Michael and Russell talk about the warrior spirit and how embodying this energy can reshape your entire life. Fresh off an intense MDS (Mastro Defense System) training, they explore the critical difference between survival and combat, challenging men to evolve beyond outdated definitions of masculinity. With a focus on personal power, decision-making, and self-defense, they invite men to step up, embrace their inner warrior, and live with purpose. This is an episode about more than just strength—it's about how to navigate the modern world as an awakened man.
