February 14, 2023E238 Two months from parenthood with Erin Finley.
Erin and CJ are now officially two months away from their son's birth, and they've taken this period as an opportunity to reflect on the traits they would like to pass on to him. Mostly, this contemplation has revolved around courage: these soon-to-be parents want their child to be brave in moments of fear, honest when it's inconvenient, and vulnerable when it matters.
They've done their best to exemplify these qualities in how they've faced some of the frustrations that pregnancy brings – instead of hiding them away, and they have chosen to share their experiences as a couple here in this episode.

January 31, 2023E234 Stop the war, but become the warrior.
In this short episode, CJ discusses the difference between studying war and living the warrior's life.
He makes an argument that society has bred a culture of cutting corners to gain certificates, degrees and trophies instead of doing the hard work and learning necessary to gain true skills.
The question is raised as to why these certificates, degrees, and trophies are important if they don't always add value to one's life.
He concludes that it is the hard work and dedication that builds principles of a human being that can survive the internal wars of life.

Key Topics
Why does society focus on trophies and rewards
The importance of taking action and becoming a warrior instead of just studying war
Encouraging you to take initiative by reaching out to other people, attending events, and attacking goals with passion
