We Fight Monsters
Creating content about literal or metaphorical monsters. Sharing my views on philosophy, movies, books, masculinity, the warrior code, politics, faith and more. Interviewing First Responders, Serving & Veteran Military Personnel, TV Personalities & World Record Holders, Elite Sportspeople.
WE FIGHT MONSTERS. I'm not afraid of anything in this world that's been seen. I have scars on the inside. My badges of honor. There's a light inside my heart; it's for others to see. I live to show the way to those lost and in pain. And you? Walk with magnificence. Cock of the walk. Lead the way or follow those who use their pain to fight monsters and the injustices in this world.
BECOME A BETTER PERSON. I believe that life is comprehensible and has a purpose for each of us through a personal development of the Whole Man concept. I promote the idea of becoming the Man of Action, Man of Intellect, Man of Emotion, and the Man of Spirit. I promote the idea of being just, temperate, prudent, hopeful, faithful and strong. I speak with people who share their knowledge and experiences with you on how to fight back against literal and figurative monsters. I ask that you never give up and be less than you should be. I promote being leaders and students. Roll with me.

M2 | MEDITATION: Gran Torino, Highlander, Men and Mentors in life and in film
“The best teacher makes himself unnecessary to his students.”~Michael Kurcina
The story of Mentor comes from within the ancient Greek story of Odysseus. Odysseus, the Ithacan king, goes off to fight in the Trojan war and entrusts the care of his home to Mentor. Mentor serves in a two-part capacity to Odysseus’ son, Telemachus; he is a steward of the home and a teacher as well to Odysseus’ son Telemachus. The goddess Athena assumes Mentor’s form, many times in the story, and dispenses advice to both father and son; Telemachus and Odysseus. Today the name mentor is used for someone who is a trusted advisor, friend, teacher and wise person. The word mentor is sometimes used interchangeably with the word coach but they are not the same thing. Highly productive student to mentor relationships in history: Hayden to Beethoven, Freud to Jung, Archimedes mentor to Galileo, Socrates to Plato, and Johann von Staupitz was a mentor to Martin Luther. Major General Fox Conner was a model Army mentor. Conner served as a mentor to Eisenhower. Action: Become a mentor to someone. If you are already a mentor keep doing so. If you are micromanaging someone maybe it’s time to stop doing that. Make yourself nothing special. Communicate the unknowable until it becomes knowable; have a plan, knowledge, faith and time. Watch people grow without your guidance.
