I first came across Traver after listening to him being interviewed on the Sacred Sons Podcast. Traver inspired me as a man. Talking about being uncivilised was properly up my alley. I subsequently purchased his book “Man UNcivilized” and now use that as one of my go-to reference books. It is relevant today and is written with a beautiful level of grunge and unashamed manliness.

Traver knows how men think, what’s behind their behaviour, and most importantly — their unique challenges in the modern landscape.

He is the founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement, the fastest-growing men’s movement in the world. Traver is the author of Today I Rise and Man UNcivilized, a two-time TEDx speaker, and a men’s coach and podcaster.

Drawing upon an eclectic background ranging from professional bodyguarding and Mixed Martial Arts to a Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and meditation, Traver counsels men, women, and couples on how to better understand men’s mental health and relationship difficulties.

Although he’s not quite sure how to feel about the title, he has been dubbed “The Man Whisperer” as he can speak to men in a way they can hear and understand.

In 2016 after losing a pregnancy, his marriage, and his business partnership within weeks of each other, he created a radical year-long social experiment to answer the questions, “Who am I and who am I as a man?”

• Volunteering with the dying as a hospice worker
• Meditating for 28 days straight in complete isolation and pitch-black darkness in a Guatemalan hut
• Living in the frigid Utah wilderness for a month with only a knife, a water bottle, and a blanket

With a passion for people and a unique lens through which to view the human experience, he is a highly sought-after teacher in consciousness, intimacy, and personal development. 

When not teaching workshops or radically shifting the way men experience their masculinity, he can be found obsessing over a single word in front of his laptop, chasing surf around the globe, and being awful at yoga.

This week's episode revisited the events that kicked off his inner search. We also discussed how he realised he was an UNcivilized man and how many people are currently living indoctrinated civilised lives. 

His mission is to change all that. In addition, we explored the lack of male
