RMP 120 - Travels & Trials As A Young Man with Rowan Tyne
“I’d rather fall down my way, of my own doing, than follow the default path”
Conforming to expectations and following the beaten path are among the most tragic pitfalls a man can make. Our guest, Rowan Tyne, is not afraid to blaze his own trail and make mistakes in the name of growth. His wild journey includes completing the first ever Compass Vision Fast, co-founding Wayfinders Media, and filming in the Himalayas. His mission is to help other men CONNECT – to their core, to their communities, and to Nature. We also cover how to change your relationship with darkness, why the comfortable life is dangerous, and what initiation can unlock within.
