In this episode I talk about finishing my first triathlon, and share my thoughts on my finishers medal... and some other stuff.

In this episode I talk about the benefits of contemplating, and accepting death, as well as some personal stories involving the subject. oh and get to the end to find out if my mastiff farted loud enough for the mic to pick it up...  

In this episode, I talk about some of my own personal struggles, and share a crazy story about the time my neighbors son got shot, and I had to plug him up til the Fire Dept picked him up. I also talk about how much i appreciate everything in my life, including my struggles.

This episode was recorded with a long term mentor or mine. He has been an example of a good man, and has shown a light on the path to follow since I was a teenager. In this episode we talk about a quite a bit. From how to lead and mentor the stubborn assholes like myself, to riding a dirt bike 36 miles though rough terrain with a broken hip. The episode is long, but there is a lot to be learned from it. 

In this episode I talk with my step dad, who I consider to be my father, about what a good man is to him, and how he strives to be that. Again ive learned some valuable lessons from this, and truly think you could get something from it as well.

In this episode, I sit down with a new friend and talk about how the birth of his children and the passing of his father have helped shape him into who he is today. 

In this episode, I come to a self realization as I talk about making yourself uncomfortable, as well as wonder if those kung fu nut kicker guys are built like ken dolls.

I learned a lot from this podcast. More so about the mindset of my dad, and how that was shaped by his surroundings, and ultimately how it influenced a lot of his choices in life. Its amazing the things you can learn about a person and their mentality, not just the mentality itself, but how it was shaped, if you just listen to them. I also learned, that if you find yourself in a strip club, on your way to the "emperors sweet", and you need a way out.... just force security to walk you out. Hope you all enjoy. 

In this episode I talk about some wise words shared by Ron Swanson on the TV show, Parks and Rec. I explain my struggle with taking on too many projects and break down how we can go from feeling like we dont have time for anything, to doing a few things that truly mean the most to us, and what those projects require, in order to be completed. 

In this short episode, I just explain what the idea behind the podcast is, and what I aim to bring to the listeners.
