 It ain't easy being a dream and building the world's ultimate event for men, but that's not what gets me the girls. It's the soap. Which soap? Soap me up, baby. Tactical soap. The world's ultimate soap for men. I have a favorite. Proud Channel sponsor of 21 Studios and the Red Mag Group. I'm Anthony and I'm Dream Johnson and I approve this soap. Big time. Now, before I joined the Navy, in high school, I met my wife, girlfriend then. We started dating. Joined the Navy, life is great. I do that for eight years. I was five years on a ship, two deployments, then three years on instructor duty. Fantastic, greatest time of my life. It was just an adventure, every single freaking day. After my first deployment, I married my girlfriend, became a wife after five years of us dating. We had my son. I didn't go to shore duty, we had my daughter. I'm then presented with a choice, I'm up for orders. I can either go back to a ship and deploy. See, the Navy is a little different than the other branches. You're always in and out. I told you the story about my dad, home for a week, gone for a month. Home for two weeks, gone for two months. Then you deploy. I realized after having a son and a daughter, I could either be a good sailor or I could be a good father. When I was young, I wanted to be Conan. I wanted to be Conan, have my chicken and loincloth, freaking going around like leopard print and then a bunch of children running around. I knew I wanted a family. My decision was made for me. It wasn't even throw a bonus at me, throw an increased rank. It didn't matter. I was getting out. So I jumped without knowing where it was going to land. I left the Navy, which is a great career. I was doing very well for myself and I self-regret up, found a job, pretty cool. Things are good. Then I hit a rough patch. My wife and I went through some things. My white picket fence, you know, the Disney, the fairy tale, it was destroyed. It crashed into the ground. It shattered, burned in the flames and I was prevented with a choice. Go or stay. I stayed. I then came back, though. You fuck with me, I'm going to fuck with you and I hit it back and then she was presented with a choice. So coming up, she made her decision, go or stay. She decided to stay. Now the beauty behind that, I don't wish anybody on the storyline, but if you find yourself in a situation like this, is you're no longer together because you're trying to keep up with something. You're no longer together because you're trying to make the storybook last. You want to do the high school sweetheart story. Now you're together because you chose to be together. It's crazy, but it works. As I was going through that, I created the family alpha. Now before creating the family alpha, I was on the red pill, subreddit, as well as married red pill, subreddit. You won't see me on the red pill because A, they're quarantined, but B, the black list of me. You won't see me on married red pill because Ryan Stone banned me. He won't admit it because he's being a polite Canadian fuck, but he gave me the boot. He said, ah, go do that shit somewhere else. So I was like, fine, I'll do my own website. We're going to do it that way. So we've got the family alpha going and it's great. And then I found we ran, we did a 21 con and that was a game changer. That's where this happened. That's where I got to see men and rub shoulders with men and see, holy shit. This isn't just talking online. This is some real world shit. This matters. This is changing lives. This is changing a political or social landscape. This is what's going to change, make a generational change to where our children, my children might see a different future than the one I'm facing right now. You know, a lot of guys talk about how it's doom and gloom. It's going to get so much worse before it gets better. They're absolutely correct, but that's as a whole. In my bubble, I'm trying to keep that off. I'm trying to fight that back. And I do that from that 21 con I realized, holy shit. Ivan, I already mentioned it. Hey, get up, man. You're a lighthouse. You're a torch. A lighthouse, you're keeping men from smashing into the ground. You're putting a message out there preventing them from hitting rock bottom. Maybe they can pull up before they hit those rocks. That's what you're doing. A torch. It's a dark fucking world. This world does not care about you. Honestly, the world is trying to kill you if you really look at it. But the world doesn't care. But when you have that torch in that dark world and you hold it in the air, another man might see it. He might start walking towards you. And when he finds it, he's like, wow, hey, brother, what are you up to? Hey, I'm doing this. Check it out. This is working for me. I feel good. I'm alive. I'm a man in a society that hates men. And shoulders back, I'm proud. I'm having a great fucking time. Here, let me light your torch. Go over there. He goes his way. I go mine. But now there's two torches. And that's what we're doing. We're lighting torches for helping men realize there is a purpose to this. So I come back from last 21Con.
