REMI ADELEKE | Whatever You Do, Do it Right Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

We're all tempted, at times, to cut corners, to take the path of least resistance, and to do work less than we're capable of doing. It's easy to do in this easily distracted, overly-stimulated environment we all operate in. My guest today, former Navy SEAL, Remi Adeleke is a prime example of doing work right despite our desire to take the easy route. Author of his latest book, Chameleon, Hollywood director and consultant, and TV reality show star, Remi knows what he wants, what he doesn't, and how to pursue everything with an eye towards exceptionalism and mastery. Today, we talk about not becoming a "one-note guy," getting over Fear of Missing Out when declining opportunities, why writing is one of the best ways to articulate your thoughts, why it's a mistake to write off the success of others, and timeless advice he learned from his mom like the mantra, "Whatever you do, do it right."

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

Doing it all
Make yourself indispensable
Creating a fantasy world from your own real world experience
Coming to America from Nigeria
Don't live in the past and play the victim

LT. COLONEL BRIAN SLADE | Triumph Over Trauma Jun 27, 2023

Show notes

Every one of us has experienced trauma of some sort in our lives. Some more challenging scenarios than others. But it does no good to compare our own circumstances with others, only what those who seem to be able to manage and work past the difficulties of life can teach us.

Combat Rescue Helicopter Pilot, Lt. Colonel Brian Slade joins me on today to talk about strategies he's learned and developed for overcoming some of the worst scenarios he and others have overcome in their lives. We discuss the concept of "chair flying" as a method for anticipating and preparing for traumatic events, the difference between those who adapt to challenge and those who don't, why we as men need to wrap our heads around "operating in the ugly," overcoming festering emotional wounds, and how to triumph over trauma.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

"Just get over it" its not great advice
Stress inoculation and "chair flying"
Gratitude and perspective
Don't mistake the gunfight (finite) for the mountains (infinite)
Perspective creates your reality
Always have an honorable mission
The only way out is through

TIM BALLARD | Eradicating Child Sex Trafficking Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

Child sex trafficking literally permeates every corner of the globe. It's despicable, it's nasty, and it's a growing trend, even in 2023. Where most men recognize problems in this world, few are willing to put their own careers and lives on the line to create solutions. My guest today is built different. His name is Tim Ballard and he is the founder of Operation Underground Railroad which exists to rescue children from dangerous and despicable sex rings. Today, we talk about what a truly compassionate border policy would look like, the hyper-sexualization of the world and the degeneracy it leads to, how unintended policy incentives often make problems worse, why evil lurks behind the concept of tolerance, and his latest film uncovering the underground child sex trade, Sound of Freedom.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

The U.S. is one of the top consumers of child sexual material
Open borders are contributing to the problem
Its not easy to profile child sexual predators
Pornography is a gateway
Sex work is the antithesis of feminism
When is government intervention appropriate
Media standing in the way of fighting child trafficking
The process of finding traffickers
The Sound of Freedom

DR. HENRY CLOUD | How to Earn and Restore Trust Jun 13, 2023

Show notes

Trust is something all of us know we need to build in order to have influence with those we love and whom we're called to lead. But it's also incredibly difficult to build and even harder to repair once you've undermined it. And, unfortunately, as challenging as it is to build, it's incredibly easy to tear apart never to be seen again. My guest today is Dr. Henry Cloud, author of his latest book, Trust: Knowing When to Give It, When to Withhold It, How to Earn It, and How to Fix It When It Gets Broken. We talk about trust being a learned skill, the process for repairing trust, 5 factors that drive the trust system, trust as a long game vs. a short game, and how trust fuels every single aspect of life.
