for tuning in and promoting positive social change.

He discusses how humiliation has become a form of entertainment and how it offers a false sense of superiority and belonging, especially among men who are conditioned to view vulnerability as weakness. The conversation delves into the corrosive effects of this behavior on relationships and society, advocating for a shift towards mature strength that embraces vulnerability and empathy. Gunter emphasizes the importance of repair and personal growth as alternatives to the cycle of humiliation. <br /><br /><i><b>Takeaways</b></i> <br />Cruelty grabs attention and is emotionally charged. Humiliation offers a quick hit of superiority. People use contempt to manage their insecurities. Humiliation is a shortcut to feeling powerful. Men often join humiliators to avoid vulnerability. Humiliation can degrade empathy and relationships. Mature strength can handle discomfort without cruelty. Repair is a key skill in healthy masculinity. Self-awareness is crucial in addressing humiliation reflexes. Real strength involves admitting error and facing shame. <br /><br /><b><i>Sound bites </i></b><br />"Why does cruelty sell?" "Cruelty can feel strong to people who feel weak." "This kind of bonding is thin, not real intimacy."<br /><br /><i><b>Gratitude</b></i><br />Hello and welcome, We thank YOU for tuning in and promoting positive social change.

Rather than framing it as a definition of masculinity, Gunter examines the manosphere as a symptom of deeper societal issues affecting men today, including loneliness, confusion, emotional disconnection, and the search for belonging.In this episode,<br /><br />Gunter breaks down what the manosphere offers, how it exploits unresolved pain and vulnerability, and why many young men are drawn into grievance-based narratives. He emphasizes the importance of moving beyond condemnation or ridicule and instead building credible counter-narratives rooted in empathy, dignity, and emotional literacy.Gunter shares practical strategies for engagement, including translating grievances into underlying needs, developing bodily awareness, setting healthy boundaries, and creating pathways that support emotional growth and genuine connection. By acknowledging men’s pain without reinforcing blame or division, this conversation offers tools for healthier dialogue, stronger relationships, and more constructive responses to online radicalization.This episode is a call to action for parents, partners, educators, and society at large to foster environments where men can safely express vulnerability, build emotional resilience, and connect with others in meaningful ways.<br /><br /><i><b>Takeaways</b> </i><br />The manosphere is a symptom of deeper societal issues. Many young men seek belonging and validation in the manosphere. Understanding men's pain is crucial for creating effective counter-narratives. Grievances often mask unmet emotional needs. Building dignity pathways is essential for emotional growth. <br /><b></b><br /><i><b>Themes</b></i><br /> Navigating the Manosphere: Understanding Men's Pain Beyond the Manosphere: A Path to Healthy Masculinity<br /><b></b><br /><i><b>Sound Bites</b> </i><br />"This podcast is actually going to be about the manosphere."

He discusses the importance of inner work (the micro) for personal growth and emotional development, contrasting it with the broader societal issues (the macro) that stem from a lack of emotional maturity.

He explores the anthropological evidence that suggests humans are not inherently competitive or hierarchical but are capable of living as equals. Swoboda emphasizes the importance of reframing masculinity from a perspective of dominance to one of equality, particularly in relationships and therapy. He encourages men to confront their fears of equality and to embrace a more authentic way of being that fosters genuine connections with others. Takeaways - Humans have a deep capacity for egalitarian relating. The narrative of masculinity often promotes competition and dominance. Therapy should be a collaborative space of equality. Men are often conditioned to see vulnerability as weakness. Reframing masculinity involves recognizing the capacity for equality. Equality is not just a concept but a lived experience. The journey to equality requires confronting internalized fears. Men can grow into deeper parts of their nature. Being a good man is about being fully human together. The work of men's development is about realigning with egalitarian values. Sound Bites - "What kind of animal are we actually?" "We're trained to compete." "Being a good man is not about being on top." <br /><br /><i><b>Mid-Episode Break is brought to you by Distil Union.</b></i><br />“You know, on this show we talk a lot about living with purpose — slowing down, paying attention, and being intentional about the choices we make every day.

He emphasizes that masculinity is a practice shaped by societal systems, rather than a fixed essence. The discussion highlights the dangers of toxic ideologies and the importance of emotional health and community. Gunter provides practical reflections on how individuals can embody healthier masculinity in their daily lives, focusing on the body, relationships, and the wider social context. He encourages listeners to engage in self-reflection and practice small, meaningful changes in their behavior.<br /><br /><br /><i><b>Takeaways</b></i><br />Masculinity is embodied and relational, not a fixed essence.<br />Toxic ideologies can anesthetize men's pain rather than heal it.<br />Masculinity is shaped by systems, not just individual actions.<br />Cultural narratives about masculinity influence our behaviors.<br />Practicing awareness of our bodies can reveal ingrained habits.<br />Emotional responsiveness is key in relationships.<br />Social media can amplify toxic narratives about masculinity.<br />Self-reflection helps in recognizing internalized patriarchal values.<br />Values should guide our actions, not societal expectations.<br />Change in masculinity comes from small, consistent actions.<br /><br /><i><b>Keywords</b></i><br />masculinity, toxic ideologies, emotional health, community, anthropology, personal growth, relationships, social media, patriarchy, self-awareness<br /><br /><br /><br /><i><b>Mid-Episode Break is brought to you by Distil Union.</b></i><br />“You know, on this show we talk a lot about living with purpose — slowing down, paying attention, and being intentional about the choices we make every day.

He emphasizes that masculinity is a practice shaped by societal systems, rather than a fixed essence. The discussion highlights the dangers of toxic ideologies and the importance of emotional health and community. Gunter provides practical reflections on how individuals can embody healthier masculinity in their daily lives, focusing on the body, relationships, and the wider social context. He encourages listeners to engage in self-reflection and practice small, meaningful changes in their behavior.<br /><br /><br /><i><b>Takeaways</b></i><br />Masculinity is embodied and relational, not a fixed essence.<br />Toxic ideologies can anesthetize men's pain rather than heal it.<br />Masculinity is shaped by systems, not just individual actions.<br />Cultural narratives about masculinity influence our behaviors.<br />Practicing awareness of our bodies can reveal ingrained habits.<br />Emotional responsiveness is key in relationships.<br />Social media can amplify toxic narratives about masculinity.<br />Self-reflection helps in recognizing internalized patriarchal values.<br />Values should guide our actions, not societal expectations.<br />Change in masculinity comes from small, consistent actions.<br /><br /><i><b>Keywords</b></i><br />masculinity, toxic ideologies, emotional health, community, anthropology, personal growth, relationships, social media, patriarchy, self-awareness<br /><br /><br /><br /><i><b>Mid-Episode Break is brought to you by Distil Union.</b></i><br />“You know, on this show we talk a lot about living with purpose — slowing down, paying attention, and being intentional about the choices we make every day. Because when we simplify the noise around us, we can better hear what really matters: empathy, connection, and showing up as the best version of ourselves. That’s why I’m genuinely pleased to welcome our newest sponsor, Distil Union. Their philosophy aligns beautifully with what we do here.”  “Distil Union creates sleek, thoughtfully designed essentials — wallets, key organizers, phone cases — all built with a ‘less is more’ approach.

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter argues that philosophy doesn’t just precede science historically—it precedes it always.

Gunter has given keynotes all over Australia, NYC and Los Angeles as well as being a TEDx Speaker. <br /><br />Author<br />We all have a story. Stories that touch us the most are about that moment when we make the choice to be real, to drop any pretense of pride, power and position. In that telling moment we step into a new space where our ability to overcome fear allows us to be truly authentic in our relationship to the world. In that moment we become fully human. Gunter has authored a novel Mountains of Sea published by Winterwolf Press and he self-published the non-fiction, Making Good Men Great: Surfing the New Wave of Masculinity. Both books are available at all major and independent retailers globally. The Making Good Men Great Movement also made Oprah’s #MustWatch list in 2018.<br /><br />Mentor<br />In both the personal and professional sphere, Gunter has successfully worn many hats. Added to his education, experience and eloquence it allows him to develop a relationship with someone that ignites their aspirations.<br /><br />Coach<br />In today’s world, the challenge to be ‘perfect’ is a constant source of stress. Gunter firmly believes that each person has to find their ‘own bliss’. His part in that journey is to engage with the person he is working with to unlock their aspirations, align them to their vision and to help keep them inspired.<br /><br /><i><b>Patreon</b></i><br />If this episode resonates with you and you’d like to go deeper into practical exercises and guided reflection, Gunter offers extended self-development resources and exercises through our Patreon community: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.patreon.com/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Sponsor</b></i><br />Distil UnionThis episode of Inspire Change with Gunter is brought to you by Distil Union, creators of beautifully designed, functional everyday carry accessories that help bring organization, simplicity, and intention into your daily life.Distil Union blends craftsmanship with thoughtful design to help you carry what matters most — without the clutter.👉 Explore their products and receive your exclusive listener discount by visiting: <a href="https://www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Reach Out</b></i><br />If you are interested in guest appearances, guest hosting opportunities, or suggesting topics, please contact Emilia Osborne, Showrunner’s Assistant: Emilia.Osborne@bonfirecinema.com<br /><br />To purchase Gunter's books, they are available at all retailers and online shops or check out: <a href="https://www.gunterswoboda.com/the-bookstore" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Bookstore</a> ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/67263173</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 Aug 2025 12:00:08 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/67263173/inspire_change_season_7_294_beyond_profit_aligning_economics_with_authentic_masculinity.mp3" length="21122681" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/c79b8ca4-a163-4c55-8489-287e1b32cbb1/c79b8ca4-a163-4c55-8489-287e1b32cbb1.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/c79b8ca4-a163-4c55-8489-287e1b32cbb1/c79b8ca4-a163-4c55-8489-287e1b32cbb1.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/c79b8ca4-a163-4c55-8489-287e1b32cbb1/c79b8ca4-a163-4c55-8489-287e1b32cbb1.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Bonfire Cinema</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>This week on Inspire Change, Gunter dives into a discussion on beyond profist and aligning economics with authentic masculinity.

