    SMP 266: Billou & Arpa - What Are Standards? Why Do They Matter? (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    "A man who has standards but repeatedly compromises them will stop trusting himself and cannot be trusted by other men." — Nicky Billou Rob Arpa is back alongside Nicky for a conversation that started with something real — a situation inside the Sovereign Man circle that put the question of standards front and center.
