![Invest in Yourself // Truck Talk Thursday]()
by Mike Yarbrough August 22, 2019
We invest in the things we believe in. There is a parable in Scripture that calls this out:
"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field." - Matthew 13:44
Once the man set eyes on that treasure, he knew what he needed to do. Now, this is a bit of an extreme example, but the Kingdom of Heaven is kind of extreme. For most of us, we just need to recognize the value in ourselves and start making investments there.

![Happy Wife Happy Life? // Truck Talk Thursday]()
by Mike Yarbrough August 15, 2019
I was honored to speak to Marcus Luttrell a while back. He's an American hero, a man's man. So it surprised me when he used the phrase "A happy wife, happy life." We've all probably heard this at some point and have likely used it. But, is it true? Should it be? What did Marcus mean by it? What kind of impact can this common phrase have on men as leaders of our families?

![(Special Episode) Following in Others' Footsteps // Trail Talk Thursday]()
by Mike Yarbrough August 01, 2019
I'm prideful. Probably not as prideful as you, because thankfully I'm humble as well 😉. But in all seriousness, I like doing things alone. Getting after it, making it happen, and seeing the work that my hands have done and feeling pride. That's not all bad, but in my younger days I really thought I could do something different. We all know there is nothing new under the sun, but I liked to think I was smarter or better for "figuring it out on my own". In truth, I've learned more, and more quickly, following in the footsteps of others.

![(Special Episode) You Don't Have to Get there First. // Trail Talk Thursday]()
by Mike Yarbrough July 25, 2019
One of the most discouraging aspects of running online businesses is that I'm always comparing my progress to that of others. But, if the time on the trail has taught me one thing, it's that the view is still magnificent, even if you're not the first to see it.

![(Special Episode) It's Only Downhill When You Turn Back // Trail Talk Thursday]()
by Mike Yarbrough July 18, 2019
I thought I'd share some thoughts with you from the trail. As mentioned in a previous episode, I've gone on a bit of adventure to scatter my dad's ashes. It's been a moving experience and has brought some healing. As always, being out in nature allows the mind to roam, the spirit to open, and clarity to come into the space too often preoccupied by the noise of urbanism.

![How do You Talk to Your Boys about Girls? // Truck Talk Thursday]()
by Mike Yarbrough June 13, 2019
There is a fine line fathers are trying to walk with their boys. No longer is "guy talk" acceptable when it objectifies women. Yet, dads still want to help their sons acknowledged beauty in a respectful way. If, on the one hand, we treat sexuality and physical attractiveness as a taboo subject, we do harm to our sons and daughters. However, if we are glib about it, we do harm as well.

What does this mean for you, as a man? If you have the entrepreneurial spirit but are worried about the risk, here is yet another factor in your favor.
