Hard Men Podcast

In 1934, Upton Sinclair ran for governor of California. During the campaign, he wrote a book, in the past tense, talking about all he accomplished as governor. The problem? He got crushed in the election bid. His talk and hype outpaced the work he needed to do to actually win the race. Like Sinclair, many of us can get ahead of ourselves with talk—about what we have or hope to accomplish. In the process, our hype game outpaces our actual accomplishments. In this episode, we'll talk about practical ways to make war with ego, or pride, which starts with the words we use. Who do we blame when things go wrong? Who do we give credit to when things go right? How does seeing ourselves as a student help us tame the beast of overgrown pride? We'll discuss this and more in the episode.   Visit ForgedBeardCo.com today and use code HARDMEN for 15% off your first purchase!Book your free consultation with Boniface Business Solutions at bonifacebusiness.comVisit White Tree Solutions at wtsdata.com or send them an email at [email protected] to Joe Garrisi about managing your wealth with Backwards Planning Financial.Alpine Gold Exchange Website: alpinegoldogden.comSet Up a Meeting: https://calendly.com/alpinegold/alpine-gold-consultation10 Ways to Make Money with Your MAXX-D Trailer.Buy your beef or pork box today from Salt and Strings Butchery.

The Single Woke Female (SWF) is becoming one of the larger voting blocs in America. Likewise, women are remaining unmarried and childless at drastically increasing rates. This has ramifications not only for households, but the health of the American nation. As it turns out, women who remain unmarried, just like those who go to college, vote liberal at drastically higher rates. We'll talk about why that is. In this episode, we'll talk about why this is a problem, how it affects the political landscape and economy, and what we as Christians need to do to address the problem. Hint: It isn't to keep talking about the "gift of singleness," but instead to promote a pro-nativist, pro-natal ethos. We'll talk about what we as Christians, fathers, and churches can do to reverse this trend.The Rise of the Single Woke (and Young, Democratic) Female, by Joel Kotkin & Samuel J.

In this episode, we talk with Jason Storms, National Director of Operation Save America, a masculine endeavor to save America's unborn children from murder in the womb. Jason talks about how to actually make real change in society and politics, including grassroots efforts, and how Christians can see change on the issue of abortion. The way you have political power is to unseat existing political party leadership, and to be a real political threat to them. Unfortunately, many Christian default to pietistic notions that don't amount to any action. Jason also talks about the global cabal of elites, Hollywood, Media, pornography, Pharmaceutical companies, and other entities that are against Christ, and how we have to oppose the wicked men in these enterprises. Most of this comes from sexual ethics, family, and a lack of strong, masculine men.   Finally, we talk about strong Christian culture to oppose the godlessness of our age, including strong, productive Christian households.  Visit ForgedBeardCo.com today and use code HARDMEN for 15% off your first purchase!Visit KeepwisePartners.com or call Derrick Taylor at 781-680-8000 to schedule a free consultation.

Men today are told that the masculine virtues of bravery and courage, the readiness to fight, and the desire to win glory for their people and their nations are standards of a time gone past. We are told to rejoice over the death of masculinity, but there is a reason stories like that of Chesty Puller still light fires in the hearts of good men. In today’s episode of the Hard Men Podcast we’ll reminisce on the bravery and leadership of a great man in the face of impossible odds, and discuss the evergreen need of masculine virtue.Visit ForgedBeardCo.com today and use code HARDMEN for 15% off your first purchase!Book your free consultation with Boniface Business Solutions at bonifacebusiness.comVisit White Tree Solutions at wtsdata.com or send them an email at [email protected] to Joe Garrisi about managing your wealth with Backwards Planning Financial.Alpine Gold Exchange Website: alpinegoldogden.comSet Up a Meeting: https://calendly.com/alpinegold/alpine-gold-consultation10 Ways to Make Money with Your MAXX-D Trailer.Buy your beef or pork box today from Salt and Strings Butchery.

Is the modern American diet a recipe for disaster? This episode unpacks the alarming rise in obesity rates over the past fifty years, spotlighting how the shift from active jobs to sedentary lifestyles and the explosion of ultra-processed foods have led to a public health crisis. Hear from thought leaders like Paul Saladino, RFK Jr., John Moody, and Joel Salatin as they champion a return to ancestral dietary practices, advocating for whole, nutrient-dense foods over today's processed alternatives. We'll also critique modern dietary guidelines and discuss the wisdom of figures like Vince Gironda, emphasizing the need to reclaim health through simple, whole-food-based nutrition.Physical health and discipline are often neglected in Christian communities, and we examine why this is a critical oversight. By referencing scripture, we argue that maintaining one's physical well-being is essential for a productive and faithful life, especially for those in demanding pastoral roles. The conversation dives into the engineered addictiveness of modern processed foods, making a case for mindful eating and proper nutrition. Learn how unhealthy eating habits can sap energy and focus, and discover practical tips on transitioning to healthier food choices for long-term physical and spiritual health.The homesteading and permaculture movements are experiencing a revival, and we explore their potential to improve food security and protect against totalitarianism. Inspired by the book "Sacred Cow" and experts like Raw Egg Nationalist, we uncover the manipulation of food production and its impact on consumer health. We provide practical strategies for adopting a whole foods lifestyle, from meal planning tips to understanding the nutritional value of simple, high-quality foods. This episode is a call to action, encouraging listeners to embrace traditional diets, self-sufficient practices, and a commitment to long-term health for the betterment of their lives and communities.We're thrilled to announce the launch of the Hard Men Podcast Fantasy Football League!

Football isn't just a game; it's a cultural phenomenon and a formative experience for young men. Joining us is Andrew Isker, as we tackle the heated debates surrounding football's significance. We dive deep into the role of sports in shaping masculinity, discussing how tackle football instills resilience, confidence, and strength in young boys. However, we also caution against the dangers of youth sports becoming an idol, where parents' excessive investment can sometimes overshadow more important aspects of life. Reminiscing about the golden era of Cornhusker football, we advocate for the revival of the fullback position and explore how economic and rule changes have reshaped modern football. Our conversation doesn't stop at the field; we examine the intersection of politics and sports, including unusual endorsements and the impact of social movements on the game. We also provide an in-depth analysis of rookie quarterbacks and draft prospects, evaluating their potential as they transition to the NFL. From assessing Caleb Williams' career trajectory to predicting Bo Nix's breakout season, we cover it all.

As the U.S. military has pushed the leftist agenda, it has inevitably emasculated and weakened itself. While the Air Force, for example, used to be a place for hard men like Robin Olds, one of the most decorated fighter pilots of all time, now it's just another bastion of DEI stupidity and Covid nonsense. In turn, like other branches, it has driven away the real men and American patriots who once made it great.In this episode we'll talk with Ethan Senn, Chief of Staff at New Christendom Press, about his ten years in the Air Force as an A-10 pilot. Eventually Ethan was kicked out of the military for refusing to wear a mask during The Great Shamdemic.We also talk Top Gun 2, real life Mavericks, and the need for fathers to teach their sons the martial virtues, something the military doesn't really do anymore.Get 10% off your next Reformation Heritage Books order with discount code "HARDMEN."Buy your plate armor from Premier Body Armor today.Join the Patreon exclusive membership.10 Ways to Make Money with Your MAXX-D Trailer.Alpine Gold Exchange Website: alpinegoldogden.comSet Up a Meeting: https://calendly.com/alpinegold/alpine-gold-consultationTalk to Joe Garrisi about managing your wealth with Backwards Planning Financial.Buy your beef or pork box today from Salt and Strings Butchery.
