Mike Lerario, Greg Walker, and Chuck Ritter introduce the concept of Objective Arete. We discuss the idea and the philosophical roots of 'Arete' in classical Western philosophy and how we can use it for modern personal growth. Objective Arete aims to create a community and provide a mindset and toolsets that help individuals in various domains of life, including mental, physical, social, and professional development. The founders share their backgrounds, reflecting on their journeys from military service to forming this self-development platform, emphasizing the importance of intentional self-improvement and learning from failures.
