In this episode, Doug speaks with Kamran Loghman about how the ‘Warriors Mindset’ from eastern philosophy can be brought into the work and lives of people in the West.

In a world that worships comfort, distraction, and cheap dopamine, we stand for something ancient.

This isn’t your typical pep-talk on grit. It’s a deep dive into the timeless warrior mindset—drawn from the stoic sword of Japan’s samurai, the disciplined breath of India’s yogis, and the still waters of Zen monks.

We decode Eastern philosophies—Bushido, Taoism, Buddhist detachment—and forge them into practical, hard-hitting tools for Western living. No incense required. No chanting in Sanskrit you don’t understand. Just fierce mental clarity, emotional discipline, and the quiet, sovereign confidence of someone who knows who they are and what hill they’d die on.

Each episode arms you with a principle or story, then translates it into daily, actionable strategy—whether you’re building a business, navigating love, or fighting your own inner chaos.

Because true strength isn’t found in the gym or the boardroom. It’s in the mind.
