In this podcast episode I talk about the last year of manliness with Wolf & Iron, what's coming up in 2017, and talk quite a bit about some issues and resolutions in my family life.

I had the pleasure of talking to Shannon Duffy, one of the founders of Tender Belly, makers of some of the finest bacon you can get, and we not only covered the subject of bacon in all of its delicious glory, we also came up with an awesome contest in which you have a chance to Win a Year Supply of Bacon from Tender Belly.

David Redding (better known as DREDD) is one of the most motivating guys I know. He's one of those guys that has a sort of inspirational presence that really connects with other men. When he's talking about being a better leader, father, husband, friend...men take note. He's also one of the men who started F3, which has not only helped thousands of men get fit (for free) but has also ignited the fires of leadership in their lives. I know from personal experience that this is an amazing brotherhood to be a part of, which is why I was keen on getting him on the podcast. I know we like to hear from people who "know" about things, but here's a guy who lives it out. This is a great episode!

Daniel McKim is a multi-Scottish Highland Games World Champion, a big fella, and a strong believer in Christ. In this episode I talk with Daniel on life as a big guy,

Author, speaker, podcaster, and founder of The Good Dad Project, Larry Hagner, joins me on the Wolf & Iron podcast to talk about one of the most important topics a man can succeed in: Fatherhood. Larry is such an open guy and we covered a lot of ground in this episode. The piece on Fathering Forward (we didn’t call it that but that is what I am calling it now) was really impactful for both of us and was something that evolved from the conversation. One of the things I really respect about Larry is his dedication to fitness, which is where a lot of dads fall short. We tend to put fitness on the back burner once kids come along, though this is precisely the time we need to be fit (kids are a lot of work).

EuGene Jordan, founder of menandmarriage.com, and I talk about a man's role in the family, the state of men in the UK, what the rate of divorce says about society, the consequences of a growing Godlessness, and much more. This is a great, and very real conversation. Plus I do a pretty excellent English accent at the beginning. :-). Head over to http://wolfandiron.com/008 to find out more about EuGene Jordan and Men and Marriage.

For this Father's Day special podcast men share stories about their grandfathers, fathers, or mentors who set the example of fatherhood and manliness in their lives.

I came across Ben Hewitt a few years ago. He's a man living much of the way many men desire to live: by the sweat of his brow, on his own land, raising and growing food, educating his children as he sees best, and seeing how his hard work directly contributes to the well-being of his family. Ben also shares his life with the rest of us through his blog http://benhewitt.net, and has a few books you should definitely check out. He has a point of view on the world that is quickly fading but is sorely needed and I am glad to have him on the podcast.

Marc Ford, former lead guitarist of The Black Crowes, shares his story: his early love for music, world-wide fame and success in his 20's, leaving the scene for a while, getting his life back, new music, and more. It's an epic podcast that you don't want to miss.

I talk to successful 19 year old blacksmith Liam Hoffman of Hoffman Blacksmithing on how he found his calling at such a young age, pursuing your passions, and a bit on social media marketing (which he has an obvious knack for). More information can be found at http://wolfandiron.com/004

Aaron Jannetti shares his expertise on a number of areas of self-defense disciplines and focuses in on the goal of saving your life and the life of those you care about.

I talk to David and Jason Benham on: Being a man of conviction, Godly Character, and Manliness. (Plus Trump and Cruz and a few other things!)

In this, the first episode of the Wolf & Iron Podcast, I share my story, how Wolf & Iron got started, and a charge to all men wanting to see a change in themselves and their world.
