Pat Flynn on Inequality, Egalitarianism, and Human Flourishing

Published: Aug. 21, 2020, 10 a.m.

This episode of the podcast isn\u2019t your standard health and fitness fare.

\n

Instead, it\u2019s about living well beyond fitness, and more specifically, a concept Pat Flynn refers to as \u201cflourishing.\u201d

\n

Pat Flynn is a repeat guest not only because I enjoy our conversations, but I\u2019ve gotten great feedback from listeners who like hearing about these deeper, philosophical topics we dive into.

\n

In case you\u2019re not familiar with Pat, not only is he a fitness expert who is known for his kettlebell prowess, but he\u2019s also a podcaster, philosopher, and author who just released a book titled \u201cHow to Think About God,\u201d a metaphysical and spiritual journey all about the philosophy behind this foundational belief.

\n

While I\u2019m not a philosopher, I do have an interest in ideas I can use to improve my life and that I can share with other people to make their lives better as well. Plus, I always enjoy my conversations with Pat, and in this episode, we discuss several topics and questions listeners have been asking me, including \u2026
