178: Free Markets, Finding Purpose, and Forging Fitness | Sal Di Stefano

August 14, 2018 //  by Ryan Michler

There is so much to talk about in the world today but very few people who are capable of having an intelligent conversation about some sensitive subjects without completely losing their minds.

Today, I am joined again by my friend, Sal Di Stefano to talk about a lot of these hot and polarizing topics including how technology is changing conversation, the moral implications of markets and governments, how important it is that fathers are in the home, the legalization of drugs, the shift towards nihilism, and everywhere in between.

“Personal responsibility gives you purpose and meaning. It’s empowering. And, without it, you live a potential life of nihilism and depression.” Tweet That— Sal Di Stefano

Sal Di Stefano

Sal Di StefanoSal Di Stefano is back for round two.

He is someone that I’ve gotten to know over the past couple of years. We’ve been able to connect because we agree on a lot of the same issues and are extremely interested in having important and relevant dialogue on topics most people shy away from.

Sal is the co-founder of MindPump Media. He’s spent nearly 20 years as a fitness and personal trainer and focused science and truth to the fitness industry.

Although we only talk about fitness and nutrition towards the end of this conversation, it’s apparent that Sal is someone who strives to find objective truth in all facets of life and prides himself and sharing that truth with others.

“Decentralization improves efficiency tremendously.” Tweet That— Sal Di Stefano

Show Highlights

  • The power of decentralization
  • How technology is changing conversations
  • The importance of embracing immerging technology
  • The problems with formal higher education
  • How free markets allocate resources effectively and efficiently
  • Why policy needs to be enacted based on data, not feelings
  • The moral implications of markets and governments
  • How minimum wage requirements price out entry-level workers
  • How the rejection of personal responsibility leads to nihilism
  • How money fixed the problem found in voluntary trade
  • The dangers inherently found in “equality of outcome”
  • How market specialization creates more productive results
  • The slippery slope of enacting laws to protect you from yourself
  • The negative and positive impact of legalizing drugs
  • How important it is that fathers are in the home
  • How children become a powerful source of purpose and direction for fathers
  • How and why every man needs to find purpose and direction in life
  • How your self-help journey should start in the gym
  • How intermittent fasting can benefit you in all aspects of your life
  • The slippery slope of enacting laws to protect you from yourself
  • The importance of nutrition in your health overhaul

“The worst people to spend money are the ones who bear no consequence for losing it, and didn’t earn it.” Tweet That— Sal Di Stefano

Order of Man Store

I don’t talk about it a whole lot but if you don’t already know, Order of Man has a store where you can pick up all kinds of gear and merchandise.

We just came out with our new Jiu-Jitsu rashguard by Origin Maine. We’ve got half a dozen hats, several shirts (including some new ones to be released in the coming weeks), patches, decals, and a whole lot more.

As you know, we don’t do a whole lot of advertising on this show (only the companies I already work with) so, if you feel so inclined, picking up some Order of Man gear is a great way to support the cause and mission of reclaiming masculinity.

Head to store.orderofman.com to see what’s available. Again, that’s store.orderofman.com.

“The burden of responsibility always sits squarely with the individual.” Tweet That— Sal Di Stefano
