Talking to Bedros Killian, founder and CEO of Fit Body Camp, author of Man Up, How to Cut the Bullshit, and Kick Ass in Business and Life. Killian, my brother. What's up, brother? What's happening? I'm doing well. I'm doing well, right? Thank you for having me, man. I appreciate the opportunity. Yeah, man. Pumped to have you. We know a lot of the same people.
And, you know, I've been following you for a while. Admire her from afar. You got me pumped up all the time. Your book's awesome. I think you're a great inspiration for what we need in today's world. motivation, positivity, but a little kick in the damn ass. You know, it ain't all sunshines and flowers and roses all day. That is true. What's going on in your world these days?
Well, I've got to tell you, man, I'm just intrigued in watching the downfall of our Greek country and wondering when the most capable men who can exercise their voice will decide to actually stand up and be men and exercise their voice so that we can win back our country. It is the last free country thanks to our constitution. And, but it is also being radically eroded away, pun intended.
And so with that in mind, when are the men going to stand up? Because in the, One thing I always say, and you asked this question, it already triggered me, so I'm just going to jump into this real quick, is that if I were to... See, I come from a communist country. I escaped the Soviet Union as a kid. My dad was a member of the communist regime, and...
His whole thing was, we're going to go to a country that affords us freedom and opportunity so long as you serve that country. And he said, it's backed by this document called the Constitution. Cool. So we escape in 1980. I was six years old and we come here. And in that time, we've seen the slow erosion of the Constitution, of our freedoms, of our liberties.
And of course, of that First Amendment, the freedom of speech, which is backed by the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms. And we're seeing a constant attack on that. And I share this with you because when our rides are being encroached and people think, well, someone else is going to go and do something about it. I'm sure someone else is working on it. That's what happened when...
And during World War II, when Germany killed millions of Jews, everyone else thought that someone else would stop it. And so I'm just here to maybe message to people that we are that someone else.
