He and his wife lead an online community where they teach others the art of homesteading, natural living, and homeschooling.

Josh Tyler of Savage Gentleman joins us on this edition of the Manlihood ManCast. Tyler was a professional MMA fighter and is the co-founder of Savage Gentlemen.

In the past few years, for a number of reasons, there’s been a dramatic increase in the number of families choosing to homeschool. Many had no choice but to opt into an “at home” model during the pandemic, and that created a number of situations where parents decided that home was the best place for their children to learn.
Today’s guest, Philip Mott is an expert, not only in education, but in homeschooling.
As a student in his early years Philip struggled. He was disengaged and did not take a liking to school in the least. Over the years as a reluctant learner, Philip started understanding more and more about the education system and diving into the reasons why children feel the way he did. This led him to believe that a systemic issue existed in the way we educate and relate to children. This sparked a passion in Philip that drove him to become a teacher himself. His vision is to help kids and parents take an alternative approach to education in order to have the best outcome for both student and parent. Philip is changing the way families look at education timelines and support while working with their kids.
Philip Mott is a writer, community facilitator and father. Philip holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Elementary Education. His focus is on empowering students to be self-directed learners and honoring the humanity of our children in all our interactions with them. Philip writes for newspapers, magazines and blogs covering alternative education approaches and homeschooling. He is also in the process of writing his first book. He is the creator and curator of philipmott.com – where he shares articles, essays, and other media about the ways adults and children interact.
Today’s guest is an LA County firefighter who previously served as an Army Ranger, with multiple deployments into Iraq and Afghanistan.
You can imagine that he’s “seen some stuff.”
But Nole Lilly’s personal traumas were even deeper, and he found himself in a dark place…
Nole currently lives in the mountains of Southern California, with his wife Heather and their 3 children. Nole and Heather have been married for 18 years. He has worked as a fireman with L.A. County Fire for the past 12 years. Prior to that, he served as a United States Army Ranger, deploying multiple times into Iraq and Afghanistan. Nole and Heather have experienced the death of two of their sons and their journey through that loss has shaped much of the people they have become today. Nole has also dealt with post-traumatic stress related to the loss of his sons and his time serving as a Ranger. As a fireman, Nole has continued to live and work in a world where exposure to trauma can be a very regular occurrence. From this experience, Nole felt called to start a podcast where he could share his experiences with others who are working through difficult times in life and also share the struggles and triumphs of other men that he admires.
Helping men level up in their careers and their roles at home.
Nick Matiash is a husband, father, author, and leader of the Evolved Man; an initiative committed to helping men pair hard work with heart work in life and relationships.
Nick’s mission is to awaken men to be the most authentic version of themselves, and to truly understand the power of their emotions, healing and harnessing them, rather than stuffing them or being ruled by them.
Most men live lives of mediocrity. This is a call to something more.
Nick believes that as men can work through the barriers that they have set up in their hearts and minds, they’ll be better husbands, fathers, leaders, and be able to be better in their careers too.
We’re often held back by our deepest insecurities, and those insecurities often come from a very real place that we may have to fight to reclaim.
Nick also talks about the role of a husband and father as a leader, as a lover, and how to do that, we have to make the time in our life to take better care of our own mental and emotional health.
Men don’t like to think about their mental health or their emotions.
But it’s incredibly important for us to be able to lead from a position of strength and wholeness, not a position of brokenness and trauma and burnout.
Book Description: You wanted to be an astronaut, a doctor, or even the President of the United States.
When you were a kid your mind ran wild with imagination, daydreaming about all that you would accomplish and how amazing life would be. But at some point, the large life that you felt destined to live simply shrunk. It’s been minimized by experiences that have left you jaded, limitations that you’ve perceived, and people around you telling you to, “be realistic.”
The sky that you once thought to be the limit has been replaced by a painfully claustrophobic ceiling.
There’s more life to be lived, and there’s a part of you that knows it.
Whether it be in life, love, health or business…you feel like you’re missing something. Like you overslept on the day they were handing out all the rules to success and fulfillment and missed your chance to grab a copy.

I’ve known Isaac Greeley since we were kids, we ride the same school bus together, and shared a lot of experiences growing up in a small town, in a small school, where some of the best people on earth are mined from the ground like silver.
Isaac talks with Manlihood about the life lessons he learned as a high school and college wrestler, and how that translated into his career as a chiropractor, and a coach who has coached champions in any number of combat sports.
Isaac talks about the bonds formed in mentoring relationships with coaches, in small groups with other men and young men, and the way that challenges and hardships as an athlete have helped him overcome similar challenges in everyday life.
Andrew Wright of the hard-rock band My Silent Reality has had one dream for many years, to be a rockstar. He’s fought through obstacles that derail others to make that dream a reality – a reality that is anything BUT silent.
