MAGA! // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY Trump won and it looks like we're about to get America back! /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/33928257

When it Started to Click for Me // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 09/12/2024

When it Started to Click for Me // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY I remember reading, when I was just turning about 28 myself, that the average man's brain doesn't mature until age 27. I could feel it happening for myself at that time. Although I had been in the Navy, married with kids and had an actual career at that point, certain aspects of life were just starting to "click" for me. The next decade would be a time of incredible personal growth. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/32587202

A Man's Responsibility to Style // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 09/05/2024

A Man's Responsibility to Style // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY For most of my life I have unknowingly put "style" in the category of "Vanity". Many of the examples of style these days are from over-done, posh get ups in magazines and the like. However, being a photographer has really changed my thoughts on this and I've moved from thinking of style as vanity to considering it a responsibility that every many should take seriously. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/32587132

2 Years of Krav Maga // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 08/29/2024

2 Years of Krav Maga // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY Wow, 2 years! That was my first thought when realizing I had been taking Krav Maga for that long. It's a good amount of time. I should definitely be lethal by now, right? Probably, but the more you train the more you realize the different ways a fight can go sideways and how many situations you've never thought of. That being said, my confidence has never been better and my physical and mental stamina have significantly improved. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/32587047

How to Know When It's God? // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 08/22/2024

How to Know When It's God? // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY I really hope I'm not alone on this question. Sometimes events occur that seem to us to have been particularly arranged. If the event is in our favor, it must be God, right? If the event smotes some bad people (tornado, earthquake) it must be God, right? Of course it can't be that simple, so then how can we tell when it's God moving in a particular way in our lives? /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/32586967

Road Trip Lessons for Life // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 08/15/2024

Road Trip Lessons for Life // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY Men are made to roam. Even when we "settle down" and have kids, we still yearn for new sights and to sample the various bacons of the world. I didn't travel much as a kid, so most of my experience on the road has been after my late 20s. I've learned a few things that aren't so much about the road as they are about life. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/32586812

A Different Perspective on Trump // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 07/18/2024

A Different Perspective on Trump // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY We're living through some crazy times! Trump just survived an assassination attempt and his reaction in that moment has emboldened a lot of existing supporters as well as change the minds of others. In this episode, I give some thoughts, man to man, on how this event has changed my thoughts on Donald Trump. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/32162417

Prayers Needed // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 06/27/2024

Prayers Needed // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY Quick episode today. As I move forward with Wolf & Iron becoming a non-profit, mission-driven organization, I could use some prayer in finding the right people to fill the various roles. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/31911132

Self-Employed vs Entrepreneur // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 06/13/2024

Self-Employed vs Entrepreneur // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY Over the years I've met a lot of burned out entrepreneurs. But, as it turns out, they really aren't entrepreneurs at all. They are self-employed hard workers that have taken on the responsibility of an entire business. Maybe this is you, or someone you know. There is a difference between the self-employed individual and the mindset of an entrepreneur. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/31730612

We Were Right About Social Media // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 06/06/2024

We Were Right About Social Media // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY For those of us who remember the early days of social media, there was a thought that we had. I'm here to say that we were correct about our early assumptions. Now that social media is ubiquitous and is part of every day life, very few people I talk to actually enjoy it. Correction, no one I talk to enjoys it. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/31636362

Stop Making it Difficult // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 05/16/2024

Stop Making it Difficult // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY Whether it's weight loss, gaining muscle and flexibility, or growing in your career, most success isn't as difficult as we make it out to be. While we continue to research and gain information about dreams, someone else is busy making them a reality. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/31229357

Russell Brand & Celebrity Christians // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 05/09/2024

Russell Brand & Celebrity Christians // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY Russell Brand recently announced his acceptance of Jesus Christ as his savior! I'm excited for him and glad to see him profess Christ and not simply "God" in a generic sense. How should we handle folks like Brand and Jordan Peterson (who is still on a journey of sorts)? /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/31211912

Bosses, Managers, & Leaders // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 05/02/2024

Bosses, Managers, & Leaders // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY While we use the terms boss, manager, and leader interchangeably, there is actually an important difference between them. Different personality types and skillsets are required to be a manager vs a leader and there are times when a business needs one over the other. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/31086823

Testosterone - Part 2 // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 04/25/2024

Testosterone - Part 2 // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY Increasing testosterone naturally should be the first step on your journey to more optimal levels of testosterone. In this episode I share some of the supplements and lifestyle changes that may help. Note: I'm not a doctor and this is not medical advice. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/30884283

Testosterone - Part 1 // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 04/18/2024

Testosterone - Part 1 // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY Testosterone. Every man needs it and the average man is short on supply. How do we increase it and what about Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)? In this episode I share some of my journey with increasing my testosterone naturally and also why I decided to go on a TRT program. Note: I'm not a doctor and this is not medical advice. I'm just a man sharing his experience. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/30884183

Changes // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 04/11/2024

Changes // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY I've been fairly absent from the scene since the last podcast drop in July of 2023. In this episode, I catch you guys up to what's been going on in my world and some thoughts on the future of Wolf & Iron. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/30782428

