    A Discussion on "Man's Search for Meaning"

    In this episode we discuss our thoughts and takeaways on Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning". After reading this book both Garrett and I would say that it is in the top 10 books that everyone should read at some point. We discuss the Viktor's observations as a survivor of a concentration camp in one of the darkest periods of human history and how profound the impact of your attitude and approach to the circumstances of your life seem to have an incredible amount of impact on the path that your life will take. Join us as we dive into the depths of this rich conversation in an attempt to expand our knowledge and understanding. As always any feedback is appreciated.

    Differences in Opinion w/ Clayton Bradshaw

    Today we sit down with our friend, Clayton Bradshaw, to discuss our views on a range of topics such as values, relationships, drugs and more. We discuss our own thoughts on these topics and how we disagree with some of our positions as there is a wide range of positions that people take with any of these ideas. This is ultimately a pure, unadulterated conversation amongst friends that helped each of us test our thoughts against each other's different views. We hope that you enjoy and see if you can find the duck in the episode ;)

    Dirty Civilians w/ Dustin Scott

    In this episode we shake things up a bit and invite one of my best friends, Dustin Scott, on the podcast to discuss the ideas around the term "Dirty Civilian" and what it means exactly. We discuss the importance of community building and how we as individuals can play our individual role to bring our particular skills and abilities into play for the improvement of those around us. We all know that the less government involvement in our personal lives, the better. To obtain that though we have to build stable communities that can sustain themselves and be reliable without having to survive off the government and therefore can serve as a check to the instances in which it overreaches. Thanks for listening! This has been an incredibly fun and rewarding endeavor and we are thrilled to bring you along with us! Some more exciting updates will be coming soon so keep your eyes open!
