I want to have a heart-to-heart conversation with you today about relationships. The world we live in is filled with complexities surrounding gender, sexual orientation, and personal choices. It can be incredibly confusing, especially if you're a man like me, married to a woman, and finding that your marriage isn't working as you hoped. When we find ourselves in such a situation, it's natural to s...

Today I want to have a heart-to-heart with you about what it means to be a modern-day minister. This topic has been on my mind lately as I've been on my own faith journey. I've become acutely aware of something specific that I feel called to work with: men. Yes, I work with dads, husbands, moms, couples, and families too, but my focus has been on helping men navigate their spiritual paths. You see...

Today, I want to share a personal story with you. It's about a race I recently participated in, and it taught me some valuable lessons that I believe can apply to various aspects of our lives. So there I was, standing on Killington Mountain, ready to take on the Spartan Ultra race. It was a pivotal moment for me because I had failed to finish this race in the past, and I was determined to change t...

Today I want to share a personal story with you. It's about my journey with fitness, overcoming obstacles, and finding a deeper connection with God. So let's dive in. Fitness has been such a significant part of my life for the past 12 to 15 years. It all started with my first Spartan Race, the Spartan Sprint, over a decade ago. I remember feeling incredibly nervous before that race. I mean, it was...

Today, I want to discuss something that I find truly fascinating and thought-provoking. It's about the world we live in and how everything we encounter is shaped by agreements. It's crazy when you stop and think about it. All the structures, systems, and even the smallest details we take for granted have been invented by someone and agreed upon by others. You see, we're born into a world filled wi...

Today, I want to dive into a topic that's been on my mind lately: God's plan for our lives. It's something I've been actively exploring and trying to understand in my own journey of faith. Every interaction, every conversation, every decision we make leaves a mark on the tapestry of existence. God's plan accounts for all of it. You are an infinite reality, and your choices matter. You co-create wi...

  Today I had the pleasure of welcoming my dear friend Gordon  as a special guest. We delved into various topics, including Gordon's faith journey and how we first met. Our paths crossed five years ago when we became part of a mastermind group. We were grouped together based on our geographic location, and since then, we have shared many experiences, including attending a life-changing mastermind...

  Today, I want to dive into a topic that's close to my heart and I believe it will resonate with all of you who are listening. We've been discussing the importance of family, connection, spirituality, and what it truly means to live a meaningful life. I want to share something with you today that might be new and eye-opening for many of you. Throughout my journey and studies, I've come across a p...

Today is a really special day because it's Mother's Day 2023. As I sit here behind the mic, I can't help but reflect on the incredible journey of motherhood. It's a journey filled with ups and downs, and I want to take this time to honor and appreciate all the moms out there. You know, Mother's Day is just one day out of the whole year, but it should be a reminder that moms deserve recognition eve...

Today, I want to discuss something interesting with you, my fellow brothers, as we embark on the journey of becoming real men. Being a man is more than just physical attributes like height or weight. It's about being fully alive, present, and connected to our passion and purpose. It means pursuing a life on fire, embracing our emotions, and not getting stuck in a state of perpetual boyhood. I'm ta...

I want to talk about something that has been on my mind lately, something that I think is important for all of us, including my own children. Life has its ups and downs, and there are times when we need to understand what's happening around us. That's where discernment comes in.  Discernment has become a significant part of my life in the past few weeks because I've experienced some incredible cha...

I wanted to share something with you today that's been weighing heavily on my heart. The topic isn't awesome at all, in fact, it's quite tragic. I've been having conversations with men from all walks of life - business owners, police officers, soldiers, everyday men - and there's a common theme among them.  They're struggling in their marriages and relationships, and the problem is prevalent throu...

Today is a special day for me. I just wanted to share something personal with you all. About a week ago, I completed my ordination and became a Reverend. Now, you might be wondering, what does that really mean? Does it mean that I am now holier than thou? No, not at all. To me, this title means that I have made a commitment to my faith and to my journey. It means that I have decided to dedicate my...

Today's topic is something that's been heavy on my mind lately, and I want to share it with you all. It's a quote that's been making the rounds: "God doesn't call the qualified, God qualifies the called." I posted it on my Facebook account yesterday because I've been dealing with some difficult emotions within my family and personal life. Balancing my family business and being there for my childre...

  Today's topic is one that's really important to me. It's something that I believe in so strongly that I want to pass it on to the next generation. I call it "Chivalry is not Dead." Now, I know it might sound a bit old-fashioned, but bear with me. In this episode, I'm speaking directly to all you men out there – husbands, fathers, boyfriends – who want to be the best possible partners to your sig...

Today's episode is about something really special that happened recently. My daughter, Savannah, participated in a horseback riding show, and it was a rainy day when we went to see her. That day, she rode a horse she had only ridden once before, a stubborn horse named Blue. I'm going to tell you what happened at the show, but first, let me talk about a concept that's important to me as a parent: ...

Today, I want to talk about parenting and something that's been on my mind recently. As a parent, when your child does something wrong, it's natural to have an immediate emotional response. But what do you do with that emotion? I've noticed that many parents, especially fathers, tend to shy away from taking an active role in parenting. It's often assumed that the mom is responsible for dealing wit...

Over the past five years since I started Scendancy, I've been on quite the journey. We've gone through many evolutions in the business, and while some of my partners have been skeptical, I've always known that my purpose has been centered around two things: family and transformation. Years ago, I had an idea to film life lessons from parents and grandparents, capturing their life stories on video....

Today, I want to talk to you, husbands and fathers about something that comes up often in relationships. I've personally experienced an evolution in my own relationship with my significant other that I want to share with you. I started with familiarity, and I've seen the way that men show up as boys in their marriages. It may sting a bit, but hear me out.  Most of us grew up in a household where t...

As a father, one of my biggest hopes is to leave behind something truly valuable for my children, something that will help them in their personal and professional lives. That's why I'm passionate about discussing family-owned businesses on this podcast. I believe that they're the backbone of our economy and that they have the potential to bring families together. However, as someone who has worked...

I've been on a journey where I've come to realize just how much fear has been running my life. I remember times early on in my career where something as simple as introducing myself on a conference call was a source of fear for me. My throat would tighten up and I would feel completely stopped by fear. Looking back on those moments now, it seems crazy to me. But that's how my life was back then. I...

Starting over can be a difficult and painful experience, but it also presents an opportunity to create a new future. Whether the decision to start over is forced upon us or we choose it ourselves, we are faced with leaving behind the things that brought us to this point in our journey. However, the lessons we learned along the way stay with us and can be applied to our new path. Starting over allo...
