Episode #66 | Forging Ahead with Lucas O'Hara
Savage Gentleman Podcast
Lucas O'Hara was an Army sniper and executive bodyguard, who now runs his Grizzly Forge blacksmith shop out of the Black Rifle Coffee headquarters in Salt Lake City.
info_outlineWhenever I get a chance, I like to do a little live feed in our Savage Gentleman closed Facebook Group we call the "League of Savage Gentlemen."
In this episode, I touch on some of the ethos of the group, get a little bit personal, and also dive a deeper into a few recent conversations.
Specifically, I delve into the concept of men making art, something that seems to be a waning practice in modern culture. Art being created by men that embodies and exalts masculine ideals has fallen out of favor over the past decades.
Sadly, this has resulted in a decline of these traits in society and an increase in the negative consequences a lack of masculinity brings. While some would prefer to tear down everything they dislike (and sometimes this is necessary) it is also equally if not more important to create something better to replace it.
