    Ep 89 Kyle Kindle

    Kyle Kindle Kyle Kindle joins Buster for an honest conversation about creativity, ego, and learning to listen to God. Kyle opens up about building a podcast studio, closing its doors, and confronting how much of his identity had become wrapped up in making it work. From finding God in the quiet to showing up for your wife and kids, this episode explores what happens when we stop trying to prove ourselves and start taking small, meaningful steps. There’s laughter, some unexpected detours, and a reminder that you don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. Five key points Create without waiting for perfection. Why getting started matters more than having the perfect equipment, plan, or audience. Examine the ambition behind the dream. Kyle reflects on his studio and the difference between following God and feeding his ego. Make room for silence. You both share personal experiences of feeling God’s presence when the noise finally stopped. Lead through service and boundaries. Show up for your family while taking responsibility for your own choices. Turn insight into action. Why another book, conference, or AI-generated plan means little without consistent follow-through.

    EP 88 Mario Vega

    Mario Vega What does it really mean to be a good father? And are we preparing our children for the world they're growing up in? In Episode 88 of the Good Old Boy Podcast, Buster sits down with longtime friend and licensed counselor Mario Vega for a conversation about fatherhood, faith, family, and the challenges facing today's generation. With nearly 15 years of experience working with children and teenagers, Mario has witnessed firsthand how family dynamics, technology, and the presence—or absence—of strong male role models can shape a child's future. Together, Buster and Mario explore the realities of raising kids in a world dominated by social media, instant gratification, and constant distractions. They discuss why children need to experience failure, how parents can establish boundaries without sacrificing love, and why simply being physically present isn't enough. But this conversation goes beyond parenting. It's about understanding the responsibility men have to their families, their communities, and the next generation. Mario shares his journey into counseling, how finding Jesus gave his work a deeper purpose, and why strong men don't have to choose between authority and compassion. They also explore an incredible story about young elephants growing up without mature male role models—and what happened when experienced males were introduced into their environment. Sometimes the greatest thing a man can do isn't something extraordinary. It's simply showing up, loving his family, and leading by example. And when Buster asks Mario to leave the audience with one piece of Good Old Boy wisdom, his answer is simple: "Enjoy in good health." Because life is happening right now. Don't wait until you've run out of time, energy, or opportunity to start living it. In This Episode The challenges facing today's children and teenagers How social media and technology are changing childhood Why fathers need to be present AND involved The importance of strong male role models Teaching children how to lose and overcome failure Balancing grace, accountability, and unconditional love How faith shapes leadership and fatherhood Why building relationships is the foundation of discipline The importance of brotherhood and surrounding yourself with good men Making the most of your time, money, and energy Faith. Family. Brotherhood. Purpose. That's what being a Good Old Boy is all about. 🎙️ The Good Old Boy Podcast — Episode 88 Follow us on Facebook Follow us on Instagram Follow us on YouTube Find out more at http://goodoldboypodcast.com Read transcript

    EP 85 Paul Edwards

    EP 85 Cause Joy | Paul Edwards Buster first met Paul as his massage therapist. Somewhere between working through a bad back, talking ’90s music, and trading book recommendations, they became friends who challenge each other to grow. In this conversation, Paul and Buster talk about caring for your body before pain becomes your normal, catching the words you use about yourself, facing everyday fears, and being present with the people around you. It all leads to a simple idea: cause joy. Five things they get into: How driving, desk work, and other daily habits can affect how your body feels Why taking care of yourself deserves a place on the calendar What changes when you replace “I’m trying” with an honest look at what you’re doing How fear and negative self-talk can hold you back Why noticing someone and saying something kind can change their day Paul and his wife Tracy run Tabletime Massage in League City, Texas.

