JESSE ITZLER| Living a Life Optimized

That’s why I’m stoked to finally be sitting down with my friend, Jesse Itzler. Jesse is someone who, in spite of his tremendous professional success, has managed to become an incredibly committed and devoted husband and father.

BEN SHAPIRO | The Authoritarian Moment
My guest today needs no introduction. His name is Ben Shapiro and he is likely one of the most polarizing guests that I’ve had on since we started podcasting 6 years ago. But regardless of what you may think about him and his stances on the world’s most pressing concerns, these are exactly the types of challenging conversations we should be having. Today, we cover a lot of ground including Ben’s new book, The Authoritarian Moment: How the Left Weaponized America’s Institutions Against Dissent. We also discuss the shifting Overton Window in politics, using logic over feelings to create solutions, why many people are “too nice” and losing the cultural battle, and where one needs to draw the line on government overreach. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Most Americans don’t feel comfortable saying what they want to say Most corporations want to avoid controversy People in the middle tend to cave to the louder side The left has overshot their mark Social media rewards the most radical The problem with broadly defining problems We have to play by the rules we have agreed upon The Federal government has grown beyond its intended size Potential inciting incidents that could lead to permanent fragmentation How do we shift the tides in culture and society Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

JASON WILSON | Embracing the Lion and the Lamb
The world (and our social media accounts) are flooded with a false sense of bravado, machismo, and the “alpha” mentality from men who, when you peel back the layers, are dealing with some very difficult and challenging experiences and struggles. Unfortunately, many of them have never learned to deal with these experiences head on and end up doing a lot of mental and emotional damage to themselves and others along the way. My guest today, is Jason Wilson, the author of Battle Cry: Waging and Winning the War Within. Today, Jason and I discuss why men have a hard time addressing and dealing with these wounds, the difference between being worried and being concerned, his own experiences with unhealed trauma, what it means to be a comprehensive man, a four-part framework for mastering your emotions, and how you can and should embrace in your inner lion and lamb. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The world needs the lion and the lamb No such thing as negative emotions Mastering your emotions It’s ok for men to release through tears Worrying is different than concern The importance of staying in the moment The difference between being assertive and being aggressive Admiring the strength of women Ruling your own emotions allows you to communicate better Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?
