In this episode ofThe Restorative Man Podcast, co-hosts Chris Bruno and Jesse French discuss the final stages of a man’s journey: “The Restored King” and “The Sage.” The "Restored King" emerges from his wounds, not by force or effort, but by finding inner peace and accepting his scars as part of his story. This stage is marked by wisdom, humility, and leadership that invites relief and trust from those around him. In the final stage, “The Sage,” a man divests from external importance and embraces a life of guidance and presence, offering wisdom without the need for recognition. Both stages reflect a man’s evolution from striving to embodying his true purpose.
