In this episode of Brotherhood Beyond Business, host Trev Warnke sits down with Grant Quezada, founder of Founding Fathers Collective, to talk about entrepreneurship, leadership, family, community, and what it really takes to build something that lasts.

Grant shares his journey from eight years in military special operations and multiple deployments to entrepreneurship, starting with a one-chair barbershop and eventually building Founding Fathers Collective into a unique third-space community in Prescott, Arizona.

The conversation goes beyond the business itself. Grant and Trev discuss the realities of scaling a capital-intensive business, building a team around clear values, giving employees autonomy, learning from failure, raising a family around entrepreneurship, and surrounding yourself with men who understand the pressure and responsibility of building a business.

At the center of the conversation is a simple idea: you can't build anything meaningful without people. The right culture, leadership, relationships, and willingness to invest in others can become the foundation for both business growth and personal legacy.

In this episode, we discuss:

⮞ Grant's transition from military service into entrepreneurship
⮞ Why he started in the barber industry
⮞ The vision behind Founding Fathers Collective and the idea of a true third space
⮞ What it really takes financially and operationally to scale a business
⮞ Why entrepreneurs need vision and clarity before they try to grow
⮞ Building a team around mission, vision, and values
⮞ Why empowering employees to problem-solve creates stronger leaders
⮞ How autonomy and accountability can change company culture
⮞ Why business owners should invest in people even when they may eventually leave
⮞ The role of entrepreneurship in Grant's family and fatherhood
⮞ Emotional intelligence, relational intelligence, and personal growth
⮞ Why hard work and consistent skill-building compound over time
⮞ The realities of risk, chaos, failure, and betting on yourself
⮞ Why entrepreneurs need both peer relationships and experienced mentors
⮞ How Founding Fathers Collective is preparing for future expansion
⮞ Why business owners need spaces where they can genuinely build relationships and do business together

The Brotherhood Beyond Business Podcast  is where driven male entrepreneurs gather for real conversations about business, leadership, faith, health, and accountability. Hosts Trev Warnke, Joe Rouse, Nathan Johnson, Danny Mullen and meet with local area guests share hard-earned lessons, challenges, and strategies for building profitable businesses without sacrificing the life that matters most. 

In this episode of Brotherhood Beyond Business, host Trev Warnke sits down with Cory Borman to unpack how his own ADHD diagnosis turned into the foundation for a business built on accountability, systems, and catching students before they fall through the cracks. This conversation goes beyond tutoring and dives into executive function, mission-driven entrepreneurship, and why the right system can change how a person, or a company, operates.

Too many entrepreneurs run on scattered focus and reactive fixes instead of real systems. Cory shares how a Kanban board helped him manage his own ADHD, how that same framework helped scale a prior company to $65-70M in ARR before it sold, and how he's now applying it to fix a real gap in how schools support struggling students.

In this episode, we discuss:

⮞ How ADHD and executive function struggles shaped Cory's approach to building a company 
⮞ Why Kanban and Trello became the operating system behind a business that scaled to $65-70M in ARR 
⮞ Why schools often catch struggling students too late, and what earlier intervention looks like 
⮞ The blame game between parents, teachers, and students, and why it misses the real issue 
⮞ How Swoon Learning built two verticals: one-on-one academic coaching and school accountability software
 ⮞ Why "eating your own dog food" matters when you're building a product you want people to trust

Hosts Trev Warnke, Joe Rouse, Nathan Johnson, Danny Mullen and meet with local area guests share hard-earned lessons, challenges, and strategies for building profitable businesses without sacrificing the life that matters most. 

In this episode of Brotherhood Beyond Business, host Trev Warnke sits down with Andrew Pollock, founder of Outside The Box Training in Prescott, Arizona, to talk about what actually builds strength, why "beating yourself up" in the gym is the wrong goal, and how the same principles that drive good coaching apply to sobriety, business, and life.

