Man the world would be a much better place if people shared the same mindset of sticking to their values vs. sacrificing everything to chase the money.

Long time fan. Took a lot of tips and inspiration from the pod. Launched my business last weekend and already made my first sales. Even followed the guys advice on copy and landing pages and it seems to be working so far. Thanks guys

[@krisb-travel]

Congrats, what was the copy and landing page advice?

Huge fan of Jack - met him at a book signing in Winter Park, FL. Extremely humble and down to earth. Shared a lot of stories as he was filming with Chris Pratt at the time. Took time with each person for the signing, talking and taking pictures. Just an awesome dude.

[@AlaskaJiuJitsu]

Great episode @Sam Parr!

[@MrOcean419]

A great addition to the podcast. The part where he explained how he approached those serving when it came to staying in or getting out of the service hit home. In my humble opinion, his time enlisted strengthened his character and integrity.

[@leadgenjay]

Understanding the psychology of commitment and consistency can be a game-changer

Awesome episode!! Thanks for sharing. He sure loves to write amazing books :)

Love Jack!! 🤘😎

[@TheHabitFactor]

Wild! 🙌 great show men! i was directed to listen... Love that both Sam and Jack keyed on the idea of the Misoji (spelling? min 35-40ish) the impetus of The Habit Factor (book and app) was a 32 Mile, open-ocean Catalina Classic paddleboard race - it emanated from that experience and event... and taught something very peculiar at the time - habit tracking - as a means for goal achievement! The first book to publish such an absurd idea ; ) Ha! The Pressure Paradox (2015) followed up on the idea of PRESSURE (an external environmental force) as the crucial element for metamorphosis - one's personal transformation! Anyway, great job again and figured worth sharing background as both books address this key discussion/concept. Cheers!

[@FreeMindNetworkPodcast]

Thank you for sharing your story Jack.

[@peteweishaupt]

Great interview.

Thanks Sam! Just bought the first book

Love this! Genuine guy! Did it for love not money! ❤❤ Well done Sam from Sam 😊

Jack Carr has the background to support his true masculinity. Thanks for the video! Watch Jason Salyer with On Three. He has a lot of retired Special Ops speaking and or doing survival challenges with him on his channel. It is very motivating. He recently did a video “Top 10 Skills Every Man Should Master”. It should be shown to all young boys. Thanks for your service Jack Carr!

[@theanthonyrrmillsshow3876]

Sam Parr and Jack Carr should co-author a book together, they have the names to do it!

Sam..."meat eater"? Lol nice, or maybe too raw. P.s Misogi is really retelling of "Orpheus".

Sorry Sarah, Sam found something that excites himself more than you

[@shoaibriz]

Nice guy but his statement about winning in Afghanistan and Iraq is laughable.

[@tomascardenasg]

Maybe I’m wrong, but not sure that can be said considering his involvement on an individual basis
