What does it mean to be a complete beast? This is a question my guest, Jack Donovan, attempts to answer in his latest book, appropriately titled, A More Complete Beast. There is a reason the title is likely to resonate with you, as a man. Each of us understands that we are both man and beast. Today we cover so much about the subject of masculinity including why being a man has to be an intentional choice, the power of what he calls the "conquering eye," how to avoid becoming a victim of victims, and how each and every one of us can become a more complete beast. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS What it means to become a more complete beast Why you have to make an intentional choice to be a man Why men are perceived as a threat to society Why you should challenge yourself as a man The four masculine tactical virtues - strength, courage, mastery, honor Why some people try to redefine words to fit their narrative The power of the "conquering eye" Why it's important to define an honor code for yourself Why you should care about some people's opinions Avoiding become the victims of the victims Sifting through the noise of others Why there is no honor in being a victim, only in overcoming it Why vulnerability is not as powerful as modern society would have you believe Why masculinity is not a mask JACK DONOVAN Gentlemen, my guest today is a man a lot of you are familiar with and someone I've had on the podcast before. His name is Jack Donovan and he is the author of several books on the subject of modernity and masculinity including The Way of Men, A Sky Without Eagles, Becoming a Barbarian, and his latest release, A More Complete Beast. As you may know, Jack is a fascinating man and probably one you wouldn't expect to hear on this podcast (in fact, I made a joke about Jack, a pagan, and myself, a Mormon, walking into an ax-throwing bar just after this interview). That said, his views on the subject of manliness and masculinity, although controversial, resonate with so many of us because they're spot on and refreshing in a time when more and more of society has a hard time even discussing what it means to be a man.

Everyone once in a while you have the opportunity to sit down and talk with someone like you've known them for years. Although me and my guest today, Pete Roberts, have only known each other for six months or so, we share some core values when it comes to the way we approach our life, our business, and our responsibilities as men. Today we talk about how arrogance is hurting men, how to instill discipline in your children, the importance of self-checking yourself, and how to set yourself free. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The real deal with being an introvert/extrovert How Jiu-Jitsu translates into life Why you aren't as good as you think you are How your arrogance is hurting you The cycle of hardship and how it creates stronger men The American Dream and how to bring it back How to instill discipline into your children Why brute strength isn't always your ally How to keep kids from going soft The power of "tribalism" and conformity How to create a powerful culture Delegating roles and responsibilities How to effectively use the Pareto principle to produce more How you can tell a lot about people through who associates with them How Decentralized Command can help you win in business in life How to remove your emotions from the equation The importance of self-checking yourself Why you need to get rid of stuff in your life PETE ROBERTS My guest today is friend and founder of Origin Maine, Pete Roberts. I was fortunate enough to join him at his Jiu-Jitsu Immersion Camp a couple weeks ago and, while there, had an opportunity to sit down with him for an off-the-cuff interview about family, business, and life. This is a man who I really admire and respect not only for his business acumen but the purpose and reasoning behind what he's doing for his family, his employees, and his community. You've heard me talk about Origin for months. Now you get to meet the man behind the vision and his talk on business and the world.
