Part 3/17:
Russell reflects on his own journey—growing up without strong male role models, which led to a later fascination with martial arts and physical discipline. He discusses how martial arts and physical exertion helped ground his spiritual explorations, filling a void left by lacking early life guidance in masculinity, responsibility, and bodily experiences. His path is marked by a recognition of how early life experiences influence his current self-awareness and his attempts to balance physical discipline with the pursuit of spiritual insight.