Chris Bruno // Making the most of life's second half 07/31/2023

Chris Bruno // Making the most of life's second half There are a lot of books on entrepreneurship, marriage, and raising kids. In fact, you're likely to gain some needed wisdom on any of these subjects just by being with and observing people who are in that season of life. However, when it comes to the second half of life, let's say 40 onward, it can feel pretty lonely. My guest today is Chris Bruno and he's the author of Sage: A Man's Guide into His Second Passage. Chris brings focus into the oftentimes nebulous second stage of a man's life. In our conversation we talk about mid-life crises, reconnecting with our boyhood as we grow older, and avoiding the pitfalls so many men fall into as they begin to realize their youth is a thing of the past. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/27598107

A Year in Krav Maga // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 07/20/2023

A Year in Krav Maga // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY In this episode I share my experience of one year as a student of Krav Maga, the Israeli Self-Defense system taught all over the world to Special Forces, military, and individuals like myself. I'll go through why I chose Krav and how it's increased my situational awareness and confidence. Every man needs to be training to defend his life or the lives of those he could protect. This includes weapons training -- firearms in particular -- but also hand-to-hand, multiple attackers, car jackings, active shooters, and so on. Be ready, not just willing. Krav Maga can get you there. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/27497472

John Lovell // Living The Warrior Poet Way 07/11/2023

John Lovell // Living The Warrior Poet Way There are two complimentary natures in manhood; the warrior and the poet. Today, the man who can simultaneously appreciate the finer arts and yet stand strong in adversity seems to be a rare breed. My guest on this episode, John Lovell, calls men to this noble undertaking and shares his guiding principles in his book The Warrior Poet Way. This is the book I wish i had when I was in my early 30s and starting my journey of manhood in earnest. The Warrior Poet Way keeps the reader engaged while also imparting much needed wisdom in a man-to-man, relatable. Listen to the episode, then get a copy of the book. You'll be a better man for it. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/27408933

A Hindu President? // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 06/29/2023

A Hindu President? // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY is a presidential candidate worth listening to. He has the right ideas for America and is pushing for a dismantling of many agencies, including the FBI and CIA, and believes that America needs a common identity. I agree. We do. But, he is Hindu. While he has been open about being raised Hindu and still considers himself and his family Hindus, he was also raised with a good deal of knowledge and influence from Christianity. The questions I pose in this episode are these: If an American President is 99% of what you want -- Conservative, Independent, beholden to the people, etc. -- does it matter if he is a Christian or not? What are the implications for a non-Christian President? Does the American identity need to be explicitly Christian or can it be more of a set of ideals and principles apart from a specific religion? I give my answers at the end of the podcast, but these are great questions and ones we need to answer. Vivek isn't the first and he certainly won't be the last. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/27314601

The Father of Bodybuilding // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 05/04/2023

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. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/26743686

Get Back to the Basics // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 04/13/2023

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. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/26317887

The Problem with Modern Marriage // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 04/06/2023

The Problem with Modern Marriage // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY As our other business, , can attest people are still getting married. Nearly 2 million weddings happen in the US every year. However, the median age for marriage is now 30 and the divorce rate is still very high at nearly 40%. What people want from marriage and what they bring to a marriage have changed dramatically in the last 25+ years. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/26317848

The Necessary Bias of AI // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 03/30/2023

The Necessary Bias of AI // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY AI is here and to be honest, I'm both amazed and a bit terrified. It's astonishingly brilliant and at the same time deeply concerning. It's key that we, as men, don't bury our head in the sand on this and just assume the worse will happen. This is rapidly changing our world and we need to be up to speed on this and involved in the development. 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. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/26317791

Kids These Days // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 03/23/2023

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. Our job, as people who grew up in a different time, is to remind them of how things used to be and to let them know that the world they have been born into misses out on some very human experiences. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/26317539

Book Writing Tips (Plus something extra)! // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 02/23/2023

Book Writing Tips (Plus something extra)! // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY Although I still have a lot to learn, I've picked up a few helpful tips in writing and publishing 2 books. If you're getting started on your own book or you're just interested in the topic, you'll love this episode. Plus, I have a special thank you for all of you who have purchased from the Wolf & Iron store AND something special to be watching for! Check out both books here: /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/25967787

Raising Rebels // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 02/17/2023

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. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/25967712

ChatGPT, AI, & the Future of Manliness // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 02/09/2023

ChatGPT, AI, & the Future of Manliness // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY Unless you've been under a rock you've probably heard about something called ChatGPT. And if you have heard of it, some of you would like to go back under the rock rather than see what the world is becoming. AI is here and it's going to change things. ChatGPT just happens to be the eye-opening tool that makes this undeniable. In truth, it's pretty incredible...and it's only getting started. As the world progresses with technology we have seen so many of the blessings of living in a modern age. But we've also seen the pull towards laziness and ease. Men have a quiet desire to live their lives more fully and yet give in to the world of entertainment and abdication of responsibility so readily. AI will definitely present new challenges for men, but also incredible opportunities for those of us who can wield it. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/25879245

When You're Raised Poor // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 01/26/2023

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. I didn't realize how deeply inset certain thoughts patterns were and how they impacted so many areas of my life. In this episode, I talk about the ingrained beliefs we carry with us when we come from limited means. /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/25732110

The Good Men Fallacy // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY 01/19/2023

The Good Men Fallacy // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY There's a common quote which has the best of intentions, but also has a serious error. Some men believe they can be good in their heart and yet never display the actions to back up their belief. Belief is always backed by action. Speaking of action: /episode/index/show/wolfandiron/id/25657161
