Summary

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. Jimmy Rex is a renowned figure in personal development and real estate. As the founder of “We Are The They,” he leads a global coaching program and social movement aimed at helping men lead exceptional lives. Jimmy hosts “The Jimmy Rex Show,” a highly-rated podcast with over 580 episodes, featuring top guests like Ed Mylett, Jerry West, Lewis Howes, and Rob O'Neill. He has also appeared on over 100 podcasts, including "Modern Wisdom." He is the author of the best-seller “You End Up Where You’re Heading” and “BE ONE: How to Be a Healthy Man in Toxic Times.” With over 20 years in real estate, he has sold more than 2,500 homes and assisted in the sale of an additional 4,000 homes to investors, including selling the most expensive home ever in Utah. Jimmy’s background in stand-up comedy adds laughter to his speaking engagements, making him a sought-after speaker and influencer.

0:03.7	I hear the sentence a lot like,
0:05.5	there's no good men out there or where are all the good men?