Andrew shares how fitness became his path out of a difficult stretch in his twenties, how he built a training philosophy around incremental change instead of dramatic overhauls, and why the clients who show up quietly and consistently usually outlast the ones who come in "all in" on day one. The conversation also covers training to true failure, why AI still can't replace an experienced coach's judgment, and how hormone health and nutrition tie into long-term performance for entrepreneurs pushing hard in their businesses.

In this episode, we discuss:

⮞ Why incremental habit change beats quitting cold turkey
⮞ The difference between working out to feel beaten up versus properly stimulated 
⮞ How to actually train to failure, and why most people stop short of it 
⮞ Why a good coach sees blind spots you can't see in yourself
⮞ The current limits of AI for building personalized training programs 
⮞ How hormone health, stress, and nutrition feed into each other in a feedback loop

Hosts Trev Warnke, Joe Rouse, Nathan Johnson, Danny Mullen and meet with local area guests share hard-earned lessons, challenges, and strategies for building profitable businesses without sacrificing the life that matters most. 

In this episode of Brotherhood Beyond Business, hosts Trev Warnke and Joe Rouse unpack why vacations are not a distraction from business, but a strategy for family, clarity, marriage, and long-term harmony. This conversation challenges entrepreneurs to stop treating time away as lost productivity and start seeing it as an intentional investment in the people they are building for.

Too many business owners say family matters most, but never plan their year in a way that proves it. Trev and Joe talk honestly about the tension between business goals, wealth building, family memories, time away, and the guilt entrepreneurs often feel when they step away from the business.

In this episode, we discuss:

⮞ Why vacation is really buying intentional time with your family
⮞ How entrepreneurs can plan vacations into their annual calendar
⮞ Why time away creates business clarity and better strategic thinking
⮞ The tension between saving money, investing, and creating family memories
⮞ Why vacation does not have to mean an expensive week-long trip
⮞ How shorter getaways, clarity breaks, and local trips can still refill the tank
⮞ Why kids create a real time clock for entrepreneurs and fathers
⮞ How intentional time away helps create harmony between business and home

In this episode of Brotherhood Beyond Business, host Nathan Johnson sits down with Luis Cano and Melrose Carrion, co-owners of Wolves Barber Lounge in Grayslake, IL, to unpack what it takes to build a barbershop that is about more than haircuts. This conversation dives into culture, customer experience, business partnership, leadership, and the real pressure of building something from the ground up.

Too many entrepreneurs talk about culture, but few actually create an environment where clients, team members, and the community can feel it the moment they walk through the door. Luis and Melrose share how Wolves Barber Lounge was built around standards, personality, craftsmanship, and a pack mentality that has helped them become a respected name across Lake County.

In this episode, we discuss:

⮞ How Luis Cano and Melrose Carrion became business partners
⮞ Why Wolves Barber Lounge was built around culture, not just haircuts
⮞ How customer experience creates loyalty beyond the service itself
⮞ Why hiring for personality and character matters as much as skill
⮞ What people misunderstand about barbering as a real trade and career
⮞ How Luis and Melrose balance business ownership, family, and growth
⮞ Why business partnerships require trust, communication, and shared standards
⮞ How they pushed through COVID, expansion, and the pressure of building a brand

In this episode of Brotherhood Beyond Business, host Trev Warnke sits down with Justin McKinney to discuss why so many people continue struggling with chronic pain despite seeing multiple healthcare providers. Justin shares how his approach to physical therapy goes far beyond treating symptoms, helping clients uncover hidden root causes through nervous system regulation, visceral manipulation, movement assessment, men's pelvic health, and whole-body healing.

Many entrepreneurs pride themselves on solving problems in their businesses while ignoring problems in their own bodies. The result is chronic pain, reduced performance, poor recovery, and a lower quality of life. Justin explains why lasting results require looking beyond where the pain shows up and understanding the deeper systems influencing how the body functions.

