"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation..." - Henry David Thoreau It's true. By the time a man reaches his late 20s he often feels missionless. He drifts around, with a lot of things to do but without that sense of deep fulfillment and purpose. In this episode I talk about how our missions change in life and how there is one mission most men should be about.

Although the true best age to get married is when you find the lady who's right for you, there are some reasons why a man should get married sooner than later.

I started following Maj Toure over a year ago after seeing one of his shirts with a simple, but provocative phrase: Make Politicians Afraid Again. He has a heart to help black Americans understand the rights inherent to all men and declared in our Constitution. He's the founder of Black Guns Matter and the Solutionary Lifestyle and is a firm believer in the independent spirit that was so popular at the start of our nation. And he's not afraid to call out those who vie for our attention while doing little or nothing to actually make a difference.

What happens when we remove ourselves from nature for a few generations? How is our thinking about life, death, and reality compromised when we no longer have the foundational teachings of nature? I discuss these things in this episode and hopefully inspire you to spend time in the great out of doors.

I wanted to use a cool title for this one like Cutting Edge Marketing, Honed in Marketing Strategies, or Stabby Marketing Stab Stab, but I know that no one is going to search for that (although that last would have been a winner!) The truth is, marketing has been changing at a rapid pace but there are some strategies never fail. In this episode I talk to Montana Knife Company Co-Owner and Marketing Director Brandon Horoho. We discuss marketing a USA made knife brand, Montana Knife Company's growth and ethos, and strategies that work when popular advertising platforms don't allow your products.

It's hard to find a movie or TV show these days that isn't pumped full of the woke agenda. Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if the rest of the movie was good, but unfortunately, seeing the world through a woke filter changes how you view relationships and reality, thus making it nearly impossible for woke writers to create a story that really hits home.

Men love movies! We're moved by the epic battles and struggles -- but also by the friendships and the thought of having something to really fight for. David Dusek gets it. His ministry Rough Cut Men helps guys connect through the films we love. To slow things down a bit and help us discover our heart as men. In this conversation, David Dusek and Mike Yarbrough discuss how to connect with a brotherhood in a world that is pushing isolationism.

My first lesson in Krav Maga began this past Monday and it was a lot of fun! I'll keep you guys posted as a progress until I'm at the Steven Seagal level and then I'll just ghost everyone. 😁

It's painfully obvious that men are lacking the "fire in the belly" that they ought to have. They long for it, but many of them don't have a clear understanding of the spirited drive that a man should have in different areas of his life. I talk with my friend Stephen Mansfield about his book Men on Fire and the ways in which a man needs to burn brightly in order to find the fulfilment in life he so desires.

Regardless of how the internet makes it look, business is never easy. Sure, there are seasons where things are swimming along, but most of the time there are new problems to solve. That's a lot of fun, but for a guy with a lot of irons in the fire, limited time makes it difficult to grow as quickly as I would like.

What if what we know about relationships is mostly wrong? What if our expectations for how a relationship should work are way off? That's what 2x podcast guest and author Eric Barker writes about in his new book, Plays Well With Others. We dive into a few topics from the book, I share some personal stories, and we laugh at his wall coverings!

While we most likely have heard that the "pattern of this world" in Romans 12:2 is the sinful world in which we live, there may be more of a personal pattern that we need to replace with a new, transformed mind.
