    37. What's Your Rice?

    Episode 37 — What's Your Rice? In Jiro Dreams of Sushi, apprentices spend years learning one thing: how to cook rice. This episode is about finding your rice — the one skill worth doing exceptionally well, every day, for years — and why that matters more than chasing the next shiny thing. Danny and Josh get into what consistency actually looks like at work, at home, and at play, what they've learned from parents and grandparents about playing the long game, and why the people who work the land tend to see the world differently than the rest of us staring at screens. In this episode: Why "what got you here won't get you there" — and how to pick the one skill to double down onJosh on consistency and presence; Danny on playing long-term games with long-term peopleA grandfather's lesson on marriage: "if something's important to her, it immediately becomes important to me"Training (and nerves) ahead of the Ouray 100, one of the hardest 100-milers in the USLearn more at unrationed.com and find us on LinkedIn.

    36. Threshold Guardians

    Evan, Joshua, and newest team member Danny Kirk reflect on a recent rim-to-rim-to-rim traverse of the Grand Canyon — and the conversations that came out of it. They dig into why we seek out hard, uncomfortable experiences, what happens to a person when there's no easy way out, and how shared suffering has a way of cutting through everything that usually divides us. Danny shares his unconventional path — trumpet prodigy, high school dropout, decade-long agency founder — and what brought him to Unrationed. The group also wrestles with a question worth sitting with: if you're building something meant to outlast you, what do you actually focus on? Stories, traditions, sacred spaces, community — and the courage to run toward the thing calling you instead of protecting what you already have.

    35. Beyond Ourselves

    In this episode Evan , Joshua, and Tony pick up where they left off — exploring the spiritual dimension of growth and what it means to acknowledge that something beyond us shapes our work, relationships, and lives. They share personal stories of faith, doubt, and discovery, from sobriety and psychedelics to raising kids and revisiting childhood traditions, and wrestle with questions of control, belief, and trust. The conversation moves through paradox: how to both orient toward what’s above and navigate what’s right in front of us. Drawing on influences like Joseph Campbell, Richard Rohr, and Alan Watts, the hosts reflect on systems, containers, and the importance of spiritual frameworks in raising grounded families and becoming whole men. A thoughtful dialogue on belief without certainty, tradition without rigidity, and finding your footing in the space between faith and freedom.

    34. Thresholds at Home

    In this episode of The Unrationed Podcast, Evan, Joshua, and Tony explore why crossing thresholds at home often feels harder than running a race or tackling a physical challenge. They unpack the complexity of growth in relationships, parenting, and personal habits — where progress isn’t marked by a finish line but by showing up, day after day. From preparing for life’s “unknown thresholds” to building training habits at home, the trio reflects on how we practice courage, patience, and endurance in the spaces that matter most. Themes: Complexity, preparation, known vs. unknown thresholds, and what it means to train for transformation at home.

    32. Comfort is Expensive

    In this episode of The Unrationed Podcast, hosts Evan, Joshua, and Tony explore the idea that comfort is expensive, not just financially, but spiritually, relationally, and generationally. They discuss how modern life makes it easy to avoid discomfort and how that avoidance quietly costs us growth, meaning, and strength. Drawing from King, Warrior, Magician, Lover and personal stories, the conversation moves through what it means to shift from boy psychology to man psychology: taking responsibility, blessing others, and choosing the harder path that leads to a fuller life. A thoughtful, grounded dialogue on the price of ease, and why discomfort might be the truest form of freedom.
