Rafa J. Conde walked away from a near–seven-figure Wall Street career to earn $38K as a rookie cop—and spend the next 18.5 years running narcotics, SWAT, and federal task-force ops. Why? A calling to serve, lead, and become the kind of man pressure can’t break.

In this episode, Rafa unpacks the identity shift from money/status to mission/service, the moments that harden—or humble—a man, and how those lessons forged Man of War, his global movement to build disciplined, purpose-driven men. We get into the “Warrior’s Hour” morning routine (4:30 AM, cold plunge, meditation, run/lift), leadership under fire, raising strong sons in soft times, and why discipline, faith, and a clear code beat hacks every day of the week.

Most people don't realize how much their personal information is being bought and sold every day. Data brokers are making billions, pulling details about you from public records and the internet, and then packaging and selling it, usually without your consent. That's how your information lands in the hands of scammers, spammers, even stalkers. It's why you get endless robocalls and why ads seem to follow you everywhere. That's where Aura comes in. Aura actively removes your data from broker sites and keeps it off. They also instantly alert you if your information shows up in a breach or on the dark web. But Aura goes beyond data protection. With one app, you get a VPN, antivirus, password manager, spam call protection, dark web monitoring, and even up to $5 million in identity theft insurance. All backed by 24/7 US-based fraud support. Other companies might sell just credit monitoring or just a VPN. Aura gives you all of it, together, at the same price competitors charge for just one service.

Today, I'm sitting down with the founder and CEO, Man of War, a national male empowerment platform with many different divisions under it that's really elevating male leadership across the nation. Please welcome Rafa Khandi. Rafa, thanks for jumping on the show today. Hey, thank you for having me on. It's an honor. Appreciate it. Absolutely. Great to start the show. Same question. Rafa, what's your morning routine? Oh, boy. I call it the Warriors Hour 430 out of beds, put my feet on the ground. Big grace. Thank you for everything that I have. Run into a cold shower for two minutes, and then I do my sitting meditation, usually about 10 minutes, and then I jog over to the gym. Do my weightlifting, sometimes cardio, and then run back home and then start the day. No coffee involved in that process. No coffee. It's straight, you know, mindset stuff. Love that. Love that. How many miles is the gym away? It's about a mile and a quarter. Nice. So you get a two and a half mile and run in. Yeah. Every morning. Every morning. Okay, so let's dive into the questions here.
