The Review Section
As a podcaster, one of the best perks isn’t just the conversations—it’s the discoveries. Over hundreds of episodes, I’ve had the chance to connect with app creators, authors, and innovators from all walks of life. Along the way I read a lot of books, some because I like to read, some for business, many as a podcaster talking to experts who are authors and some as a coach. I’ve also tested and reviewed products that have genuinely made a difference in my own life—everything from beard care essentials and gear for my family to tech tools that make life easier and of course products from our sponsors MyPillow.

Behind Closed Mics: Fallible & Unfiltered
The messy, honest truth of growing as a man and creator.
Ever wonder what it really takes to run multiple podcasts, be a coach, build a brand, and still show up as a husband and father? This is the messy reality underneath it all.. No scripts. No polish. The struggle, the stress, the doubts, and the grind to keep it all alive. Just me pulling back the curtain on the highs, the lows, and the chaos of building a mission, my company, all while raising a family and trying to make a living in the process. Think of this as the back room, the after-hours, the place where the polished show ends and the real story begins. The early mornings, the wins that keep me going, and the struggles most creators never talk about. Welcome to the inside look at my life as a men’s content creator and coach.
