I'm very happy today to have as a guest Marcus Follin.
Is that good pronunciation?
Yes, it is.
Also known as the Golden One, big channel on YouTube and on the internet.
And I'm very pleased today to host you, Marcus, for your excellent book that came out, Dauntless, which has a great subtitle, which is a handbook for the quest for enlightenment and glory.
I love that.
I actually bought, you were kind enough to send me one and I so much like it that I bought another one for my son, for my two sons now.
And I also got, which I think is great.
I was wearing it today because it was cold this morning.
Your amazing hoodie with Perseus.
I challenged my kids.
I said, do you know who that is?
And they say, of course, it's Perseus with the Medusa.
So that was good.
And it's high quality, well done.
And there's a lot of other nice merchandise that you have on your website, which I'll put the link below.
But let's talk about your book.
Why your book?
What led you to write this excellent book?
Yes, first and foremost, thank you for the kind words and nice to see the Perseus and Medusa and glad that your sons could identify it.
It's a glorious myth indeed.
So basically, I, of course, I live in Sweden and for a long time I've been averse to the Swedish regime.
Then of course I understood that it's not only in Sweden, it's all of the West, all of Europe basically, that many young men are basically being lied to in so many different ways.
Of course, I've talked a lot about these issues on my YouTube channel, in videos, but I wanted to have one place where I had all of my teachings, so to speak, all of my thoughts, all of my advice in one place.
And that was sort of a way for me to help a lot of people because when I see many things happening, to take an example, if I see a young man being completely out of shape because he is, yeah, he doesn't take care of himself and I see he's unhappy.
He has a low self-confidence.
He doesn't like himself.
So I thought to myself, how can I help many of these men, many of these young guys?
Then I thought to myself, okay, I'm going to write a book and this is sort of the book I would wish I had read when I was 15 or something.
Because many of these things, no one is saying them.
Unless, of course, you look all throughout the internet.
But I wanted to have one physical copy where everyone could just get the basics on how to survive and thrive in the modern world.
So everything from training to relationships to, yeah, I even quote your book.
I talk about your book about survivalism, all of these different things that, you know, no one in school is going to tell you about survivalism, at least not in Sweden.
They're not going to tell you about the negative effects of poor diet or anything like that.
It's just other things you learn.
So I thought, yeah, I'm going to write it and have this as my contribution to restoring order to the West.
Yes, I must say that it's, you know, I'm much older than you, I'm 49.
And when I read the book, I was excited to read, of course.
And I was not expecting much.
I was saying, okay, you're a successful YouTuber.
You have very much success in how you manage your own body, which is already something more successful than what I do.
But certainly it was inserting.
So I didn't know what to expect.
And as I started to read, I saw that.
Every and first of all, let me say that it's not hard to read because a lot of young people who may watch this, they are scared of reading books because in school we're not trained anymore to read the big books and read fast.
It's fast to read because every topic is in one sort of small chapter or big paragraph.
And everyone teaches, it encompasses everything that a young man could need in life, from how you train, what you should eat, how you should behave yourself, even how you should dress and look, and how to think in a way and how you structure your thoughts.
Of course, you give some of your opinions as well.
But I thought that it is very complete.
And I was surprised that there is so much information in what is relatively a short and quick to read book, which is really great.
Because as we know, young people, they're not trained to read anymore.
Maybe they go through school, they read one or two books.
Whereas in my time, you had to read maybe 500.
And in my parents' time, you had to read 5,000.
I'm exaggerating, maybe 1,000 books throughout your school years.
And now this is complete.
And would you say that today young people are lost, not finding anyone, no fathers, no government telling them the wholeness of life, which goes from body to mind?
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
So that was one of the reasons as well that I am, of course, angry at many of the things and angry at I'm a bit sad myself as well that I didn't have anyone telling me when I was 15.
But then again, many things.
So I'm 31 now, by the way.
But a lot of these things, they weren't public knowledge 15 years ago.
Such a thing as porn consumption, no one really knew it was that bad 15 years ago.
So no one told me when I was 17 that, you know, you shouldn't watch this because it's bad.
No one told me that.
Same thing when it comes to a lot of dietary advice.
You know, you had during the 80s this anti-fat propaganda campaign, mostly from the sugar industry.
And of course, I'm born in 89, so I have grown up during the 90s also with, you know, I had a quite good diet growing up, but in retrospect, what I will do different with my children is that they will get a lot more meat, a lot more animal fats, etc.
So I'm sort of angry at many of the lies I've grown up with, or perhaps not lies, but the lack of information.
Same thing if we're talking about the relationship between men and women.
Of course, in feminist Sweden, you have a completely different attitude from school and from culture, which, you know, many young men, they hear that you should be in a certain way, and then women react very poorly to it because they want something completely different.
