396. Seeking Integrity over Attention with Jimmy Watson The Art of Masculinity
-
- Mental Health
On today’s show, Johnny welcomes Jimmy Watson, a military veteran with the integrity and heart of a lion. Jimmy has seen and been through a lot in his life, which is why when MMA fighter Sean Strickland started spewing negative comments about the military (specifically Navy SEALs), Jimmy stood up for his brothers in the military.
Jimmy is here to talk about what happened, why he said what he did, his history in the military, and why he believes so strongly about the Navy SEALs. The most frustrating part of what Sean Strickland said is his direct influence on the public. What are the actions of this influencer and MMA fighter teaching the youth of America? We are all influencers to a degree, but it’s men like Jimmy (who show integrity, determination, inner, and outer strength) that show us what it means to be masculine.
