Life is suffering. At least, it’s full of suffering. Unfortunately, too many men avoid voluntary suffering and, instead, choose the path of least resistance. But that path leads to a life of complacency and mediocrity.
My guest today is a man who runs (literally) towards suffering and hardship, not to make life harder than it needs to be but to prepare himself for what will inevitably come. His name is Cam Hanes. He’s a bowhunter first, an ultra-endurance athlete, and an incredibly motivating human being. Today, we talk about the purpose of suffering, making the decision to make yourself into something more, why working harder than others will always produces results, finding mentorship and friendship, dealing with negativity from others, his new book Endure, and why every man ought to embrace the mantra, “Train Hard, Hunt Easy.”

Life never presents us with a linear path to success. Often, the journey is marred with failures, obstacles, setbacks, challenges, and detours. It’s what we do in the face of the inevitable that determines the level of satisfaction and fulfillment in our lives.
My guest today is a Master Bladesmith (in fact, he was able to achieve that status younger than anyone else in history), and the founder of Josh Smith Knives and Montana Knife Company. Today, Josh and I talk about his personal journey from forging knives in his teens, to working as lineman thinking he was making the right move for his family, then back to where it all started as we works to build the next great knife company from the ground up. We cover paying attention to the little things, the mixed emotions of starting a company, developing a powerful team culture, and finding confidence when you don’t have any experience.

Terry Crews joins me on the podcast today to talk about some very powerful topics focused on developing masculine power. I believe that you’d all agree that Terry embodies what we typically think of when we think about masculinity.
But today we dive deep into his true sense of power, his struggles with past anger issues and pornography, how to not only be physically strong but build mental and emotional strength, avoiding being baited in uncontrollable situations, what it means to “misuse masculinity,” and overcoming shame, insecurity, and fear.

You guys have heard me talk a lot about our role as protectors, providers, and presiders not only within the walls of our home but in our communities as well. Not only do we have the opportunity to give back to those in need, we have a moral obligation to do so, especially if we have the means to do it.
My guest today is a man who is doing exactly that. His name is Victor Fontanez (you may know him as Vic Blends) and he has made a name for himself through offering practical life advice for the young men he gives haircuts to as he serves his community in Atlanta. Vic is 22 years old but you’re going to hear so much incredible wisdom come from him. I was honestly taken back by how much this man inspired me to do and be better myself.

We live in the single greatest time in the history of the human species but that’s not to say we’re without our fair share of challenges and struggles. It seems to me that the path we’re on is leading us to a path of destruction and the pace of our demise seems to be rapidly increasing.
My guest, Dave Rubin, would agree and, although we don’t see eye to eye on everything we discuss today, I think it will serve as a reminder that we can – and should – learn to have these crucial conversations before it’s too late.
Today, we talk about the seeming futility of trying create positive change in the world, what “wokeism” is and how to root it out of our society, big tech and how it’s working in overdrive to subjugate us, capitalism vs. socialism, homosexuality and transgenderism, and, ultimately, how to thrive in our ever-increasing woke dystopia.

No doubt, you’ve heard of Bitcoin and Crypto but with the increasing popularity of digital currency, you may still have a lot of questions and skepticism about the validity of what exactly it is and if it’s worth paying attention to.
My guest today is Bitcoin expert and a duel degree MIT graduate, Michael Saylor. Today, him and I discuss what Bitcoin is and whether or not it’s a valid form of currency for the future. We also get into some higher-level discussions about what is the nature of money, value, and our individual property rights.
