They’re just waiting for you to make a little room for them again.\nEd Hinman is a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, an eight-year Marine Corps veteran, and an executive protection specialist at Gavin de Becker & Associates — who left a paved path to chase what he loved, earned a master’s in history, and turned his writing into a career. His book, The Barbarian in You, is built on three pillars every man can reclaim: vigor (physical effort and aliveness), wonder (awe, imagination, meaning), and fellowship (real male connection). In this episode, Ed joins Jon and Will to make a genuinely hopeful case: living well doesn’t take a blown-up life or heroic willpower — it takes intention, a willingness to be the fool, and the courage to trust your own heart. Just showing up, he reminds us, is ninety percent of it.\nIN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:\n1.  The three pillars of a life that flourishes — vigor, wonder, and fellowship — and how to build more of each\n2.  How to make real friendships as a grown man (Ed started a book club that’s thrived for 13 years)\n3.  How to tell a genuine calling from ego — and the simple litmus test that reveals it\n4.  Why filling your own cup lets you give from the overflow, not the reservoir\n5.  How to move through dark seasons — reach for your people, and remember you don’t have to go alone\nMore about Ed Hinman:\n1.  Website and Book - https://www.barbarianinyou.com/\n2.