His aim is to stimulate your mind, touch your heart, and inspire your soul. Gunter is a psychologist, speaker, author, mentor, coach and facilitator with over 30 years experience in counseling and organizational development. Gunter has given keynotes all over Australia, NYC and Los Angeles as well as being a TEDx Speaker. <br /><br />Author<br />We all have a story. Stories that touch us the most are about that moment when we make the choice to be real, to drop any pretense of pride, power and position. In that telling moment we step into a new space where our ability to overcome fear allows us to be truly authentic in our relationship to the world. In that moment we become fully human. Gunter has authored a novel Mountains of Sea published by Winterwolf Press and he self-published the non-fiction, Making Good Men Great: Surfing the New Wave of Masculinity. Both books are available at all major and independent retailers globally. The Making Good Men Great Movement also made Oprah’s #MustWatch list in 2018.<br /><br />Mentor<br />In both the personal and professional sphere, Gunter has successfully worn many hats. Added to his education, experience and eloquence it allows him to develop a relationship with someone that ignites their aspirations.<br /><br />Coach<br />In today’s world, the challenge to be ‘perfect’ is a constant source of stress. Gunter firmly believes that each person has to find their ‘own bliss’. His part in that journey is to engage with the person he is working with to unlock their aspirations, align them to their vision and to help keep them inspired.<br /><br /><i><b>Patreon</b></i><br />If this episode resonates with you and you’d like to go deeper into practical exercises and guided reflection, Gunter offers extended self-development resources and exercises through our Patreon community: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.patreon.com/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Sponsor</b></i><br />Distil UnionThis episode of Inspire Change with Gunter is brought to you by Distil Union, creators of beautifully designed, functional everyday carry accessories that help bring organization, simplicity, and intention into your daily life.Distil Union blends craftsmanship with thoughtful design to help you carry what matters most — without the clutter.👉 Explore their products and receive your exclusive listener discount by visiting: <a href="https://www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Reach Out</b></i><br />If you are interested in guest appearances, guest hosting opportunities, or suggesting topics, please contact Emilia Osborne, Showrunner’s Assistant: Emilia.Osborne@bonfirecinema.com<br /><br />To purchase Gunter's books, they are available at all retailers and online shops or check out: <a href="https://www.gunterswoboda.com/the-bookstore" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Bookstore</a> ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66991497</guid><pubDate>Wed, 16 Jul 2025 12:00:08 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/66991497/inspire_change_season_7_291_the_myth_of_normalwhat_gabor_mate_teaches_us_about_healing_in_a_sick_society.mp3" length="18613672" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/0b2e1586-7ac6-4c30-9823-da04049f3764/0b2e1586-7ac6-4c30-9823-da04049f3764.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/0b2e1586-7ac6-4c30-9823-da04049f3764/0b2e1586-7ac6-4c30-9823-da04049f3764.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/0b2e1586-7ac6-4c30-9823-da04049f3764/0b2e1586-7ac6-4c30-9823-da04049f3764.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Bonfire Cinema</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>This week on Inspire Change, Gunter dives into a meaningful conversation about what is normal?

His aim is to stimulate your mind, touch your heart, and inspire your soul. Gunter is a psychologist, speaker, author, mentor, coach and facilitator with over 30 years experience in counseling and organizational development. Gunter has given keynotes all over Australia, NYC and Los Angeles as well as being a TEDx Speaker. <br /><br />Author<br />We all have a story. Stories that touch us the most are about that moment when we make the choice to be real, to drop any pretense of pride, power and position. In that telling moment we step into a new space where our ability to overcome fear allows us to be truly authentic in our relationship to the world. In that moment we become fully human. Gunter has authored a novel Mountains of Sea published by Winterwolf Press and he self-published the non-fiction, Making Good Men Great: Surfing the New Wave of Masculinity. Both books are available at all major and independent retailers globally. The Making Good Men Great Movement also made Oprah’s #MustWatch list in 2018.<br /><br />Mentor<br />In both the personal and professional sphere, Gunter has successfully worn many hats. Added to his education, experience and eloquence it allows him to develop a relationship with someone that ignites their aspirations.<br /><br />Coach<br />In today’s world, the challenge to be ‘perfect’ is a constant source of stress. Gunter firmly believes that each person has to find their ‘own bliss’. His part in that journey is to engage with the person he is working with to unlock their aspirations, align them to their vision and to help keep them inspired.<br /><br />Facilitator<br />Gunter is exceptional in facilitating outcomes in learning, productivity, and communication by providing a safe environment with unobtrusive assistance and guidance wherein participants experience the flow between content and context. His skill in utilizing philosophical and psychological methods enhances the participants experience in the process.<br /><br />To purchase Gunter's books:<br /><br />Making Good Men Great: Surfing the New Wave of Masculinity you can get it on Amazon Prime, Barnes &amp; Noble and most online retailers: <br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Making-Good-Men-Great-Masculinity/dp/0999266802" rel="noopener">https://www.amazon.com/Making-Good-Men-Great-Masculinity/dp/0999266802</a> <br /><br /><a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Making-Goo" rel="noopener">https://www.walmart.com/ip/Making-Goo</a><br /><br /><i><b>Patreon</b></i><br />If this episode resonates with you and you’d like to go deeper into practical exercises and guided reflection, Gunter offers extended self-development resources and exercises through our Patreon community: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.patreon.com/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Sponsor</b></i><br />Distil UnionThis episode of Inspire Change with Gunter is brought to you by Distil Union, creators of beautifully designed, functional everyday carry accessories that help bring organization, simplicity, and intention into your daily life.Distil Union blends craftsmanship with thoughtful design to help you carry what matters most — without the clutter.👉 Explore their products and receive your exclusive listener discount by visiting: <a href="https://www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Reach Out</b></i><br />If you are interested in guest appearances, guest hosting opportunities, or suggesting topics, please contact Emilia Osborne, Showrunner’s Assistant: Emilia.Osborne@bonfirecinema.com<br /><br />To purchase Gunter's books, they are available at all retailers and online shops or check out: <a href="https://www.gunterswoboda.com/the-bookstore" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Bookstore</a> ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66731299</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2025 12:00:08 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/66731299/inspire_change_season_7_288_men_as_allies_advocating_for_gender_equity.mp3" length="17813698" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/5254119e-768a-4fde-a867-2257663c1def/5254119e-768a-4fde-a867-2257663c1def.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/5254119e-768a-4fde-a867-2257663c1def/5254119e-768a-4fde-a867-2257663c1def.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/5254119e-768a-4fde-a867-2257663c1def/5254119e-768a-4fde-a867-2257663c1def.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Bonfire Cinema</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle> This week on Inspire Change, Gunter is opening up a mindful conversation on men as allies and advocating for gender equity.

Yes, we are going to have a very thoughtful conversation on, you guessed it-- JOE ROGAN: Misinformatoin and the Masculine Echo Chamber.. While some feathers will be ruffled, but feel free to engage in a thoughtful discussion and challenge Gunter with your thoughts.  <br /><br />Now this conversation is not about about taking down the man, but its about breakdown on Joe's influence on men and culture. Rogan claims he is a just a guy who asks questions, but he is more than that. He is shaping a culture, he is a platform and he constantly features guests who promote: control, old school ideals on what it means to be a man, dominance, emotional attachment,  His guests like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson reinforce a world where feminism is a threat, and vulernability is a  weakness. Rogan rarely challenges these positions and he normalizes them. He creates a false since of balance and presents harmful ideologies as if they are normal.

Gunter has given keynotes all over Australia, NYC and Los Angeles as well as being a TEDx Speaker. <br /><br />Author<br />We all have a story. Stories that touch us the most are about that moment when we make the choice to be real, to drop any pretense of pride, power and position. In that telling moment we step into a new space where our ability to overcome fear allows us to be truly authentic in our relationship to the world. In that moment we become fully human. Gunter has authored a novel Mountains of Sea published by Winterwolf Press and he self-published the non-fiction, Making Good Men Great: Surfing the New Wave of Masculinity.

Yes, we are going to have a very thoughtful conversation on, you guessed it-- JOE ROGAN: Misinformatoin and the Masculine Echo Chamber.. While some feathers will be ruffled, but feel free to engage in a thoughtful discussion and challenge Gunter with your thoughts.  <br /><br />Now this conversation is not about about taking down the man, but its about breakdown on Joe's influence on men and culture. Rogan claims he is a just a guy who asks questions, but he is more than that. He is shaping a culture, he is a platform and he constantly features guests who promote: control, old school ideals on what it means to be a man, dominance, emotional attachment,  His guests like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson reinforce a world where feminism is a threat, and vulernability is a  weakness. Rogan rarely challenges these positions and he normalizes them. He creates a false since of balance and presents harmful ideologies as if they are normal. SO LETS DIVE RIGHT IN<br /><br />On a side note: Gunter Swoboda and Lorin Josephson's neo-noir/supernatural thriller novel Amulets of Power, Book I A Brian Poole Mystery is officially ON SALE EVERYWHERE you like to get book, but if you want a discount please consider ording direct.

