The Boy Crisis | DR. WARREN FARRELL Sep 04, 2018

Show notes

There is no question, our boys are in trouble. Take a look at any metric and it becomes painfully obvious that our young men are falling behind - violence, grades, drug abuse, and suicide to name a few. The questions is not, "Is it happening?" but, "Why?"

Today I am joined by Dr. Warren Farrell, a leader in understanding the issues our boys are facing. We talk about how men have fallen into a "purpose void," why boys need to be raised differently than girls, the rise of the Incels, and how to deal with the emerging boy crisis.

DR. WARREN FARRELL

My guest today is Dr. Warren Farrell.

He is a leader in the movement to understand the myriad of issues our young men are facing. Previously, a feminist and the only man to ever be elected three times to the National Organization for Women, he has since seen what the feminist movement has become and it's negative impact on our boys.

He's been selected as one of the world's top 100 thought leaders and has had numerous appearances on CNN, Lary King Live, Oprah, The Today Show, Good Morning America, New York Times, Forbes, and the Wall Street Journal.

The Softer Side of Violence | IAN STRIMBECK Aug 28, 2018

Show notes

Violence isn't a word a lot of people believe should be attributed to men and his responsibilities. We know that isn't true because we believe that the ability to violence is not only within us, it can be harnessed to keep ourselves and others protected from those who wish to do violence to us.

Today, I am joined by Marine Corps Veteran, Ian Strimbeck to talk about why every man should learn how to harness the darker side of masculinity. We cover so much in this podcast including harnessing effective verbalization skills, how to get better at predicting human behavior, the power of intuition and how to use it effectively, and how to develop and harness the softer side of violence.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

The difference between software and hardware when it comes to facing threats
Why every man needs to wrap his head around potential violence
How to avoid "target fixation"
How to develop and harness effective verbalization skills
How to get better at predicting human behavior
How the skills for violence are translatable to everyday life
Why we should learn to tap into our primal roots
The importance of humility in keeping yourself and other safe
Learning not to make yourself a target
The power of intuition and how to use it effectively
The four cues you should be aware of in others when looking for threats
How "profiling" can keep you alive
The correct priority of engagement
How to use appearance as a deterrent
Why establishing baseline behavior in others is so crucial

IAN STRIMBECK

My guest today is veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Ian Strimbeck.

Ian reached out a couple months ago and, as I was preparing for this conversation, I was extremely impressed by his resume as a veteran and warrior in not only the military but in the executive protection space.

He's taken what he has learned on the battlefield and now teaches those who want to be better protectors of themselves and the people they have a responsibility for.

This was such a fascinating discussion with an extremely fascinating man and I think, not only are you going to enjoy our conversation, you're going to walk away with some information that could just save your life.

179: How to Develop More Grit | Brian Call Aug 21, 2018

Show notes

We live in a culture of ultimate softness but there seems to be a resurgence of men who understand the value of being tough, resilient, and gritty. These are the men I aspire to be more like because I understand how crucial it is, as Theodore Roosevelt states, to "keep the barbarian virtues."

Today, I am joined by my friend, Brian Call, AKA Gritty, to talk about how hunting and connecting with nature makes you tougher, why we need to learn from the men who have gone before, the role parents play in developing fortitude in their children, and how you can develop more grit.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

How to get started in bow hunting How hunting makes you tougher Developing discipline through hobbies The dangers of being disconnected from your food How the mass of our meat gets processed Why eating meat is not unethical How hunting creates a wide range of emotional sorrow and joy Why you need to learn from men who have gone before How to keep calm in a potentially dangerous situation The role parents play in developing grit in their children The danger of the "outrage society" in which we live Why it's not a good idea to search for "happiness" How to overcome fear and weakness through exposure How minimalism helps you become free

BRIAN CALL

Gentlemen, today I have the honor of introducing you to my friend, Brian Call.

He is an avid bow hunter and the founder and host of the Gritty Podcast where he talks all things bowhunting and developing more grit.

I've been following him and his work for quite some time now and I finally had the chance to connect with him in this candid interview. What really resonates with me about Brian is his willingness to share not only his victories but his setbacks and how he's managed to overcome them.

I hope you enjoy this powerful conversation with a man I really admire and respect.

Patience is a Virtue, Passivity is Not | FRIDAY FIELD NOTES Aug 17, 2018

Show notes

One of my biggest struggles is patience. I think the same holds true for any high-achieving man. We tend to want the results immediately. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work that way. That, however, does not mean we need to sit back and simply wait for our goals to come to fruition. Today, I share six strategies for exercising patience while assertively working towards our objectives.

Show notes

There is so much to talk about in the world today but very few people who are capable of having an intelligent conversation about some sensitive subjects without completely losing their minds.

Today, I am joined again by my friend, Sal Di Stefano to talk about a lot of these hot and polarizing topics including how technology is changing conversation, the moral implications of markets and governments, how important it is that fathers are in the home, the legalization of drugs, the shift towards nihilism, and everywhere in between.

SAL DI STEFANO

Sal Di Stefano is back for round two.

He is someone that I've gotten to know over the past couple of years. We've been able to connect because we agree on a lot of the same issues and are extremely interested in having important and relevant dialogue on topics most people shy away from.

Sal is the co-founder of MindPump Media. He's spent nearly 20 years as a fitness and personal trainer and focused science and truth to the fitness industry.

Although we only talk about fitness and nutrition towards the end of this conversation, it's apparent that Sal is someone who strives to find objective truth in all facets of life and prides himself and sharing that truth with others.
