Unveiling the Art of Masculinity: Exploring The Man Within | Johnny Elsasser Ep 420

In our modern world, the true meaning of masculinity and what it means to be a man has become lost. This has become a pressing issue in our society that needs to be addressed.

In today's episode, we have the privilege of having Johnny Elsasser, back on the podcast. He is a former Special Operations U.S. Army Ranger with extensive combat experience, who has delved into this subject in his new book, "Design the Man Within." Johnny's mission is to help men and women alike understand the essence of masculinity, how to become better men, and how to incorporate the true art of masculinity into their daily lives.

Johnny Elsasser's journey has given him unique insights into the field of masculinity from extreme alpha perspectives. Having served four combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as five years protecting the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq in Baghdad, he intimately understands the trials and tribulations faced by men, including the toughest among them, in today's society. Recognizing the importance of authenticity, Johnny aims to empower men in developing their true masculine identities rather than conforming to societal expectations. His advocacy centers on helping men discover their own masculine blueprint and purpose, enabling them to become positive contributors to the world.

About the Podcast

University of Adversity
Real stories and tools to help you grow through adversity, burnout, and reinvention.
University of Adversity is a show about the moments that change us — especially the ones we didn’t ask for.

I’m Lance Essihos, and I sit down with athletes, bestselling authors, doctors, entrepreneurs, spiritual teachers, and everyday warriors to have real conversations about adversity — the kind that strips away the surface and forces us to face who we really are.

We go deep into the mindset shifts, emotional breakthroughs, and practical tools that helped them rebuild. Not just to survive, but to come back stronger, clearer, and more aligned.

This isn’t motivation.
It’s what happens after the breakdown, when you’re trying to put the pieces back together and make it mean something.

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, burnout, or reinvention — this show is here to walk with you.

We don’t just talk about getting through the hard times.
We talk about who you become because of them.

Lance Essihos

As an experienced veteran with adversity, Lance has faced some of life's most difficult challenges. Grinding his way through the hockey ranks to traveling the world as a bartender. Through his personal battle with drugs and alcohol for well over a decade, the tragic loss of his brother to suicide followed by the great loss of his father to cancer only a year later, Lance realized he had hit rock bottom. In the darkest of days, he made a promise to himself that he would create a new life, one that would make an impact and inspire the masses, leaving the world in a better place than he found it. Lance has made it his mission to facilitate the message of positive change through adversity and encourage people to see the light through the darkness of life's worst moments.
