About this episode
In this powerful episode of the Man of War Podcast, we sit down with Elliot Wise entrepreneur, husband, and father who built and lost a fortune by 21, only to come back stronger. But this isn’t just about money. It’s about what it means to lead a family, build a legacy, and become a man worth following.
Elliot and Rafa dive deep into the crisis of modern masculinity, the collapse of traditional values, and how weak men allow weak societies to rise. From the sanctity of marriage to self-reinvention after fatherhood, this conversation exposes what most won’t say out loud: modern men are soft, and it’s time to change that.
If you’re a man searching for purpose, power, or just the truth start here.

• Masculinity is not toxic—it’s necessary
• Confidence starts with becoming a man of value
