LES STROUD | Become a Survivorman

My guest today needs no introduction. Most of you might know him as Survivorman. His name is Les Stroud and he is a legend in the nature, wildlife, and survival communities (for good reason).

Now, I thought we’d be talking all about survival strategies and techniques today but we immediately took the conversation deeper and covered everything from our disagreements on the Boys Scouts new rules allowing girls, why women tend to be better survivalists and what gets in men’s way, our responsibility to contribute to society and the 3 ways we can, what the “joy of completion” means and how to harness it, and how to become our own survivorman in every facet of life.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Why women tend to perform better in certain survival situations
• How ego gets in a mans way in a survival situation
• Value of women being included in Boy Scouts
• The importance of adult male mentorship to young males
• How to overcome the lack of early mentorship as a young man
• The benefits and drawbacks of having a chip on your shoulder
• How canoeing lead Les to what he is doing today
• The importance of the “joy of completion”
• The benefits of connecting with nature
• The joy of teaching kids
• Why failure is a great teacher
• The importance of giving your kids realistic expectations

If you want to learn how to better communicate with your peers, wife, kids, friends, neighbors, and strangers, join us inside the Iron Council this month.
