In this powerful episode of The Bear Essentials Podcast, He Became Great at Violence — So He Could Choose Peace, host Charles Wallace sits down with Rob DuBois — former U.S. Navy SEAL, author of Powerful Peace, and founder of Impact Actual — to explore the duality of humanity and what it truly means to be a warrior.

He talks about the balance between strength and empathy, control and chaos, and how true power is the ability to choose restraint when destruction is easy.
We go deep into the warrior’s paradox — why peace requires strength, how discipline creates freedom, and why the most capable fighters often become the most peaceful men.
This isn’t about glorifying war. It’s about understanding the body, mind, heart, and soul of a true warrior.
Rob’s perspective challenges everything we think we know about violence, vulnerability, and the cost of control. His words are a reminder that the strongest men are often the calmest ones.
🎯 If you’ve ever wondered what it means to be strong enough to protect peace, this episode will shift your perspective.
