Is Anger a Virtue?

November 9, 2026 · 1 h 9 min

Show notes

Mike LeBlanc is a former Marine and entrepreneur whose company builds humanoid robots. His new book, What If Anger Is the Answer?, argues that anger is the forgotten virtue we’ve been missing. He joins Coleman Hughes to make the case for getting angry, drawing on the Greek philosophy he studied at St. John’s College and eight years in the Marine Corps, including two combat tours in Afghanistan. That experience also shapes his view of war: It’s hell; it should be a last resort, but if we’re going to do it, we better do it right. He also brings the argument closer to home, with his take on what gentle parenting gets wrong.
