He\u2019s the sort of high-energy, fit, and positive guy who makes that event so special.\nAnd while you wouldn\u2019t know it to look at him today, he\u2019s also a man who\u2019s been on a remarkable journey of transformation from fat to fit, scared to brave, and sad to Chad.\nHe\u2019s built businesses, retired young, and traveled the world. And he\u2019s still not done, which is a feeling I can relate to.\nTogether, we also had what I think might have been one of the most important conversations I've yet hosted on my podcast.\nWe discussed:\nJohn's transformation journey to become the man he is\nThe need to cultivate courage in cold-approaching women\nHow to confront our fears to live a little bit closer to freedom.\nSome of the key books of the Renaissance of Men, including works by David Deida and Jack Donovan\n\u00a0\nBut then we got into a conversation about anger. It wasn't a conceptual conversation either.\nWe talked about what place it has, if any, in the lives of men as it relates to our evolving and devolving environment today \u2014 a world of fear, controversy, division, and this creeping sense that something isn't right.\nThe result was like two men rolling jiu-jitsu with our life philosophies.\nGetting a conversation like this on tape is a bit like catching lightning in a bottle. I felt exhilarated afterwards and more alive.\nBecause that's what it means to be men today: to have our ideas and believe in them passionately, and then mutually put them to the test for the purpose of making us both better.\nTo visit John and Bulldog Mindset, click the following links:\nYouTube \u2014 Instagram \u2014 Twitter \u2014 Website\nTo purchase Jack Donovan, \u201cThe Way of Men\u201d click here\nTo purchase David Deida, \u201cThe Way of the Superior Man\u201d, click here\nTo purchase Robert Glover, \u201cNo More Mr. Nice Guy\u201d click here\nTo learn more about the 21Convention, click here\nVisit https://renofmen.com to sign up to be notified about exciting upcoming news.\nConnect with us on Instagram and Twitter.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/077d5416-18ed-4332-a23d-bbdca2b970df/j_NeNa4rnItxJ1OYds7sRGv3.jpg"}
