We’re all familiar with the Warrior Archetype. Many men listening to this podcast embody what it means to be a warrior. But if we are exclusively warriors in our approach to life, we can easily overlook the more gentle, meeker virtues that make us well-rounded men.
My guest today is a man intimately familiar with the balance between the lion and the lamb, the warrior and the poet. His name is John Lovell and he is the author of The Warrior Poet Way: A Guide to Living Free and Dying Well. Today, John and I talk about striking the balance between both, how we’re neither exclusively warrior or exclusively poet, how to become not just dangerous in the physical realm but also dangerous in our virtue, how humility heals everything, overcoming a crisis of identity, and why if there is nothing to protect there is no need for men, and the proper time and place for displaying vulnerability.

My guest today is good friend, former Army Ranger, author, and founder of The Warrior Poet Society, John Lovell.
His message of reclaiming masculinity has garnered over 100 million views on various social media platforms. But not only that, this is a man living his message from serving in the 2nd Ranger Battalion, to living as a full-time Christian missionary in Central America, to launching his business and now global movement.
He is a content creator, public speaker, firearms instructor, homesteader, and now you can add author to his already impressive resume with his latest book, The Warrior Poet Way: A Guide to Living Free and Dying Well.

Have you ever had a desire to do and be more in life? Chances are high that you have if you’re listening to this podcast. But with all the self-development nonsense out there, it’s hard to know what exactly you should be doing considering everyone is telling you something different.
You may believe we fall into that camp as well but here’s where I think we’re different. Our life-planning tool, doesn’t tell you what to do, it encourages you to identify for yourself what you think you should do based on your own goals and desires, not mine.
All we’re here to do is give you a framework for helping you identify your goals and work as efficiently as possible in achieving them. And, the good news is that I want to share this tool with you for free.
All you have to do is go to www.orderofman.com/battleready, sign up for our free email series and start working. We’ll guide you but it’s up to you to identify where you want to go and to do the work required. Get signed up at www.orderofman.com/battlready.
