Welcome Pradeep to men on the path to love.

Purdeep Sangha: Hey. Thanks, Bill. Appreciate you having me.

Bill Simpson: I'm really excited to be able to talk with you today. I wanna get into what it means to be a complete man. But first, you know, I I'll tell stories on my show on my podcast. It's all about telling stories. So I'd like to start off hearing your story of your journey and how you got to be where you are today.  I know that could take a long time.

Purdeep Sangha: So, hopefully, I don't drag it on too long. But I grew up so I'm in Canada. I grew up in in a small town. It's a little bit of a bigger city now called clona, British Columbia. And, my parents were immigrants. They immigrated over in their in the seventies, early seventies, and and then had, my brother and I, and and Pretty much we, I could say our entire childhood was, on an orchard. When my parents immigrated over from India, they didn't have any technical skill really. 

They didn't they weren't educated. And all they knew how to do was really work hard, and so they started working on an orchard. And then eventually saved up enough money and bought their own orchard and then started the family business. But that was a really interesting time for me because I that upbringing being on an orchard, it it in that place, because it's phenomenal. I call it the the Canadian version of Napa Valley, just beautiful hills mountain water skiing in the summer, skiing in the winter, just a complete paradise for Canada, and just an amazing place to grow up tons of Orchard's vineyards, but a very mindful environment. So, I spent a lot of time with nature and a lot of the days I actually just spent by myself with no one around, just me, the animals, the birds, gopher's.

Bill Simpson: Mhmm.

Purdeep Sangha: And so I think that gave me an interesting or unique take in, on life because I was just so connected to nature from that perspective. It's completely different than how kids are being raised today with screens and everything. So it's night and day. But on top of that, my parents had you can say be having an Indian background, we had traditional gender roles.

Bill Simpson: Right.

Purdeep Sangha: My mom worked as well, though. So she wasn't that she was staying at home. She worked just as hard as my dad, but she did the typical thing that women do. And then my dad did the typical things that men do And my dad was a very interesting person because we're talking about men on the path to love. My journey really started.

Purdeep Sangha: I I would say it was triggered by my dad. Because my dad was a very interesting person. He was a very masculine man, a big in stature, big in nature to if you walked into the room, you didn't even have see him, you could just sense his presence.

Bill Simpson: Yeah. 

Purdeep Sangha: And so we have that energy about him. The challenge with him was that and I shared in my book is that he struggled with alcoholism. And he was a great dad when he was sober. He was always someone I could rely on, but then when he drank, typically, he would drink a little bit too much. And he turned into a completely different person, completely different man.

Purdeep Sangha: And he he was scary because he had some unresolved challenges and issues And if something set him off, it was like a bomb went off. And so as a young boy, eight, seven, eight years old, if that happened, it just freaked me out

Bill Simpson: Sure.

Purdeep Sangha: But I learned at a very early age how to calm my dad down. I was the only person in the house that actually calmed him down, so I became the mediator. I I started to study his behavior.

Bill Simpson: You're kind of the the parentifier. It looks like.

Purdeep Sangha: Yeah. Yeah. I actually it it was an interesting, dichotomy because I loved my dad, but I also had this level of 8 because he if he was a bad dad, you know, it'd be one thing. But he was a great dad, from that perspective. He just had a challenge.

Purdeep Sangha: He couldn't get past. And I knew he wanted to get past it. He tried several times. He just didn't have the tools and you can say that the ability to do so, but I learned the psychology of men at that time and and the psychology of men and the dynamic between men and women particularly studying my parents.

Bill Simpson: Mhmm.

Purdeep Sangha: And the traditional gender roles for for example. And on top of that, My grandfather immigrated over to Canada as well, my grandfather, grandmother, and my grandfather had a huge impact in influence on me too. He was in the Indian army for 30 plus years. A very strong man. I say they don't make men like they used to be because he was that type of person very discipline, but also taught me the philosophy taught me about values, the principles.

Purdeep Sangha: A lot of the stuff we don't talk about as men these days, and with our boys, I mean, in particular. Right. And I I learned that at a very young age, but his dad, so my great grandfather was a spiritual teacher in India for 50 plus years. And so my grandfather was a very spiritual man, taught me mindfulness meditation. And so why I share this is because I grew up in this very interesting dynamic of men who are very strong, but also challenged as well.

