In a previous episode I talked about how to slow life down, take the time to smell the roses and have new experiences, count your blessings and so on. In this episode, I talk about the unique power of time seeming to move by more quickly and how you can apply that to your life for some big wins you may have avoided when you were younger.
AI doesn't seem to be slowing down. While the robots plot our destruction, here are a few ways to use them to better yourself, as a man, and be prepared for the oncoming apocalypse of unimaginable prosperity and havitude (my word for an attitude of having it all).
Just a quick note to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! I'm looking forward to a very manly 2026!
Abraham Maslow created his hierarchy of needs, which most of us are familiar with. But there are some important aspects he didn't consider which relate to how we mature and find steadiness in modern life.
One logical fallacy I often see -- and have likely committed -- is moving between the possible vs the ideal. What is possible may not always be ideal, but what we promote should always be ideal.
It's important for a man to have hobbies, work, people, and other interests that moves his heart. As we get older, cynicism can set it and we begin to focus on what was instead of what is and is to come. This episode is all about finding new loves in your life.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! Here are some thoughts for the faithful listeners.
Wolf & Iron is now Wolf & Iron Foundation. As a nonprofit there will be some changes, but many things will stay the same. The biggest difference is that we are now mission forward and capable of so much more than before.
In this episode I share some thoughts on gender and gender identity. I also talk about how we often run from an argument or select an opposing view rather than thoughtfully responding to our critics.
To the new Christians out there, welcome! There's been a boom in the number of Christians over the last weeks and months since Charlie Kirk's assassination. Here are some thoughts for new Christians that I hope you will find helpful.
Every man goes through seasons in life: Kids, marriage, job changes, injuries etc. But, it's key to not let those seasons become the standards for how you live. If you lose ground, it's important to regain it.
Here in the South, we seem to have a gentler approach when it comes to negotiating or even asking for simple things. We don't like to offend folks and we also don't like rejection. This results in a lot of hemming and hawing that could be avoided by simply being more direct. Big shoutout to an excellent book Never Split the Difference. Give it a read!
There are typically two sides discussed when it comes to God's sovereignty and man's free will, having one or the other be the only options available. But, what if there was a way God could be both sovereign and man to have free will? Here's a quick introduction on Molonism.
I'm all for self-improvement -- which should be obvious given the mission of Wolf & Iron -- but there is a side to it which can lead to self-absorbed, individualism which is never a good thing. Focusing too much on ourselves can lead to selfishness. Don't wait to be perfect in order to have someone in your life to grow with.
Raising kids can be tough. I'd give it an overall 7.5/10. But when they begin making it on their own, it really pays off.
Growing up in an undistracted world was such a blessing. It's a shame most young men won't experience it these days. It's yet another thing that we have to be intentional about. Boredom increases creativity and relaxes the mind (after a bit of frustration) and we could all use more of it.
A few thoughts on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk.
As I mentioned a while back in the podcast titled, "Changes" Wolf & Iron is going to become a nonprofit. The new 501c3 will be titled The Wolf & Iron Foundation. Some initial approvals by the state and fed have already taken place! Now we wait for the final approval by the feds. In this episode I talk a bit about why I am making this change as well as what will change and what will remain the same about Wolf & Iron!
Trump won and it looks like we're about to get America back!
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.

Awesome! TY
good one
is it me, or is there background music playing as you speak? I found it very distracting and couldn't listen.
kind of girly
Though you are not brought up impressively, I have to admit that what you are doing now is very impressive. Thanks for the podcast!
Pray like it all depends on God. Work like it all depends on you
