The Will Spencer Podcast

CB Robertson is an author, husband, father, and autodidactic philosopher. If you don't immediately recognize his name, you might recognize his Instagram handle: Caffeine and Philosophy. If I'm one type of man, who allows life to interrupt his philosophical pursuits, CB is the other type of man for whom philosophy IS life, or at least a big part of it. I always admired his clarity of thought even if I was a bit intimidated. But if I know my audience, you guys like lengthy, in-depth episodes to chew on, and I knew that CB would fit the bill. In our conversation we discussed: Why Homer matters, and how the stories of Achilles, Odysseus, and Hector have meaning for us today Plato's Republic, and why it's easy to miss the subtle message that Plato is trying to communicate The transcendent hero vs. the family man, and maybe why the distinction isn't so clear Masculine speech, and its direct and indirect forms And finally, how shared suffering between men binds us together in our minds, and hearts, as well. CB graciously agreed to come on the podcast just a few short days after we started talking, which was inside my usual research window. But in this case, we decided to wing it. And I have a feeling you're going to like the results.

Suzanne Venker is an author and marriage coach who walked onto the battlefield of the sexual holy war in 2012. She's written books, appeared on radio shows, and developed a coaching practice to bring couples closer together by helping both women AND men women extract the feminist programming embedded in our psyches. She’s on the front lines in a way that I think few are, seeing the ways that feminism warps, distorts, and even shatters women's hopes for a happy family life. In our conversation we discussed: The journey she took to talking about women and men professionally The feminist mind, and if it can be deprogrammed, or better yet, when The fascinating story of how her stock brother mother helped teach her vital lessons about femininity Why she's taking a break from podcasting and writing, and what she's got planned next A discussion of sex before marriage, and when and why it should should occur, from a secular perspective Suzanne and I have a lot of fun talking. I have enormous respect for her speaking truth quietly and clearly. And I also honor her courage to be disliked.

Carlos Fenmann, aka The Bitcoin Coach, is a husband, father, entrepreneur, and Bitcoin educator.  He’s the man who “orange pilled” ME in summer 2020, and my world was never the same.  Carlos graciously agreed to come on the podcast to fill in some of your Bitcoin knowledge gaps and perhaps even some of mine too, following my discussion with LaserHodl. In our conversation we discussed:  - The process of Bitcoin mining and what a blockchain is - How Bitcoin differs from crypto, including the alt-coin Ethereum - How Bitcoin isn't a perfect system, but a resilient system - The anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto, and...  - Carlos' own Bitcoin Coaching services, and how he can get you AND your family up to speed to protect your hard-earned generational wealth.  As you might imagine, Bitcoin is a lifelong pursuit. At the end of 2 hours, we're not going to get you to LaserHodl level.  But my hope is, after this conversation you'll understand why the only wrong amount of Bitcoin to own, is zero.

LaserHodl is a husband, former software engineer, fantastically deep and broad thinker, Bitcoin citizen, and Sovereign Hopeful. Many in the past couple years have attempted to explain what's going on in our world, but when I heard LaserHodl recently I said, I think this man has got it. His thesis is that what we're experiencing has to do with money, how it's created, why that system is failing, and what might happen next. And buried within that picture is the answer for what we, as men, can do about it. The answer is Bitcoin. In our conversation, we discussed just one thing: Why Bitcoin is immediately, urgently relevant to you as a man. That subject is so broad and far-reaching, it took us almost 5 hours to cover it in total. We moved from Malthusian fear spells to global finance, geopolitics and get on zero, our personal histories and far beyond into the Christian religion, our shared faith.  And Bitcoin touches on it all. And in that, I encourage you to listen carefully to our discussion. It's vitally important that we all get this as men. Because if we succeed in transforming money, there's nothing we can't do. NOTE: For those unfamiliar with Bitcoin, and how it works, fear not. Shortly after this podcast is released I'll be doing a companion episode about the how and what of Bitcoin with Carlos Fenmann, the Bitcoin Coach.

The Fizeek Father is a father, art director, and Instagram content creator who's blazed a bright and influential trail through the men's space in just a short couple of months. His clean designs, clear ideas, and sense of humor have brought a sense of levity to a field, which can often be full of serious ideas. He's been on his own journey of transformation, from skinny fat bugman of trash world into Primal Handsome Nationalist of Gastonian Proportions. In our conversation we discussed: Who he was, the mistakes he made in his marriage, and why, and who he became as a result Red pill truths, and which ones were hardest for each of us to swallow His son and their relationship today, as the boy begins to grow into a man The influence of the author Bronze Age Pervert on his writing, and the benefits and drawbacks of anonymity vs. being a creator with a real face and a name And finally the power of humor in his writing, and how he harnesses it to make a creative impact in the saturated men's space. My friends and I have shared so much of Fizeek King's content since his splash debut in November that I decided I had to find out who he was, including his story and philosophy, and I wasn't disappointed. And I'd like to thank all of you for giving me the freedom to interview not just worldwide thought leaders, but newer creators making waves and making a difference for all of us.