Men take notice not just for yourself, but for your kids, particularly your sons.<br /><br />In this deep dive, we'll answer the question: What is emotional literacy?<br /><ul><li>Essentially it is the ability to identify what you are feeling.</li><li>Ability to make sense of it.</li><li>Be able to express it in a way that builds connection rather than creating conflict, especially toxic conflict.</li></ul><br />HERE IS THE KICKER:  Most men were never taught how to do that, but even given leeway to suppress those emotions and do the opposite. By doing this it isolates men from themselves and reactivity becomes the default.<br /><br />This week's gratitude shout-out is to our listeners in Zambia, Africa.  We thank you for listening, making our top 10 listeners this week and always keep inspiring positive social change.<br /><br />Make sure you LIKE SUBSCRIBE &amp; FOLLOW our new Official YouTube Channel of Video Shorts series: https://www.youtube.com/@InspireChangewithGunterSwoboda/videos where we will be adding new videos and content every week from Gunter and our guests.  https://www.youtube.com/@InspireChangewithGunterSwoboda/videos<br /><br />Gunter Swoboda and Lorin Josephson's new novel Amulets of Power, Book I - A Brian Poole Mystery trilogy.  CHECK OUT the critic's praise:<br /><br />Editorial Reviews<br />"Gunter Swoboda and Lorin Josephson's entrée novel weaves you in a deep and captivating story of thematic and impactful visuals of traditions and the obligations that come with it.  The reader will be hooked and ready for the next book in this trilogy." - The Associated Press<br /><br />"Captivating character development and unforeseen plot twists; the novel guarantees to enthrall readers with its seamless merger of historical depth and contemporary drama, ensuring a riveting and electrifying read." -Publishers Weekly<br /><br />"Gunter Swoboda and Lorin Josephson's debut novel Amulets of Power blends noir detective with the supernatural; set in London, England." - KTLA News<br /><br />Visually impactful1" - Australian Post Observer<br /><br />The book release is June, Friday 13, 2025 but you can PRE-ORDER now here:<br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/Amulets-Power-Book-Mystery-Mysteries/dp/0999266861/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3138WSYER8QW7&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.0xI2jpo4SQUQV36nWY8d4Q.e7_ogc11xe5fR6J7kl3m5EfTJeYBQty35YqdG-eoutY&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=Amulets+of+Power%2C+Book+I%3A+A+Brian+Poole+Mystery&amp;qid=1745973832&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=amulets+of+power%2C+book+i+a+brian+poole+mystery%2Cstripbooks%2C171&amp;sr=1-1 (Worldwide free shipping for Prime Members)<br />https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/amulets-of-power-book-i-gunter-swoboda/1147319115?ean=9780999266861<br />https://www.booktopia.com.au/amulets-of-power-book-i-gunter-swoboda/book/9780999266861.html (Australia)<br /><br />DON'T FORGET to join LEGENDS OF POWER SWOBODA-JOSEPHSON VIP Inner Circle.

Gunter has given keynotes all over Australia, NYC and Los Angeles as well as being a TEDx Speaker. <br /><br />Author<br />We all have a story. Stories that touch us the most are about that moment when we make the choice to be real, to drop any pretense of pride, power and position. In that telling moment we step into a new space where our ability to overcome fear allows us to be truly authentic in our relationship to the world. In that moment we become fully human. Gunter has authored a novel Mountains of Sea published by Winterwolf Press and he self-published the non-fiction, Making Good Men Great: Surfing the New Wave of Masculinity.

His part in that journey is to engage with the person he is working with to unlock their aspirations, align them to their vision and to help keep them inspired.<br /><br />Facilitator<br />Gunter is exceptional in facilitating outcomes in learning, productivity, and communication by providing a safe environment with unobtrusive assistance and guidance wherein participants experience the flow between content and context.

His aim is to stimulate your mind, touch your heart, and inspire your soul. Gunter is a psychologist, speaker, author, mentor, coach and facilitator with over 30 years experience in counseling and organizational development. Gunter has given keynotes all over Australia, NYC and Los Angeles as well as being a TEDx Speaker. <br /><br />Author<br />We all have a story. Stories that touch us the most are about that moment when we make the choice to be real, to drop any pretense of pride, power and position. In that telling moment we step into a new space where our ability to overcome fear allows us to be truly authentic in our relationship to the world. In that moment we become fully human. Gunter has authored a novel Mountains of Sea published by Winterwolf Press and he self-published the non-fiction, Making Good Men Great: Surfing the New Wave of Masculinity. Both books are available at all major and independent retailers globally. The Making Good Men Great Movement also made Oprah’s #MustWatch list in 2018.<br /><br />Mentor<br />In both the personal and professional sphere, Gunter has successfully worn many hats. Added to his education, experience and eloquence it allows him to develop a relationship with someone that ignites their aspirations.<br /><br />Coach<br />In today’s world, the challenge to be ‘perfect’ is a constant source of stress. Gunter firmly believes that each person has to find their ‘own bliss’. His part in that journey is to engage with the person he is working with to unlock their aspirations, align them to their vision and to help keep them inspired.<br /><br />Facilitator<br />Gunter is exceptional in facilitating outcomes in learning, productivity, and communication by providing a safe environment with unobtrusive assistance and guidance wherein participants experience the flow between content and context.

He will show us how to look at masculinity from a different perspective.  Gunter will tie it all back to the core principals of the Making Good Men Great movement and framework. Its about helping men to just getting by but truly being fulfilled. We start the episode with a quote:<br /><br /><i>"What prepares men for totalitarian domination in the non-totalitarian world is the fact that loneliness, once a borderline experience usually suffered in certain marginal social conditions like old age, has become an everyday experience …" – From The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951) by Hannah Arendt</i><br /><br />Ms. Arendt wrote that in 1951, it seems as if she had a looking glass into the future as we can how things are today.<br /><br />DON'T FORGET to join LEGENDS OF POWER SWOBODA-JOSEPHSON VIP Inner Circle.

He will show us how to look at masculinity from a different perspective.  Gunter will tie it all back to the core principals of the Making Good Men Great movement and framework. Its about helping men to just getting by but truly being fulfilled. We start the episode with a quote:<br /><br /><i>"What prepares men for totalitarian domination in the non-totalitarian world is the fact that loneliness, once a borderline experience usually suffered in certain marginal social conditions like old age, has become an everyday experience …" – From The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951) by Hannah Arendt</i><br /><br />Ms. Arendt wrote that in 1951, it seems as if she had a looking glass into the future as we can how things are today.<br /><br />DON'T FORGET to join LEGENDS OF POWER SWOBODA-JOSEPHSON VIP Inner Circle.

Our journey began with a shared passion for understanding human behaviour and fostering positive change. Through countless sessions of therapy, coaching, and consulting, we have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of learning to be more self-aware, and understanding how to be more flexible, adaptable, and resilient.<br />In today's society, traditional notions of masculinity are being challenged and redefined. This book emerges as a beacon of insight and guidance, offering a framework for understanding and cultivating a new kind of masculinity—one that is authentic, empathetic, and accountable. Our journey in writing "Making Good Men Great" has been driven by a profound belief that men have the potential to be compassionate, courageous, and connected.<br /><br />This book is not merely a theoretical exploration; it is a practical blueprint for personal growth and societal transformation. Through thought-provoking insights and actionable advice, we aim to empower men to transcend outdated stereotypes and embrace a more inclusive and holistic vision of manhood.<br /><br />We use the metaphor of surfing as central to our narrative. Just as surfers attune themselves to the rhythms of the ocean, men must learn to navigate the ever-changing currents of gender dynamics with grace and adaptability. Masculinity, like the ocean, is vast, dynamic, and ever-shifting. Our hope is to guide men in riding these waves with skill and integrity.<br /><br />"Making Good Men Great" addresses the core issues that impact both women and men: patriarchy and its pervasive influence. We explore how patriarchal values—territoriality, hierarchy, acquisition, competition, and combativeness—shape and often distort the male experience. By redefining these values, we can foster a masculinity that is more inclusive, compassionate, and supportive.<br />In this edition, we emphasise four core goals to enhance men's lives:<br /><br />- Understand the difference between unhealthy masculinity and being healthy<br />- Being the best man you can be in a relationship with yourself.<br />- Being a great man in your relationships with others.<br />- Being a great leader in the company of men.<br /><br />These goals are essential for men seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life. We delve into the psychological and social challenges men face today, from mental health struggles to evolving gender roles. By integrating knowledge from various disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, and history, we provide a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be a man in today's world.<br />"Making Good Men Great" is more than just a book; it's a call to action. It encourages men to embark on a journey of self-discovery and collective transformation, fostering a world where men are celebrated for their compassion, integrity, and dedication to positive change. As we stand at a cultural crossroads, "Making Good Men Great" offers a guiding light for men aspiring to contribute to a more equitable and compassionate society.<br /><br />As you listen to today's episode, we invite you to reflect on the legacy you want to leave behind. Think about how you can become not just a good man but a great one. Join us on this journey from good to great, and let's ride the waves of a new masculinity towards a future brimming with hope, unity, and profound transformation.<br /><br />Thank you for tuning in to "Inspire Change with Gunter."

