This story is based on the archetypes and concepts explored in Donovan's 2021 book, Fire in the Dark.
https://amzn.to/2QYo5vG
The Father god-archetype, The Creator of Order, integrates sky father gods that have recurred in myths over and over across time and around the world.
The Striker god-archetype, The Champion of Order, integrates the myths of warrior gods and heroes -- from Apollo the Far-Striker to the Strikers that particularly inspired this video, the Maruts from the Rig Veda.
The Striker Thunderbolt symbol seen in the video represents two crossed thunder weapons, meant to evoke both Zeus’ keraunos and Indra’s vajra. They extend outward like spear points from the ordered center — the sun, the fire, the sacred point of orientation from which all hierarchies of values emanate. The sharpened tips of the thunderbolts face the perimeter to champion order, driven by the primal and eternal masculine virtues of strength, courage, mastery, and honor. This is an insignia of warriors and heroes, of men who summon their own might to overcome physical challenges and physical chaos.

I Am a Spear - The Caskey Interview with Jack Donovan
Caskey is hip-hop artist whose recent album "This Isn't Even My Final Form" topped the iTunes hip-hop charts. Caskey has been a successful artist for 10 years, but recently made some positive life changes. Today, he aims to be a productive and inspiring influence on his fans, on other artists, and on the broader hip-hop community.
Caskey and I connected recently through social media, and I managed to book an interview with him and then go meet him and see one of his shows (he's currently on tour). We talked about fitness, art, poetry, spirituality, and staying focus.
Caskey's energy is infectious, and in a world where everyone seems to want to become a motivational speaker -- right now, the man just can't help it. By the time I was done talking to him, I wanted to go out and take over the world.
To paraphrase "Thus Spake Zarathustra," Caskey went to the mountain with ashes, and now he's coming down into the valley and he’s bringing fire.

Ian Smith - “The Bully’s Going to Keep Coming Back Until You Do Something About It”
Ian Smith is the co-owner of Atilis Gym in New Jersey, which has openly and publicly defied the state's draconian lockdown orders. He and his business partner have been arrested, had their business license pulled, and have been fined over a million dollars. (They’re still being fined over $15,000 a day). He made a decision to take a public stand — because someone had to do it. He’s doing what millions of men are afraid to do, and I think he deserves to be recognized and applauded for it.
We had a really animated conversation about bullies and freedom and masculinity.
Follow Ian on Instagram @iansmithfitness and consider contributing to his legal defense fund.

John Sonmez - "Becoming a Finisher"
John Sonmez is the man behind Bulldog Mindset -- a large and growing community of men working to better themselves physically, socially, and financially. John started out as a nerdy software guy, then worked to become a millionaire, retire at 33, and transform himself mentally and physically. Now he spends a lot of his time coaching other men. I met John recently when he spoke at the @21 Studios convention in Orlando, and he's the real deal. We talked for an hour about philosophy and some of the problems men face today, but one part of the conversation that stood out was his story about "becoming a finisher." A lot of guys have great ideas, but end up leaving a trail of unfinished projects behind them.