But that's something completely different.
It's something older men need to tell these younger men because otherwise they might go out and have a completely different View of women that won't lead anywhere productive.
So, and also, of course, if you look on role models from culture, from Hollywood, etc., it's you know, degenerate rappers or whatever it might be, and they don't really aren't really good role models at all.
So, I do, I've tried to be at least somewhat, it might sound a bit arrogant to say it, but I've tried at least.
And if I could give some direction in some regards, it's what I've tried to do, both of course on YouTube and other social media, but also in the book.
So, that's also want to get a handbook that is to the point because a lot of other, many other authors want to elaborate on a new way of thinking and not much as what to do.
And this is, of course, something you do well in your book as well: that you give actual advice, you give actual hands-on advice that you can incorporate.
So, that's also something I try to do with Dauntless: that, okay, I read this and I can directly incorporate it into my life.
So, it's not only a new ideology or a new philosophy for whatever.
In fact, when I also, when I read the book, I found that contrary to what our enemies might expect or might say about you and the same as me, is that they try to depict you and me or people like us as extremists.
But when I read the book and when I read the advice, because a book is much more powerful long-term than a video on YouTube, because on the book, you can think a long time before you write a sentence and you can choose the words.
Whereas on YouTube, sometimes you say things either with humor or a bombastic way to make an impression, and that's all fine.
But in the book, you have to be more careful writing things that can be used against you, perhaps.
So, you have to be careful.
And I thought that in your book, whether it's about ethnicities, race, religion, nationalism, things like that, for example, they are extremely balanced, I think.
They are very wise, they're not provocative.
It's a very, and I found that there, I even took notes from one of my next books.
And it is very much not common sense because it's not common anymore, but it's good sense.
It is what you should, you should not be an extremist, you should not be a radical in the sense, or maybe you should be radical in how you think, but definitely in how you express that thought.
It comes out as very balanced and very respectful.
And at the same time, you know, and this is perhaps a difference between the Swedish mind and my Italian, okay, now it's Swiss mind, but certainly there is more rigidity.
And I think that people from more Southern Europe like me, they look high to rigidity because we are more flexible in sometimes.
And I think in today's world, flexibility has been a problem because we accepted too much things doing compromises.
And as a man, myself, in my life, I find out now that I need more rigidity because I made too many compromises.
And in fact, this is the point: that balance is in fact the fruit of not doing compromises, especially with yourself.
What do you think?
Because I think this comes out of your book a lot.
What do you think of that?
Yeah, so basically I would agree that much of the, especially the philosophy part and the politics part of the book, they are common sense, but it's just that we live in such a clown world at the moment that common sense is being seen as extremist.
So when I write, when I wrote the book and when I promote my insights, etc., I never try to be you know, reactionary in that sense.
I always try to have my worldview based on myself.
So even if they say, oh, you are an extremist, I don't listen to them.
I don't want to play into their stereotype of what I should be because I see this quite often that primarily younger guys, they say, oh, they're going to call us extremists or fascists anyway.
So therefore, we might as well be super extreme.
But that's letting them, that's letting the enemy dictate the pace for us.
So for me, it's just my views.
A lot of it is common sense.
It is something you could say to a regular man 70 years ago, 100 years ago, 200 years ago, 1,000 years ago.
And he would say, yeah, of course, of course, it's completely natural to put your own family first.
Of course, it's only natural to look out for your local communities, to support your local economy, to have, you know, to take responsibility for your family, to be a man among men, to be a good father figure, etc.
It's just today that it's so, you know, fathers are vilified.
So if you look on parents' magazines, nowadays you don't often see a father, especially not a white father.
So for me, it's sort of like, you know, going back to basics, just promoting common sense and saying with a voice of, yeah, a clear voice saying, you know what, it's not strange to believe in these things.
It's completely natural.
It's completely normal.
So yeah, that's my take on the extremist question.
We are the normal ones.
They are the extreme ones.
No, I agree.
And unfortunately, these people who have very strong ideology, they have taken control of the universities in the 1920s and 1930s.
And it's been worsening since.
Then somewhere in the 70s, they took control of popular culture.
Then they took control of the schools, of the kindergartens now.
And now they can force their agenda, even if in numbers they represent a very tiny portion of the population.
And so because the whole education system from cradle to the grave, in fact, because it compasses everything, is representing of a very strange and special sick mind, I think, and sick culture.
We need to have education in parallel to re-educate, to re-learn, retrain, re-teach things to young people.
And in your book, you put a lot of effort, a lot of emphasis on the effort that people need to do for self-discipline.
And this is, I was not surprised by that because knowing how much you practice sports, and I do practice sports on a much lower level, but certainly I know how much discipline you need to wake up every morning, do what you need to do, take the time and have an objective to have, for some people it's a beautiful and nice body, for others it's a functional and healthy, or it can be all together.