In this episode, we discuss:

⮞ Why traditional pain treatment often misses the true root cause

⮞ The connection between the nervous system and chronic pain

⮞ How visceral manipulation can influence movement and recovery

⮞ Why many active adults and athletes stay stuck in recurring pain cycles

⮞ Men's pelvic health and the issues most men never talk about

⮞ How entrepreneurs can take greater ownership of their long-term health

⮞ Why prevention is often more valuable than treatment

⮞ The role faith, service, and purpose play in Justin's life and business

In this episode of Brotherhood Beyond Business, host Nathan Johnson sits down with Arabinda Subudhi, owner of Gameday Men’s Health in Libertyville, IL, to talk about men’s health, testosterone therapy, hormone optimization, depression, sleep, and what it really means to help men feel like themselves again.

Too many men are walking around tired, low-energy, unmotivated, depressed, or disconnected from their family and work without realizing there may be deeper health issues underneath. Arabinda shares his own story of struggling with depression, low testosterone, and being dismissed by traditional healthcare before finding hormone optimization and eventually opening Gameday Men’s Health to help other men get answers.

In this episode, we discuss:

⮞ Arabinda’s personal journey through depression, low energy, and hormone optimization
 ⮞ Why low testosterone and poor sleep are affecting more men than people realize

In this episode of Brotherhood Beyond Business, host Trev Warnke sits down with Elijah Snyder to talk about local politics, smart growth, community leadership, and why business owners need to pay attention to what is happening in their own backyard. This conversation is not about national political noise. It is about local responsibility, relationships, development, housing, infrastructure, and building a community that can support the next generation.

Too many entrepreneurs are busy building their companies while ignoring the decisions being made around them that directly affect their families, teams, employees, customers, and long-term future. Elijah shares why local politics can be one of the most practical places to make a real impact, especially in a growing area like Prescott Valley.

In this episode, we discuss:

⮞ Why local politics matters more than most business owners realize
 ⮞ How national political noise can distract people from real local impact
 ⮞ Why Prescott Valley’s growth needs smart planning, not reactionary resistance
 ⮞ How housing, jobs, infrastructure, and amenities affect young families and business owners
 ⮞ Why small communities need leaders who can listen, collaborate, and build trust
 ⮞ How social media has made local politics more divisive than it needs to be
 ⮞ Why business owners should care about community development and local leadership
 ⮞ How faith, reconciliation, and personal responsibility should shape political conversations

In this episode of Brotherhood Beyond Business, host Trev Warnke sits down with Phil Schafer to unpack what true health optimization looks like and why more entrepreneurs need to stop settling for low energy, poor sleep, hormone imbalance, and reactive healthcare. This conversation goes beyond testosterone and dives into ownership, research, longevity, and building a body that supports the life you want to live.

Too many entrepreneurs spend years optimizing their businesses while neglecting the one asset that drives everything else — their health. Phil shares practical insight into hormone optimization, women’s and men’s health, longevity medicine, and why blindly following trends or “snake oil” solutions can do more harm than good.

In this episode, we discuss:

⮞ Why hormone optimization is about vitality and quality of life
 ⮞ The difference between reactive medicine and proactive health ownership
 ⮞ How Phil approaches men’s and women’s hormone care differently
 ⮞ Why investing in health has one of the highest returns possible
 ⮞ The importance of testing, education, and evidence-based medicine

In this episode of Brotherhood Beyond Business, host Trev Warnke
sits down with Michael Kaplan to unpack how Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu shapes confidence, discipline, resilience, and leadership far beyond the mats. For entrepreneurs and fathers, pressure isn’t something to avoid — it’s something that builds capacity, composure, and character.

Too many men today avoid challenge, discomfort, and difficult environments. Michael shares how Jiu-Jitsu creates a place where people learn humility, accountability, confidence, and how to stay calm under pressure. This conversation is about becoming harder to break mentally while building stronger communities and stronger men.

In this episode, we discuss:

⮞ Why confidence is built through pressure and discomfort
 ⮞ The role martial arts plays in leadership and discipline
 ⮞ Building stronger men through challenge and accountability
 ⮞ Why entrepreneurs need physical outlets outside of business
