What if the life you’ve been living is just a path you followed because you didn't know a side door existed? In this high-energy conversation, John Paul Kingston sits down with Alec Rubin—a connector, entrepreneur, and men's work leader—to discuss why modern men are struggling to show up. From his roots as a summer camp counselor to his current mission as a "bloodline cycle breaker," Alec shares how he moved from the hustle of network marketing into residual wealth and sacred brotherhood. This episode is for the man who feels ready to open the "moss-covered door" and reclaim his sovereignty through discipline, devotion, and radical honesty.
