We're all familiar with the Warrior Archetype. Many men listening to this podcast embody what it means to be a warrior. But if we are exclusively warriors in our approach to life, we can easily overlook the more gentle, meeker virtues that make us well-rounded men. My guest today is a man intimately familiar with the balance between the lion and the lamb, the warrior and the poet. His name is John Lovell and he is the author of The Warrior Poet Way: A Guide to Living Free and Dying Well. Today, John and I talk about striking the balance between both, how we're neither exclusively warrior or exclusively poet, how to become not just dangerous in the physical realm but also dangerous in our virtue, how humility heals everything, overcoming a crisis of identity, and why if there is nothing to protect there is no need for men, and the proper time and place for displaying vulnerability. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: The concept of the warrior poet We are lacking both warriors and poets in society Jesus is the eternal warrior and poet Evil people pulling the political strings Everything has become a "political" issue Being influenced by Artificial Intelligence Pride poisons everything, humility heals everything Humility is a source of strength Building strength through suffering Truth is narrow and exclusive Battle Planners are back in stock.

We're all tempted, at times, to cut corners, to take the path of least resistance, and to do work less than we're capable of doing. It's easy to do in this easily distracted, overly-stimulated environment we all operate in. My guest today, former Navy SEAL, Remi Adeleke is a prime example of doing work right despite our desire to take the easy route. Author of his latest book, Chameleon, Hollywood director and consultant, and TV reality show star, Remi knows what he wants, what he doesn't, and how to pursue everything with an eye towards exceptionalism and mastery. Today, we talk about not becoming a "one-note guy," getting over Fear of Missing Out when declining opportunities, why writing is one of the best ways to articulate your thoughts, why it's a mistake to write off the success of others, and timeless advice he learned from his mom like the mantra, "Whatever you do, do it right."

Every one of us has experienced trauma of some sort in our lives. Some more challenging scenarios than others. But it does no good to compare our own circumstances with others, only what those who seem to be able to manage and work past the difficulties of life can teach us. Combat Rescue Helicopter Pilot, Lt. Colonel Brian Slade joins me on today to talk about strategies he's learned and developed for overcoming some of the worst scenarios he and others have overcome in their lives. We discuss the concept of "chair flying" as a method for anticipating and preparing for traumatic events, the difference between those who adapt to challenge and those who don't, why we as men need to wrap our heads around "operating in the ugly," overcoming festering emotional wounds, and how to triumph over trauma. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: "Just get over it" its not great advice Stress inoculation and "chair flying" Gratitude and perspective Don't mistake the gunfight (finite) for the mountains (infinite) Perspective creates your reality Always have an honorable mission The only way out is through Membership in the Iron Council is currently open for a limited time.

Child sex trafficking literally permeates every corner of the globe. It's despicable, it's nasty, and it's a growing trend, even in 2023.

His name is Tim Ballard and he is the founder of Operation Underground Railroad which exists to rescue children from dangerous and despicable sex rings. Today, we talk about what a truly compassionate border policy would look like, the hyper-sexualization of the world and the degeneracy it leads to, how unintended policy incentives often make problems worse, why evil lurks behind the concept of tolerance, and his latest film uncovering the underground child sex trade, Sound of Freedom.

Trust is something all of us know we need to build in order to have influence with those we love and whom we're called to lead.

"I'm babysitting my kids," is likely something a lot of you fathers have used as an excuse or reason not to do something else. I know I certainly have. But we don't really babysit, do we.

My guest today, Nate Feathers, makes the case against "babysitting our children," and, instead, shows fathers a better way to approach the relationship between father and son or daughter. Today, we talk about kids mimicking our behavior, the changes in culture with regards to fatherhood, how to bond effectively with newborns, toddlers, and teens, learning to let go of your children, how to keep the relationship (and sex life) with your wife thriving, and why it's not accurate to assume that you're ever "babysitting" your children.

