"The first step to anything worthwhile is commitment. But the second you commit to something, counter commitments and resistance will arise." -Christopher John Stubbs

The following is an interview I did with my book writing coach Meg Calvin the day of my book release for The Atma Male.

Meg: I'm with Christopher John Stubbs. He is the founder of the Wolfpack and the Men of Sovereignty. He's been a men's empowerment coach for almost two decades, since 2006. His expertise and pursuit of greatness as a father, husband, businessman, and thought leader have tremendously blessed his own life and the lives of many others.

I'm going to pause here because today's the book drop day. So what I'm going to do right now is drop the link below this live video for you to hop over and get your copy of The Atma Male on paperback, Kindle, or Audible. At a time when misconceptions about what it means to be an alpha male are leaving so many men stuck, empty, and exhausted, Christopher has transposed his two decades of coaching into a book format for you. As Gay Hendricks calls it, it's “a spirited inquiry on what it means to be a man in the 21st century.” He can't wait to save readers tons of time, energy, and misery on their journey to embracing, as Dr. Jacob Goodson says, “a healthy version of masculinity. As well as what it means to think of the masculine in constructive, non-toxic ways.”

These are hot topic issues right now that we're all looking for guidance and answers to, and we're all looking for a safe space to have these conversations. And I'm so thankful that Christopher has created this safe space for these questions in this beautiful book. As I've said, today is drop day, the discounted price and the book are right below. So get your copy, and now the moment you've all been waiting for, I'm going to turn it over to Christopher.

Meg: Christopher, we always love to hear from authors. What authors inspired you when writing this book?

Christopher: I love this because these authors have been absolutely key in blessing my life beyond measure. Gay Hendricks is absolutely key. He has been so dear to my heart. He has blessed my life and Kathleen, his wife, beyond measure. Throughout the ages, I call it ages because it's felt like ages, I've dove in so deep and navigated so much and been to the extreme highs and extreme lows. Gay and Kathleen Hendricks have blessed my life beyond measure and they've been the foundation for me to transform my life in such beautiful ways.

In the more recent years, the three most impactful authors have been Paramahansa Yogananda, Michael Singer, and Joe Dispenza. They have blessed my life beyond measure.

Meg: In a time where you are very productive, your calendar is full with one-on-one coaching, group coaching, retreats, and you are a very committed husband and father, what inspired you to create this book?

Christopher: It just began to flow. Gay Hendricks himself told me many years ago, "Hey, you need to write books." I signed up for a course of his back in 2014 and began to write, but I ran into so much resistance that I quit. I always knew I would come back to it. It was always bubbling up, like, "Hey, you need to write." People would always tell me, "You gotta write a book. You have the most amazing stories and experiences, and you've overcome so much. You gotta share this with the world." I was just like, "Okay, yeah, I'll know when it's time."

The very thing that kept me from writing the first book is one of the big things this book helps people overcome. The first step to anything worthwhile is commitment. But the second you commit to something, counter commitments and resistance will arise. In that first iteration, because of the mental discipline and mastery I've been gaining over the years, I was able to incorporate that as well as the zone of genius. Rather than trying to do it on my own, I hired someone in their genius to help make those obstacles less pervasive and overwhelming. That was key.

The additional support from editors, designers, and my team, bringing in Sean to help the writing, finding ways to extract it from me while staying in my zone of genius, all helped. Developing that inner landscape that allowed me to get to peaceful, clear places, allowing the information to flow through, and becoming the man capable of committing to big things and following through on those big things, regardless of resistance or counter commitments, was crucial.

Meg: You mentioned some people who supported you. Is there anyone else that did support you in serving men with this book?

Christopher: My wife, my kids, family, friends. I am just overjoyed. Sometimes in life, when I'm really struggling, I feel like I've served so much and wonder where the reciprocation is. But today, I've been moved to tears multiple times as I've received support from friends, tribe, community, family members, clients, past clients, retreat attendees, and more. The support has been tremendous.

Meg: Your street team is killer. Just so many amazingly committed folks who have been blessed by you and now want to share that with others. For people watching this now or watching the replay, who might not know you and are men or their wives, grandmothers, or moms wondering if this book is for them or the men they love, what would you say?

Christopher: I believe strongly that every teenage to adult human would be tremendously blessed at any age to read, digest, and integrate what I've shared in this book. It ends the outward seeking and addresses what's chaotic in society. It transmutes the traumas and pains of the past, clears out cravings and aversions, brings stillness, peace, clarity, and inspiration, and lines everything up.

The book was inspired and flowed through me during a very dark time in my life. I studied deeply, meditated for hours a day, and received downloads. This work is about finding divinity within, becoming your Atma self, your higher self, your highest expression, your spiritual essence. As we live from that place, we serve with the greatest ease, joy, grace, and flow.

Meg: Thank you so much, Christopher, for sharing yourself with us and your gifts. If people love this book, do they have an opportunity to join you in a Facebook group?

Christopher: Yes, if they're a man, they can join the Wolfpack free Facebook group. If they're a man or a woman, they can join the Warrior 44 challenge and begin their transformation for free. The group, the challenge, the workbook, the whole thing.

Meg: Thank you again, Christopher, for taking the time to be with us today and to share.

Christopher: Thank you so much, Meg, for everything. And thank you to all you viewers, supporters, family, friends, everyone. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Blessings.

Meg: Bye, friends. Blessings.
