Failures, victories, challenges, setbacks, ups and downs, and everything in between. They’re all part of life. It’s how we frame the rollercoaster of events and what we do about them that make us men. Today, I’m joined by longtime friend, serial entrepreneur, hunter, husband, and father, Rick Trimmer to talk about some of his biggest challenges and how he’s learned to overcome the adversity to create an incredible life for himself and family. We cover the path of least resistance and the path of most resistance, overcoming failure and losing everything, doing the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, and putting one foot in front of the other every day.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Why men have trouble going deep into relationships The power of genuine curiosity You need to keep pushing through challenging times Achieving your goals doesn’t happen overnight Getting through life minute by minute Sometimes its appropriate to feel ashamed Helping other men learn from your mistakes Finding purpose in the absence of religion Being a “stay at home dad” Showing gratitude to those who support you   Order Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto.   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

With as much craziness and violence we see in public these days, it’s crucial that we as men learn how to effectively protect and defend ourselves and those we love. Fortunately, with a little intentionality and planning it’s not all that difficult to keep ourselves and others safe. Today, I’m joined by Former Navy SEAL, FBI Agent, and Federal Air Marshall, Jonathan Gilliam to talk about how to do just that. We cover the concept of preparation versus paranoia, the default of awareness, when to get involved in situations and when not to, the “crawl, walk, run” theory, and recognizing and neutralizing threats before they occur.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   The difference between paranoia and preparation The danger of complacency Know God before you can achieve anything Groupthink is rampant and out of control Evil thoughts are often emotional and not logical   Order Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto.   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

Hunting is not only something that provides a challenge and sustains life for many of us, as it has for countless generations.  But it also provides unique and powerful opportunities to build bonds between those with whom we share these experiences.  Last week, I had the opportunity to share such an experience with my son, Brecken, as we set out on a moose hunt in the wilderness of northern Maine.   On today’s episode, Brecken and I share the story of how we harvested a beautiful bull moose in an epic hunt, filled with disappointments, missed shots, but ultimately success…and how the greatest success of all had nothing to do with hunting.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Drawing the lucky moose tag Getting settled into camp The moose habitat in Maine Early opportunities in the hunt Success on the last day Team effort to bring down the beast The highlight of the trip had nothing to do with hunting   Order Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto.   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?
