Contrary to these psychopathic mass shooters who believe it's society's fault first and that they are the narcissistic purveyors of truth who will solve these problems via destruction and terror.   I believe gratitude plays a role in all of this as well...  Allow me to give my thoughts on what I am grateful for... and how my gratitude mantras help me when I feel down in the dumps with my first world problems!

Episode 2 - NAPOLEON HILL & SEX TRANSMUTATION In this episode... We talk some shit about Napoleon Hill, the famous author of one of the best selling self-help books, Think & Grow Rich. We specifically dive into Chapter 11... The Mystery of Sex Transmutation. Allow me to summarize Mr. Hill's definition and viewpoints of sex transmutation and relate it to some epiphanies in my life as well. Mr. Hill highlights that as a society we have shifted into a much more nonchalant view of sex... nothing more than a meaningless physical act, undermining the powerful emotional aspects it holds. Overindulgence of sex has consequences... just as detrimental as narcotics and alcohol. Practicing self-control and transmuting this energy into more productive habits will avoid the pitfalls of overindulgence and manifest into untapped creative abilities towards success. Also, harnessing this sexual energy with a specific woman in mind, can be and has been extremely potent for successful men all throughout history. much to unpack... hopefully worth exploring and enjoying! Yours truly. -Travis Masterbone

What can we learn from Don Draper and how does loneliness play a role? Tackling our inner demons seems like a much healthier option versus running from them. Let's dissect Mr. Draper and see if we can correlate some shit to our own lives and do our best not to follow in his mishaps. Much to unpack... hopefully worth exploring and enjoying!