Purdeep Sangha: The discipline side of it, but my dad was a very emotional man. He's probably the most emotional man I know because He was very statured, very masculine, but he had a very emotional side. No one could question his masculinity, but he was completely open with his emotions. And so that taught me something really interesting. And so fast forward, I went down the academic path and my background's also neuroscience.

Purdeep Sangha: Performance psychology as well as business. So I was very much about, you could say, the spiritual realm plus the science and performance and men, and then fast forward today's today's age or era, where I am today is working With men in a lot of different capacities, we work primarily with men who are business leaders, CEOs executives, business owners, managers, who are really looking to step up their personal performance and leadership as a business, but also as a spouse, a husband, and as a father. And we we do work with women as well, but we have a specific niche. There's some additional background around that as well because I created a research institution around performance and the psychology and the science behind it. But my mission in everyday life, I am on calls, meetings, leading workshops, training for men, helping them really succeed in their business and in their personal lives.

Bill Simpson: Wow. And you've got quite a background. And it sounds like all the influences that you had created that, you know, that, quote, unquote, complete man for you, not just that one one image of masculinity, what it meant to be a man, but you incorporated a lot of different things, which is all about being complete.

Purdeep Sangha: Yeah. For me, it was it was a journey. And I would say I there I I couldn't stop doing what doing even if I tried.

Bill Simpson: Right.

Purdeep Sangha: And I think because of my background in science, I'm very much an experimenter. So I take the spiritual aspect into play but I also take a look at the real hard facts and what's actually happening and the practicality of things. And so that all came together where we created a very specific niche in being able to help men because men are interesting.

Bill Simpson: Yeah.

Purdeep Sangha: There's definitely, the spiritual side, and I think a lot of men understand that and get that. But when trying to get people to shift, particularly men, shift their behavior, a lot easier to talk about the science. Yeah. Because that that goes much further. So they don't question it as much, even if they do question it, we have the science to show and back end, then they're like, okay.

Purdeep Sangha: That makes sense. Let me do that. Let me do things differently.

Bill Simpson: You have the proof, and they wanna see the proof. Yeah.

Purdeep Sangha: Yes. Yeah. The facts and the figures and the proof. Yep.

Bill Simpson: Yeah. And so part of what I'm hearing you saying, Pradeep, is not just completion, but it's it's balanced. It's a sense of balance.

Purdeep Sangha: Yeah. It's it's completion, but it's also so the interesting part here is the the whole thought of the complete man is a continuous journey. That's what it is. It's never ending. It's never the interesting part of the irony of is that is you're never complete.

Bill Simpson: Right.

Purdeep Sangha: And but it it starts from within. It's something that my grandfather taught me. It's part of our heritage and religious background but I'm not very religious. He taught me more around the philosophy at Ahmed, but sikhism is the religion, and and that's, in an area of Punjab in India. And you'll see people wearing turbans, typically.

Bill Simpson: Right.

Purdeep Sangha: And the whole word, sick means to learn to be a disciple of. And so that's the whole purpose of life is to continuously learn and continuously grow as an individual internally. So that's a core part of the teaching of of the complete man. Is it's a constant journey and focusing on the inside rather than the external circumstances. And that's how we get men to really step up their performance because they're not influenced as much by the general factors when it comes to the work that we do.

Purdeep Sangha: But the complete man is, a compilation of all my learnings and our scientific research and our psychological research and experience because we've worked with 100 of men that research with thousands of men to really bring home what actually works. And in a lot of cases, it doesn't work for men.

Bill Simpson: So where where do you see are the are the main issues that men come to you for?

Purdeep Sangha: This is the interesting part because I started with business. So that was the first you can say doorway that I opened when I left the corporate world. I'm an entrepreneur by trade, so we have businesses in different sectors, but I also wanted to help other entrepreneurs

Bill Simpson: And

Purdeep Sangha: I wanted to focus on business. I did not honestly wanna focus on the personal side because I didn't wanna go into the realm of life coaching or that type of stereotype.