The mid-life crisis. It's something we've all heard about. Many men have likely experienced it. Typically, the midlife crisis is associated with driving around a sports car from your childhood and trying to land women 10-15 years your younger.

All of us have heard from men who wonder if it's too late to start in life. Many of them believe they may have missed the one shot they had to make something of themselves, or they've "wasted" too much of their lives. My guest today, Founder of Not Dead Yet, Matthew Vincent, makes the case that it's never too late to start as long as there is air in your lungs and blood pumping through your heart. Today, we have an extremely fascinating discussion on so many different topics including several we don't see eye to eye on. Specifically, we talk about the scarcity vs. abundant mindset, the value of hate and love, the dangers in the "hedonic treadmill," connecting with others as a powerful motive for overcoming destructive behavior, and the immense liberty found in becoming completely aware of yourself. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Hating yourself vs. loving yourself We don't pick our starting point Pleasure vs. fulfillment and the hedonic treadmill Appreciating the ability to choose our passions People are the solution and the problem Shared responsibility in understanding communication Using and understanding psychedelics Knowing how to use substances as tools to serve you Need to program time to relax Body dysmorphia and transgenderism We need to be able to question things We are responsible for what we expose ourselves to We need to be intentional with how we spend our energy Battle Planners are back in stock.

I think we can all agree that dating isn't what it used to be even 20 years ago. With the rise of hook-up culture, extreme feminism, woke ideology, and a general increase in degeneracy today, it can feel impossible at times to find the right woman, let alone start a relationship with her. My guest today is David Meessen, a dating coach for men, who has helped hundreds of men overcome confidence issues, improve communication, and attract high-value women. Today, David and I talk about the rise in resentment towards women (and how that doesn't help your cause), why your intent is more important than your tactics when approaching women, how to become verbally agile, showing proof of who you are over your promises, why needs not being met is the single greatest factor in emotional insecurity, and whether it's better to win over her brain or her heart. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Why dating has gotten MORE difficult Why are many guys afraid to approach beautiful women? Most men care too much and hinder their own self-expression You can't just talk to the best looking women Dating advice for introverts The scientific difference between introverts and extroverts We need to be diligent and patient when choosing our partner You have to be able to disagree with attractive women The importance of finding someone who is aligned with your most important values Knowing when it is better to separate Some women want a kiss on the first date Men need to communicate their personality effectively on the first date Determine incompatibility as quickly as possible Dating is not a "negotiation" Battle Planners are back in stock.

Failure, setbacks, f-ups, and mess ups are all part of life. It's just part of the human condition. When most people fail, they choose to stay there. But in failure, there is a redemption story in the works…if you're willing to make it happen. My guest today is intimately familiar with failing and getting back in the fight – both literally and figuratively. His name is George Foreman and everyone is likely familiar with him from being heavyweight champion of the world (twice) to his infamous George Foreman Grill. You may not know the rest of the story. Today, George and I talk about the comeback story, his near-death experience and how it changed him, serving in your community and giving others hope, and making the most of second chances.

We've all heard of Stoicism. But do we really know what it means, how to implement in our lives, and whether or not it conflicts with other doctrine we may ascribe to – mainly Christianity. My guest today, Brady Pesola, and I strive to answer those questions as we discuss the four cardinal virtues of Stoicism – wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance. We also unpack what Stoicism really means (and, contrary to popular belief, it is not the suppression of emotions), how philosophy is the "love of wisdom," why anxiety is not inherently bad, the power in knowing that others are allowed to feel the way they do, and, ultimately, going to bed a better man than you woke up. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: The concept of accountability Accountability with your spouse Anxious vs. avoidant Doing the right thing Stoicism and christianity Put your mind in "reason" Intellectual intent Sometimes we misread situations The importance of context Reason and faith Overcoming the dumb things we say Stoicism and the Bible Listening to the philosophy of others Get your signed copy of Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

