Joey shares how his brother's ethical arguments dismantled his carnivore beliefs, why he views veganism as the most masculine dietary choice a man can make, and the moment before his second competition that redirected his whole mission. He breaks down the four pillars of men's work — physical, mental, sexual, and spiritual — and explains why purpose only arrives once a man becomes internally abundant. Alex and Joey also dig into why so many intelligent people still eat meat, the social pressure that pulls vegans back, and what a world without slaughterhouses could look like. This conversation covers veganism and masculinity, bodybuilding on plants, activism, self-development, sexuality, and finding purpose as a young man.
