Choose a Worthy Enemy: Building a Life of Meaning After the Collapse | Rick Walker

In this episode of Conversation Craft, I sit down with Rick Walker, author of 9 Steps to Build a Life of Meaning, to explore what it takes to live with purpose in a post-collapse world.

Rick represents the last serious generation before the cultural and institutional unraveling, while I speak from the first serious generation after it. Together, we examine the tension between those worlds — between duty and meaning, virtue and vision, building and believing.

This is a conversation about meaning that refuses to hide behind “nice.” It’s raw, thoughtful, and rooted in both action and transcendence.
