George Douklias has been many things over the years. He's been a News Photographer, a Writer, a Tour Bus Driver, a Construction Worker and a Fishing Guide. In August of 2021 George was a manager in a small cleaning business when he was presented with a problem: Take the Jab or face discriminatory restrictions. Not only was he going to have to work under those restrictions, he would've also had to enforce those restrictions on the workers of his crew. He was not Ok with that. So rather than give in a take the shot, he took on the challenge of finding employment elsewhere, employment that didn't require him to disclose his private medical information. But when he started looking, he was faced with another problem: He couldn't find a job board that listed non discriminatory employers. So he created one. Now George is the Owner and Managing director of Jabless Jobs: A non discriminatory employment service, who's mission is to connect job seekers with employers who don't ask. Jabless Jobs has staffed over 200 people across Canada and the U.S. and provides hope for many more. Hope in finding financial security, regardless of your personal medical choices. https://jablessjobs.work/

A Terrible Love of War is a book that really helped me understand why violence and war are always brewing somewhere. Plus other stuff.

We dig into the history of psychology and how it relates to daily life. What is the ego, the self, the spirit, how do they work together or not. We also mention the mighty truckers, Japanese mythology, and much more.

A short story from the book, Weaponless Warriors by Richard Kim. It's written mainly for Karate students but the moral lessons and insights are genuinely full of wisdom. One story in particular speaks volumes to the current situation with the Truckers and the people who are standing up for freedom and the dignity of human life.

Continuing the discussion about all things crypto. We talked about Bitcoin, fiat currency, NFT's and more.

It's been an incredible week. Trucks and much more.

Welcome to 2022. I have been distracted with many things the last few weeks. So partly as a response to that I will be offering weekly updates. More guests and interviews are coming too. Thank you for your time and patience. -Luke

This was the most challenging podcast that I've done by myself. Finding the right words for the topics I explored is a challenge. These topics are so fundamental and so impenetrable simultaneously. It's like trying to control the mist. How value creates and affects life. What is the most important thing there is? Did culture and value evolve in relationship with martial arts? What exactly are arts of self defense? How can knowledge of combat strengthen peace? And other stuff too. Qi Gong class link:https://vancouverdojo.com/exerciseclasses/
