Welcome to the Ben Greenfield Fitness.com podcast.

We provide you with free exercise, nutrition, weight loss, triathlon and wellness advice

So whether you're an Iron Man triathlete or you're just trying to shed a few pounds,

get ready for non-runner of the mill, cutting edge content from Ben Greenfield Fitness.com.

Hey folks, it's Ben Greenfield and there are a few websites that I subscribe to and read

religiously.

And there's also just a few books that I will actually read more than once.

Now one of the websites that I actually read religiously is called Art of Manliness at

Art of Manliness.com.

And one of the books that I've read not once, not twice, but actually three times in the

past couple of months is called Semper Verilis, which is actually the full title of the

book is a road map to manhood in the 21st century.

The guy who wrote this book and also the guy who founded and runs the website Art of Manliness

is my guest today.

His name is Brett McKay and today he's going to give us a quick primer on the art of being

a man, getting tough and doing hard things.

So Brett, thanks for coming on the call, man.

Hey, thanks for having me.

And for you ladies listening in, my apologies, I promise at some point I'll get a podcast

specifically for you, but in the meantime, just forward this to the dude in your life.

And I'm sure he's going to benefit quite a bit from it.
