And on the other side: ⚠️ How Adolf Hitler, Mike Tyson, and Napoleon Bonaparte rejected peace recklessly and self-destructed. This episode will teach young men that rejecting peace is not about chaos—it’s about purpose. It’s about stepping into the fire for a mission bigger than yourself, developing discipline that keeps you grounded, and knowing when to push… and when to stop. 💬 Ask yourself: What peace am I rejecting to become great? Tap in and learn why the road to greatness is rarely calm—and why real men choose it anyway. Let’s build. Let’s lead. Let’s rise.
