It might be a good idea to explain what a polyman actually is before I start doing lots of videos around being one eh? Well in this video I touch upon some key concepts as I overview how I came up with the word "polyman".
In essence:
He is zen. He is fun. One with himself, and one with the world -- he is a servant of others, and master of himself. The leader that inspires and protects, not orders and attacks. The peaceful warrior. The superior man. He aspires to create the best life(style) for others and himself, and will not tolerate mediocrity. With ridiculously high standards yet no expectations, he also knows there are times when 'good enough' is perfect, and 80/20 is effective.
He is unapologetically masculine, and goes for what he wants without concern for approval. He is understanding and compassionate, yet he will say what needs to be heard, rather than what one wants to hear. He makes no excuses, and accepts no one else's either. He lives with integrity and honesty in the face of ridicule and punishment. He is afraid, very afraid -- yet has the courage to face it anyways.
The polyman is a paradox; an absence of duality. He lives his purpose. He is a real man.
You come across really well in all your videos - articulate, natural, and not full of yourself.

@bristolwelsher Awesome, thank you very much for the kind words, it's encouraging. This is my first time doing this kind of thing, so I'm still finding my balance. I hope to improve and refine my presentation as the series progresses!