Bill Simpson: Right.

Purdeep Sangha: But doors just kept opening every time we would have a conversation with men about growing their business, 75% of the conversation would go over towards their personal lives and their personal performance. Mhmm. And so it took me a while, but I finally said, okay, I get the point. Because that was something that I focused on at a very early on, and I can share that a little bit later. But now when we were helping men on the personal side, their business performance started to go up significantly faster.

Bill Simpson: Wow.

Purdeep Sangha: So most men in All honesty come to us because they wanna grow their business or they wanna excel in their career, or they just wanna make more money. That's, I would say, about 85 to 90% of men come to us for that. What happens after the scenes is we start working in all the other stuff. So having that direct message of, hey, perhaps you wanna take a look at your personal performance or your fulfillment or your relationship, all that kind of stuff doesn't work as well with men, unless things are completely falling apart. And even when they are falling apart, here's what I've seen the pattern with Mint is they will come and they say they will need help with this particular area, for example, their relationship.

Purdeep Sangha: And they only come when it's going bad.

Bill Simpson: Like a crisis. Right?

Purdeep Sangha: Yep. Yeah. A crisis. Yep. And what ends up happening, though, is when that crisis becomes bearable, Meaning that it's okay again at a somewhat of a satisfactory level, they will bail.

Bill Simpson: Right. I find that my own experience as a relationship coach. Yes. They they get to that certain level, then they think, okay. I'm done.

Purdeep Sangha: Yeah. Yeah. And so what ends up happening is they they go into that either the pendulum or the ups and downs of that pattern of behavior and they continue on. And we we learned this a hard way at the beginning as men came in worked with us for a certain period of time would drop out. We'd be like, what's going on here?

Purdeep Sangha: It's because perhaps they started to stop fighting with their wife, either because they change things a little bit or the wife changed things slightly, and then things would get better for a couple of months. But then things would get worse again when they come back. And so we found men can be very interesting that from that perspective is they try to do things alone many of the times.

Bill Simpson: Right.

Purdeep Sangha: And That can end up biting them in the butts. Well, I I guess quite often.

Bill Simpson: Yeah. When you were talking about them, you know, men coming to you for the business piece and kind of covering that first before they get into the personal stuff. I had a guess that she's a an image and dating coach for men, especially in midlife. And it is very similar. It started out just getting his style right and getting the external so she would work from the outside and then go in.

Bill Simpson: And I hear you kind of saying the same thing.

Purdeep Sangha: Yeah. That's exactly it because most men will not open up unless we have created that environment to be able to have not just a safe environment, but where they realize that all these personal factors impact them and all areas of life. So what your previous question about balance, we talk about balance, but we also talk about harmony. That harmony is so critical, and that's where guys, I think, are are challenged the most, is they're aiming for balance, but they're not necessarily getting the harmony that they're looking for.

Bill Simpson: Yeah. I say that a lot with, I'm a mind body educator and integrative therapy practitioner at a health clinic. And my approach to wellness is body mind emotion and spirit And when those are working in harmony versus balance, you know, that even if things aren't going our way, we're still living a pretty vital life.

Purdeep Sangha: Yes. Exactly. That whole alignment piece is very powerful from an energetic perspective.

Bill Simpson: So take us through the process if a man, you know, wanted to come to you I know you've touched on it a little bit, but a little bit more specific about the process that he would go through.

Purdeep Sangha: It really depends on the avenue because We have very specific type of programs. So some men come in and they have a challenge with their relationship. So then we will see if we are equipped, for example, in our methodologies to help them be better leaders as a husband. A better leader as a husband, not necessarily fix their relationship problems. We have people on our extended team who are therapists

Bill Simpson: Mhmm.

Purdeep Sangha: Relation shift therapists that they perhaps do need to sit down and go deeper, or maybe there's some trauma that's involved, but we talk about how to show up with strength and power and understand where they are actually empowered in life rather than disempowered.

Bill Simpson: Can you give me an example of that?

