Content Calendar

March 9, 2025

Welcome to the Monthly Content Calendar

This is where you’ll find my latest work—updated every month with five new articles.

One is free for everyone, monthly.

…but the other four? They’re for those who understand that some things (and people) are worth investing in.

If you watch the video next to these words, you’ll see bags under my eyes—signs of exhaustion, because the late nights working are real.

I’m raising money for Wolven Industries, and everything tied to its “lore”. 

If you want to know what’s coming next, check back here at the start of each month.

These are what start the real conversations driving the social media pages. Let me know if you’d like me to cover any specific topic.

For instance, I started writing about masculinity, but I could also shift into anything from politics, philosophy, etc. with your feedback.

So, if you subscribe to my Substack, you can request me to cover different topics. While not every request will be approved, each one will be genuinely considered—my writing is meant to serve you.

Subscribe to Substack

If my work has ever challenged you, opened, or expanded your mind, clarified something you couldn’t put into words, validated something you were sure about your past, or made you see the world a little differently—then watch the video above.

I am not just writing articles. I am building something much bigger. And if you see the value in what I’m doing, Substack is how you can help make it happen while I use the proceeds to fund the progression of technology.

Sign up to a year of my Substack, and you’ll receive a FREE digital copy of Yield (when it’s released), as well as red-wax sealed letters, handwritten by me, sent to your home (or other mailing address).

NOTE: If you have already bought Yield, then you will receive a free year of my Substack in reverse.

Why Women Crave Strong Men:
How Weak, Indecisive Men
Negatively Affect Women

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
— Theodore Roosevelt

For women stuck in relationships in which they are forced to lead, the pull toward a stronger man than the one they are with is natural.

This does not mean that they would necessarily cheat, but perhaps lash out at or even fall out of love with the person they are committed to, while even fantasizing about someone else.

This article breaks down the psychological need for secure leadership in relationships, highlighting why women instinctively gravitate toward men who embody consistency, integrity, and the courage to take responsibility.

Servant-Leadership:
On Effortlessly Commanding Respect By Being The First On Your Family’s Battlefields

The king is the first servant of the sovereign.
— Frederick the Great of Prussia

True leadership is about serving first, leading by example, and taking responsibility before anyone else has to.

The people of a home respect the man of the house as king when they see that he is first to face hardship and danger, the reliance for provision and wisdom, and the first to sacrifice for those he loves.

This article explores how respect for masculine leadership is earned and continually maintained, not demanded or forced, and how stepping up—rather than standing back—naturally wins respect in relationships and family life.

The Female Orgasm:
A Psychoanalytical Model For Understanding How To Cause It In Most Women

The desire of the man is for the woman, but the desire of the woman is for the desire of the man.
— Madame de Staël

The goal is simply to get a woman to let go.

The female orgasm isn’t just a physical reaction—it’s deeply tied to psychological safety, emotional connection, and subconscious trust…which cannot be accomplished (no matter how hard a man tries) if certain factors aren’t holistically in order first.

This article breaks down a psychoanalytic model for understanding the mental and emotional factors that determine whether a woman can fully let go, revealing why true satisfaction comes neither from technique nor size alone (though, these do matter), but from the presence of a man who knows how to lead, protect, and attune to her multidimensional needs.

Performative Masculinity vs. True Strength:
How Men Lose Women
By Lying To Themselves

Any man who must say ‘I am the king’ is no true king.
— Tywin Lannister (Game of Thrones)

A man may call himself a leader, but if he collapses under certain pressures, overcompensates with ego, or plays a role instead of radiating genuine confidence, the truth always comes out, and most often by his own demonstration.

…Sooner or later.

This article explores why women instinctively test men for various weaknesses, as well as why doing so is necessary, and what it all means.

Shallow masculinity crumbles in real moments of crisis, and external projection means nothing if it isn’t backed by internal truth.

A Woman’s Hero Against Her Villain:
How They Are Two Sides Of
The Same Coin

The measure of a man is what he does with power.
— Plato

A woman’s vulnerabilities are not weaknesses but contextually determining factors of a man’s value to her.

What defines a man in a romantic sense is what he does with her vulnerability and why.

This article views classical femininity through a Jungian psychological scope, pertaining to how whether a man would be a woman’s hero or villain are two separate sides of the same coin of masculinity.
