What if the challenges that knock you down could actually make you stronger? In this episode, we sit down with Brian Johnson, founder of Heroic and author of Arete, to explore the concept of anti-fragile confidence—the ability to use life's hardest moments as fuel for your growth. You'll discover why your protocol matters more than your motivation, and how to forge the kind of confidence that gets stronger under pressure.
We dive into the ultimate game of life—living with arete, or virtue—and how closing the gap between who you could be and who you're actually being creates deep fulfillment. Learn why rule number one of a heroic life is that it's supposed to be hard, and how dominating the fundamentals (eating, moving, sleeping) drives both your physiology and psychology. This is about building anti-fragile confidence: knowing that no matter what life throws at you, you have what it takes to respond with excellence.
