🎙️ Episode 1: THE OVERVIEW — WELCOME TO THE CAVE, WHERE THE MAN IS MADE

Masculinity isn’t toxic—confused masculinity is.
 
      In this raw and unfiltered debut episode, David Jeremiah Akhigbe (aka Pneuma) kicks off the journey into The Cave—a space where real men come to confront truth, identity, and inner strength. This isn’t a pep talk or a podcast for posers. It’s a mirror. One that might make you uncomfortable, but will absolutely make you better—if you’re willing to face it.

Pneuma lays out the four pillars of the show:
  • The Man – Identity, emotions, wounds, fatherhood, self-worth.
  • His Cave – Mental health, solitude, healing, creativity, inner work.
  • His Code – Values, discipline, integrity, and the lines you refuse to cross.
  • The Primal Within – Strength, drive, sex, anger, instincts—not to suppress, but to master.

This episode calls out the confusion between strength and toxicity, the lack of spaces for real masculine development, and the need for deeper growth in a world full of shallow noise.

If you’re tired of the fake, the fluffy, and the “five tips to fake manhood,” this is your wake-up call.

Weekly episodes. No fluff. Just fire.
