With as much craziness and violence we see in public these days, it's crucial that we as men learn how to effectively protect and defend ourselves and those we love.

We cover the concept of preparation versus paranoia, the default of awareness, when to get involved in situations and when not to, the "crawl, walk, run" theory, and recognizing and neutralizing threats before they occur.

Anytime you mention the word, "politics," you know you're in for a charged and polarizing conversation but it's crucial we talk more about politics and the policy that comes with it because it impacts every facet of our lives. My guest today, Congressman Dan Crenshaw, joins me to talk about the key issues impacting culture and society today including a healthy approach to reaching across the aisle, why it's important for conservatives to have a voice in what we typically view as liberal issues, not only the far left but the far right – something he calls, "woke conservatism," the importance of humility and open-mindedness, and distinguishing between politics and policy.

All of us want to be happy and successful and, yet, for many of us it seems so far away or so hard, if not impossible, to obtain. But my guest today, the one and only Ed Mylett, makes the case in his newest book, The Power of One More, that what we ultimately desire is not all that far away at all but perhaps just one more decision, step, conversation, or action away. Today, Ed and I talk about how to develop that mindset, why being "rich" does not necessarily equal having money, the difference between confidence and arrogance, why it's crucial we identify our value systems, the power of equanimity, pursuing progress, and taking inventory of our lives. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Its easy for men to get discouraged Arrogance vs healthy confidence Don't attach your identify to the external Knowing the line between serving others and serving yourself Can anger serve us? Learning how to channel your emotions An awareness of a challenge helps it lose its power over you The ultimate confirmation does not come from a human being Pursuing progress, not perfection Reframe what it means to miss things with your kids Sometimes you need to be "creatively present" Join the Iron Council.

I think most of us believe there is a reason we're here on this planet. But I personally know how hard it can be to uncover and discover the reason that is. It seems daunting considering how easily we can become consumed with trivial matters and the distractions of modern culture and society. But my guest today, Eric Thomas (AKA, The Hip Hop Preacher), has been helping millions of people around the world ignite their power and purpose. Today, ET and I talk about overcoming the "passive boy," becoming more of who you are – not a clone of someone else, why you don't need the world to approve to succeed, the battle between the "two you's," and finding immense opportunity in crisis.

Most of us would like to believe that in a moment we are called to make a stand on our principles, we would do it without hesitation. But can we say for certain we would act in accordance with what we believe when confronted with the risk of social alienation, ostracization from our friends and family, potential loss of a job, and the financial insecurity that comes with it? That's exactly what my guest, NBA star Jonathan Isaac, had to deal with when he decided to stand for the National Anthem when all of his teammates took a knee during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement and the George Floyd case. Today, we talk about his decision to do so, why people place labels on and attempt to dehumanize others, facing your fears by walking with Christ, the power of social media and group think, and becoming bold as lions. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Choosing to make a stand Loving each other the way that God loves us Highly emotional situations require restraint Hypocrisy in the faith Racism is cured by a change in someones heart The message often gets lost in a protest When God's plan doesn't align with our plan Staying in your lane while being authentic to yourself Membership in the Iron Council will be opening soon.