How does your background in fitness And culturism, I don't know how you call that.
Suddenly, you do kickboxing and tieboxing.
I think.
How that self-discipline that you learned for sports, how do you see it being used for everyday life for everyday people?
Yeah, so first and foremost, I think what many younger men are something they're lacking, and the lack of it creates unhappiness.
So they lack direction, they lack goals, they lack something to strive for.
So they go around not really knowing what to aim for.
So they take every day as it is.
But I understand now that the lack of adventure, the lack of struggle, the lack of a higher goal to strive towards, it's making them unhappy.
So therefore, they compensate by doing a lot of different things.
It might be drugs, it might be excessive video game playing, or it might be something that isn't really congruent with a long-term happiness.
So when you have the quest for physical excellence, it might be getting better at tieboxing, it might be getting physically more muscular.
It might be even if you have someone who's running in the forest, he might want to get a better time, a time around a lap, for example.
As long as you have something to strive to watch, you will have that sense of being on a quest and that will be, you know, will give purpose to you.
So that is actually one of the first things I understood when I looked upon other young men over this last 10 years.
I saw they are, you know, something is missing.
And I think that is it.
And you don't really see it with men who have their own companies.
They have that drive, they have that fire.
But for a lot of, especially young men, when they don't have that, when they're just drifting, I think a lot of unhappiness and other detrimental behaviors come from it.
And in regards to the discipline aspect, when you start going to the gym, for example, it's like a big piece of the puzzle is being placed, and then smaller pieces are being placed there as well, such as slip.
When you go to when you train hard, it can be tieboxing or it can be the gym or wrestling or whatever it might be.
When you understand that you need a complete puzzle and sleep is an integral part there as well, that will come into play.
Then you understand, okay, diet is a good way.
So automatically, when you start seeing results in the gym, when you start seeing that, oh, can I optimize this?
Can I get better by adjusting lifestyle factors?
Then you start putting all of these pieces into place.
So that's where a good place to start with discipline.
I'd say it's when you understand that through discipline you will get so many benefits and when you Get that taste of success in the gym or when you learn new stuff in a martial arts or whatever it might be.
When you get those small victories, the discipline will come much easier because then you see a direct reward of it.
So I'd say usually I give the gym as a good starting point because then a lot of different things will fall into place naturally.
In fact, having good physical exercise and fitness is a way to provoke endorphins and hormones that makes you feel good.
And it's one of the best ways to get out of depression.
And especially these times where there is a lot of young people, especially who cannot get out, they cannot party.
And this is a young people thing.
They get depressed.
They don't see a future because there's no horizon out of what has been happening for a year and a half.
I cannot even mention because otherwise we get striked.
And yet, and in definitely sport, going running, going fighting, going, even if you have to do it in your room, pull-ups and so on, and everything squats and whatever you need to do on your own will make you feel better.
But of course, the discipline is hard.
So looking at videos on the internet of training and finding perhaps, how do you say, role models, people who, like you, for a lot of young people and others, when I was a kid, I used to like watch Arnold Schwarzenegger pumping iron.
And I never went to big muscle development, but certainly the discipline that was required was fascinating to me.
And so these, I only, I just didn't like the fact that they all were almost half naked around with little.
I found that to look a bit gay, but I understand now it's to show the muscles, obviously.
But it's a bit weird.
But certainly, certainly you're giving your book that spark.
What would be...
So I, again, we are talking about Domtless, the book by Marcus Fallin, the golden one.
And I'll put again the link so that you can order.
And again, the merchandise that is around, the t-shirts, I actually also bought a t-shirt, but I don't have it here.
But the hoodie is amazing.
And it's actually, it's very warm because here in the farm, we have nice spring days during the day.
But in the morning, at five in the morning, when I go out and I walk and I check if everything is fine.
Between five and six, I'm certainly outside.
It's a bit cold and it's a very warm one.
It's not like those thin hoodies that you need a jacket on top.
This one is really nice.
So I'll put the link below.
What would be the next projects that you have?
What is your because you're also a father, so you're also a family man.
So you're increasing the qualities to become a full man over time, which is a lifelong exercise.
What are your next projects?
Yeah, so first and foremost, again, thank you for the kind words of the hoodie.
I'm quite pleased with it myself, if I may say so.
So yeah, of course, long-term goal is to be a patriarch like yourself with a big family.
So yeah, long-term goal, a bit short-term goal, of course, a lot of new things for Lego Gloria.
So the clothing, rocking polo shirt here as well.
So that's actually been my main focus ever since a while back since I understood that YouTube wasn't really.
Yeah, being shadow banned, etc., wasn't really going upwards as much as I, you know, in relation to the work I put in.
So I focused more on the clothing as of late.
