From Wall Street to Warrior ft. Rafa J. ...

Joseph Shalaby
About this episode

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.
