Welcome to The Walls of Sparta. A podcast dedicated to breaking the walls of lies that the government sells us, the lies that we hear in the world of fitness, and last but certainly not least, the lies we tell ourselves I’m your host, Greg Papanicolas. You can find me on social media on Facebook, Youtube and at gregp_coach on instagram. Sparta is famously known as the ancient city of elite warriors. These legendary men defended their homeland with such vigor that they themselves became the walls. This show will honor those have stood tall against the walls that society, government, culture and other institutions have built over time. The Walls of Sparta is sponsored by Sparta Code. If you are a middle aged man but it feels like you’ve lost that mojo lately and feel like your health and internal strength has taken a back seat, you’re not alone. This control system is rapidly descending into more chaos and those of us who hold onto Truth and Morality as high values can have a hard time keeping our tools sharp on our own. That’s why we created the Sparta Code. It’s a brotherhood of men who value Truth, strength, our health, our family and our legacy… but above all else, we must build the strength needed to combat the lies and deceptions that we’ve had to live under for centuries. Our mission is to wake even more people up to the idea that you own yourself and that you can build a life for yourself outside the control system. If you have a burning desire in your soul to return to the greatness you once felt… It’s time to start living by the Sparta Code.
