DUSTIN DIEFENDERFER | Are You Tough Enough? Apr 23, 2024

Show notes

"Tough" is an adjective we often associate with our perception of manliness. But in the relative ease of modernity, men are becoming increasingly soft and pathetic. Being tough is no longer amatter of survival but a matter of choice. And, why wouldn't you choose to be tough? It's rhetorical but why are so many men weak?

My guest today, founder of MTNTOUGH, Dustin Diefenderfer is a man who knows what it means to be tough. He's also training thousands of men to do the same though physical fitness that matters in the mountains and in everyday life. Today, we talk about the importance of brotherhood, the reason every man needs a purpose, passion, and plan, taking "tests" to quantify your progress, what he calls, "the 10-year rule," the "Spartan Effect," and so much more.

BEDROS KEUILIAN | Adversity Introduces a Man to Himself Apr 09, 2024

Show notes

Most men live soft, sedated lifestyles. Then, they expect themselves to perform at the highest possible standard when life gets real. At best, they wonder why they can't seem to get ahead in their personal and professional lives and, often, chalk it up to luck or poor external circumstances. My guest today, Bedros Keuilian, makes the case that only in adversity is a man revealed to himself and why it's so crucial every man learns to develop the mental fortitude required to succeed in life. We also discuss the how the work we do in private shows itself in public, how to avoid the destructive drift of life, where vulnerability fits into the equation with men, what one question every man is attempting to answer for himself, Bedros' idea of the "Karmic Bank Account," and why the "covenant of the blood is greater than the water of the womb."
