I Am A Spear - The Caskey Interview
Explicit content warning
07/11/22 • 46 min
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.

How the Tiger Opened His Third Eye
"Violence is not a god to be worshipped but a fundamental reality of the universe, a constant that one must recognize and respect if one is to achieve true enlightenment."
People who don't understand the primacy of violence in human interactions are, collectively, some of the most dangerous people alive -- because their delusion causes them to make foolish choices that put others in danger.
I explored the reality of violence in my most widely-read essay, "Violence is Golden."

This year, I wanted to present those ideas in a new way, so I wrote this fable about a tiger seeking true enlightenment.
You can find the full text of the fable on my web site.