Purdeep Sangha: Yeah. I'll give you a prime example in terms of, for example, what is their identity? And the difference between identity, who they are at a soul level and where the ego comes in as well. So just by explaining and at most, I would say a lot of men are not in touch with their soul. And so when ends up happening, I'll give you a prime example.

Purdeep Sangha: One of the first examples are exercises that we get men to do is we will either facilitate a session or them to go away where they are gone for a minimum of 1 night, ideally 2 to 3 nights where we have a whole process identified where they identify what their vision is for their life. But part of that exercise is also peeling back the layers of saying, if I had no responsibilities and my roles were not this, what would I want my life to be like? 

And I'll give I'll be more clear on this. If I was not a husband or taking that part away, if I was not a father, taking that part away, or my responsibilities as a father and husband, and then identifying who you are at the true core. And this this can take a while for some men because it's not always evident because who we are as individuals, as you know, is, layers of social pressure, for example, or layers of our role layers of our past experiences, all these different things, and then we come up with who we believe we are.

And if you ask many men from our experience, Who are you at the true court? It's hard for them to express that because it comes down to the roles that they have rather than who they are.

Bill Simpson: Yeah. We're so conditioned to It's my profession. That's who I am, or I am a husband. You know, yeah, we're so conditioned to do that.

Purdeep Sangha: And so by taking them through this exercise, It's unwinding and taking away all those different layers. Those layers are there. They need to be there, but they come on after once you have clarity around what you truly want in life. And so by saying, what do I truly want? From my life without any social pressures or even self pressures that I put on myself based on my roles and responsibilities.

Purdeep Sangha: What do I want? By getting touch with that, then we are able to create more alignment by saying, okay. So how does being a father fit in with that? How does being a husband fit in with that? How does being a CEO fit in with that?

Purdeep Sangha: And then creating that greater clarity from the vision, and then we also take a look at from the vision, we create very clear goals because our brain is a goal driven organ. And a lot of us talk about having goals, but a lot of us don't understand how to write effective goals because there's key aspects of goal setting that are actually very critical to be able to create more energy drive motivation what we call inspiration to be able to achieve those goals. And so we take them through that process. We are very, I would say, goal focused and performance focused. Two reasons why because we find goal focus works very well.

Purdeep Sangha: There's a scientific backing behind that. But also performance because when you talk about performance with men, they can get behind that. Right. They can get behind. I wanna perform better as a business leader. I wanna perform better as a husband. I wanna perform better as a father. Yeah. Because there's an element of action. And and growth.  And so that's where we come in is we're very much a performance driven organization But we are a lot of a fulfillment as well. Perf so performance and fulfillment.

Bill Simpson: That's a great approach. And part of what I'm hearing you say pretty is when you peel away those other layers of their roles that you're really kind of honing in on their values, like what's really important what matters to them. Right?

Purdeep Sangha: Oh, there's, yeah, there's a whole bunch of layers. There's their identity. There's their values. There's their belief systems. There's a the stories that they tell themselves, their personality traits, their character.  So we basically take a look at all those layers. And actually by making them aware of those layers is very powerful to help them identify. I'll give you another example.

Bill Simpson: Sure.

Purdeep Sangha: We tend to give people a pass, whether that's other people or even ourselves because we believe that's our personality or personality traits. Right? And not differentiating, there's a between personality traits, someone's perhaps innate behavior and their character. And by saying there is a conscious and controllable way of actually behaving based on character, you can actually override your personality traits. And people need to, I think, in particularly men, men need to understand that.

Purdeep Sangha: Because it's extremely powerful. We've worked with a lot of men that have come out of rehab, for example, because in rehab, it's great. But it's hard to go back to regular life after we have. Like, how do you actually go back to regular life and live like that? Yeah.

Purdeep Sangha: So we end up actually not doing the rehab part, but how do you get back into life and feel good and perform better and deal with all those situations when especially when you're going back into the same environment. But one of the key things that we found worked out very well is getting them to understand that you don't have to behave this way because a lot of people think that they're stuck in a certain behavior. That's who I am or that's how is my genetic predisposition. So awareness has a big part to play in this, and getting them to understand those different things. What is a belief What is a story?

