The Father of Bodybuilding // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
Eugen Sandow is a name most men ought to know. He also had a physique people believed could only be achieved in the imagination or sculpted in marble. He's known as the father of bodybuilding, but in this episode I don't want to focus on how jacked he was. Rather, I use his story to drive home a deeper point. One that we've been missing for most of our lives.

Get Back to the Basics // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
It's far too easy to get caught up in the latest scandal, political issue, hot topic, etc. It's also easy to go down the rabbit hole of self-improvement, learning more than we are actually doing. We can begin to feel that the path to success is too difficult because of all the nuances we've put into our heads instead of focusing on the practical...the basics.

The Problem with Modern Marriage // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY

The Necessary Bias of AI // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
Currently, the AI that we have access to doesn't have the reasoning capabilities that AI of the sci-fi movies displays. It mimics reason but it doesn't understand truth in the same way that we do. As AI moves in this direction, though, it will need some basis of truth -- how the world actually works -- and with truth comes the need for a necessary bias.

Kids These Days // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
It's important for parents to realize two things: 1. Our kids are experiencing a different world and a higher degree of temptation than we did. 2. They think that it's normal.

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.

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.
