Look, anywhere you turn, you’re going to see the challenges we face as Americans. Some, just designed to stir up infighting and eyeballs on media outlets. Others, genuine threats to our way of life. It’s hard to know which is which but it’s imperative we start having some real discussions about the real issues.
My guest today is Mike Ritland, former Navy SEAL, New York Times Bestselling Author, and author of his latest book, Unf*ck America: A Respectful Open-Minded Conversation. Today, Mike and I don’t see eye to eye on everything but we have a powerful conversation about emotion, religion and bias in politics, whether or not inequalities exists in America, what hate speech is and isn’t, money in politics and the dangers of lobbying, the eroding checks and balances in American politics, and ultimately, how to Unfu*k America.

Life is hard. We’re all dealt with hands we don’t particularly appreciate. But that’s no reason to crumble and shirk our responsibilities. In the wake of difficulty, however, it can be challenging to drive on and power through.
My guest today, Joe De Sena, the founder of Spartan has made a life of doing just that and helping millions of people do the same for themselves. Today, Joe and I talk about what “true resilience” looks like, how discipline breeds responsibility, when it’s okay to quit based on priorities, why you should make things harder, and rules for resilience for yourself and your family.

I think everyone knows that that we are all judged, to some degree, by our appearance and how we present ourselves. You don’t have to like it and you don’t have to think it’s fair but it’s the truth. And, yet, so many of us (myself included) overlook the importance our physical aesthetic when it comes to presenting ourselves well.
My guest today is long-time friend, repeat guest, and men’s style coach, Tanner Guzy. Today, Tanner and I talk about utilizing clothing as an extension of you, the Aesthetic Overton Window and how it impacts what we wear, why you need to avoid being one-dimensional in the way you present yourself, why dressing well isn’t at all about suits and skinny jeans, and, ultimately, how you can garner influence by improving your presence.

I’ve got an incredible guest today. His name is Lucas Botkin and he is the founder of T. Rex Arms, a firearm accessory manufacturing company. But this conversation took an early turn away from firearms and more into how to build a thriving business using the power of social media.
But don’t worry, we still talk about firearms stuff – night vision, optics, body armor, training, etc. But even if you’re not into firearms, we have some topics for you including the power of money, how to manage people correctly, human psychology, making a stand for something, building customer relationships, and how to build a firearms (or any other type) of empire.

Most of us, when formulating an opinion or perspective about a cultural issue tend to look at one side of the story – myself included. But if we have any chance of making societal and cultural changes that actually improve our way of life, it’s crucial that we look at what we see from all sides.
That’s what my guest today, Brandon Tatum, and I talk about – seeing problems from all angles and waiting for all the information before formulating opinions. We cover the Kyle Rittenhouse and Ahmaud Arbery cases, the dangers of the “Defund the Police” movement and what, if any reform in policing is needed, whether or not systemic racism actually exists, our emotions and our responses to them, use of force laws, and so much more.

We all know how dangerous ideology can be and, yet, some of the most destructive ideas tend to be the most pervasive in society. Why is that? And, how do these parasitic ideas spread so effectively?
My guest today is evolutionary psychologist and author of The Parasitic Mind: How infectious Ideas are Killing Common Sense, Gad Saad. Today, Gad and I discuss his guiding principles: truth and freedom, what he refers to as the “Holy Trinity of Bullshit,” the dangers of post-modernism, the other deadly sin most people don’t talk about, the woke mob’s desire to eliminate culture and history, and how to use your voice against these dangerous ideologies.

It’s no surprise that the family court system is stacked against men. Millions of men are, quite literally, fighting for their rights and the rights of their children. But I don’t think most men, unless you’ve fallen prey to the courts, know just how deep and deceitful it is.
Today, I am once again joined by Greg Ellis, the author of The Respondent: Exposing the Cartel of Family Law. He shares with me his story of how, after 20 years of marriage, he found himself incarcerated based on false accusations from his ex-wife, how he has been fighting for his children, the deep corruption inside Family Law, how fatherhood is in the crosshairs of culture, and what he’s been doing to expose the truth.

Extreme violence is something not all of us are likely to face, and that’s a good thing. But that doesn’t mean it can’t happen at the drop of a hat. And, in that moment, it is significantly better to be prepared and aware of what could happen than to be ignorant to it completely.
And, that is where my guest today, Doug Marcaida, comes in. He is a martial artist, edge-weapons specialist, and knife designer. And, he is one of the judges on the extremely popular History Channel show, Forged in Fire.
Today we talk about creating a home as a safe environment for your family, the culture of violence, martial arts and their efficacy, curbing the beast inside of us all, the concept of “verbal judo,” and ultimately how to temper violence though skill and familiarity.
