In this episode Mark sits down with men’s coach, author, and mentor Jimmy Rex to explore his extraordinary journey from top-selling realtor to founder of We Are The They, a global men’s movement built on authenticity, vulnerability, and integrity. Jimmy opens up about life-changing missions rescuing trafficking victims, adrenaline-fueled adventures, and the powerful rites of passage that shaped his mission to help men heal shame, repair relationships, and redefine masculinity as a force for good. This conversation challenges the belief that “there are no good men out there” and instead reveals what it truly takes to create deep, lasting connections in a world desperate for community and belonging.
