The Importance of Knowing Your Identity with David Ask
There are so many competing messages for what it means to be a man today. And the goal of this season is to get different perspectives that hopefully create a similar kind of blueprint on what it means to be a man.
On today’s episode, I am joined by a good friend, David Ask – my mentor, colleague, and peer. He’s the leader of my mastermind group, a father, husband and entrepreneur. We dive into his view of masculinity and how his passion for helping men rediscover their identity plays into that.

4 Tips for Succeeding in Business as a Christian Today
This week, I am going solo to share a little bit of my heart on what I believe it looks like to succeed as a Christian in business today. After serving as a pastor for 8 years, I stepped down, realizing I had more to offer the kingdom of God in the business world than I did in the church. And in these challenging times, there are 4 topics I want to touch on that I think can be really helpful to those trying to live out their faith in the business world:
Know your calling and purpose Go to battle with the right firepowerHave hope and security in challenging timesBe consistent

Embrace Vulnerability and Overcome Your Insecurities with Jason Pearl, Founder, and President of Nacre Consulting
My goal with this podcast is to provide you with authentic conversations with men who by no means have everything figured out, but are trying their best to live out the life they’ve been called to. No one’s perfect and nobody’s ever operating at a 10 out of 10 in every area of their life 100% of the time, it’s just not real. So surrounding yourself with other people that you can emulate, go through life together and mentor is vital. Putting yourself out there requires vulnerability and humility. But once you do, you’ll unlock new levels of where you can go.
This week, I am joined by Jason Pearl – fellow coach and consultant, podcast host, husband, father and Christ-follower – to talk about rewiring your brain when life isn’t turning out the way you thought it would and overcoming vulnerability and insecurities.

Life and Finances from a Recovering Workaholic, with Ian Ullman
As men, there’s this common expectation that we are supposed to be the providers for our families. That’s all well and good but it can definitely cause some problems. Maybe you’re using this title as a provider as an excuse to run yourself ragged, and never spend any quality time with your family. Or maybe you just never really had a great example of how to manage money and make good financial decisions.
This week, I am joined by Ian Ullman – husband, father of 4 and mortgage wizard. We talk about the lessons he’s learned as a recovering workaholic, the common financial problems men face as leaders of the family, the importance of a transparent community and so much more!
