As a Man Thinketh : Warrior Chronicles
On episode 136 Rafa breaks down the reason why the way you think about yourself is crucial for your development.
In our society many people trade their soul with the devil. They do this because they view themselves less than adequate. They think that in order to be better than the person next to them they need to do things that are dishonorable and downright nasty...
Many have lost their way because of their actions. They have lost their families and jobs.
As Rafa points out, the grass is not always greener on the other side and most of the time the way you think about yourself has more to do with a lack of disciple than a lack of self confidence.
Living a warrior lifestyle is not easy. You are taught to face your demons and to be prepared for battle at all times. With that said, you will live happier, healthier and more powerful lives if you learn to don your armor and use it effectively day in and day out.
Don't miss this powerful episode.

Fit is NOT a Diet, It's a Way of Life | Thom King
In this enlightening episode 130 we answer the question why health is a primary component in living a warrior life. We dig deep into the mentality of staying fit at any age and why proper nutrition is essential. We go down the Keto path and reveal a bunch of myths and some great information about this type of lifestyle.
Our guest is Thom King who is a serial entrepreneur, CEO of Stevia Brands, "Guy Called Keto" and an author.
Founded by King in 1999, Stevia Brands Inc. is one of the largest importers, manufacturers and distributors of clean-label sweetening systems and natural sweeteners. Emulating such renowned entrepreneurs such as the Wright Brothers and Steve Jobs, King started his company by first asking the critical question, “Why?” Based on the understanding that it’s only by determining the “why” of what you want to do that you can achieve lasting success, King’s business isn’t simply something he does for a living. It stands as a testament to who he is, what he does and how he lives his life.
Join us in this interesting and thought provoking conversation where we cover subjects such as mindset, diet, Keto, discipline, entrepreneurship, fitness and so much more.
