Eddie Panting joins me to talk about the privilege of being a combat sports coach, a lifelong student of philosophy, and someone I personally look up to as a mentor and an inspiration. Born in Thunder Bay and raised in Winnipeg, Eddie’s life journey includes time spent in federal prison, a deep commitment to self-mastery, and a passion for combat sports, fitness, and personal growth. We dive into men’s mental health and the stigma around vulnerability, philosophy, horror movies, heavy metal music, video games, conspiracy theories, and what it really takes to turn your life around. This is an honest, wide-ranging conversation about discipline, darkness, and becoming who you’re meant to be.