    EP 84 Nathan Bennett

    EP 84 Nathan Bennett What happens when you stop trying to be just one kind of athlete? In this episode of The Good Old Boy Podcast, Buster sits down with Nathan Bennett — a self-described “fitness butterfly” who has bounced from GORUCK events and F3 to running, strongman competitions, hiking, bodybuilding, and whatever challenge happens to catch his attention next. Nathan shares how he went from being relatively inactive to discovering that he was capable of doing far more than he ever realized. Along the way, the conversation gets into the value of doing hard things, Type 2 fun, suffering alongside your buddies, and why sometimes the best way to grow is simply to sign up for something that scares you a little. Nathan also takes us behind the scenes of preparing for his first bodybuilding competition — the meal prep, training, sacrifices, spray tan, posing, and mental battle that comes with getting stage-ready. But just three weeks before his original competition date, a serious health setback forced him to pull out and reevaluate everything he had been working toward. Instead of quitting, Nathan recovered, reset the goal, and got back after it. Buster and Nathan also talk about something that often gets overlooked when chasing ambitious goals: the impact those goals have on your wife, family, friendships, and everyday life. Personal improvement is great, but not when the people closest to you are constantly paying the price for it. Ultimately, this episode isn't really about bodybuilding, running, rucking, or strongman. It's about being willing to try. Nathan's Good Old Boy wisdom sums it up perfectly: don't let the fear of failure keep you from trying something different. You're probably capable of far more than you realize. Maybe you don't need to find your one thing. Maybe you just need to become a fitness butterfly.

    EP 83 - Billy Gaskey & Travis Green "Surrender the Glory"

    EP 83 - Billy Gaskey & Travis Green "Surrender the Glory" Billy Gaskey and Travis Green, hosts of the Surrender the Glory Podcast, finally sit down with Buster for a conversation that has been a couple of years in the making. What starts with homeschooling, raising kids, and building community quickly turns into a much deeper conversation about faith, fatherhood, mentoring young men, vulnerability, and what happens when men stop giving the automatic “I’m good” answer. Billy and Travis share their experiences working with young men through church and youth ministry, including why connection has to come before correction and why today's young men need trustworthy adults willing to walk beside them, listen, and have conversations that aren't always comfortable. The guys also dig into the mission behind Surrender the Glory: giving people a place to tell their testimony. Not every story needs addiction, disaster, or a rock-bottom comeback. Sometimes the testimony is simply remaining faithful through ordinary life. Every story has value, because a story that seems ordinary to you may be exactly what someone else needs to hear. And because this is still the Good Old Boy Podcast, it doesn't stay serious the whole time. The conversation wanders through rucking, growing up in the '80s and '90s, questionable childhood decisions, Antarctica, Missing 411, dolphins, conspiracy theories, and plenty of other rabbit holes. Underneath it all, though, is a conversation about men showing up for their families, showing up for younger generations, showing up for one another, and being willing to admit when life isn't as simple as “I'm good.” As Travis puts it, men often carry things because they don't want to burden somebody else—but sometimes talking about it is exactly what takes a little weight out of the backpack.

    EP 81: Guns, Grit & the 80% Solution | Thomas “JAX” Jackson of Shoot With JAX

    EP 82: Thomas "JAX" Jackson In this episode, I sit down with my friend Thomas "JAX" Jackson, creator of the YouTube channel Shoot With JAX. What starts as a conversation about firearms, training, filmmaking, and building a YouTube channel turns into a much broader discussion about discipline, leadership, adventure, family, friendship, and deliberately doing hard things. JAX talks about why he started his channel. Not because he considered himself an expert, but because he wanted to become a better shooter and learn filmmaking along the way. We also revisit our Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim and Yosemite Misogi adventures, including some difficult decisions JAX helped make when things didn't go according to plan. From flying Marine Corps Cobra attack helicopters and commercial jets to training in Afghanistan, raising a family, staying fit, and building something creative on YouTube, the conversation ultimately comes back to growth through action, authenticity, and surrounding yourself with people willing to push alongside you.

    EP 81 - Fernando Chavira

    EP 81 - Fernando Chavira In Episode 81 of The Good Old Boy Podcast, Fernando Chavira sits down for a raw conversation about what happens when the life that looks good on paper no longer feels right. Fernando shares his journey from chasing money, cars, relationships, partying, and the traditional definition of success to realizing that the real work had to happen internally. After recognizing destructive patterns in his relationships and his relationship with alcohol, he made the decision to take responsibility for his life, quit drinking, change careers, lean into his faith, and start becoming the man he actually wanted to be. The conversation gets into accountability, fear, faith, vulnerability, career changes, relationships, emotional awareness, and the importance of having people around you who are willing to speak into your life. One of the biggest themes is that perfection isn't the goal — consistency is. Sometimes the best thing you can do when you're overwhelmed is recognize what's happening, take one step, and call someone you trust. Fernando also challenges the idea that we should regret learning life's lessons "too late." Maybe some lessons can only be learned in certain seasons. The difficult chapters aren't interruptions to the story — they're part of what makes the story worth telling.
