What do conservatives look like? Well if you ask most MSM pundits and those who haven’t ventured past the boundaries of their gayborhood where straight cis-gender men are not welcome you would think a conservative is a white guy from the south drinking beer and oppressing his woman while hating gays. Yet, that’s not the reality since conservative men and women come in all shapes colors, and sexualities. 

Our next guest is an outspoken truth prophet and he pulls no punches. He’s a proud gay man and has been invited to speak along with conservatives like Brantum Tatum and has a growing social media following. Our special guest, Clarkson Lawson is here to set the record straight.

 We can’t debate CRT if we can’t define it. So, let this be our starting point:

Our next guest has come onto the social arena like a bolt of lightning and is quickly amassing followers and his share of critics. He is unabashedly and unapologetically giving thoughtful and logical arguments to some of the most contentious topics of the day aimed at helping you respond with wisdom and virtue to the ideas that shape our culture and lives.  It’s our pleasure to have on today’s show Mr. Ryan Martin of Unsafe Media

There is a battle going on right now between multiple sides about what the definition or the right archetype of masculinity is. And it's a fight that will never the one by anyone, for several reasons. The main reason is that there is no absolute definition of what masculinity is. The problem, especially here in America, is that we've gotten into a zero-sum game where everything is absolute and there's no room for the coexistence of ideas. 

It seems everywhere you look, the latest and greatest trend is to call on men to be vulnerable. in fact, to make this transition palatable the tagline is vulnerability IS strength.  that's pretty clever because who doesn't want to be a strong man?  What you're asking, if not demanding, is for men to abandon and forget eons of generational evolution that vulnerability is weakness.

But you're not just going to unravel and undo hundreds of centuries of generational evolution just because it makes you feel good. Words matter. Reality matters. Being a man is hard. If it were easy everyone would do it.

His name evokes corruption, reeks of manipulation, and oozes with betrayal. And though Niccolo Machiavelli did espouse some trickery as a means to maintain power, his name has been unfairly reviled by history. He was no less a master of diplomacy and good leadership, and there's much to learn from his writings. 

The world would have missed out on one of the most prolific and meaningful contributions to philosophy had Marcus Aurelius not sat down to journal his thoughts which are now one of the most famous and influential books on stoicism. Your journal may or may not stand the test of time and become an icon of philosophy to future generations, but if Marcus Aurelius, a Roman Emperor with a privileged life, found benefit and meaning in journaling, imagine how you will benefit

Stop being afraid of hard work. Everybody loves the grand idea of being in business and having endless money. Having a nice car and a big house is glorified in our society, but when it comes down to the nitty-gritty, no one wants to put in the work. Eventually, people give up, uninterested in doing what it takes to get where they want to be. So many of us want something for nothing.

Asking if you have a work-life balance is the wrong question. You need to ask yourself, do you have work-life happiness?

Albert Einstein once said, “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

"Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own." Charles de Gaulle

Our next guest was motivated by Albert Einstein’s quote and embodies the words of de Gaulle. He is the first person in history to swim the entire 184 miles of the Willamette River in Oregon. If that wasn’t enough, In July of 2017, he accomplished another “historic first” by becoming the first person to swim the entire length of the River Shannon in Ireland raising money and awareness for the Childhood Cancer Foundation. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that he did this while he was dying of leukemia and lymphoma, and his doctors, family, and friends all begged him not to. He’s a 2x Cancer survivor, World Record Swim holder,  licensed clinical marriage & family therapist, and  Founder of Swimming In Miracles, it is a privilege to have the opportunity to speak to an American badass,  Mr. Dean Hall

Marriage can be complex and unpredictable. The reality is that one in two will end in divorce. The good news is that the divorce rates in this country have actually decreased. The decline in divorce rates could be attributed to the increase in the average age at marriage. In 2013, the average age at marriage for men was 29 and for women, it was 27. Age often begets maturity and a clearer idea of who we are and what type of person we want to be married to. At this stage, we are also more likely to be financially stable. But this can all change if you’re the husband and you lose your job, your business, or your mind