By redefining these values, we can foster a masculinity that is more inclusive, compassionate, and supportive.<br />In this edition, we emphasise four core goals to enhance men's lives:<br /><br />- Understand the difference between unhealthy masculinity and being healthy<br />- Being the best man you can be in a relationship with yourself.<br />- Being a great man in your relationships with others.<br />- Being a great leader in the company of men.<br /><br />These goals are essential for men seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life. We delve into the psychological and social challenges men face today, from mental health struggles to evolving gender roles. By integrating knowledge from various disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, and history, we provide a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be a man in today's world.<br />"Making Good Men Great" is more than just a book; it's a call to action. It encourages men to embark on a journey of self-discovery and collective transformation, fostering a world where men are celebrated for their compassion, integrity, and dedication to positive change. As we stand at a cultural crossroads, "Making Good Men Great" offers a guiding light for men aspiring to contribute to a more equitable and compassionate society.<br /><br />As you listen to today's episode, we invite you to reflect on the legacy you want to leave behind. Think about how you can become not just a good man but a great one. Join us on this journey from good to great, and let's ride the waves of a new masculinity towards a future brimming with hope, unity, and profound transformation.<br /><br />Thank you for tuning in to "Inspire Change with Gunter."

Our journey began with a shared passion for understanding human behaviour and fostering positive change. Through countless sessions of therapy, coaching, and consulting, we have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of learning to be more self-aware, and understanding how to be more flexible, adaptable, and resilient.<br />In today's society, traditional notions of masculinity are being challenged and redefined. This book emerges as a beacon of insight and guidance, offering a framework for understanding and cultivating a new kind of masculinity—one that is authentic, empathetic, and accountable. Our journey in writing "Making Good Men Great" has been driven by a profound belief that men have the potential to be compassionate, courageous, and connected.<br /><br />This book is not merely a theoretical exploration; it is a practical blueprint for personal growth and societal transformation. Through thought-provoking insights and actionable advice, we aim to empower men to transcend outdated stereotypes and embrace a more inclusive and holistic vision of manhood.<br /><br />We use the metaphor of surfing as central to our narrative. Just as surfers attune themselves to the rhythms of the ocean, men must learn to navigate the ever-changing currents of gender dynamics with grace and adaptability. Masculinity, like the ocean, is vast, dynamic, and ever-shifting. Our hope is to guide men in riding these waves with skill and integrity.<br /><br />"Making Good Men Great" addresses the core issues that impact both women and men: patriarchy and its pervasive influence. We explore how patriarchal values—territoriality, hierarchy, acquisition, competition, and combativeness—shape and often distort the male experience. By redefining these values, we can foster a masculinity that is more inclusive, compassionate, and supportive.<br />In this edition, we emphasise four core goals to enhance men's lives:<br /><ol><li>Understand the difference between unhealthy masculinity and being healthy</li><li>Being the best man you can be in a relationship with yourself.</li><li>Being a great man in your relationships with others.</li><li>Being a great leader in the company of men.</li></ol><br />These goals are essential for men seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life. We delve into the psychological and social challenges men face today, from mental health struggles to evolving gender roles. By integrating knowledge from various disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, and history, we provide a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be a man in today's world.<br />"Making Good Men Great" is more than just a book; it's a call to action. It encourages men to embark on a journey of self-discovery and collective transformation, fostering a world where men are celebrated for their compassion, integrity, and dedication to positive change. As we stand at a cultural crossroads, "Making Good Men Great" offers a guiding light for men aspiring to contribute to a more equitable and compassionate society.<br /><br />As you listen to today's episode, we invite you to reflect on the legacy you want to leave behind. Think about how you can become not just a good man but a great one. Join us on this journey from good to great, and let's ride the waves of a new masculinity towards a future brimming with hope, unity, and profound transformation.<br /><br />Thank you for tuning in to "Inspire Change with Gunter."

Just as surfers attune themselves to the rhythms of the ocean, men must learn to navigate the ever-changing currents of gender dynamics with grace and adaptability. Masculinity, like the ocean, is vast, dynamic, and ever-shifting. Our hope is to guide men in riding these waves with skill and integrity.<br /><br />"Making Good Men Great" addresses the core issues that impact both women and men: patriarchy and its pervasive influence. We explore how patriarchal values—territoriality, hierarchy, acquisition, competition, and combativeness—shape and often distort the male experience. By redefining these values, we can foster a masculinity that is more inclusive, compassionate, and supportive.<br />In this edition, we emphasise four core goals to enhance men's lives:<br /><ol><li>Understand the difference between unhealthy masculinity and being healthy</li><li>Being the best man you can be in a relationship with yourself.</li><li>Being a great man in your relationships with others.</li><li>Being a great leader in the company of men.</li></ol><br />These goals are essential for men seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life. We delve into the psychological and social challenges men face today, from mental health struggles to evolving gender roles. By integrating knowledge from various disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, and history, we provide a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be a man in today's world.<br />"Making Good Men Great" is more than just a book; it's a call to action. It encourages men to embark on a journey of self-discovery and collective transformation, fostering a world where men are celebrated for their compassion, integrity, and dedication to positive change. As we stand at a cultural crossroads, "Making Good Men Great" offers a guiding light for men aspiring to contribute to a more equitable and compassionate society.<br /><br />As you listen to today's episode, we invite you to reflect on the legacy you want to leave behind. Think about how you can become not just a good man but a great one. Join us on this journey from good to great, and let's ride the waves of a new masculinity towards a future brimming with hope, unity, and profound transformation.<br /><br />Thank you for tuning in to "Inspire Change with Gunter."

Through thought-provoking insights and actionable advice, we aim to empower men to transcend outdated stereotypes and embrace a more inclusive and holistic vision of manhood.<br /><br />We use the metaphor of surfing as central to our narrative. Just as surfers attune themselves to the rhythms of the ocean, men must learn to navigate the ever-changing currents of gender dynamics with grace and adaptability. Masculinity, like the ocean, is vast, dynamic, and ever-shifting. Our hope is to guide men in riding these waves with skill and integrity.<br /><br />"Making Good Men Great" addresses the core issues that impact both women and men: patriarchy and its pervasive influence. We explore how patriarchal values—territoriality, hierarchy, acquisition, competition, and combativeness—shape and often distort the male experience. By redefining these values, we can foster a masculinity that is more inclusive, compassionate, and supportive.<br />In this edition, we emphasise four core goals to enhance men's lives:<br /><ol><li>Understand the difference between unhealthy masculinity and being healthy</li><li>Being the best man you can be in a relationship with yourself.</li><li>Being a great man in your relationships with others.</li><li>Being a great leader in the company of men.</li></ol><br />These goals are essential for men seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life. We delve into the psychological and social challenges men face today, from mental health struggles to evolving gender roles. By integrating knowledge from various disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, and history, we provide a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be a man in today's world.<br />"Making Good Men Great" is more than just a book; it's a call to action. It encourages men to embark on a journey of self-discovery and collective transformation, fostering a world where men are celebrated for their compassion, integrity, and dedication to positive change. As we stand at a cultural crossroads, "Making Good Men Great" offers a guiding light for men aspiring to contribute to a more equitable and compassionate society.<br /><br />As you listen to today's episode, we invite you to reflect on the legacy you want to leave behind. Think about how you can become not just a good man but a great one. Join us on this journey from good to great, and let's ride the waves of a new masculinity towards a future brimming with hope, unity, and profound transformation.<br /><br />Thank you for tuning in to "Inspire Change with Gunter."

Our journey began with a shared passion for understanding human behaviour and fostering positive change. Through countless sessions of therapy, coaching, and consulting, we have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of learning to be more self-aware, and understanding how to be more flexible, adaptable, and resilient.<br />In today's society, traditional notions of masculinity are being challenged and redefined. This book emerges as a beacon of insight and guidance, offering a framework for understanding and cultivating a new kind of masculinity—one that is authentic, empathetic, and accountable. Our journey in writing "Making Good Men Great" has been driven by a profound belief that men have the potential to be compassionate, courageous, and connected.<br /><br />This book is not merely a theoretical exploration; it is a practical blueprint for personal growth and societal transformation. Through thought-provoking insights and actionable advice, we aim to empower men to transcend outdated stereotypes and embrace a more inclusive and holistic vision of manhood.<br /><br />We use the metaphor of surfing as central to our narrative. Just as surfers attune themselves to the rhythms of the ocean, men must learn to navigate the ever-changing currents of gender dynamics with grace and adaptability. Masculinity, like the ocean, is vast, dynamic, and ever-shifting. Our hope is to guide men in riding these waves with skill and integrity.<br /><br />"Making Good Men Great" addresses the core issues that impact both women and men: patriarchy and its pervasive influence. We explore how patriarchal values—territoriality, hierarchy, acquisition, competition, and combativeness—shape and often distort the male experience. By redefining these values, we can foster a masculinity that is more inclusive, compassionate, and supportive.<br />In this edition, we emphasise four core goals to enhance men's lives:<br /><ol><li>Understand the difference between unhealthy masculinity and being healthy</li><li>Being the best man you can be in a relationship with yourself.</li><li>Being a great man in your relationships with others.</li><li>Being a great leader in the company of men.</li></ol><br />These goals are essential for men seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life. We delve into the psychological and social challenges men face today, from mental health struggles to evolving gender roles. By integrating knowledge from various disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, and history, we provide a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be a man in today's world.<br />"Making Good Men Great" is more than just a book; it's a call to action. It encourages men to embark on a journey of self-discovery and collective transformation, fostering a world where men are celebrated for their compassion, integrity, and dedication to positive change. As we stand at a cultural crossroads, "Making Good Men Great" offers a guiding light for men aspiring to contribute to a more equitable and compassionate society.<br /><br />As you listen to today's episode, we invite you to reflect on the legacy you want to leave behind. Think about how you can become not just a good man but a great one. Join us on this journey from good to great, and let's ride the waves of a new masculinity towards a future brimming with hope, unity, and profound transformation.<br /><br />Thank you for tuning in to "Inspire Change with Gunter."

