00:00:00.000 yes hello everyone this is piero san giorgio i'm very happy today to have as a guest
00:00:09.200 marcus follin is that good pronunciation yes it is also known as the golden one big channel
00:00:17.680 on youtube and on internet and i'm very pleased today to to host you marcus for
00:00:23.840 your excellent book that came out um dauntless which uh has a great subtitle which is a handbook
00:00:33.360 for the quests for enlightenment and glory i love that i actually bought you were kind enough to send
00:00:40.320 me one and i was so much like that i bought another one for my son for my two sons now and i also
00:00:48.720 got which i think is great i was wearing it today because it was cold this morning
00:00:54.080 your amazing hoodie with perseus i challenged my kids i said do you know who that is and say
00:01:02.160 well of course it's perseus with a medusa so that was good and um it's high quality well done and
00:01:08.880 there's a lot of other nice uh merchandise that you have on your website which i'll put the link below
00:01:15.280 but let's talk about your book why a book what led you to to write this excellent book yes first and
00:01:23.200 foremost thank you for um the kind words and nice to see the the perseus and medusa and glad that your
00:01:29.280 sons are um could could identify it it's uh it's a glorious uh myth indeed uh so basically i i of course
00:01:38.160 i live in sweden uh and for a long time i've been averse to the swedish regime then of course i
00:01:45.200 understood that it's not only in sweden it's uh all of the west all of europe basically that um
00:01:53.840 many young men are basically being lied to in so many different ways of course i've talked a lot
00:02:00.080 about these issues in um on my youtube channel in videos uh but i wanted to have one place where i had
00:02:07.440 all of my teachings so to speak all of my thoughts all of my advice in one place and that was sort of
00:02:14.400 a way for me to uh help a lot of people because when i see many things happening uh to take an example
00:02:22.960 if i see um a young man being completely out of shape because he is um yeah he doesn't take care of
00:02:30.240 himself and i see he's unhappy he is um he has a low self-confidence he uh yeah he doesn't doesn't
00:02:39.200 like himself um so i thought to myself how can i how can i help um many of these men many of these young
00:02:48.240 guys um then i thought to myself okay i'm gonna write a book and this is sort of the book i would wish i
00:02:56.800 had read when i was 15 or something uh because many of these things no one is saying them uh unless
00:03:03.600 of course you look you all throughout the internet but i wanted to have one physical copy where everyone
00:03:08.720 could just get the the basics on um on how to survive and thrive in the modern world so everything from
00:03:15.520 training to relationships to um yeah i even quote your book i talk about your book about survivalism
00:03:22.080 all of these different things that you know no one in in school is going to tell you about
00:03:26.720 survivalism at least not in sweden they're not going to tell you about the um negative effects of
00:03:33.200 poor diet or anything like that it's just other things you learn so i thought yeah i'm gonna write
00:03:39.280 it and have this as my my um contribution to to restoring uh order to the west yes i must say that it's um
00:03:49.520 um you know you i'm much older than you i'm 49 and um i was uh when i when i read the book i was
00:03:58.640 excited to read of course and i was not expecting much i was i was saying okay so you know you're a
00:04:04.240 successful youtuber you have um very much success in how you manage your own body which is already
00:04:11.040 something more successful than what i do but certainly certainly it was inciting so i didn't know what to
00:04:16.720 expect and as i started to read i saw that uh every and first of all let me say that it's not hard to
00:04:24.720 read because a lot of young people who may watch this they they are scared of reading books because
00:04:30.000 in school we're not trained anymore to read the big books and and read fast it's fast to read because
00:04:36.640 every topic is in one sort of small chapter or big paragraph and uh and everyone teaches
00:04:45.760 it encompasses everything that a young young man could need in life from how you train what you should
00:04:52.960 eat um how you should behave yourself even how you should dress and look and uh how to um
00:05:00.640 um uh you know think in a way and how you structure your your thoughts of course you give some of your
00:05:08.880 opinions as well but i thought that it is very complete and i was surprised that there was there
00:05:14.800 is so much information in in a what is relatively a short and quick to read book which is a which is
00:05:20.640 really great because um as we know young people they're not trained to read anymore maybe they go through
00:05:26.080 school they read one or two books whereas my in my time you had to read maybe 500 and in my parents
00:05:32.800 time you had to read 5 000 i'm exaggerating maybe maybe maybe a thousand books throughout your your
00:05:39.280 school years and and now this is um this is complete and um would you say that today young people are are
00:05:49.600 are lost they're not finding anyone no fathers no government telling them the wholeness of life
00:05:55.840 which goes from body to mind yeah yeah definitely so that was one of the reasons as well that i i am
