Summary

In this episode, I’m speaking with Brian Johnson, founder and CEO of Heroic Public Benefit Corporation and the author of Areté: Activate Your Heroic Potential.

I know Brian personally, and he is one of the most thoughtful, disciplined, and all-around interesting people I’ve ever met—I can’t wait to share this episode with you!

In this podcast, Brian and I discuss:

His journey from Philosopher’s Notes, his project that I followed for over a decade!, to Heroic, his vision for social change through personal transformation
The secret meaning of the word “Hero” and how redefining the word will change our world
7 practical objectives that bridge ancient wisdom with modern science…and Brian’s vision for building a community of people committed to making the world a better place

The concept of Areté and how it’s the most deceivingly simple way to finally live a life you love

The fascinating way our mitochondria are tied to our life’s purpose and the emerging field of mitochondrial psychobiology

The number one way to foster physiological and psychological anti-fragility…the concept that challenges of all types make us stronger, more purposeful, and more capable of supporting others

The nearly unbelievable results of a study done on Brian’s work showing that just ONE targeted action per day leads to 23% more energy
