A raucous video podcast about the manly art of manliness: “It’s not growth if it’s not painful.”

Urf. I don’t hate it that I make enemies. I’ve done that all my life. I do wish, though, that I made better enemies – men who are actually capable of following through on their enmity. I am sitting on the powder keg that will enflame all of Western Civ, and I can’t even incite enough anger to get the match struck.

Oh, well. Vita brevis, ars longa. I’m terrible at waiting, but waiting is what I got.

Meanwhile, here’s a wonderful video made at the tail end of The 21 Convention in Tampa in October of 2013. There are two more videos of me to come from this extravaganza – an interview with Marilee Ellis and my one-hour presentation on deploying DISC to improve your empathy strategies – but apparently the petty slights for those movies are still being composed.

This was huge fun. There’s a good highlight from me at around the 17:00 mark, how actually to be your ideal man. And I’m worth seeing again at the very end, as a bookend to the quote that began this post.

Friends or enemies, here’s to manlier men!