00:06:04.080 of course angry at many of the things see and angry at i'm a bit sad myself as well that i didn't have
00:06:13.200 anyone telling me when i was 15 but then again many things so i'm i'm 31 now by the way uh but a lot of
00:06:20.960 these things they weren't public knowledge um 15 years ago such a thing as porn consumption no one
00:06:28.160 really knew it was that bad 15 years ago so no one told me when i was 17 that you know you shouldn't
00:06:35.200 watch this because it's bad no one told me that uh same thing when it comes to a lot of dietary advice
00:06:41.280 you know you had during the 80s this anti-fat um propaganda campaign uh mostly from the sugar
00:06:49.520 industry uh and of course i'm born in 89 so i have grown up uh during the 90s also with um you know
00:06:57.440 i had a quite good diet growing up but in retrospect what i will do different with my children is that
00:07:02.880 they will get a lot more meat a lot more uh animal fats etc um so i'm i'm sort of angry at many of the
00:07:12.000 the lies i've grown up with or perhaps not lies but the the lack of information um same thing if we're
00:07:18.560 talking about the relationship between men and women of course in in feminist sweden you have a
00:07:24.080 completely different um uh attitude from school and from culture which you know if many young men they
00:07:31.520 hear that you should be in a certain way and then women react very poorly to it because they want 1.00
00:07:37.520 something completely different but that's something completely different it's something older men need 0.82
00:07:43.760 to tell these younger men uh because otherwise otherwise they might go out and you have a completely
00:07:50.480 different um view of women uh that won't lead anywhere productive so and also of course if you look on 0.76
00:08:01.520 role models from culture from hollywood etc it's you know degenerate rappers or whatever it might be
00:08:09.600 and they don't really they aren't really good role models at all so i do i've tried to be at least
00:08:15.760 somewhat um it might sound a bit arrogant to say it but i've tried at least and uh if i could give some
00:08:23.120 direction in uh in some regards it's what i've tried to do both of course on youtube and other social
00:08:30.320 media but but also in the book so um that's also want to get you know a handbook that is to the
00:08:36.320 point uh because a lot of other uh many other authors uh they want uh they want to uh elaborate on um
00:08:45.360 on a new way of thinking uh and not much as what to do and this is of course something you do well in your
00:08:52.000 book as well that you you give actual advice you give actual hands-on advice that you can incorporate
00:08:57.840 so that's also something i try to do with dauntless that okay i read this and i can directly incorporate
00:09:03.280 it into my life so it's not only a new ideology or a new philosophy for whatever
00:09:11.840 in fact when i when i also when i read the book i found that um contrary to what our enemies might
00:09:18.400 uh might expect or might say about you and the same as me is that they try to depict you and me or people like us as extremists
00:09:25.840 as extremists but when i read the book and when i read the advice because the book is much more
00:09:30.560 powerful long term than a video on youtube because on a book you can think a long time before you write
00:09:37.440 a sentence and you can choose the words whereas on youtube sometimes you say things um either with
00:09:43.600 humor or a bombastic way to make an impression and and that's all fine but in the book you have to be more
00:09:50.320 careful writing things that can be used against you perhaps so so you have to be careful and i thought
00:09:55.680 and i thought that in your book whether it's about um you know ethnicities race uh religion uh nationalism
00:10:05.120 things like that for example they are extremely um balanced i think they are very wise they're not
00:10:14.000 provocative it's a very uh and i i i i found that there i even took notes from one of my next books
00:10:22.080 and um and it is very much not common sense because it's not common anymore but it's good sense it is
00:10:31.120 it is what you should you should not be an extremist you should not be a radical in the sense or maybe you
00:10:37.040 should be radical in how you think but definitely how you express that thought it comes out as very
00:10:42.960 balanced and very respectful and um at the same time you know um and this is perhaps a difference
00:10:50.720 between the the swedish mind and my italian okay now it's swiss mind but certainly there is more rigidity
00:10:58.400 and i think that people from more southern europe like me they look high to rigidity because we are more
00:11:06.240 flexible in sometimes and i think in today's world flexibility has been a problem because we accepted
00:11:14.720 too much things doing compromises and and as a man myself in my life i i find out now that i need more
00:11:21.840 rigidity because i made too many compromises and in fact this is this is the point that balance is in fact
00:11:29.360 the fruit of not doing compromises especially with yourself what what do you think because i think
00:11:35.920 this is comes out of your book a lot what do you think of that yeah so basically i i would agree that
00:11:41.840 much of the especially the philosophy part and the politics part of the book they are common sense uh but
00:11:49.200 it's just that we live in such um such a clown world at the moment that common sense is being seen as