Purdeep Sangha: What is your identity? What is ego? And when they can understand these different aspects, they they're it's easier for them to put it all in place. When they start to behave a certain way, they can say, oh, that's my ego or that's my identity. Right.
Or that's my character trait, or maybe I'm making a decision based on my value. So it's educating them and getting them to understand these different layers of being a human being.

Bill Simpson: Yeah. And I think of of as a coach, and I explained this to my clients, you know, that the way the brain works we may have all this theory. We may know all this stuff or think we know it yet. We have to practice it. And so they go out and they do it for a little bit, and then they pick a step back.  And they're like, well, see, all this stuff doesn't work. This time, who I ain't blah blah blah. And they give up. And I'm like, no. It's just a step back.  And you can take another step forward. But so many times, they they're just if they take that step back, they think it doesn't work, and then they're they're done.

Purdeep Sangha: Where'd they go? Yeah. Yeah. And I think that's why inner reflection and awareness is so important. Because when it becomes an exercise of inner reflection and awareness, there's always an element of growth.  Always. Always. I I can't, like, I can't share enough where almost every hour I have an moment. Like, there's like, okay. That's what I did.  That's my behavior. Okay. I understand why, or I could have done that differently. And it becomes fun. It becomes a game. No longer about, oh, I made a mistake. It's about what did I learn as a result of that.

Bill Simpson: Yeah. And I see a lot of freedom in that, you know, liberation in that that you're not being so hard on yourself for every little thing. You know, it's just opening up to another growth moment or whatever. Right?

Purdeep Sangha: Yeah. And and men, as you know, can be tough on themselves.

Bill Simpson: Yeah.

Purdeep Sangha: Absolutely. And I think all human beings are like this. We're tougher on ourselves and anybody else, but particularly as men, because we've we have that inside about this. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. There's a prose to the vascular energy, but there's also, you know, when you push yourself past in terms of over extending that energy, there's also a dark side to that as well.  And that can be one of it being overly critical.

Bill Simpson:   I did a whole episode on self compassion, and that's big at it. And I really didn't I mean, I kinda knew about it You know, yeah, I see I hear you out of self compassion, whatever, but I really dug deep and did some work around it. And it absolutely changed my whole perspective of myself and how it was in the world. And we just don't have people to role model that for us, and we have to learn it.  And it's not easy. It's hard not to be hard on yourself. And I still find myself, you know, catching myself being hard on myself, after, what, 9 years of learning about this. You know? And so it is a process, and it takes time.

Purdeep Sangha: Yeah. Well, you just talked about self compassion is so, again, so important. Compassion is one of those things. It's from my perspective, it's the next layer of empathy And so we, I don't think, have empathy enough for other people and compassion for enough, for other people. And definitely for ourselves, I think this all along with, compassion, self compassion, their self love.

Bill Simpson: Right.

Purdeep Sangha: And that part, I think, is severely missing for men. Because the vast majority of men from our experience in our circle are men that will put themselves their lives on the line for their family members. They're doing everything for their family members. And a lot of them don't do enough for themselves. And so they've been taught.

Purdeep Sangha: You gotta suffer. You gotta struggle, you gotta you gotta put up with things, but there's a difference between putting up with something and loving yourself. Because I see a lot of men tolerating behavior, so self sabotage behavior, or even behavior from people that they're accepting from other people. It could be from their spouse. It could be from their kids or whatever that is.

Purdeep Sangha: Especially in today's age, we are training men to take on a lot of, I'm gonna say, unnecessary. I don't wanna use the word abuse, but behavior from other people just because we're men and we're supposed to be able to put up with Right. And there there's a lot of men bashing happening right now. A lot of masculinity bashing. Yeah.

Purdeep Sangha: And that's not appropriate. And and and I think that's the other biggest challenge right now, Bill, that's happening in society, and there's more awareness around this. Now this whole thing about masculinity is bad. Toxic masculinity, all this whole thing that's been happening particularly in the last 5 years. And I think a lot of people are have caught on to it now.

Purdeep Sangha: There's a lot of women now saying, okay, enough is enough. But we're we are teaching the next generation that It's not okay to be masculine. And then that's why I say I would say even my generation. So I'm in my forties, and I tell my peers. I tell all my god buddies.

