178: Free Markets, Finding Purpose, and Forging Fitness | Sal Di Stefano

There is so much to talk about in the world today but very few people who are capable of having an intelligent conversation about some sensitive subjects without completely losing their minds.

Today, I am joined again by my friend, Sal Di Stefano to talk about a lot of these hot and polarizing topics including how technology is changing conversation, the moral implications of markets and governments, how important it is that fathers are in the home, the legalization of drugs, the shift towards nihilism, and everywhere in between.

Sal Di Stefano

Sal Di StefanoSal Di Stefano is back for round two.

He is someone that I've gotten to know over the past couple of years. We've been able to connect because we agree on a lot of the same issues and are extremely interested in having important and relevant dialogue on topics most people shy away from.

Sal is the co-founder of MindPump Media. He's spent nearly 20 years as a fitness and personal trainer and focused science and truth to the fitness industry.

Although we only talk about fitness and nutrition towards the end of this conversation, it's apparent that Sal is someone who strives to find objective truth in all facets of life and prides himself and sharing that truth with others.

Order of Man Store

I don't talk about it a whole lot but if you don't already know, Order of Man has a store where you can pick up all kinds of gear and merchandise.

We just came out with our new Jiu-Jitsu rashguard by Origin Maine. We've got half a dozen hats, several shirts (including some new ones to be released in the coming weeks), patches, decals, and a whole lot more.

As you know, we don't do a whole lot of advertising on this show (only the companies I already work with) so, if you feel so inclined, picking up some Order of Man gear is a great way to support the cause and mission of reclaiming masculinity.

Head to store.orderofman.com to see what's available. Again, that's store.orderofman.com.