00:11:56.400 extremist extremist so when i write when i wrote the book and when i promote my
00:12:03.760 my insights etc i i'd never try to be um you know reactionary in that sense i always try to have
00:12:11.600 my worldview based on myself so even if they say oh you are uh an extremist i don't listen to them i
00:12:18.560 don't want to play into their stereotype of what i should be because i see this quite often that
00:12:24.240 primarily younger guys they say oh they're gonna call us extremists or fascists anyway so therefore
00:12:31.200 we might as well be super extreme but that's letting them that's letting the enemy dictate the
00:12:37.600 pace for us so for me it's just my views a lot of it is common sense it is something you could say to
00:12:45.120 um regular man 70 years ago 100 years ago 200 years ago a thousand years ago and he would say yeah of
00:12:52.240 course of course of course it's completely natural to put your own family first of course it's only
00:12:57.280 natural to look out for your local communities to support your local economy to um to have you know
00:13:05.120 to take responsibility for your family to be a man among men to be a good uh father figure etc it's just
00:13:13.280 today that it's so you know fathers are vilified uh so if you look on parents magazines it's uh nowadays you
00:13:21.840 don't often see a father especially not a white father um so for me it's sort of like um you know
00:13:29.040 going back to basics just promoting common sense and saying with a voice of um yeah a clear voice
00:13:35.840 saying you know what you're you're not it's not strange to believe in these things it's completely
00:13:40.720 natural it's completely normal so uh yeah that's my uh that's my take on the the extremist question it's um
00:13:49.040 we are the normal ones they are the extreme ones no i agree and unfortunately they the the these
00:13:57.600 people who have very strong ideology they have taken control of uh the universities in the 1920s
00:14:04.640 and 1930s and and it's been worsening since then somewhere in the 70s they took control of popular
00:14:13.120 culture then they took control of the schools uh of the kindergartens now and um and now they can
00:14:20.640 force their agenda even if in numbers they represent a very tiny portion of the population and so because
00:14:27.840 the whole education system from cradle to the grave in fact because it encompasses everything uh is
00:14:36.720 representing of of a very strange and special sick mind i think and called sick culture we need to have 1.00
00:14:47.120 education in parallel to re-educate to re-learn retrain re-teach things to young people and in your book
00:14:55.440 you put a lot of effort a lot of emphasis on the effort that people need to do for self-discipline
00:15:03.120 and uh and and this is i was not surprised by that because knowing how much you you practice sports
00:15:10.480 and i do practice sports on on a much lower level but certainly i know uh how much discipline you need
00:15:16.880 to wake up every morning do what you need to do take the time and have an objective to have for some
00:15:24.160 people it's a it's a beautiful and nice body for others it's a functional and healthy or it can be all
00:15:29.360 together how does your background in um fitness and and and and culturism i don't know how you call
00:15:38.080 that certainly you do kickboxing and and and tie boxing and i think uh how that self-discipline that
00:15:44.720 you learned for sports how do you see it uh being used for everyday life for everyday people
00:15:52.720 yeah so so first and foremost i think the um what many uh many younger men they are something they're
00:16:02.240 lacking and the lack of it creates um unhappiness so they lack direction they lack goals they lack
00:16:10.000 something to strive for so they go around not really knowing what to aim for so they take every day as it
00:16:16.160 is uh but i understand now that the the lack of adventure the lack of struggle the lack of a higher
00:16:24.960 goal to strive towards it's it's making them unhappy so therefore they compensate by doing a lot of
00:16:30.080 different things it might be drugs it might be excessive um video game playing or it might be something that
00:16:38.000 isn't really congruent with a long-term happiness so when you have the the quest for physical
00:16:46.000 excellence it might be getting better at tie boxing it might be getting physically more muscular it
00:16:54.080 might be even if you have someone who's running in the forest he might want to get a better time
00:16:59.840 a time around the lap for example as long as you have something to strive to watch you will have that
00:17:04.560 sense of being on a quest and that will be you know will give purpose to you uh so that is actually
00:17:12.560 one of the first things i understood when i looked upon other other young men uh over yeah this last
00:17:19.760 10 years i saw they are you know something is missing and i think that is it uh and you don't really see it
00:17:27.840 with with men who have their own companies they have that drive they have that fire but for a lot of
00:17:34.960 especially young men when they don't have that when they're just drifting um i think
00:17:40.480 uh a lot of unhappiness uh and other detrimental behaviors come from it and in regards to the
00:17:47.760 discipline aspect when you have when you start going to the gym for example it's like a big piece
00:17:54.880 of the puzzle is being placed and then smaller pieces are being placed um there as well such as
