Hello, everyone, Chris Martinson of Peak Prosperity here.

Very, very special guest today.

We have John LaVelle, the CEO of the Warrior Poet Society.

He is a homesteader.

He is a firearms trainer.

He is a public speaker.

He's a very successful businessman.

And he is an author.

He is the author of this book, which we are going to be discussing today.

The Warrior Poet Way, a Guide to Living Free and Dying Well.

I'm very excited.

I've been reading this, and it's just a fabulous book.

And he's got a big YouTube channel, but he's also got a show now, the John Lavel show,

showing up at a URL, which

we will supply to you down below. So, John, thank you so much for being here today. Can't

wait to have this conversation. Now, I'm looking forward to it as well, Chris. Thanks for having me on.

Well, let's start here. First video I could find a year, seven years ago, five shots in under two seconds that's where you

started now you know um 1.39 million followers there on on youtube if we're just looking at that

i know that's not the be all end all but i'm interested in your progression where did you start

where do you see yourself now and um what sort of, obviously a lot of things have come to

fruition along the way. I'm really interested in your arc here. Sure. So I started off more in the

tactical training space. I was a former door kicker and action guy abroad for military stuff and uh jumped around a bunch in my life.
