179: How to Develop More Grit | Brian Call

We live in a culture of ultimate softness but there seems to be a resurgence of men who understand the value of being tough, resilient, and gritty. These are the men I aspire to be more like because I understand how crucial it is, as Theodore Roosevelt states, to "keep the barbarian virtues."

Today, I am joined by my friend, Brian Call, AKA Gritty, to talk about how hunting and connecting with nature makes you tougher, why we need to learn from the men who have gone before, the role parents play in developing fortitude in their children, and how you can develop more grit.

BRIAN CALL

Gentlemen, today I have the honor of introducing you to my friend, Brian Call.

He is an avid bow hunter and the founder and host of the Gritty Podcast where he talks all things bowhunting and developing more grit.

I've been following him and his work for quite some time now and I finally had the chance to connect with him in this candid interview. What really resonates with me about Brian is his willingness to share not only his victories but his setbacks and how he's managed to overcome them.

I hope you enjoy this powerful conversation with a man I really admire and respect.
