BRIAN JOHNSON | Theory, Practice, Mastery Nov 21, 2023

Show notes

We all know there is a formula for success in any venture. We've all heard things like, "success leaves clues," and seen certain people replicate success over and over and over again. And, yet, so many men struggle to create and maintain success on the professional and personal front of their lives. That's why it's so important we learn what protocols are required to achieve the results we desire. Today, I'm joined by philosopher and CEO, Brian Johnson to talk about his theory of Arete and why success on any level is so simple yet so elusive. We talk about what confidence in others actually is and how to develop it, how talent won't get you all the way to your goals, why intrinsic motivation must be your pursuit, and the Stockdale Paradox and how to use it to your advantage.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

Brian's upcoming book Areté: Activate Your Heroic Potential
Maintaining trust and integrity gaps
What were you doing when you were at your best?
Creating micromoments
Being grateful for the little things
The meaning behind the word "hero"
Ancient wisdom, modern science, and practical tools
Training heroes

JIM KWIK | Upgrade Your Brain Nov 14, 2023

Show notes

Men, our minds are nearly limitless and yet we spend an inordinate amount of time reading, running, working out, practicing hobbies, talking with other people, performing as best we can across various mediums and take so little time developing the power of our brains and minds. Of the nearly 500 guests I've had on this podcast, all of them believe their thing is the most important thing and, yet, it's the mind that makes everything else possible. That's why I wanted to have repeat guest, Jim Kwik back on the podcast to discuss how to leverage the gray matter between our ears. We talk about everything from learning to learn faster, the 6 thinking hats for decision making, 4 cognitive types (Cheetah, Owl, Dolphin, and Elephant) and how to use this information, and becoming the pilot of our minds, not just the passengers.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

The faster you can learn the faster you can earn
The choices we make every day give us the brain that we deserve
All behavior is belief driven
You need curiosity to know yourself and courage to be yourself
Strategies for recognizing your brain/animal type
Using AI to enhance your human intelligence
Technology is neither good nor bad
Master the ability to adapt
We are flexing our "distraction" muscle all the time
Nootropics and supplements

ANDREW KLAVAN | Your Life is a Work of Art Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

Every single man listening to this podcast sees issues with the current culture. And, yet, far too many men are unwilling to do anything about it. Whether it's a disdain for current culture commentary or a bad case of apathy, ignoring what we see going on around us isn't going to lead to anywhere positive. My guest today, author and podcast host, Andrew Klavan, is a man who is and has been for decades actively engaged in dealing with the decline of our current culture through writing, producing films, and podcast commentary. Today, we talk about rationalization and justification for doing the wrong things, why so many people tap-dance around biological reality, why we're losing this country through the movies, changing culture through art, when and when not to compromise, and viewing your own life as a work of art.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

⁃ Anti-American movies and media after 9/11 ⁃ Behind The Daily Wire ⁃ The Andrew Klavan Show ⁃ What is a woman? ⁃ Comedy needs to be protected ⁃ The ostracization of Hollywood ⁃ Israel and Hamas ⁃ Conservative artists ⁃ The House of Love and Death by Andrew Klavan

ZUBY | Overcoming Our Crisis of Meaning Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

Am I the only one who isn't crazy?! Sometimes it feels that way in the insane world we live in but there are millions of men who feel the same as we look around at what's going on in society from gender ideology, to skirmishes and wars in distant countries, to domestic civil unrest, and everywhere in between. Today, I'm joined by repeat guest, Zuby, as he's one of those men speaking sanity into culture today. We talk about everything from finding life's mission and purpose, to the dangers of AI, how the "crisis of meaning," is a very dangerous threat, the pitfalls of "credentialism," why learning to promote yourself is a virtuous endeavor, and walking the line between caring what some people think, but not everyone.
