They emphasize the importance of taking responsibility for our actions and choosing how we want to live in the afternoon of life. The conversation also touches on the differences between men and women in their approach to the shattering and the importance of finding inner power and acceptance.

Wolverine Spirituality & JJ McCarthy

The Fisher King

After shock jock Jack Lucas (Jeff Bridges) inadvertently provokes a caller into murdering a group of innocent people in a Manhattan bar, he grows depressed and turns to booze. As he's about to hit rock bottom, Lucas meets a homeless man named Parry (Robin Williams), whose wife was killed by the caller Lucas pushed to the brink. Mentally scarred by his loss, Parry spends his days searching for the Holy Grail. Lucas, feeling culpable for the poor man's plight, pledges to help him in his quest. This is a movie about a person's (men in particular) journey to confront the damage they have done (and we all do it), facing it, healing it and redeemding it and leaving behind the Fisher King to become the True King.

Calling All Kings: Why Men Need To Become Kings In The Afternoon of Life

Every man I coach in their 40s - 60s knows what I mean when I say: "It's time to be the king." It's not about oppressive patriarchy or toxic masculinity (terms that have been co-opted and abused recently). It's about helping our boys become men and men become kings to stand firm in their values, fulfill their responsibilities, and serve those around them in integrity, duty, and honor: those who came before them and those who follow in their footsteps as true kings always do.
