  • Hunting has become such an integral part of my life and I can’t help but want to talk about all the stories and memories I’ve made and what hunting has done in my own life with other people. Many of you who listen to the podcast, know my co-host, Kipp Sorensen. When I had the opportunity to take him on his first archery hunt in Hawaii last week, I could not wait for it.

    Today, I share our conversation from the porch in Hawaii about his first archery experience. We talk about looking for and creating opportunities, the power of curiosity and inquisitiveness, how to get into hunting for the first time, being coachable and teachable and what that will do for your life, some of the lessons he’s learned, and whether or not he was able to get his first kill.

  • If you’re like me, when you were a young boy, you had dreams of growing up to be an American hero and/or a spy like James Bond. But what does that actually mean in real life and, what does it take?

    My guest today is a man who has done just that. His name is Dave Fielding, Green Beret turned American Spy. And, today, he shares some of his insight into the world of US intelligence including what we can do to protect ourselves and maintain our rights. We talk about how arrogance hurts you but also how it might be able to help, how the common citizen deciphers between false and accurate information, the importance of owning your shit, the power of asking yourself, “why” in all things, and how self-awareness leads to a fulfilled life.

  • Join us in this week ASK ME ANYTHING as we share our exciting preparations for an upcoming axis deer archery hunt in Hawaii. Listen in as we detail the rigorous daily archery practice sessions and the vital adjustments needed for pinpoint accuracy – reminiscent of zeroing in a rifle. We'll explore the delicate balance between high expectations and the humility that comes with such an immersive outdoor experience, emphasizing the need for adaptability, not just in hunting, but in all walks of life.

    Power and leadership come with immense responsibility, a theme we tackle head-on as we discuss the contentious ideas put forth by Erik Prince and the ethical implications they carry. We scrutinize the thin line between the beneficial use and potential abuse of power, drawing insights from religious texts and philosophical musings on the human condition. In a similar vein, we navigate the intersection of personal faith and secular professional life, advocating for the integration of Christian principles in a way that respects diverse beliefs while avoiding logical fallacies in reasoning.

  • If we have any hope of saving this great nation, we’re going to have to learn to turn to the generation behind us and equip them with the mindset of truth, righteousness, and individual responsibility. Unfortunately, much of society (including the halls of academia where they spend most of their time) are hellbent on instilling the mindset of relativism, degeneracy, and victimhood.

    Today, I’m joined by Harrison Schenck of Save Your Sons to talk about what it’s going to take to turn the tide of culture for our boys who we’ll eventually call on to lead. We talk about the participation trophy generation, the warped conception of what a man is, overcoming the neediness of boys and men, when comparison can serve us, the dangers of “white knighting,” and saving our sons for and from society.

  • We know we’d like to step more fully into our masculinity in relationships. We, as men, inherently know that it makes for a much more rewarding and fulfilling partnership with the fairer sex. But what does it look like in practicality and application?

Today, we talk about why masculine leadership is a gift, how to evoke women to relax into their femininity, why a man’s job is to provide structure to a relationship and how to do it, how men should handle their emotions, and why, in relationships, it can be a good idea to address feelings first and facts later.

  • You want a life you’re excited to live. That’s a given. But why does it continue to be so elusive? That’s a question my guest and good friend, Rick Trimmer, has spent the last 20 years of his life trying to answer.

  • Most men have never been in a fight in their life (or, at most, a handful). So, what does it take to enter the Octogon and make a 16-year career (and counting) of administering and receiving the brunt end of physical violence. It’s something my guest today, UFC legend, Jim Miller, has done. And, he’s brought us so many incredible moments in the world of professional MMA.


    Today, Jim and I talk about what it takes to fight for a living and why he believes he was built to fight. We cover some of the highs and lows of his career including his debilitating battle with Lyme disease and his recovery, how he shapes his training atmosphere for maximum results, how to win and lose with class and grace, ensuring he never puts himself into the victim role, and his immense respect for men who step into the cage with him.
