Summary
As a man, you are asked to shoulder not only your own burdens but often times the weight of others' (wife, children, friends and family, and neighbors). It can be a daunting task but worth making yourself capable enough to do it with honor.
Today, I'm joined by two of the most decorated and recognized US military veterans, Rob O'Neill and Dakota Meyer to talk about what it takes to master your toughest battles. We talk about harnessing the gift of our strengths, why there can be no accountability in your life without conflict, what it means to have true integrity, the de-humanization of war and what it's like to deal with the aftermath, and how to build a lasting legacy.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:
- People do stuff that's special all the time
- Living life on your own terms
- Don't confuse "speaking your mind" with "being an asshole"
- If everything is racist, nothing is racist
- Social media is a Trojan horse for cowards
- Humanizing the enemy
- The dichotomy between wanting to serve and wanting to be left alone
- Defining your lasting legacy
- A lot more grace needs to be afforded in society
- Military members running for office

| 0:27.2 | why there can be no accountability whatsoever in your life without conflict. What it means to have |
| 0:32.5 | true integrity, also the dehumanization of war and what it's like to deal with that in the aftermath, |
| 0:38.7 | and also how to build a lasting legacy. You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest, |

| 1:33.4 | at once. I can't think of more than maybe one or two times we've done that in the past. I've got |
| 1:39.6 | Rob O'Neill and Dakota Meyer here today, and I'll get into that in just a minute. Before we do, |
| 1:45.9 | just want to mention that we did that big iTunes rating and review giveaway. I want to thank you |
| 1:53.2 | for all the support on that. I think we got over 800 reviews. Some were right in there. Maybe it was |