Through thought-provoking insights and actionable advice, we aim to empower men to transcend outdated stereotypes and embrace a more inclusive and holistic vision of manhood.<br /><br />We use the metaphor of surfing as central to our narrative. Just as surfers attune themselves to the rhythms of the ocean, men must learn to navigate the ever-changing currents of gender dynamics with grace and adaptability. Masculinity, like the ocean, is vast, dynamic, and ever-shifting. Our hope is to guide men in riding these waves with skill and integrity.<br /><br />"Making Good Men Great" addresses the core issues that impact both women and men: patriarchy and its pervasive influence. We explore how patriarchal values—territoriality, hierarchy, acquisition, competition, and combativeness—shape and often distort the male experience. By redefining these values, we can foster a masculinity that is more inclusive, compassionate, and supportive.<br />In this edition, we emphasise four core goals to enhance men's lives:<br /><ol><li>Understand the difference between unhealthy masculinity and being healthy</li><li>Being the best man you can be in a relationship with yourself.</li><li>Being a great man in your relationships with others.</li><li>Being a great leader in the company of men.</li></ol><br />These goals are essential for men seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life. We delve into the psychological and social challenges men face today, from mental health struggles to evolving gender roles. By integrating knowledge from various disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, and history, we provide a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be a man in today's world.<br />"Making Good Men Great" is more than just a book; it's a call to action. It encourages men to embark on a journey of self-discovery and collective transformation, fostering a world where men are celebrated for their compassion, integrity, and dedication to positive change. As we stand at a cultural crossroads, "Making Good Men Great" offers a guiding light for men aspiring to contribute to a more equitable and compassionate society.<br /><br />As you listen to today's episode, we invite you to reflect on the legacy you want to leave behind. Think about how you can become not just a good man but a great one. Join us on this journey from good to great, and let's ride the waves of a new masculinity towards a future brimming with hope, unity, and profound transformation.<br /><br />Thank you for tuning in to "Inspire Change with Gunter."

Through thought-provoking insights and actionable advice, we aim to empower men to transcend outdated stereotypes and embrace a more inclusive and holistic vision of manhood.<br /><br />We use the metaphor of surfing as central to our narrative. Just as surfers attune themselves to the rhythms of the ocean, men must learn to navigate the ever-changing currents of gender dynamics with grace and adaptability. Masculinity, like the ocean, is vast, dynamic, and ever-shifting. Our hope is to guide men in riding these waves with skill and integrity.<br /><br />"Making Good Men Great" addresses the core issues that impact both women and men: patriarchy and its pervasive influence. We explore how patriarchal values—territoriality, hierarchy, acquisition, competition, and combativeness—shape and often distort the male experience. By redefining these values, we can foster a masculinity that is more inclusive, compassionate, and supportive.<br />In this edition, we emphasise four core goals to enhance men's lives:<br /><ol><li>Understand the difference between unhealthy masculinity and being healthy</li><li>Being the best man you can be in a relationship with yourself.</li><li>Being a great man in your relationships with others.</li><li>Being a great leader in the company of men.</li></ol><br />These goals are essential for men seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life. We delve into the psychological and social challenges men face today, from mental health struggles to evolving gender roles. By integrating knowledge from various disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, and history, we provide a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be a man in today's world.<br />"Making Good Men Great" is more than just a book; it's a call to action. It encourages men to embark on a journey of self-discovery and collective transformation, fostering a world where men are celebrated for their compassion, integrity, and dedication to positive change. As we stand at a cultural crossroads, "Making Good Men Great" offers a guiding light for men aspiring to contribute to a more equitable and compassionate society.<br /><br />As you listen to today's episode, we invite you to reflect on the legacy you want to leave behind. Think about how you can become not just a good man but a great one. Join us on this journey from good to great, and let's ride the waves of a new masculinity towards a future brimming with hope, unity, and profound transformation.<br /><br />Thank you for tuning in to "Inspire Change with Gunter."

This edition is not just an update; it is a heartfelt call to action and a comprehensive guide for men striving to redefine their masculinity in a world that is constantly evolving.<br /><br />For over four decades, we have dedicated our lives to helping people navigate the complexities of their emotional, psychological, and social worlds. Our journey began with a shared passion for understanding human behaviour and fostering positive change. Through countless sessions of therapy, coaching, and consulting, we have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of learning to be more self-aware, and understanding how to be more flexible, adaptable, and resilient.<br />In today's society, traditional notions of masculinity are being challenged and redefined. This book emerges as a beacon of insight and guidance, offering a framework for understanding and cultivating a new kind of masculinity—one that is authentic, empathetic, and accountable. Our journey in writing "Making Good Men Great" has been driven by a profound belief that men have the potential to be compassionate, courageous, and connected.<br /><br />This book is not merely a theoretical exploration; it is a practical blueprint for personal growth and societal transformation. Through thought-provoking insights and actionable advice, we aim to empower men to transcend outdated stereotypes and embrace a more inclusive and holistic vision of manhood.<br /><br />We use the metaphor of surfing as central to our narrative. Just as surfers attune themselves to the rhythms of the ocean, men must learn to navigate the ever-changing currents of gender dynamics with grace and adaptability. Masculinity, like the ocean, is vast, dynamic, and ever-shifting. Our hope is to guide men in riding these waves with skill and integrity.<br /><br />"Making Good Men Great" addresses the core issues that impact both women and men: patriarchy and its pervasive influence. We explore how patriarchal values—territoriality, hierarchy, acquisition, competition, and combativeness—shape and often distort the male experience. By redefining these values, we can foster a masculinity that is more inclusive, compassionate, and supportive.<br />In this edition, we emphasise four core goals to enhance men's lives:<br /><ol><li>Understand the difference between unhealthy masculinity and being healthy</li><li>Being the best man you can be in a relationship with yourself.</li><li>Being a great man in your relationships with others.</li><li>Being a great leader in the company of men.</li></ol><br />These goals are essential for men seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life. We delve into the psychological and social challenges men face today, from mental health struggles to evolving gender roles. By integrating knowledge from various disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, and history, we provide a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be a man in today's world.<br />"Making Good Men Great" is more than just a book; it's a call to action. It encourages men to embark on a journey of self-discovery and collective transformation, fostering a world where men are celebrated for their compassion, integrity, and dedication to positive change. As we stand at a cultural crossroads, "Making Good Men Great" offers a guiding light for men aspiring to contribute to a more equitable and compassionate society.<br /><br />As you listen to today's episode, we invite you to reflect on the legacy you want to leave behind. Think about how you can become not just a good man but a great one. Join us on this journey from good to great, and let's ride the waves of a new masculinity towards a future brimming with hope, unity, and profound transformation.<br /><br />Thank you for tuning in to "Inspire Change with Gunter." Stay inspired, stay engaged, and let's continue to inspire change together.<br /><br /><br /><b>Do you want to Inspire Change?

Gunter is going to dive a little deeper into the power literature in storytelling and how it affects us as a society and the world around us: "The Power of Storytelling Navigating Change with Mountains of the Sea," Mountains of the Sea is Gunters  historical novel., It is getting a new look and publishing deal soon through Bonfire Cinema. It has been praised by The New York Times  as - "Visually enticing, with a very masculine, but fractured lead character trying to find his way.…keeps you engaged all the way to the last page.”</b><br /><br />About Mountains of the Sea - After accidentally shooting an army recruiter, Walter Beaumont is forced to flee England and finds himself on the HMS Resolution, Captain James Cook's ship of exploration to the South Seas. On board he befriends Omai, a Tahitian navigator who takes Walter under his wing. A fish out of water, Walter Beaumont struggles with the Spartan conditions of seafaring, eventually falling ill with consumption. James Cook, knowing that Walter would never survive the rigors of the Northern Pacific and the Bearing Straights, is forced to leave the young man and Omai behind in the newly discovered Hawaiian Islands. Recovering his health, his hopes of returning to England are shattered by the news that Captain Cook has been killed and the Resolution has returned to England without him. Determined to make the most of his fate and intrigued by the Hawaiian culture and their close relationship with the ocean, Walter tries to adapt as best as he can. In a rite of passage that sees him transverse the globe and face the uncertainties of being a stranger in a strange land, Walter Beaumont well and truly rises to the challenge. It is quite literally a watershed of epic proportions, where faces the many moods of an ocean culture that is the center of the Hawaiian world. Together with his Tahitian friend, Omai, his teacher Kanoa, and his newly found love, Lani, he comes face to face with political intrigue, war, and the most enigmatic experience for an English aristocrat, that of riding the giant swells of Hawai'i.<br /><br /><b></b><br /><b>Do you want to Inspire Change?

