Art of Manliness Podcast #71: Engineering the Alpha with John Romaniello | The Art of Manliness

Originally published June 2014. In this episode I talk to fitness expert, bodybuilder, and business consultant John Romaniello about his book Man 2.0: Engineering the Alpha. If you haven’t already, check out the guest post John wrote for us last year on the Hero’s Journey. Show Highlights: How John went from the chubby 8th grader who’d rather play Dungeons and Dragons than sports, to being on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s advisory board (John still plays D&D too!). How John defines “alpha” in his book, Man 2.o. How Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey can help you become a better man. Why hormone optimization is so important to your fitness and health. How intermittent fasting can help you get leaner AND stronger. How eating 14,000 calories of ice cream in one sitting can help you lose fat. Ways to increase testosterone. Why being dogmatic when it comes to fitness is stupid. And much more! Just so you know, John uses some salty language in this podcast. So it’s not a good choice for listening to with your kids, or if you don’t like profanity yourself.
