Dave’s Journey from Cancer to Courage — Embracing the Warrior and the Lover

special guest Dave Mann to their new studio. Inspired by the shocking statistic that a man takes his own life every 15 minutes in the U.S., Dave shares his personal journey from surviving cancer and deep depression to finding purpose through peer support. He opens up about balancing the “warrior” with the “lover” archetype—strength and vulnerability—and the life-changing role of structured peer groups.Together, Baruch and Dave delve into the importance of identifying your “why” and your absolutes, the transformative power of peer-led sharing (not advice), and how structured support has helped Dave overcome adversity—from health scares to personal loss. They also touch on Dave’s recent plant-medicine journey, which he says “opened a magic door,” and how peer groups and thoughtful ceremony support deep healing.This episode is a rallying cry: suicide isn't the answer—living courageously is. It’s a testament to the life-saving power of connection, community, and unapologetic vulnerability.—Tune in for:Dave’s raw and hopeful personal storyWhat peer groups really are—and why structure mattersA deep dive into the warrior/lover archetypesTools for men to reclaim purpose, respect, and emotional healthDave’s reflections on grief, brotherhood, and how to love others well==Join our Own Your Number Enneagram Program just for 98$, and well, own your relationships.