Gunter is going to dive a little deeper into the power literature in storytelling and how it affects us as a society and the world around us: "The Power of Storytelling Navigating Change with Mountains of the Sea," Mountains of the Sea is Gunters  historical novel., It is getting a new look and publishing deal soon through Bonfire Cinema. It has been praised by The New York Times  as - "Visually enticing, with a very masculine, but fractured lead character trying to find his way.…keeps you engaged all the way to the last page.”</b><br /><br />About Mountains of the Sea - After accidentally shooting an army recruiter, Walter Beaumont is forced to flee England and finds himself on the HMS Resolution, Captain James Cook's ship of exploration to the South Seas. On board he befriends Omai, a Tahitian navigator who takes Walter under his wing. A fish out of water, Walter Beaumont struggles with the Spartan conditions of seafaring, eventually falling ill with consumption. James Cook, knowing that Walter would never survive the rigors of the Northern Pacific and the Bearing Straights, is forced to leave the young man and Omai behind in the newly discovered Hawaiian Islands. Recovering his health, his hopes of returning to England are shattered by the news that Captain Cook has been killed and the Resolution has returned to England without him. Determined to make the most of his fate and intrigued by the Hawaiian culture and their close relationship with the ocean, Walter tries to adapt as best as he can. In a rite of passage that sees him transverse the globe and face the uncertainties of being a stranger in a strange land, Walter Beaumont well and truly rises to the challenge. It is quite literally a watershed of epic proportions, where faces the many moods of an ocean culture that is the center of the Hawaiian world. Together with his Tahitian friend, Omai, his teacher Kanoa, and his newly found love, Lani, he comes face to face with political intrigue, war, and the most enigmatic experience for an English aristocrat, that of riding the giant swells of Hawai'i.<br /><br /><b></b><br /><b>Do you want to Inspire Change?

Boy do we have some exciting things coming up this season!!</b><br /><b></b><br /><b>First we want to open with a very special return guest and friend to the Inspire Change with Gunter podcast to the stage: <a href="https://www.DrMarkWilliams.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dr. Mark Williams!</a></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>He is an internationally recognised professor of cognitive neuroscience, with over 25 years experience conducting behavioural and brain imaging research focusing on our social skills. He has taught the fundamentals of neuroscience to a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as publishing more than 70 scientific articles. Mark has been awarded numerous high profile fellowships and grants, and worked both at MIT in the USA and at universities in Australia. <br /><br />He recently took voluntary redundancy to focus on making the many recent discoveries in cognitive neuroscience more accessible to the general public. His academic background allows him to communicate with authority on science and his passion for education makes him accessible to a wide audience.<br /><br />Not a typical ‘academic’, Mark comes from a disjointed family background. He hated school and experienced first-hand the challenges of getting ahead in a small town in Victoria. To describe these years as ‘colourful’ is an understatement. <br />Aged 25, something changed. Mark returned to learning, completed his HSC and began what became a rapid rise to academic achievement, including being awarded both the CJ Martin and the Queen Elisabeth II Fellowships.

Boy do we have some exciting things coming up this season!!</b><br /><b></b><br /><b>First we want to open with a very special return guest and friend to the Inspire Change with Gunter podcast to the stage: <a href="https://www.DrMarkWilliams.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dr. Mark Williams!</a></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>He is an internationally recognised professor of cognitive neuroscience, with over 25 years experience conducting behavioural and brain imaging research focusing on our social skills. He has taught the fundamentals of neuroscience to a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as publishing more than 70 scientific articles. Mark has been awarded numerous high profile fellowships and grants, and worked both at MIT in the USA and at universities in Australia. <br /><br />He recently took voluntary redundancy to focus on making the many recent discoveries in cognitive neuroscience more accessible to the general public. His academic background allows him to communicate with authority on science and his passion for education makes him accessible to a wide audience.<br /><br />Not a typical ‘academic’, Mark comes from a disjointed family background. He hated school and experienced first-hand the challenges of getting ahead in a small town in Victoria. To describe these years as ‘colourful’ is an understatement. <br />Aged 25, something changed. Mark returned to learning, completed his HSC and began what became a rapid rise to academic achievement, including being awarded both the CJ Martin and the Queen Elisabeth II Fellowships. He became fascinated with how we interact, learn and think. Mark went on to study brain plasticity, attention disorders, autism, prosopagnosia (face blindness), dementia and eating disorders. He has been at the cutting edge of developing computational brain imaging analysis and the adoption of new technologies like virtual reality in research.<br /><br />He now runs programs for schools and businesses on the neuroscience of learning, the neuroscience of emotions and the impact of modern technologies (like smartphones) on our brains.

I'd like to welcome back  Dr. Mark Williams to the podcast, along with the next generation of young men: Grayson Arndt, Rish Thakkar and Nate Munoz<br /><br />In the last two episodes we started our series on the enignma of Canadian Psychologist Jordan Peterson. We received a higher than normal surge of listeners and comments wanting more. So, we put together this episode to continue the conversation in a longer show with some very special  guests in studio joining Gunter to discuss: Jordan Peterson:, Masculinity and the Stories we Tell Ourselves.  I am Miranda Spigener-Sapon, Exec Producer of Inspire Change and Moderator for this episode. For those of us joining the show as listeners for the first time, when we have guests, it is not Host to guests Q&A and style, but  a casual,  thought-provoking discussion that encourages and empowers critical thinking and inspires our guests to speak freely, openly an a great conversation without judgement and allowing  for an intelligent and moving conversation on topics  involving not just  current events, relationships, gender, but  also what is affecting men and masculinity today. Our guests range from other psychologist, authors, thought-leaders, speakers , filmmakers and everyday people. Let’s  welcome  this panel: <br /><br />First we have Dr. Mark Williams joining us for a 2nd time as a guests on Inspire Change and we are happy to have you join us again on this conversation.  Dr Mark Williams is an Internationally recognised Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience who has worked at top Universities in Australia and overseas including MIT in the USA. He has been published in top tier international academic journals and been widely featured in the media including the ABC, SkyNews, SBS, The Guardian, New York Times, The Economist and the New Scientist. Mark has studied how we learn and develop using cutting edge computational brain imaging analysis and the adoption of new technologies like virtual reality and transcranial magnetic stimulation. He designed and convened a very successful 1st Year Neuroscience course at University with more than 800 students and works with schools internationally on improving teaching methods, learning outcomes, and student wellbeing.<br /><br />Our next  guests are 3 young men I have recently had the honor to work with in the entertainment industry here in lLos Angeles:   Grayson Arndt, my Executive Assistant here at Noirtainment  as well as an aspiring writer and filmmaker and recently many of you have heard his voice as the new announcer for this 4th Season of Inspire Change.  Grayson is a recent graduate from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor’s in Philosophy and I’ll quote his words: “Stories are amazing things. Whether they're told by an Oscar Winning Writer on the Screen or a Father at the end of a Bed, stories tell us who we are, where we came from, and where we're going. They inform our values, draw on our emotions, and cultivate the foundations for thriving communities big or small. “<br /><br />Next up is Rish Thakkar, a documentary filmmaker:   Rishabh has led Documentary projects in India, France and the USA. A graduate of Chapman University with MFA in Documentary Filmmaking. He believes audiences all around the world connect through one thing -Emotions. Driven by his passion for inducing emotions in the audience through the audio-visual medium and guided by quality direction, he tends to put his best foot forward in every project. Irrespective of however, a small role he may play in it.<br /><br />And last is Nate Munoz, who also happens to be our Sound/Audio Engineer in studio as well as part of our sound design and editing team of my animated series in production, Haisley.   Nate has had his boots on the ground in the music industry ever since he captured his interest at 11 years old. Music has been a part of Nate's life for generations.   He currently runs his original music at  live shows  all over Los Angeles. Nate also works in  PR and Music Management.<br /><br />So, now without further ado, let’s get this conversation started and I will hand it off to our host of Inspire Change, Gunter Swoboda.<br /><br /><br />To learn more about  how you can become a Patron of Change in the Making Good Men Great Global movement and its for MEN and WOMEN, please  watch the video from Gunter, then pick a membership level, visit our new page on Patreon at: <a href="http://www.patreon.com/inspirechange" rel="noopener">www.patreon.com/inspirechange</a><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/inspire-change-with-gunter--3633478/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/inspire-change-with-gunter--3633478/support</a>.<br /><br /><i><b>Patreon</b></i><br />If this episode resonates with you and you’d like to go deeper into practical exercises and guided reflection, Gunter offers extended self-development resources and exercises through our Patreon community: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.patreon.com/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Sponsor</b></i><br />Distil UnionThis episode of Inspire Change with Gunter is brought to you by Distil Union, creators of beautifully designed, functional everyday carry accessories that help bring organization, simplicity, and intention into your daily life.Distil Union blends craftsmanship with thoughtful design to help you carry what matters most — without the clutter.👉 Explore their products and receive your exclusive listener discount by visiting: <a href="https://www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Reach Out</b></i><br />If you are interested in guest appearances, guest hosting opportunities, or suggesting topics, please contact Emilia Osborne, Showrunner’s Assistant: Emilia.Osborne@bonfirecinema.com<br /><br />To purchase Gunter's books, they are available at all retailers and online shops or check out: <a href="https://www.gunterswoboda.com/the-bookstore" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Bookstore</a> ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/50029636</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jun 2022 12:00:03 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/50029636/inspire_change_4_139_jordan_peterson_masculinity_the_stories_we_tell_ourselves.mp3" length="78921838" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bonfire Cinema</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Welcome everyone we are back with our first Special Guests episode of the season to join Gunter and I in studio.

