Raising Rebels // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
When you look around do you see the need for more rule followers or independent, free-thinking men and women with an ingrained rebellious nature?
I think we know the answer to that! Rebels are needed. They've always been needed but without training -- either by consequences or by parents -- they'll set fire to anything that burns. It's our job as fathers, uncles, etc. to help them to see the good in their fiery spirit and to use it to pursue justice.

ChatGPT, AI, & the Future of Manliness // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
Unless you've been under a rock you've probably heard about something called ChatGPT. And if you have heard of it, some of you would like to go back under the rock rather than see what the world is becoming. AI is here and it's going to change things. ChatGPT just happens to be the eye-opening tool that makes this undeniable. In truth, it's pretty incredible...and it's only getting started.

When You're Raised Poor // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
Growing up both poor and middle class, I gained a mindset that actually limited me in many ways. I didn't realize how deeply inset certain thoughts patterns were and how they impacted so many areas of my life. In this episode, I talk about the ingrained beliefs we carry with us when we come from limited means.

The Good Men Fallacy // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
There's a common quote which has the best of intentions, but also has a serious error. Some men believe they can be good in their heart and yet never display the actions to back up their belief. Belief is always backed by action.

Becoming Fluent in the Language of Violence // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
While our native tongue should always be Peace, a man needs to be a capable and willing defender of life. In this episode I share some insights from my first 6 months in Krav Maga and the first 2 weeks of concealed carry.

Purpose Over Potential // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
Regardless of how crazy the world seems at times, we truly live in a remarkable time. The world is filled with possibilities and many of them are within reach.
But, with all of the paths available to us, we can still only select one or two. The potential we see can often stall us in our takeoff. In this episode I talk about why purpose should be our focus and how as Christians we can trust in God's plan for our lives.

Celebrating Seasons of Life // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
I've noticed something: women have more natural markers for time and the seasons of life. They are the ones who typically bring out the different dishes or clothes, or get together to celebrate a new life entering the world.
Men...not so much. But we need to. We need markers on our timeline of life. In this episode I talk about how, as men, we need to take the time to celebrate the seasons of life instead of just letting them all rush by.

Accepting the Decisions You Didn't Make // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
There is a real power in your willingness to acknowledge the decisions that you made when you were not aware you were making them. Perhaps it's because you were a kid at the time, or maybe you went through a traumatic experience that shaped who you are.
Dec 1, 2022
Engage Your Life! // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
Let's face it, most men are disengaged from the vitality they should have in life. They're asleep at the wheel, content to let life pass them by while they take it easy.
It may sound cliché, but life is meant to be lived and lived to the fullest.

Stop Saying These Things... // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
It's far too common for us to use certain phrases that excuse the true work we're not doing to grow. Adding a warrior status to the challenges you face doesn't do any good unless you're truly fighting a battle.

Creating a Man Culture // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
Society is sorely lacking an innate culture of masculinity. There used to be clubs, communities, and social standards for men. I'm not saying all of it was good, but the standards and community it forged was something we're missing today.

Why Fear is Ruling the Day // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
From anxiety and depression to fear of anything untried and unknown...fear is having its way with people these days. There's a simple reason for it and a solution that we can all employ.