00:18:01.200 sleep uh when you go to when you train hard it can be Thai boxing or it can be the gym or or wrestling or
00:18:07.920 whatever it might be uh when you understand that you need a complete um a complete puzzle
00:18:13.760 and sleep is a is an integral part there as well that will come into play then you understand okay
00:18:19.920 diet is a good way so automatically when you start seeing results in the gym when you start seeing
00:18:26.640 that oh can i optimize this can i get better by adjusting lifestyle factors then you start putting all of
00:18:33.760 these um pieces into place uh so that's where uh a good place to start with discipline i'd say it's
00:18:42.880 when you understand that through discipline you will get so many benefits and uh when you get that
00:18:48.560 taste of um well success in in the gym or in uh when you learn new stuff in in a martial arts or
00:18:56.000 whatever it might be when you get that those small victories uh the discipline will come much easier
00:19:01.440 because then you see a direct reward of it so i'd say usually i give the the gym uh as a good
00:19:08.960 starting point because then a lot of different things will uh will fall into place naturally
00:19:15.440 in fact having having good physical exercise and fitness is um is a way to provoke endorphins and
00:19:23.040 hormones that makes you feel good and it's one of the best ways to get out of depression and especially
00:19:30.000 these times where there is a lot of uh uh young people especially who cannot go get out they cannot
00:19:36.400 party and this is a young young young people thing they get depressed they don't see a future because
00:19:43.760 there's no uh horizon out of what is has been happening for a year and a half i cannot even mention because
00:19:50.800 otherwise we get striked um and yet and and definitely sport going going running going fighting going
00:19:59.280 even if you have to do it in your room uh pull-ups uh and so on you and and and and and everything squats
00:20:07.680 and whatever you need to do on your own will make you feel better you just but of course the discipline is hard so
00:20:13.520 uh looking at uh videos uh on the internet of training and and and finding perhaps how you say a
00:20:21.920 role role role models uh people who like you for a lot of young people and and and others can can
00:20:29.600 when i was a kid i used to like watch uh arnold schratzenegger um pumping iron and uh i never i never
00:20:37.200 went to big big muscle development but certainly the discipline that was required was fascinating to
00:20:43.440 me and um and so the these um um i only i just didn't like the the fact that they all were almost
00:20:52.000 half naked around with little i found that to look a bit gay but i understand now it's to show the 0.70
00:20:58.640 muscles obviously but it's a bit it's a bit weird but certainly certainly you you you give in your book
00:21:05.440 that spark what what would be um so i i again we're we are talking about dompeless uh book by marcus
00:21:14.320 fallen the golden one and uh i'll put again the link so that you can order and again the merchandise
00:21:19.760 that is with around the t-shirts that i actually also bought a t-shirt but but i don't have it here
00:21:25.200 but the the hoodie is is amazing and it's actually it's very warm because here in the farm we have nice
00:21:31.520 spring days in the during the day but in the morning at five in the morning when i go out and
00:21:35.920 i walk and i and i check if everything is fine when between five and six i'm certainly outside it's a
00:21:42.080 bit cold and it's very warm one it's not like those thin hoodies that you need a jacket on top this one is
00:21:49.840 is really nice um so i put the link below what would be the the next projects that you have what what is
00:21:57.680 your uh what is uh because you're also you're also a father uh so you're also a family man so you're
00:22:03.760 increasing the qualities to become a full man over time which is it's a lifelong uh exercise what are
00:22:12.560 your next projects yeah so uh first and foremost again thank you for the kind words of the hoodie i'm
00:22:19.280 i'm quite pleased with it myself if i may say so uh so yeah of course a long-term goal is to be a
00:22:25.840 patriarch like yourself with uh with a big family uh so yeah long-term goal uh a bit short-term goal
00:22:32.880 of course a lot of new things for legio gloria so the the clothing i'm rocking a polo shirt here as
00:22:38.880 well uh so that's actually been my main focus ever since a while back since i understood that youtube
00:22:45.440 wasn't really uh yeah being shadow banned etc wasn't really going upwards um as much as i uh you know in
00:22:54.240 relation to the work i put in so i focused more on the clothing as of late uh same thing with the
00:22:59.360 supplement company um and then also i am actually i'm actually writing my second book at the moment
00:23:07.920 so dauntless is yes you know it's more a handbook on many things what to do how you can actively
00:23:16.160 incorporate your um uh certain things in your life and the next book which will hopefully be out
00:23:23.040 later this year it will more deal with the the culture uh and the war on um on our minds so it's
00:23:30.720 more um it's for for people to read it and to be able to better withstand certain cultural influences
00:23:40.640 that might be detrimental so you see many things in culture you always see the um the the white man
