Summary

What does it mean to be a complete beast? This is a question my guest, Jack Donovan, attempts to answer in his latest book, appropriately titled, A More Complete Beast. There is a reason the title is likely to resonate with you, as a man. Each of us understands that we are both man and beast.

Today we cover so much about the subject of masculinity including why being a man has to be an intentional choice, the power of what he calls the "conquering eye," how to avoid becoming a victim of victims, and how each and every one of us can become a more complete beast.

JACK DONOVAN

Gentlemen, my guest today is a man a lot of you are familiar with and someone I've had on the podcast before.

His name is Jack Donovan and he is the author of several books on the subject of modernity and masculinity including The Way of Men, A Sky Without Eagles, Becoming a Barbarian, and his latest release, A More Complete Beast.

As you may know, Jack is a fascinating man and probably one you wouldn't expect to hear on this podcast (in fact, I made a joke about Jack, a pagan, and myself, a Mormon, walking into an ax-throwing bar just after this interview). That said, his views on the subject of manliness and masculinity, although controversial, resonate with so many of us because they're spot on and refreshing in a time when more and more of society has a hard time even discussing what it means to be a man.

0:25.3	becoming a victim of victims and how each and every one of us can become a more complete beast.
0:30.9	You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest, embrace your fears, and boldly charge
0:35.8	your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time. You are not
0:41.6	easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life, this is who you are,
0:48.8	this is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done, you can call
0:54.3	yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Mickler and I am the host and

1:04.8	tuning in. We need more men engaged in this fight, more fathers, more husbands, more business owners,
1:10.2	more community leaders. I mean, you look around in society and it has become evident that the gap
1:17.3	or the void of real, strong, motivated, ambitious men is very visible. It's fully present.
1:26.4	And so it's my goal and my objective and my job to help give you the tools and the resources
1:32.8	and the guidance and direction to reclaim and restore what it means to be a man in a society
1:39.7	that has a hard time understanding why men are relevant, why men are important, and of course,
1:45.1	we know they are, but it's my job to bring the mission to the masses. And so with that said, I ask,
1:51.1	if you're listening in, if you've got any value from this at all, please go on, leave your iTunes
1:56.6	rating and review for the show. We're doing a giveaway between now and the end of this month,
