Today, I want to talk about such an important topic and one which is easy to overlook simply because we’ve all heard about it so often. That said, I believe establishing a healthy morning routine is one of the most important things you can do during your day as it really establishes the benchmark, the …
A Man’s Responsibility to Future Generations | Matt Labrum
This one is special to me. As most of you know, I grew up without a permanent father figure in my life. I’ve mentioned in the past that there was a select group of men who helped mold and shape me into the man that I am today. I’m not sure there is another man …

The Folly of “Zero Fu*ks Given”
You’ve likely heard of the phrase “zero fu*ks given.” While I can understand to a degree what anyone may be saying when they use that term, I can’t help but see the mistake in that line of thinking – especially for men. Your job is the exact opposite of that sentiment. Your job is to …
163: The True Cost of Liberty | Braxton McCoy
Guys, if you listen to just one of my podcast, please make it be this one. Today, I am joined by my friend and fellow soldier, Braxton McCoy. He and I served in Iraq together in 2005-2006. One day we were playing softball together and the next day, I hear he’s been hit by a …
Leaders are Readers
Some of the greatest men the world has ever known are voracious readers. Teddy Roosevelt was said to read a book every morning. General James Mattis is said to have a library of over 600 books. Bill Gates reads a book a week. Mark Cuban reads for 3 hours every day. Elon Musk was once …
162: Tapping Into Your Hidden Networks | David Burkus
There is no such thing as the self-made man. While I can certainly understand and even appreciate the gesture, the truth is that every successful man had some help along the way. That help usually comes in the form of others. My guest today is David Burkus. He is the author of Friend of a …

Building a Thriving Tribe
I want to talk with you about building a thriving tribe. Now, this may be a conversation geared towards those who are working to build their own business/social media tribes like we’ve done here but, really, it’s for any man who wants to lead. And, all men are leaders. So, whether you’re leading a tribe …
161: Saved From Success | Dale Partridge
Today, we talk about something we’ve never directly addressed on this podcast, God. Now, before you tune me out based on that word alone, I believe that regardless of what you believe, there is something to be learned in every conversation and every experience. That’s why, when my friend, Dale Partridge reached out to talk …
Building a Tribe, Developing Confidence, and the Drive for Better
On this week’s Friday Field Notes I answer questions from the men in our Facebook Group: How do you find a new tribe when the current tribe becomes complacent? What is the best way to build a new network when you have moved across country/state and you truly don’t know anyone? What are some of …

160: The Value Proposition | Tyler Harris
Adding value is a phrase we’ll all heard. Like any word the marketers of the world get ahold of, it begins to lose some of it’s meaning when it’s overused. But that overuse doesn’t make it any less valuable as a strategy for growth and success. My guest today, Tyler Harris, is using the idea …
Fuel to the Fire
I spend a lot of time talking to men on a daily basis. One thing I’m always intrigued by is the fire that I can see (or can’t see) simply by looking into their eyes. It’s been said that “the eyes are the window to the soul.” If that’s true, you can tell a lot …
159: Embrace the Suffering | Rorke Denver
Suffering isn’t typically something people like to attract in their lives but the reality is you cannot fully escape it. It’s part of the human experience. So, rather than run from the unexpected suffering we’re all likely to face, my guest, Navy SEAL Commander Rorke Denver suggests we run towards it and embrace it instead. …
