085: Conclave of Warriors with Rafa Conde
In December 2018, I attended the first annual Conclave of Warriors event in Miami, Florida. This event included the top businessmen and military leaders today, gathered together by former Wall Street Stockbroker turned Law Enforcement Officer, Rafa Conde. During his time as a Police Officer, he noticed a disturbing trend of men who lacked confidence, courage, and discipline which led him to create the Man of War Podcast. Recording might be from couple years ago, but the message still rings true today.
