In today’s episode, we have a unique and inspiring guest joining us, someone who’s not just a barber but also a passionate story collector. Let’s introduce you to Tate Yohe, the owner/barber of Neibert’s Barbershop in Mechanicsburg, PA.

Brief Bio Introduction:
Tate Yohe’s journey as a barber is more than just about cutting hair; it’s about building connections and preserving stories. He owns and operates Neibert’s Barbershop in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, where he’s created something truly special.
Drawing from his 14 years of experience in emergency services, Tate initially hung his patch and badge on the wall as a tribute to his past. This simple act led to the creation of a unique “patch wall.”
Former colleagues from his time in emergency services and military clients started coming in for haircuts and adding their patches to the wall. What emerged was a tapestry of stories—stories from the front lines, deployments, moments of triumph, and even moments of loss.
Tate recognized the power of these stories and the need to share them with a broader audience. Thus, he embarked on a mission to bring you inside the barbershop and offer a glimpse into the lives of the individuals whose patches adorn the shop’s walls.

Testicular Fortitude means having deep seated masculine courage and strength. Balls. Guts. Manlihood.
Testicular Fortitude on the Manlihood ManCast is where we take a look at men who have beat the odds, men whose courage has left a lasting legacy.
Patton was born into a wealthy family in San Gabriel, California in 1885. As a child, he had difficulty with spelling and reading, which later led historians to speculate that he suffered from dyslexia. Despite his struggles, Patton became an avid reader and developed a passion for military history. He attended the Virginia Military Institute and then transferred to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he repeated his freshman year due to poor grades. However, Patton improved his academic performance and graduated in June 1909, becoming a commissioned second lieutenant in the cavalry.
Patton’s courage was first tested when he saw his first combat after leaving Fort Riley. In 1916, Pancho Villa led an attack on Columbus, New Mexico, and Patton joined the staff of Brig. Gen. John J. Pershing in the ensuing punitive expedition into Mexico. While the mission failed to capture Villa, Patton led a raid that killed three of Villa’s men, which received much publicity and was notable for being the first time automobiles were used in combat by the US Army.
Patton’s courage was again put to the test during World War I. When the US entered the war, Patton joined the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) in France, where he was appointed as the first officer to the newly formed US Army Tank Corps. Patton trained, organized, and even designed the uniforms for the new tank units. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel and later became the temporary colonel, leading the first US tank units into battle during the Saint-Mihiel offensive.
Despite being badly wounded by a machine-gun bullet in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, Patton refused to be taken to the hospital until he had reported to his commander, showing incredible bravery under fire. His bravery earned him the Distinguished Service Cross.
In the years that followed World War I, Patton continued to be a proponent of tank warfare. During World War II, he was promoted to temporary major general and made the commander of the 2nd Armored Division. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Patton organized the Desert Training Center to simulate combat and maneuvers in the harsh North African climate.
Patton’s strict discipline, toughness, and self-sacrifice elicited exceptional pride within his ranks, and he was referred to as “Old Blood-and-Guts” by his men. Despite controversies due to his brash actions and mercurial temper, Patton’s bravery and testicular fortitude made him one of the greatest military commanders in history. His legacy lives on as an inspiration to all those who admire and value true courage and bravery.
When Henry Darlington and Gerald Mygatt assembled and published the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Prayer Book in 1944, they requested many of our nation’s leaders to contribute a written prayer.
Patton submitted a prayer for courage.
I find it interesting, because our picture of Patton’s courage seems to be innate… something he possessed and owned, but if this prayer is to be taken seriously, Patton’s unwavering courage was not drummed up from within, but rather bestowed upon him.
God of our Fathers, who by land and sea has ever led us to victory, please continue Your inspiring guidance in this the greatest of our conflicts.
Strengthen my soul so that the weakening instinct of self-preservation, which besets all of us in battle, shall not blind me to my duty to my own manhood, to the glory of my calling, and to my responsibility to my fellow soldiers.
Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which ensures success in war.
Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived.
If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a man-ner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, O Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind.
Give us the victory, Lord. Amen.

In today’s episode, we have the honor of hosting an extraordinary guest who has dedicated his life to empowering men and helping them transform not just their bodies but their minds as well. Let’s dive into the story of Josh Holyfield.
Who is Josh Holyfield
Josh Holyfield is a man with a remarkable journey that encompasses service, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to empowering others. He is an Army Veteran with over 15 years of experience in deploying and supporting the US Army and Special Operations. His journey into the world of fitness and well-being began in 2005 when he embarked on a weightlifting journey. Simultaneously, he started studying exercise science and nutrition as a personal hobby.
Fitness became more than just a hobby for Josh; it became a lifeline. He used it as a powerful tool to overcome the mental and emotional challenges of serving in the military during combat deployments and, eventually, transitioning into civilian life.
For over a decade after his military service, Josh worked as a federal contractor and federal employee, serving global Special Operations Forces (SOF) operations. In 2019, he took a monumental step and initiated “The Josh Holyfield Project.” Since its inception, this project has impacted the lives of over 40,000 men, equipping them with the tools and resources necessary to transform both their bodies and minds. What sets Josh apart is his approach, which focuses on creating sustainable habits rather than short-term results.
In early 2021, Josh made a bold decision to walk away from his secure federal position, fully dedicating himself to helping men all over the world by offering programming and coaching designed to unleash their full potential.
But Josh’s journey doesn’t stop there. Since 2017, he has achieved significant success by building and scaling two 7-figure online businesses. Furthermore, he works privately with entrepreneurs and advertisers to assist in building and scaling e-commerce and service-based businesses.