Change, Gunter discusses the importance of storytelling in mental health and society and he highlights from his upcoming first novel Mountains of the Sea from Winterwolf Press that is currently on sale for pre-order and will be released globally in stores and online retailers on June 1, 2021.<br /><br />Mountains of the Sea is the first novel from Australian psychologist, speaker, mentor and podcast host, Gunter Swoboda. In the age of “Me Too” and “Times-Up, Swoboda weaves a story about a young man, Walter Beaumont, raised in privilege, but breaking out of the comfort zone and becoming something greater than himself.<br /><br />Here is what the critics are saying about GunterSwoboda’s Mountains of the Sea:<br />"Visually enticing, with a very masculine, but fractured lead character trying to find his way that many young men can relate too...the story arc's strong thematic and through-line keeps you engaged all the way to the last page." - New York Times<br /><br />"His aim is to stimulate your mind, touch your heart, and inspire your soul." - Authority Magazine<br /><br />"Stunning fictional account of a young man's journey that includes a historical and cultural<br />lesson." - Reader, ICM Partners<br /><br />"The author has crafted a story that allows readers to understand the early conflicts between Europeans and Pacific Islanders from both perspectives, and for this alone it is worth following Walter in his life-changing adventure." - Cheryl Ann Toliver, author of Wilderness Refuge: A Prophet's Kingdom<br /><br />"I never wanted to put this story down...a great south sea tale with vibrant<br />characters and well described locations." - Charles G. London, Amazon Critic<br /><br />"Mountains of the Sea is a heart-pounding journey...I got so involved in the struggles of Walter Beaumont's attempts to become accepted into the culture that I found myself feeling I was also in the story with him." - Angelo Thomas Crapanzano, author of A Different Time, A Different Earth<br /><br />"Never before have I experienced a historical novel<br />this exciting...Gunter has blended wonderfully his<br />enthusiasm of adventure into a beautifully crafted story." - GoodReads.com﻿<br /><br />Mountains of the Sea can be preordered up til June 1st at any story or online retailer: In the US at Target, Barnes and Noble Books A Million Walmart Amazon; in Australia at Dymocks and Booktopia. After June 1st it will be everywhere globally in paperback and eBook.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/inspire-change-with-gunter--3633478/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/inspire-change-with-gunter--3633478/support</a>.<br /><br /><i><b>Patreon</b></i><br />If this episode resonates with you and you’d like to go deeper into practical exercises and guided reflection, Gunter offers extended self-development resources and exercises through our Patreon community: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.patreon.com/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Sponsor</b></i><br />Distil UnionThis episode of Inspire Change with Gunter is brought to you by Distil Union, creators of beautifully designed, functional everyday carry accessories that help bring organization, simplicity, and intention into your daily life.Distil Union blends craftsmanship with thoughtful design to help you carry what matters most — without the clutter.👉 Explore their products and receive your exclusive listener discount by visiting: <a href="https://www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Reach Out</b></i><br />If you are interested in guest appearances, guest hosting opportunities, or suggesting topics, please contact Emilia Osborne, Showrunner’s Assistant: Emilia.Osborne@bonfirecinema.com<br /><br />To purchase Gunter's books, they are available at all retailers and online shops or check out: <a href="https://www.gunterswoboda.com/the-bookstore" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Bookstore</a> ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/45052587</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 May 2021 19:28:19 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/45052587/inspire_change_episode_3_90_mountains_of_the_sea_making_good_men_great_a_timely_story.mp3" length="20753344" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bonfire Cinema</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>This week on Inspire Change, Gunter discusses the importance of storytelling in mental health and society and he highlights from his upcoming first novel Mountains of the Sea from Winterwolf Press that is currently on sale for pre-order and will be...</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[This week on Inspire Change, Gunter discusses the importance of storytelling in mental health and society and he highlights from his upcoming first novel Mountains of the Sea from Winterwolf Press that is currently on sale for pre-order and will be released globally in stores and online retailers on June 1, 2021.<br /><br />Mountains of the Sea is the first novel from Australian psychologist, speaker, mentor and podcast host, Gunter Swoboda.

Gunter LiveShow discussing Domestic Violence & Consent Vs Non-Consent in Sexual Relationships with Special Guests Gunter’s wife Lorin Josephson Co-Founder of the Making Good Men Great Movement and past guest on Inspire Change. We also want to welcome the filmmakers/stars of the award-winning Short Film Strawberry Cake Myrna Cabello  & Ashley Weismantel. <br /><br />Myrna Cabello is an award winning producer, director, writer, editor, actor, singer-songwriter and visual artist based in New York City, originally from Austin, TX. She is first generation Latina of Mexican descent and was named one of the top 100 influential Latinas by the Austin History Center.  Her career began onstage in theatre before transitioning to on camera after graduating with a degree in Fine Art from The University of Texas.  She has hundreds of appearances in TV/Film, commercials and in voice work, recently as Guillermo’s mom in “What We Do In The Shadows” and as the bilingual animated voice of Zobey for The Texas Department of Health which has over 4 million views on youtube.  Her work in front of the camera led to the opportunity to produce and direct industrial documentaries for the Texas Department of Health as well as commercials. As a creator she produced a Multi-Media Musical including original songs for the famous Long Center in Austin, TX and music videos for her band. During quarantine she created a variety show with her husband titled “Myrna and the Bulldog in 3D” as well as the award winning short “Strawberry Cake”.  <br /><br /><br />Ashley Weismantel is an actor, model, voiceover artist and producer based in New York City, originally from Kaneohe, Hawaii. Her spunk and quirkiness coupled with her passion for entertaining children, started her career on stage and landed her tours in children’s educational shows across the country as well as numerous commercials, films and TV shows. One of her greatest loves is passing onto the next generation her passion for literacy and the arts through storytelling which she currently gets to do with a non-profit in New York City. Her work on stage and in front of the camera led to writing, starring and producing her own children's theatre show that toured the Hawaiian Islands for three years and multiple award-winning short films that had success in the festival circuits. Some of her recent bookings include: A series regular on Couples Therapy, three national commercials, multiple voiceover spots and the recurring animated voice of Helix in the Series Galaxy Defenders. During the 2020 pandemic she co-created the award-winning short film “Strawberry Cake”.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/inspire-change-with-gunter--3633478/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/inspire-change-with-gunter--3633478/support</a>.<br /><br /><i><b>Patreon</b></i><br />If this episode resonates with you and you’d like to go deeper into practical exercises and guided reflection, Gunter offers extended self-development resources and exercises through our Patreon community: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.patreon.com/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Sponsor</b></i><br />Distil UnionThis episode of Inspire Change with Gunter is brought to you by Distil Union, creators of beautifully designed, functional everyday carry accessories that help bring organization, simplicity, and intention into your daily life.Distil Union blends craftsmanship with thoughtful design to help you carry what matters most — without the clutter.👉 Explore their products and receive your exclusive listener discount by visiting: <a href="https://www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Reach Out</b></i><br />If you are interested in guest appearances, guest hosting opportunities, or suggesting topics, please contact Emilia Osborne, Showrunner’s Assistant: Emilia.Osborne@bonfirecinema.com<br /><br />To purchase Gunter's books, they are available at all retailers and online shops or check out: <a href="https://www.gunterswoboda.com/the-bookstore" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Bookstore</a> ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/43864276</guid><pubDate>Sat, 13 Mar 2021 00:03:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/43864276/live_show_episode_3_79_inspire_change_with_gunter.mp3" length="98846511" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bonfire Cinema</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Inspire Change with Gunter LiveShow discussing Domestic Violence &amp; Consent Vs Non-Consent in Sexual Relationships with Special Guests Gunter’s wife Lorin Josephson Co-Founder of the Making Good Men Great Movement and past guest on Inspire Change.

