This week on the Renaissance of Men Podcast, Will Spencer is thrilled to welcome for his first online interview ever, the anonymous man behind the Instagram account that's inspiring thousands of men, The Howling Void @the_howling_void. 
In this sprawling, encyclopedic conversation, we cover: 
The importance for both individuals and society to have a "Telos," or soul-purpose
The path of most resistance, and why it's uniformly the most fulfilling route we can take through life
His fascination with the martial arts and psychedelic sub-communities, and how they fuse together in his work
His personal cosmology, and how he gets high on human excellence
The impact of "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius on his life
The origins of The Howling Void project in a suggestion from a lifelong friend, and where The Howling Void is headed next
Why you should never compromise on the cleanliness of your sink

 
In addition we discussed: letter writing, architecture, entropy, telekinesis, alchemy, Fight Club, what it means to have a Conscience, and more.
This was a rich and fascinating conversation that I'm thrilled to share with you. And as promised, below is a list of all the resources mentioned in this talk.