With the proliferation of political and cultural ideologies increasingly permeating many of our favorite companies and brands, it's becoming difficult to justify spending our hard-earned dollars on companies that do not align with our values and actively work against them. But you know as well as I do, boycotting only goes so far and, as soon as the excitement and fervor against these companies wear off, most people go back to spending their money on Budweiser, Disney, Gillette, and Netflix to name a few. My guests today, Nicky Billou and Wayne Allyn Root make the case that not only should people boycott these organizations but create alternatives to compete with these companies and hit them where it hurts – their wallet. Today, we talk about racism and the flawed idea of "reverse racism," something they call, the "Freedom Scale," for evaluating organizations that align with conservative values, the line between liberalism and leftism, and the power of parallel economies. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: "Reverse racism" is just "racism" We can no longer not stand up Are we just preaching to the choir Understanding the concept of a "national divorce" Liberal democrat cities are falling apart Building a parallel economy Chinese interference in elections Breaking down the "Freedom Scale" Companies caving to liberal pressure Get your signed copy of Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

We all have standards but for most of us, our standards aren't where they should be and/or they're not the type of standards that will lead us toward becoming the type of men we have desire to be. And, yet, each and every day, we operate by these standards most of which is subconscious. My guest today is an incredible performance coach and while that term gets tossed around a lot these days, Ben Newman is the real deal. In fact, he coaches many Fortune 500 companies, is one of the top 50 public speakers in the world, and has helped lead many college and professional athletes to multiple championships. Today, Ben and I talk about why it's important you know you're setting an example to people, how to find what he calls, your "burn," grabbing your future and bringing it into today, why "your why" is not enough, how to avoid being seduced by success, and, ultimately, how to elevate your standard. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Why do we make excuses? We tend to overlook the simple things Be your best one day at a time The importance of coaching You have to do the work if you want to see change The way you do one thing is the way you do everything Be prepared to attack the process Don't be seduced by success Identifying the right standards Become disciplined, even when you cheat Get your signed copy of Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

Every single one of us has genius inside of us – some lying dormant for years and even decades. And, with our greatest potential trapped deep beneath the surface of our day-to-day lives, we live as Thoreau famously said, "quiet lives of desperation." I know from personal experience how difficult and deflating that can be. My guest today, former rocket scientist and law professor, Ozan Varol, is on the podcast today to talk about how to unlock and awaken the genius buried deep within ourselves. We also talk about the power of going what he refers to as "off-menu," finding more awe in our lives, the death or our former selves and the birth of a new man, why we all need to exercise a bit more skeptical curiosity, and how to become extraordinary men. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Leaving a tenured position in academia If you don't like the available options, create a new one Know when its time to change course Most people don't know what they want What served us well in the past won't necessarily serve us well in the future Don't get stuck in the self-reflection process Learning from failures Don't compare your beginning to someone else's end The importance of your inner journey Identifying what makes you unique For more information on the Iron Council brotherhood.

You already know everything you need to know to achieve your wildest dreams, or at least get on the path to making them a reality. The only question that remains is whether or not you'll do it. And, that's a question that has been plaguing millions of men for a very long time – "Will I do what is required to achieve my desires?" My guest today, former NBA player and current NBA mindset coach, David Nurse, has made a life out of teaching elite-level athletes, execs, and high-achievers how to move from knowing to doing. Today, David and I talk about hidden roadblocks that keep us from success, the 9 different action archetypes and how to move past what keeps you back, the formula for your own success mission, finding intrinsic value in the work you do, why he considers, "the masses to be the asses," how to use negative thoughts to your advantage, and the life-changing power of taking action. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Where to start on the path to taking action We live in an excuse laden society Uncertainty is an opportunity Find your niche to stand out Focus on the process, not the result How does one become "driven" Being content AND ambitious Alignment with God We take care of the things we value Being comfortable in your own skin For more information on the Iron Council brotherhood.
