    Tylor Stubbs - A Present Father, Building A Tribe, Teaching Hard Work - Episode #53

    I sit down with Tylor Stubbs for a conversation about what it actually means to show up as a father and a man. We talk about the impact of growing up without a present dad, how that shaped Tylor’s view of fatherhood, and why being intentional now matters more than ever. We dive into building a “tribe” around your family, teaching kids the value of hard work through action, and breaking cycles. This is a conversation about responsibility, presence, and choosing to be the man your kids can count on.

    Hunter Rasmussen - Amputee Life, Putting God First, Faith & Perseverance - Episode #52

    In this episode, I sit down with Hunter and chat about the life-changing moment that altered his path forever. A hunting accident where he was accidentally shot in the leg, eventually leading to the loss of that leg. Hunter opens up about the fear, pain, and uncertainty he faced in the days and months that followed, and what it truly means to rebuild when life doesn’t hand you an easy road. We also dig deep into the role faith played in his recovery and identity. Hunter shares how putting God first became the anchor he desperately needed when there wasn’t a clear light at the end of the tunnel, and how leaning on Him transformed the way he viewed struggle, purpose, and perseverance.