Winston Churchill: A Man of Courage and Wisdom:
Churchill was born on November 30, 1874, into an aristocratic British family. He had a remarkable political career, serving as a soldier, war correspondent, and statesman. His courage and wisdom were evident from a young age when he joined the British Army, seeing action in India and the Sudan. Churchill’s resilience and determination were on full display during World War II when he served as Britain’s Prime Minister. His stirring speeches and steadfast leadership rallied his nation during its darkest hours, earning him the title ‘The Bulldog of Britain.’
Quotes from Winston Churchill
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
“We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out.”
“You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.”
“We sleep safely at night because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would harm us.”
“When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber.”
“All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope”
“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.”
“If you are going through hell, keep going.”
“My tastes are simple: I am easily satisfied with the best.”
“History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.”
“Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”
“Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.”
“I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.”
“It is not enough that we do our best; sometimes we must do what is required.”
“For myself I am an optimist – it does not seem to be much use to be anything else.”
“The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.”
“A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.”
“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”
“The price of greatness is responsibility.”
“Personally, I’m always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.”
“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”
“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”
“To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.”
“To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.”
“Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people’s idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.”
“Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
“Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.”
“Don’t interrupt me while I’m interrupting.”
As we wrap up this episode of ‘Manly Chunks of Wisdom’ featuring the quotes of Winston Churchill, we’re reminded of the enduring courage, wisdom, and determination of this remarkable man.

In this episode of TESTICULAR FORTITUDE on the Manlihood ManCast, We’ll learn about Galvarino – A Mapuche Warrior who lost his hands as punishment from the Spanish Conquistadors.

You might remember the movie “Edward Scissorhands” – and that story about a family trying to help a boy with scissors on his fingers feel normal and accepted is quite absurd, it’s clearly fiction, and no earthly good to anyone.
What if I told you that there is a story of a warrior with swords for hands that fought bravely against a conquering force for freedom?
In the 1500’s, the Mapuche Tribes lived in Chile and Argentina. The Spanish Conquistadors were doing what Spanish Conquistadors did, expanding the power of the Spanish Empire, conquering as much land as they could, raping, murdering and stealing the people and the land in South America.
The Mapuche united to fight against spanish governor Carcia Hurtado De Mendoza, and their native weaponry and tactics were no match for the firepower and strength of the Spaniards.
At the of Lagunillas, more than 150 warriors were captured. The invaders decided the best way to send a message to the tribes people that they needed to submit to the rule of Spain was to chop off their right hands and noses of some of these warriors. Several tribal leaders, and a man they called Galvarino were ordered to lose both hands.
Galvarino lost both hands on the chopping block without flinching.
The prisoners of war were supposed to cause the natives to shrink in fear and trembling, keeping any future rebellions at bay. But the spaniards underestimate the Mapuche.
Galvarino presented his wounds before his native general, and his cries for justice fueled an uprising. He was placed in command of a squadron of fighters.
Knives were fashioned to fit Galvarino’s mutilated wrists, and he then essentially became a fighter with knives for hands. Some historians described the appendages as large as lances.
He led his troop of fighters alongside Mapuche general Caupolican through several battles, and at the Battle of Millarapue, he fought against the very spaniard who had previously bested him and ordered his mutilation.
Spanish historian Jerónimo de Vivar wrote in Crónica:
He came commanding as a sergeant and animating his men this way: “Ea, my brothers, see that you all fight very well, you do not want be as I am without hands, so that you will not be able to work nor to eat, if you do not give it to them!” And he raised those arms on high, showing them to cause them to fight with more spirit and saying to them: “Those that you are going to fight with cut them, and also will do to whichever of you they take, and nobody is allowed to flee but to die, because you die defending your mother country.” He moved ahead of the squadron a distance, and said with a loud voice that he would die first and though he no longer had hands, that he would do what he could with his teeth.
Pedro Mariño de Lobera chronicled the words of Galvirno saying,
“My Brothers, why have you stopped attacking these Christians, seeing the manifest damage that from the day which they entered our kingdom until today they have done and are doing? And they still will do to you what you see that they have done and they are doing? And still they will do to you what you see that they have done to me, cut your hands off, if you are not diligent in making the most of wreaking destruction on these so injurious people for us and or our children and women.”
The handless warrior faced off against the second in command of the spanish forces at the battle, and dispatched him without prejudice.
The Mapuche did not succeed in the battle, and 3,000 native fighters lost their lives.
Galvarino was captured, and ordered to be executed. Some said he was thrown to the dogs, others report he was hanged.
Galvarino’s resilience, determination, courage, and resistance against brutal oppressors is why he is featured today as a man with Testicular Fortitude.