This is is a discussion with just ordinary men's men and I think you'll be inspired as they discuss men's health, masculinity and mental health.<br /><br />About our guests:<br />Luke and Browny are two best mates from Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Having both spent the last 17 years working in the live sports and entertainment industry, they find themselves with way too much time on their hands, on the back of COVID19. They decided to put this spare time to good use, and open up the forum for Men’s Mental Health. From depression to anxiety, and everything in between, they chat about all the things men hate to chat about. Strap yourselves in. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you will hopefully keep listening.

enters a discussion with a special guest, Lorin Josephson: Philospher, Teacher, Mentor/Coach and Ethicist. Fun Fact: She is also Gunter's wife and a co-founder of the Good Men Great global movement. Lorin can be seen as a Keynote Speaker  in the international award-winning documentary on Amazon Prime "Masculinity That Inspires Change". <br /><br />Philosophy is a continuous conversation between people who are interested in the both the big, and the ordinary questions of life. This conversation has been exploring what it is to be a human, and how we can live our lives as individuals, and with each other within our societies, for nearly three thousand years.<br /> <br />For the last few centuries it has gradually located itself within academic institutions, however Philosophical Practitioners are now coming back out into the community. Combining the insights of both Philosophy and Psychotherapy, within the context of a counselling process. This approach to Philosophy has been rediscovered over the last few decades both in Europe and North America. It is often called a Socratic approach to Philosophy, because it was Socrates who first took to the streets of Athens to talk to everyone that was interested, about the questions and problems of human life. He focused on Practical Wisdom.  <br /> <br />As a Philosophical Practitioner Josephson wants to help people to embrace wisdom as they deal with the problems of living.  Through directed questioning and discussion, as individuals and within groups, Philosophy can open up our thinking, and expand our understanding of ourselves. This helps us understand others, and the moral dimension of action in the world. It helps us look at meaning and purpose within the framework of our values, so that the answers we find to the dilemma's of life, are true and authentic to who we are, and who we want to be.

Change Episode 2-22: Men Psychology Change &amp; Thoughts on Current Affairs w/Guests Mark Hodgson &amp; Dr. Mark Williams</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/inspire-change-episode-2-22-men-psychology-change-thoughts-on-current-affairs-w-guests-mark-hodgson-dr-mark-williams--32789004</link><description><![CDATA[This week on Inspire Change, Gunter discusses Men, Psychology, Change and Thoughts on the current state of affairs with two very special guests in studio: Mark Hodgson - Speaker/Author/Mentor and Dr. Mark Williams - Scientist/Author/Speaker.<br /><br />Mark spent 25 years as a corporate leader with expertise initially in media sales, but he became fascinated with leadership and change as he gained experience working in the UK, Central Europe, Russia and finally Australia.  Hodgson decided to start his own leadership consultancy when he was made redundant. Having led a business transformation, turned a $1 million loss into a $4 million profit and empowered many great staff members to shine, his entire leadership team was 'exited'. Incensed by the stupidity and ever the maverick, he decided to take fate into his own hands.  It has been a journey of challenge, stretch but ultimately growth, learning, reward and - most importantly - happiness. Based on his own experience and study (including a degree in Change Management) and by partnering with organisations including ‘Thought Leaders’ and ‘About My Brain Institute’,  Mark had developed his own thought leadership and began to help others to do the same. That's gone from a trickle to a flood and each year. Mark mentors 25 people from around the world. He also has  done a lot of great change, strategy and leadership work with teams - helping them to step up to meet today’s work and life challenges.  Mark has been a guest on Sky News Business and for information, please check his website: <a href="https://markhodgson.com.au/" rel="noopener">https://markhodgson.com.au/</a><br /><br />Dr. Mark Williams’s love of  science, surfing, surf life saving, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and especially his young family; he has two children aged 7 and 9 who keep him young and active. Because of them he has  become involved in several programs in both primary and high schools.  Mark is a Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at Macquarie University. He has extensive experience in research and teaching and has authored 80+ publications. Concerned about the negative effects of over-use of technology on our human interactions, he is passionate about helping people to reconnect with what matters in the real world.  Mark is currently making waves with his ‘Why Smartphones are Making us Dumb’ keynote and his challenging thinking on the over-use of technology in schools and workplaces.   Not a typical ‘academic’, Mark comes from a disjointed family background. He hated school and experienced first-hand the challenges of getting ahead in a small town in Victoria. To describe these years as ‘colourful’ is an understatement.   Aged 25, something changed. Mark returned to learning, completed his HSC and began what became a rapid rise to academic achievement, including being awarded both the CJ Martin and the Queen Elisabeth II Fellowships. He became fascinated with how we interact, learn and think. Mark went on to study brain plasticity, attention disorders, autism, prosopagnosia (face blindness), dementia and eating disorders. He has been at the cutting edge of developing computational brain imaging analysis and the adoption of new technologies like virtual reality in research.   In addition to his teaching and research work at Macquarie University, Mark now runs programs for schools, parents, businesses and individuals to address the many problems that technologies (like smartphones) are creating. Learning outcomes, resilience, curiosity, tolerance and emotional intelligence are all declining whilst stress, anxiety, depression and suicide are rising. Money and technology alone are not the answer to innovative practices in our schools, workplaces and society. We need a significant shift in our understanding.  Through his talks and strategies, Mark explains how our brains learn and adapt and why modern technology is addictive and potentially harmful. Mark helps people disconnect from their devices to improve their wellbeing, giving them back the time to connect, socialise, innovate, contribute and live in the real world.  Mark has been a guest on Sky News and ABC Australia and more information on Dr. Williams’s  work can be found on his website: <a href="https://www.drmarkwilliams.com/" rel="noopener">https://www.drmarkwilliams.com/</a><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/inspire-change-with-gunter--3633478/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/inspire-change-with-gunter--3633478/support</a>.<br /><br /><i><b>Patreon</b></i><br />If this episode resonates with you and you’d like to go deeper into practical exercises and guided reflection, Gunter offers extended self-development resources and exercises through our Patreon community: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.patreon.com/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Sponsor</b></i><br />Distil UnionThis episode of Inspire Change with Gunter is brought to you by Distil Union, creators of beautifully designed, functional everyday carry accessories that help bring organization, simplicity, and intention into your daily life.Distil Union blends craftsmanship with thoughtful design to help you carry what matters most — without the clutter.👉 Explore their products and receive your exclusive listener discount by visiting: <a href="https://www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Reach Out</b></i><br />If you are interested in guest appearances, guest hosting opportunities, or suggesting topics, please contact Emilia Osborne, Showrunner’s Assistant: Emilia.Osborne@bonfirecinema.com<br /><br />To purchase Gunter's books, they are available at all retailers and online shops or check out: <a href="https://www.gunterswoboda.com/the-bookstore" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Bookstore</a> ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/32789004</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2020 12:00:09 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/32789004/inspire_change_epi_2_22.mp3" length="58900479" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bonfire Cinema</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>This week on Inspire Change, Gunter discusses Men, Psychology, Change and Thoughts on the current state of affairs with two very special guests in studio: Mark Hodgson - Speaker/Author/Mentor and Dr. Mark Williams - Scientist/Author/Speaker.&#13;

I am Miranda Spigener-Sapon, Executive Producer of Inspire Change & moderator of today’s show. Today Gunter will be discussing the current events happening in our world from the pandemic to the peaceful protests and riots. We will discussing Anti-Feminism and Masculinity and how we can do better as humans and work together to find and create solutions .  Joining us on air I’d like to introduce our guests: We have Bernard Robichaud: a well known actor who you’ve seen in movies like Sea Change or Blue Seduction with Billy Zane, but he’s bet known as series regular Cyrus in Netflix Original series Trailer Park Boys and recurred as Kirk in SyFy’s Haven; next we have Jahnavi Foster an LA Times Bestselling author of Divine Love and her latest cookbook Mouthwatering Meatless Meals. Jahnavi is  also a wellness coach who spent 12 years in an ashram and continues to teach and speak about holistic, healthy living. Andrew Flores is a Producer and film/TV and Stage actor. You’ve seen him recur in USA Network’s Queen of the South and will soon be co-starring alongside Bernard in a new sci-fi mini-series called The New. Last but not least, joining us is Amy Drewry an award-winning documentary filmmaker who recently completed her 4th PBS film: The Virginia Peanut Story. Her previous documentaries include: Wired for Life, Early Childhood Education & Care, Surviving Abundance Overweight Kids in Crisis and Kingdom By the Sea: Fortress Monroe. She also directed the theatrical production for stage “Ruined ” for one of the most respected black universities Hampton University in 2014. She currently lives on a small diverse working farm with her husband in Virginia.  And now the host of Inspire Change, Gunter Swoboda: International Speaker, Author, Psychologist and Producer.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/inspire-change-with-gunter--3633478/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/inspire-change-with-gunter--3633478/support</a>.<br /><br /><i><b>Patreon</b></i><br />If this episode resonates with you and you’d like to go deeper into practical exercises and guided reflection, Gunter offers extended self-development resources and exercises through our Patreon community: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.patreon.com/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Sponsor</b></i><br />Distil UnionThis episode of Inspire Change with Gunter is brought to you by Distil Union, creators of beautifully designed, functional everyday carry accessories that help bring organization, simplicity, and intention into your daily life.Distil Union blends craftsmanship with thoughtful design to help you carry what matters most — without the clutter.👉 Explore their products and receive your exclusive listener discount by visiting: <a href="https://www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.DistilUnion.com/discount/inspirechange</a><br /><br /><i><b>Reach Out</b></i><br />If you are interested in guest appearances, guest hosting opportunities, or suggesting topics, please contact Emilia Osborne, Showrunner’s Assistant: Emilia.Osborne@bonfirecinema.com<br /><br />To purchase Gunter's books, they are available at all retailers and online shops or check out: <a href="https://www.gunterswoboda.com/the-bookstore" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Bookstore</a> ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/30489697</guid><pubDate>Fri, 12 Jun 2020 23:00:22 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/30489697/inspire_change_with_gunter_live_show_episode_2_20.mp3" length="61798608" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bonfire Cinema</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>This week on Inspire Change with Gunter, we are pleased to be on the air LIVE with some very special guests joining the discussion.
