Ep. 21: Does Freedom of Speech Still Exist & Should You Watch the News? Grappler’s Soap Dan Bassett

In this episode of the podcast, I sat down with ‘Grappler’s Soap’ founder, Dan Bassett. Dan founded Grappler’s Soap just a couple of years ago, to make a soap that was natural, non-irritating and would keep the skin injections, which are all too common in MMA and BJJ gyms, at bay. I asked Dan how he started up the business and perfected the formula for the soap, as well as wider questions about his journey in the combat sports of mixed martial arts and jujitsu. However the conversation soon began to veer off into discussions on many poignant topics (mostly issues) in society and human living today. We discussed: - Whether you should keep up to date with the news or not, especially regarding the wars and conflicts currently going on in the world. - Whether it is right that figures such as Andrew Tate are being cancelled on social media, whether he is being unjustly targeted, and the impacts of such cases on freedom of speech. - Whether society is becoming victim to the ‘tyranny of the minority’. - Whether breathing techniques such as Wim Hof’s work or not. - How to take care of your physical and mental health. And a whole lot more. Lots of opinions shared on lots of hot topics throughout this episode. Let us know yours in the comments below. This was a very interesting and stimulating discussion. I hope you enjoy and find value in listening to it.
