  • Around this time of year, people begin to evaluate their life choices and circumstances. Relationships are no different.

  • It seems to me that we’re, collectively, waking up from a decades-long slumber as Americans. Maybe it’s that we can’t stand to see the direction of the country or, perhaps, it’s a pure level of disdain and animosity towards our elected officials.

We talk about what it means to be a good citizen, why we seem to get the worst of our people in politics, how to change the tide of American politics and culture through “State Nullification,” why there are no rights without associated responsibilities, and the power of and ways men can get involved.

  • We are without a shortage of sex scandals from Jeffrey Epstein to P. Diddy and, now implicated Jay-Z. But sex scandals from the highest echelons of entertainment, social elites, and political juggernauts are nothing new. In fact, Alexander Hamilton was once outed for having an affair with a married woman and Thomas Jefferson was proven to have been sleeping with his slave.

    Unfortunately, the trend continues with seemingly increasing high profile cases against these villains and their sexual improprieties. Today, I’m joined by investigative journalist, Nick Bryant to talk about his decades-long work against child sex-trafficking. Today, Nick and I talk about the similarities between Epstein and Diddy, why and how these blackmailing strategies turn into political weapons and assets, why these pedophiles get caught when they do, and what a man can do to protect his loved ones and serve a greater calling to destroy these rats.

  • It’s no secret that, during COVID, we began to see how bad the foreign supply chain crisis was. That woke a lot of people up to the reality of importing cheap products from overseas, adversarial countries. But we’ve spent the last century closing American manufacturing facilities and exporting our American jobs overseas. With new potential tariffs (which I believe are more of an economic bargaining tool to Trump), we again are starring down the barrel of high prices for everyday goods.

    That’s part of the reason, I love what Josh Smith, Founder of Montana Knife Company is doing in a small town called Frenchtown in Montana. He’s putting Americans to work building American products – specifically, hunting, tactical, and culinary knives. Today we talk about the challenges with starting American-Made companies, what you’re likely to hear from competitors when you do, why growth isn’t always so linear and there are no overnight successes, why foreign markets are unfair business partnerships, and learning to build a business from the ground up – literally.

  • One thing I’ve noticed with the over 500 guests I’ve had on the podcast is that they’re all relentless in their chosen pursuit. I’ve also noticed that all of them think they’re too dumb (to some degree) to fail – meaning they realize how crucial it is to be stubborn and hard-headed enough to keep going when all the “smart” people would quit.

    My guest today, former Navy SEAL and founder of Born Primitive, Bear Handlon, is no exception. Today, Bear and I talk about cutting against the grain, why the VA is failing our veterans, why so many men are unwilling to take risks in their lives, how he would have done things differently, and when to burn the boats.
