Show notes

If you're a father (or plan to be one), I know how it is to feel completely inadequate to be the type of dad your children need you to be. Self-doubt, challenging life circumstances, and past emotional trauma all combine to create the perfect storm of insecurity in raising your sons and daughters right. My guest today is New York Times Bestselling Author, Gary John Bishop and today he joins me to talk about his latest book, Grow Up: Becoming the Parent Your Kids Deserve. We cover such a wide array of topics in this conversation including why you should question your past and how to heal from it, the value of "empathetic intelligence" and how to use it effectively with your kids, how responsibility supersedes truthfulness, overcoming shame and guilt from parenting mistakes, and what it means to truly forgive someone.

AXEL KAISER | How the West Was Lost Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

We all know how the west was won – rugged individualism, a bold and daring approach to the new frontier, and a fierce belief in personal liberty and independence. But that does not describe the west or, more specifically, America any longer. We've traded individualism for collectivism, risk-taking for easy handouts, and liberty for big brother. My guest today, Axel Kaiser, makes the case against leftist ideology, why America is the last glimmer of hope in the world, and how a basic understanding of economics could free us all. Today, we talk about public debt and entitlement, whether the leftist ideology that permeates our culture is based in ignorance, stupidity, or malice, why the meritocracy isn't a representation of power hierarchies, and how, if we continue down this path, we may see a new age of darkness.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

Defining socialism
True capitalism vs. crony capitalism
The future of America and identity politics
What would civil war look like in the US
Is our way of life sustainable?
If we lose the US we lose the whole world
There is objective reality
What happens when you get rid of objective truth?
The impact of "losing the universities"

GREG HARDEN | Create Sanity in an Insane World Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

It's no surprise that there is an increasing amount of insanity in the world today, most of it outside of our control. But there is also an immense amount of insanity taking place in the space 6" between our ears – our brains. Fortunately, that's the realm we can control and, once we learn to do just that, we can achieve sanity in the otherwise chaotic experience of life.

My guest today is mindset coach to some of the greatest athletes to play like Tom Brady, Desmond Howard, and Michael Phelps, to name a few. His name is Greg Harden and he makes the case for creating sanity out of our lives. We talk about becoming an expert on one subject, the narcissistic tinge of "self-love" and a better alternative, why you must learn to grow through adversity, not merely go through it, four basic needs every man desires and how he can fulfill those for himself, and learning to know yourself and embrace complete acceptance of who you are.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

Control what you can control
Become an expert on yourself
Three levels of fitness: physical, mental, spiritual
Grow through it, don't just goo through it
Having fun is up to you
People treat you then way you treat yourself
If you hate me, that's on you
Be hungry and humble
Stop looking for love in all the wrong places
Embrace the here and now

JAMIE KILSTEIN | Allow Yourself to Evolve Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

So many of us are so trapped in our current ways of thinking that we do not allow ourselves to take in new information and apply it in a way that may threaten our current reality or identity. Combine that need we have to be congruent in our own lives with the desire others have for us to remain in the status quo and it becomes extremely difficult for us to evolve into new ways of thinking and behaving. My guest today is a man who has had to continually look at the way he is showing up and incorporate a new set of beliefs and values to drive his life forward. His name is Jamie Kilstein and, today, we talk about individual sovereignty, spirituality vs. the institution of religion, why "grifting" is a concept designed to keep the status quo, caution in becoming overly apathetic, why you should get comfortable with changing your mind, and how to allow yourself to evolve.
