I have been reading Clark Savage’s masterful King of All Things: A Guide to Man’s Martial Purpose.
Clark…would you like to come on the Podcast?
I would love to have you on as a guest of the Pulp Fiction Renaissance Podcast with myself and my co-host, Dr. Breck!
I’m half-way through your book, and I love everything you are saying.
In fact, it seems that you and I are on a similar thought trajectory.
Since 2016, I have made Agon the centerpiece of my worldview, as I was introduced to it by way of James Bond Stockdale in his magnum opus Thoughts of A Philosophical Fighter Pilot.
You can check this out in my flagship article tagged on the site, “The Eagle & The Snake I: The Secret Key to Pulp Fiction”.
But it’s not just in theory that I’ve been interested in this, but also in practice.
Unfortunately, I’ve had a lot of health problems that kept me out of the Devil Dogs and the Mean Green Machine alike…in fact, I didn’t do any kind of physical activity from the ages of 14-20!
However, I decided to turn that around, and became a Personal Trainer, and for the last ten years I have studied and tested the application of training the Body with the eye toward the activities of the Warrior Caste for the past decade.
You can find examples of this in articles here, such as:
In short, we are covering a lot of the same territory…and I would love to bring you on the show to talk about these things!
Give James Lafond a call and he can vouch for me…we’ve known each other for six years, have collaborated together on Season 1 of the Pulp Fiction Renaissance Podcast, and recently me and Dr. Breck had him on for an exclusive episode in Season 2 on swapping Survival Experiences!
We’d love for you to join the party!
If you’re interested, shoot me a text at 509-494-9376, and let’s get the ball rolling!
Sincerely,
Richard Barrett
