Expect to learn what it means to live free and die well and how to do so, how the Army prepares soldiers to face challenges once they integrate back into the real world, what happened when John came closest to death, why America needs more warriors despite a lack of a war, how people can express their vulnerability without feeling weak and fragile, what it means to be the most dangerous man in the room, why it’s important to face death before actually dying and much more...

0:00.0	Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the show. My guest today is John Lovell. He's a former United
0:05.6	States Army Ranger firearms instructor and founder of the Warrior Poet Society. It's often quoted
0:11.7	that it's better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war. But how should you cultivate
0:17.2	this state of readiness? How can you become capable of standing strong when there is a battle to
0:21.3	be fought and sufficiently peaceful to be in touch with your emotions once it's over? Expect to
0:26.6	learn what it means to live free and die well. How the Army prepares soldiers to face challenges
0:32.1	once they integrate back into the real world, what happened to John when he came closest to death?
0:37.2	Why America needs more warriors despite a lack of war? How people can express their vulnerability
0:42.5	without feeling weak and fragile? What it means to be the most dangerous man in the room? Why it's
0:47.0	important to face death before actually dying? And much more. In other news, this episode is
0:54.0	brought to you by Bubs Naturals. Bubs Naturals make my favorite collagen protein powder. I used
0:59.9	collagen protein when re-growing an entire Achilles three years ago. It was a huge part of my recovery.
1:04.8	It was taking every single day for the entirety of my recovery, which took six months and I was a
1:09.4	massive, massive fan of it. Bubs Naturals has 20 grams of protein, all seven amino acids, with one
1:14.9	single ingredient. It is the purest form of collagen that you'll find on the market. It can actually
1:19.1	mix it in with a coffee, decaf or caffeinated, like 10 to 20 grams will mix in with a big cup of
1:25.2	coffee and you can't taste it at all. So it's not even like you need to make an additional shake.
1:29.2	It'll mix in with a lot of other stuff that you're having. So if you're looking to improve your
1:33.3	hair, your skin, your nails, your teeth, or if you're recovering from an injury and need an extra
1:37.7	assist, I would highly, highly recommend that you try collagen protein from Bubs Naturals.
1:42.5	Head to Bubs Naturals.com and use the code modern wisdom for 20% of everything
1:48.2	site-wide. That's bubsnaturals.com and modern wisdom. A check out.
