Join us in this week ASK ME ANYTHING as we share our exciting preparations for an upcoming axis deer archery hunt in Hawaii. Listen in as we detail the rigorous daily archery practice sessions and the vital adjustments needed for pinpoint accuracy – reminiscent of zeroing in a rifle. We'll explore the delicate balance between high expectations and the humility that comes with such an immersive outdoor experience, emphasizing the need for adaptability, not just in hunting, but in all walks of life. Power and leadership come with immense responsibility, a theme we tackle head-on as we discuss the contentious ideas put forth by Erik Prince and the ethical implications they carry. We scrutinize the thin line between the beneficial use and potential abuse of power, drawing insights from religious texts and philosophical musings on the human condition.

If we have any hope of saving this great nation, we’re going to have to learn to turn to the generation behind us and equip them with the mindset of truth, righteousness, and individual responsibility. Unfortunately, much of society (including the halls of academia where they spend most of their time) are hellbent on instilling the mindset of relativism, degeneracy, and victimhood. Today, I’m joined by Harrison Schenck of Save Your Sons to talk about what it’s going to take to turn the tide of culture for our boys who we’ll eventually call on to lead. We talk about the participation trophy generation, the warped conception of what a man is, overcoming the neediness of boys and men, when comparison can serve us, the dangers of “white knighting,” and saving our sons for and from society.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS  (00:00) Episode Intro  (00:50) Navigating Authenticity in Online Presence  (08:00) Understanding Masculinity in Modern Society  (18:25) Understanding Masculinity and Modern Relationships  (29:14) Pre-Grieving and Voluntary Hardship  (40:10) Maximizing Potential Through Comparison  (43:11) Importance of Caring What Others Think  (46:11) Legacy, Truth, and Setting Examples  (50:41) Gender Roles and Response Max Rule  (57:24) Men and Women  (01:03:42) Collaboration for Positive Impact   Order of Man Merchandise.
