Man of War: Forging Men into Warriors

On this very interesting episode we dive deep into the underworld and the making of a warrior under very dangerous conditions. We travel into the Mexican Drug Wars through a narcotics agent’s experience and discuss the spiritual and mystical side of these drug cartels. Our Special Guest is Robert Almonte who is the Former Appointed U. S. Marshal of the Western District of Texas. Robert was also the Deputy Chief for the El Paso Police Department. He has 32 years of law enforcement experience with expertise in narcotics investigations and undercover work. He previously served 25 years with the El Paso, TX Police Department where he spent the majority of his career in narcotics investigations and retired as a Deputy Chief. As the Narcotics Commander with the EPPD, he championed innovative programs like the Hotel/Motel Narcotics Interdiction Unit and the West Texas High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Stash House Task Force, both of which yielded successful apprehensions through community-policing initiatives. Robert Almonte has received numerous awards, including the 1999 White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) award for National “Outstanding HIDTA Task Force Commander”, as well as Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition in 2003. He has provided training to thousands of law enforcement officers throughout the United States and Sweden. He has spent years conducting extensive research on the Mexican drug trade, and how they pray for protection from law enforcement. He is also the creator and producer of the DVD; “Patron Saints of the Mexican Drug Underworld”. Join us in this deep conversation where you will be taken into the underworld of the drug trade and how a warrior developed his mindset and leadership skills in an arena that is full of dangers.

On this episode of Warrior Chronicles we amp it up a bit. We dive into what it takes to be the King of Your Castle. Contrary to popular belief that a King needs to be a ruler and dictator we immediately break that myth. In the modern age, a King must be a powerful man. He must earn the respect from his family members by being an example. This is not about laying the law down, its about being present , caring and sorting out through your life priorities. A king leads from the front and cares about others. He puts his family’s problems and concerns before his own, because he cares. If the King falls the Kingdom collapses around him. He is the staple, the ground and the spiritual head. Make no mistake, a King needs fuel from his Queen but when the sh*t hits the fan and in the darkness of moments the King must rise. His family and those close to him will look to him for guidance. If you easily get offended, I urge you to listen to this podcast. You will either hate it or resonate with it. This episode is for warrior minded men and women who need to re-energize their spirit and their family structure. Listen at your own risk.

On this Warrior Chronicles Episode 26 we search for the meaning of “the root of all evil” and we focus on destroying it. Many have heard this quote attached to money.

For many the root of evil is embedded in their psyche and they cannot shake it, almost like a course. You see life is energy and when you put shit out there, get ready to get it splattered right back on your face.
