Michael Diamond is joined by his wife and new co-host, NaniLea Diamond, for a conversation about what it actually means to embody King energy. They discuss how men step into their sovereignty, why most are stuck in adolescent flexing instead of owning who they are, and how the feminine sees a man before he even sees himself. NaniLea lays it down—what makes a man trustworthy, why the King must claim his path before she arrives, and the exact moment a woman loses faith in a man. If you’re here to stop playing small, step into your mission, and create a relationship rooted in truth, this is one you don’t want to miss.

Michael sits down with longtime brother and IgKnight leader, Mike Patterson, to talk in depth about what really happens when men commit to this work. Mike breaks down the power of immersion—how stepping into the fire with other men strips away the noise, reconnects you to your purpose, and moves you from stuck to aligned action. They unpack the moments that change everything: facing the emotions you’ve numbed out, breaking through old stories, and realizing you’re not alone in this. From healing family wounds to discovering untapped energy, Mike shares how this work keeps him sharp, present, and on mission. If you've ever felt the pull to step in but hesitated, this one’s for you.