With my podcast I wanted to create great conversations of shared meaning with men that I admire, who are making a difference as men. By those three standards, I feel confident saying that this third episode of Race and the Renaissance with my friend Jonathan West might be my best episode of all time. After four conversations so far, we’ve built rapport, a flow, and trust to talk about subjects I don't hear anyone else discussing in the men's space. But with 2022 approaching, we need to. In this conversation Jonathan and I discussed: The Travis Scott Astroworld debacle and what it says about rap music today My experiences living in Ujamaa, the black theme dorm at Stanford The need to eliminate victim consciousness in the men's movement The 90’s movie “Boyz N Tha Hood and what it says about ghetto culture and its place within the black community And finally, the need for black people to reclaim their culture from the corporations packaging and selling it to them. It’s not all heaviness, though. Like a proper barbershop experience, there's heartfelt laughter and real comedy between us too, which is my favorite part. And in that I think we get a glimpse into what a real conversation looks like between men.

Arthur Kwon Lee is an internationally acclaimed fine artist who's exhibited in galleries and collections around the world and been named artist of the year by prestigious institutions. He received early lessons of masculinity from his “rooftop Korean” pastor father that fed into his classically inspired paintings. But when Arthur took his perspectives off the canvas and onto social media, he discovered the hatred that our culture has for masculinity, as well as for boundaries, discipline, and order — all essential characteristics of great art. That sent Arthur on a journey that's taken him from cancellation by the art scene into the Manosphere, where he’s made more than a just name for himself, but a home. In our conversation we discussed: His origins in the gallery world and how he developed his style How masculinity generates respect of boundaries How the arts world is just an arm of the state Why more wealthy conservatives aren't funding engines of cultural production An announcement of his upcoming year-long sabbatical And finally a visual analysis of several of Arthur paintings through various stages of his career It's been deeply inspiring to me to see the timeless values of religion, art, and personal style making their way further into the Renaissance. This is truly becoming a remarkable movement, one which every day I'm becoming prouder to be a part of. Because aesthetics lift us up to the divine, and bring the divine down to Earth, which is everything I'm about, as I hope you can see, and which Arthur captures so vividly in his paintings.

King David is the world’s only Quit Porn Strategist, for a society that sorely needs it. He’s a young man with a big dream: to burn down the $97 billion worldwide porn industry, one man at a time. His story with porn dates to his teenage years and before. And though he's out of his teens now, every year more young men are still discovering the world of porn. David wants to help them find the exit. In our conversation we discussed: How he was full-on cancelled in 2020, and how that led to his personal transformation The question of whether it's possible to be mad at God The nature of inner gifts The importance of not making your struggle your identity And what it means to taste the hedonic treadmill These are not easy conversations, nor are they meant to be. But we as men must have the courage to bring these conversations into the light. --- LINKS --- Follow King David on Twitter @kingdavidqps Work with King David at https://enroll.quitpornstrategies.com/ "The Household and the War for the Cosmos" - by CR Wiley "Muscular Christianity" - by Brett McKay --- JOIN THE RENAISSANCE --- Twitter: @renofmen Instagram: @renofmen http://renofmen.com

# Thanks to all my listeners for an incredible first year! # Ryan Michler is the host and founder of the Order of Man podcast and movement, and one of my greatest teachers in the Renaissance of Men. From him I’ve learned about podcasting, consistency, and high achievement. But I’ve also found that he’s one of the deepest and most nuanced thinkers and doers about masculinity, from the jiu jitsu mats to canoe building, fatherhood and hunting. In our conversation we discussed: The importance of failure, and how nobody cares about you A perspective on real hardship, and how not to take the luxury we live in for granted How to enjoy the process over the goal Relating to your emotions as a man, through actions instead of talking The poverty of the zero f's mentality Capitalism, and the subjective value of goods Ryan's take on toxic masculinity And finally the difference between man, masculinity, and manliness Let’s not take for granted how incredible this moment is, that we get to learn about masculinity from men whose names will stand the test of time. I’ve learned so much from Ryan, and will continue to. I know other men have as well. And soon I think America will too. .

Dr Warren Farrell is a political scientist, educator, and bestselling author of The Myth of Male Power and The Boy Crisis. He defected from the heights of the feminist movement, the National Organization for Women in the 1970's, and at great personal cost he set out an adventure to share the truths that he knew about men, women, and families. The Financial Times of London named him one of the world's top 100 thought leaders. His books are published in more than 50 countries and 19 languages. He's taught at the university level in five disciplines, and been interviewed multiple times by Oprah, Larry King, and most recently Dr. Jordan Peterson. In our conversation we discussed: His early days as a a feminist How he develops his signature sound bites A devastating challenge to the idea of "male privilege” Couples communication And how father involvement helps children, and especially boys, live longer Despite his monumental contributions, some men I meet don't know of Warren or his work.  I think in some ways this is indicative of us losing touch with our roots. But we all need to know where we come from. And it's possible none of us would be here without Warren .