Purdeep Sangha: I tell all men that I work with because I'm seeing a big difference, even in men in the thirties, that we are, like, the last line of defense right now for masculinity. Yeah. Because the kids that are younger, my son is ten years old, they are not being pot outside of the home. That masculinity is a good thing. They're being taught the complete opposite.  And so we have a lot of work to do as mentors and as men as fathers, especially with this next generation.

Bill Simpson: Yeah. And I've talked a lot about toxic masculinity. We've gotten a bum rap over a lot of the masculinity stuff. And it's really embracing embracing our masculinity and not giving it up in order to fit some sort of mold, And I I had a guest that was saying, you know, back in the eighties, and this was more my generation, there was a men's movement. And there was positivity around the toxic masculinity in a in a way that was uplifting for men that really didn't take off.

Bill Simpson: And it wasn't until, like, the me too movement that this surfaced as this bad thing that men are bad and, you know, and we started getting bashed. So, you know, there's still a long way to go to to kind of balance that out as well.

Purdeep Sangha: Oh, definitely. I'm not saying that men are off the hook in terms of No. Way that we've bathed. I have this concept or terminology that we we work with men on. It's called being mindful alpha male because it is very important, and I've seen it work.

Purdeep Sangha: I've seen it work with men when I grew up with so the alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, which is basically the beginning and the origin. And I'm a firm believer that every man should be the creator of his or his destiny. Definitely.

Bill Simpson: Sure.

Purdeep Sangha: And so we're either a creator or a follower. That's basically how life works. And It's important because or our families, our families need leaders. They need a leader. They are looking our children are looking towards that.

Purdeep Sangha: Even women are looking towards their husbands to take leadership, and that's very, very important. And if we don't take leadership and we don't create our desk and we're stuck with the circumstances that are given to us. So being an alpha male, it has been completely misconstrued by society. And part of that is also men who are alpha males, but they're not mindful.

Bill Simpson: Right. That's it.

Purdeep Sangha: That is the other aspect. Yeah. And the mindfulness part is the balancing of the the alpha male side, which is it comes from, again, from where I've gathered this is from the Buddhist principles of they talk about how when making a decision, think of as if whatever decision you're going to make, whatever action you're going to take, is going to have a ripple effect throughout the universe and potentially for generations to come.

Bill Simpson: Mhmm. Yeah.

Purdeep Sangha: But also take it lightheartedly and be somewhat comical with yourself that's actually going to have an impact. So basically, be aware and mindful of everything, but don't take it so seriously. Right.

Bill Simpson: I was gonna say, don't take yourself so seriously with it all. Yeah.

Purdeep Sangha: Yeah. So there's that part, and that's something that my grandfather taught me, because my grandfather, I would say, was in that blend between Marcus Aurelius and someone like the Dalai Lama. Right? So it was kind of a in between of both worlds. He came from a world of war, but it was also a very spiritual man.

Purdeep Sangha: And so I learned that. And that's kind of the court because I used to see how he would behave, how he would interact his levels, respect that he would get from community. He was never bothered by anything. And his sheer, commitment to in in terms of his meditation and practices from that than being a good man was, I would say, an impetus of where I started to grow this concept of the complete man and the mindful alphabet.

Bill Simpson: And it sounds like he had quite an impact on you.

Purdeep Sangha: Oh, phenomenal impact. I would say that probably the biggest outside of my dad You know, my dad, my grandfather, were the biggest figures. I think in a lot of men's cases or boys cases impacted my life, both on the positive side, but also on the learning side, had my dad not have the challenges that he had. I wouldn't have the skills that I have.

Bill Simpson: Right. You wouldn't have that awareness either.

Purdeep Sangha: Yep. Yep. Absolutely.

Bill Simpson: Well, pretty, any I mean, I feel like you and I could talk all day. I just wanna check-in with you to see if there's anything else you'd like to share before we wrap things up?

Purdeep Sangha: Well, I think for men out there, I think it's great to continue to be aligned with yourself. I think that's the one thing that you need to do better at. And what I mean by that is what is our natural nature? Like, who Are we on the inside?