00:23:47.920 being bad he's always immoral he's always doing bad stuff you see that continuously repeated in
00:23:54.480 in culture so i i pointed out in the book saying okay look out for this um so that's it's more about
00:24:02.880 the the the mental aspect how to avoid getting into a certain way of thinking because when you do
00:24:10.560 when you start believing that you are yourself you are a bad individual just because of who you are
00:24:17.280 yeah it won't be good for your mental well-being it won't be good for your um quality of life uh and
00:24:24.880 also it goes into the the the broader um political struggle that how how we view ourselves so at the
00:24:33.360 moment this is especially true in in sweden's situation we have been conditioned in our minds
00:24:39.280 to always put others first so it's never about putting your own people first because that's
00:24:45.920 extremist or whatever so i write a lot about you know trying to re reconfigure our minds to to believe
00:24:54.080 that it's just as it was up until very recently it's normal and good it's moral to to put your own
00:25:00.880 family first uh so that's uh it's sort of like a compliment to dauntless but i talk more about
00:25:07.280 culture the the mental aspect how to rewire uh the way you think so uh yeah that's the the next project
00:25:16.320 interesting i certainly will look forward to to read it perhaps one last question in your book you give
00:25:22.880 a lot of emphasis on the importance of brotherhood of having uh good friends you can rely on and you can
00:25:30.720 train with train ways and so on and in today's world of uh high individualism and uh fragmentation
00:25:39.440 of societies into little groups into individual pleasures on the internet and entertainment and
00:25:46.480 and so on um we do not find at all the brotherhood the friendships that we could have in past generations
00:25:55.920 and um you you you put emphasis on on building that how would you proceed for all the young men that
00:26:04.560 listen to us and listen to you what would advise would you tell them on how to recreate because it's
00:26:10.560 not easy to to you know you cannot just go to someone and say hi do you want to be friend
00:26:14.800 how how how do you see is the most efficient and effective way to find real good loyal people that
00:26:22.720 you can be good and loyal to as well and and then create this brotherhood yeah it's a very good question
00:26:29.360 i i get the question quite often actually from guys and uh the the general advice which i give and also um
00:26:37.440 male friendship is supremely important and i do believe that um the enemy uh so to speak they they
00:26:45.280 do their best to to dismantle uh male friendship and again if we're talking about culture you often see
00:26:53.360 male friendship being portrayed as uh maybe something gay or maybe something uh it's it's seen as
00:27:02.320 something um they're trying to dismantle it and that's a good sign for us that okay male friendship
00:27:07.280 it is important and it has always been important and it will be important going forward as well
00:27:12.160 and not only for mental well-being but because if we want to you know create good change groups of men
00:27:17.840 men rebund uh friendships it's uh very important and to respond to your question i'd say that
00:27:25.360 the the way you conduct yourself is what you will attract so if you want to attract in terms of friendship
00:27:32.560 other men with similar qualities you first need to you know build yourself up and then you will
00:27:38.720 give out a certain aura you will shine like a light uh and others will see you see okay this guy is
00:27:45.600 interested in in training in um in whatever it might be uh different things he might be interested in in
00:27:54.960 history in culture in art in improving himself he might like martial arts he might like all of these
00:28:01.600 these different things because they usually go together uh a certain type of man will be
00:28:06.880 interested in in certain type of types of things so good places to to find of course universities they
00:28:13.840 are a bit dominated by uh left wing uh individuals but uh you can still find good people and then it's
00:28:22.480 especially important if you if you carry yourself in a certain manner people will spot you i talk a lot
00:28:29.360 about physiognomy that you can look on someone and see okay is this guy uh is he on our side usually
00:28:36.240 it's true uh not only you know you can look on on someone how if they carry themselves in a good way
00:28:43.120 uh if they take care of themselves you can see if they're healthy usually you can see the glow in
00:28:47.360 their face uh as opposed to people who are not on our side who are often very sickly looking very frail
00:28:56.320 very different so it's good to spot each other like that uh and you know the aura you present so
00:29:03.440 the first step is to to build yourself into someone you would like to be friends with and then you will
00:29:08.800 automatically attract uh similar like-minded people it's worked uh very well for me at least over all these
00:29:15.920 years that you know automatically you end up in similar situations to i mean we're having this
00:29:21.360 conversation now uh because of yeah you give out a certain aura i give out a certain aura we find
00:29:26.960 each other so um so yeah that's a a good way to start at least with yourself and uh you know you will
00:29:33.920 attract like-minded uh people eventually excellent well marcus thank you very much i advise again everyone
