Bearded Monkey Podcast

In today's episode of The Bearded Monkey Podcast, I read excerpts from the book, Alone At Dawn, which was written by Dan Schilling and Lori Chapman Longfritz. There is no way I can pay the respect due to John Chapman, who was killed in action, in 2002, in the mountains of Afghanistan. John was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 2018, 16 years after his death. I have always been inspired by this story and a 60 minute episode does him no justice. I would encourage any of the listeners of the show to read this book, because it will leave you inspired. As always, if you like the show, share the show with someone you think might also enjoy it.

Today on The Bearded Monkey Podcast, I was able to collaborate with Jared Hazel from the Denver Crux Podcast. He and I have known each-other for several years and have each been hosted on the other's show. Anytime I get the chance to sit and chat with Jared, it's never dull, so I figured why not record and upload? Oh, and it was a bonus to be able to have "Kris" on the show with us. You will certainly enjoy his insight. On today's show, we cover a plethora of topics, ranging from preparedness and mindset. But, we also talk about ways you can better protect yourself and those near and dear to you.

Best gear to bring with you on your person anytime you're cruising around town on foot. Best gear to have and keep at your residence . Best gear to bring on a hike or any time you're spending outdoors. Lastly, we discuss mindset and skillset each and every one of you ought to aim for.

On today's episode of The Bearded Monkey Podcast, I am pleased to sit down and have a conversation with the owner/operator for Warrior Hippie Clothing and Apparel. It's a Colorado based clothing company that truly supports military and first responders on their journey during and after their years of Service. Tim is the genuine article and I think you'll truly appreciate his message and story. Tim shares his origin story and talks about what inspired him to want to pursue Warrior Hippie and to reach out to members of the veteran and first responder Community; true heroes that have given so much to the Country they love. Warrior Hippie Apparel can be purchased from their website warriorhippieapparel.com. You can also check them out on Instagram @warriorhippieapparel.

Today, on the Bearded Monkey Podcast, I sit down with Lisa Michelle Dee. We discuss a broad range of topics. This was the first ever full length video podcast, where I used Riverside.FM to record the show. Little ups and downs, but thanks to some editing by the wife, it turned out amazing!

She encompasses exactly what the Bearded Monkey Podcast is all about. She pursues that Personal Excellence every day and has had doubters every step of the way.

In today's episode, the Bearded Monkey Podcast discusses the various podcast formats the show is utilizing moving forward. Solo Podcasts will consist of a 10-20 minute episode where I will touch on one news story (today, I talk about former NFL quarterback, Ryan Mallett). I will also talk about one amazing or motivational story. And lastly, I will talk about some thoughts moving on in the coming days. La and Cody Podcasts will consist of episodes ranging around an hour in length. I will have one news story. One short story where we break down some key points of the story. Then, we will wrap them up with some food for thought moving forward. Guest and Cody Podcasts will consist of a random guest, often times video recorded. We will have them tell their stories in their words. These will vary in length but will usually be between 60 and 90 minutes in length. We will ask all of them the following five questions: 1) Their Origin Story. 2) What do they do now?  3) How do they do what they do now (their typical day)? 4) Their advice for anyone wanting to do what they do. And lastly, 5) this is a two part question, but what are some of the ways they stay disciplined and/or motivated to do what they do?

In this episode of the Bearded Monkey Podcast episode, we finish our two-part series on the late, great, Booker T. Washington. This was in celebration of Black History Month. Booker T. was an individual we can all learn from. His pursuit of EXCELLENCE and his motivation to get there, is what inspired me and if you're a fan of the Bearded Monkey Podcast, you'll be inspired too. Booker T. was a teacher/educator that brought a much different MINDSET than most educators even in today's day and age.

Today, we preview the next episode of the Bearded Monkey Podcast. Tomorrow's podcast is going to wrap up our two part series on the great American, Booker T. Washington. We'll be taking a deep dive into some excerpts from the book, Up From Slavery, again. But, we'll also share some personal thoughts and feelings on the man and what he brought to the United States during a very trying time in our history. Can't wait to share this one with you. God Bless! #welcometothefamily#beardedmonkeytactical#beardedmonkeypodcast#personalexcellence#functionalfitness#firearmstraining#fitnesstraining#godblessamerica#uscca#coloradosownpersonalexcellencepodcast

In this episode, I read out of the book titled "Up From Slavery." It is an autobiography written by Booker T. Washington. My co-host, Lasamoa and I discuss the book and some of our thoughts on the writing. Again, we at Bearded Monkey Tactical, believe that inspiring others to pursue excellence in themselves is what our mission is.  The mindset of Booker T. Washington goes hand in hand with that. I hope you're as touched as I was by reading this book and I encourage you to purchase a copy for yourself.  Please reach out to us at beardedmonkeytactical@gmail.com, or check out what we're all about at beardedmonkeytactical.com on the web. #welcometothefamily#beardedmonkeytactical#beardedmonkeypodcast#personalexcellence#functionalfitness#firearmstraining#fitnesstraining#godblessamerica#uscca#coloradosownpersonalexcellencepodcast
