This podcast comes to you from Texas, and an incredible hunting outfitter, CS Outfitters. Brian and John are both repeat guests, but this is the first time we have shared a hunting camp, and hunting experiences. Many people think that hunting is solely comprised of killing, and they could not be further from the truth. In 2.5 days we busted our ass, walked, crawled, laughed, drank, and learned. I think it has to be experienced to truly be understood. Brian Chontosh is a retired Marine Corps officer, endurance athlete, and aspiring bow hunter. You will get a glimpse into his character by reading his Navy Cross Citation. John Dudley is the creator and founder of Nock On Archery which in my opinion is the one stop shop for archery knowledge and equipment. John has mentored me into bowhunting for the past 18 months, and now it is Brian's turn to learn from the master.

Not only does everyone seem to be talking about "Toxic Masculinity," I seem to be receiving multiple emails about it every day. Full disclosure, I have not being paying much attention to the discussion, for the reasons I go in to detail during the episode. I'm not a fan of the term, or any term that is overused and under defined. If I had to pick one leadership style that is the most impactful, I would choose mentorship. It is how I was shepherded from being a young punk in the Teams to an individual capable of operating with little to no oversight in high risk, high consequence environments. I have been asked to create episodes on mentorship for young men and women, and the more thought I have put in to it, to the more convinced I am that they are not the target audience, the parents are. I close with my EDC and some food for thought when it comes to choosing to carry a concealed weapon.

Sean Evangelista is the founder and owner of 30 Seconds Out, a commando inspired apparel brand. In addition to running his apparel brand, he is a member of the Sun Valley Ski Patrol, and also happens to be a retired Navy SEAL with 20 years of service, including multiple combat deployments throughout the world. Sean and I served together, the night I was shot we were standing shoulder to shoulder. As often happens, careers diverge and you lose touch with those you were once close to. Although that night was nearly 15 years ago, this was the first conversation we have had discussing the events from each of our perspectives. We covered a good bit of ground in this conversation, from pre military to post, reflections on the highs and lows of a career, the impact of a kinetic career on family thoughts on limiting time in combat, and the importance of team and purpose.

John Dudley is a world class archer and coach. He is the founder of Nock on Archery, the one stop shop for information, equipment, and instruction for archers and bow hunters of all levels.

Ryan Michler is the founder/creator of Order of Man, a community and resource designed to help men improve every aspect of their lives from family, money, parenting, responsibility, etc. I hear the term "toxic masculinity" frequently, and if I am being completely honest, I stop paying attention shortly after I do. From my view in the cheap seats, it seems to be a blanket statement designed to shut down conversations, and it is extremely poorly defined. In this episode Ryan and I discuss why he chose to change the course of his life while working in the financial sector and devote his time and effort to creating Order of Man, and what he hopes it will become in the future.

Thanks to everyone who reached out with questions, sorry if I didn't get the chance to answer yours, there will always be another Q and A.