Same thing with the supplement company.
And then also I'm actually writing my second book at the moment.
So Dauntless is, yes, you know, it's more a handbook on many things, what to do, how you can actively incorporate your certain things in your life.
And the next book, which will hopefully be out later this year, it will more deal with the culture and the war on our minds.
So it's more for people to read it and to be able to better withstand certain cultural influences that might be detrimental.
So you see many things in culture.
You always see the white man being bad.
He's always immoral.
He's always doing bad stuff.
You see that continuously repeated in culture.
So I point it out in the book saying, okay, look out for this.
So it's more about the mental aspect, how to avoid getting into a certain way of thinking.
Because when you do, when you start believing that you are yourself, you are a bad individual just because of who you are.
Yeah, it won't be good for your mental well-being.
It won't be good for your quality of life.
And also it goes into the broader political struggle, that how we view ourselves.
So at the moment, this is especially true in Sweden's situation.
We have been conditioned in our minds to always put others first.
So it's never about putting your own people first because that's extremist or whatever.
So I write a lot about trying to reconfigure our minds to believe that it's just as it was up until very recently.
It's normal and good.
It's moral to put your own family first.
So that's sort of like a compliment to Dauntless, but I talk more about culture, the mental aspect, how to rewire the way you think.
So yeah, that's the next project.
Interesting.
I certainly would look forward to read it.
Perhaps one last question.
In your book, you give a lot of emphasis on the importance of brotherhood, of having good friends you can rely on and you can train with and so on.
And in today's world of high individualism and fragmentation of societies into little groups, into individual pleasures on the internet and entertainment and so on, we do not find at all the brotherhood, the friendships that we could have in past generations.
And you put emphasis on building that.
How would you proceed for all the young men that listen to us and listen to you?
What advice would you tell them on how to recreate?
Because it's not easy to, you know, you cannot just go to someone and say, hi, do you want to befriend?
How do you see the most efficient and effective way to find real good, loyal people that you can be good and loyal to as well and create this brotherhood?
Yeah, it's a very good question.
I get the question quite often actually from guys.
And the general advice which I give, and also male friendship is supremely important.
And I do believe that The enemy, so to speak, they do their best to dismantle male friendship.
And again, if we're talking about culture, you often see male friendship being portrayed as maybe something gay or maybe something as something they're trying to dismantle it.
And that's a good sign for us that, okay, male friendship is important and it has always been important and it will be important going forward as well.
Not only for mental well-being, but because if we want to create good change, groups of men, menerbund friendships, it's very important.
And to respond to your question, I'd say that the way you conduct yourself is what you will attract.
So if you want to attract in terms of friendship other men with similar qualities, you first need to build yourself up and then you will give out a certain aura, you will shine like a light, and others will see you.
See, okay, this guy is interested in training, in whatever it might be, different things.
He might be interested in history, in culture, in art, in improving himself.
He might like martial arts, he might like all of these different things because they usually go together.
A certain type of man will be interested in certain types of things.
So, good places to find, of course, universities.
They are a bit dominated by left-wing individuals, but you can still find good people.
And then it's especially important if you carry yourself in a certain manner, people will spot you.
I talk a lot about physiognomy: that you can look on someone and see, okay, is this guy on our side?
Usually, it's true.
Not only you can look on someone how if they carry themselves in a good way, if they take care of themselves, you can see if they're healthy.
Usually, you can see the glow in their face, as opposed to people who are not on our side, who are often very sickly looking, very frail, very different.
So, it's good to spot each other like that.
And you know, the aura you present.
So, the first step is to build yourself into someone you would like to be friends with, and then you will automatically attract similar like-minded people.
It's worked very well for me at least over all these years that you know, automatically you end up in similar situations.
To, I mean, we're having this conversation now because of yeah, you give out a certain aura, I give out a certain aura, we find each other.
So, um, so yeah, that's a good way to start at least with yourself.
And you know, you will attract like-minded people eventually.
Excellent.
Well, Marcus, thank you very much.
I advise again everyone who's looking at us to read your book.
Um, the link is in the description.
It's legiogloria.com with a yes or not?
Uh, no, it's together, legiogloria.com.
Legiogloria.com.
So, in case you don't look watch the video and you're listening to it, that's where you want to go.
And I've been there, easy to buy.
You click, you click, you select what you want.
You have great merchandise and easy to pay and get delivered very fast.
So, so I advise you to do it.
It's a great book.
I look forward to your next one and when everyone can travel, perhaps organize again to meet somewhere.
Last time we met in Norway, it was great.
Maybe we meet in Russia, maybe we meet in Sweden.
Who knows?
There's we have to see what's going to be possible in the future.
Anyways, thank you very much.
And let's keep hitting the temple of Iron, as you say to everyone.
