JOHN LOVELL | A Guide to Living Free and Dying Well
We're all familiar with the Warrior Archetype. Many men listening to this podcast embody what it means to be a warrior. But if we are exclusively warriors in our approach to life, we can easily overlook the more gentle, meeker virtues that make us well-rounded men. My guest today is a man intimately familiar with the balance between the lion and the lamb, the warrior and the poet. His name is John Lovell and he is the author of The Warrior Poet Way: A Guide to Living Free and Dying Well. Today, John and I talk about striking the balance between both, how we're neither exclusively warrior or exclusively poet, how to become not just dangerous in the physical realm but also dangerous in our virtue, how humility heals everything, overcoming a crisis of identity, and why if there is nothing to protect there is no need for men, and the proper time and place for displaying vulnerability. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: The concept of the warrior poet We are lacking both warriors and poets in society Jesus is the eternal warrior and poet Evil people pulling the political strings Everything has become a "political" issue Being influenced by Artificial Intelligence Pride poisons everything, humility heals everything Humility is a source of strength Building strength through suffering Truth is narrow and exclusive Battle Planners are back in stock.

REMI ADELEKE | Whatever You Do, Do it Right
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 Lessons learned from the Bronx Do things right the first time Chat GPT and AI making people stupid Bringing your work to life on the screen Battle Planners are back in stock.
