You know as well as I do all the cultural dangers ourselves, families, and communities are presented with. And, as much as we’d like to pin it on some politician or outside factor beyond our control, the bigger issue is that the greatest threat is ourselves and our unwillingness to face the challenges that we see. My guest today is Kirk Cameron. He is an actor and is most well-known for his character, Mike Seaver on the 80’s hit sitcom, Growing Pains. Today, Kirk and I talk about what he dubs the “moral meat grinder,” why direction is more important that perfection, the power of divine intervention and guidance, the deconstruction of society, and how to become a man of faith and character.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Being an anomaly in Hollywood
• Finding God and taking a different path
• We have good reason to have great faith in God
• Selecting the right projects
• Moving from defense to offense in culture
• One person partnered with God can change history
• Embracing the unknown risk
• We need to be conduits that bring heaven to earth
• We are listening to messages from people who shouldn’t matter to us
• Leaning into your purpose

We’ve all begun to see the writing on the wall as it pertains to the loss in American manufacturing and the damage to the American supply chain. Continually, we have experienced losing jobs, harder to find items from toilet paper and baby formula to increasing concerns over Taiwan’s domination over the semiconductor market, and increasing costs for everyday goods and services.

My guest today is a man who is doing something about it. His name is Pete Roberts and he is the founder of OriginUSA which has dedicated itself to making all of their goods and products in America by Americans. Today, we talk about ever-changing market dynamics and how to stay ahead of the curve, why it’s crucial we honor our past manufacturing heritage, building what Pete calls, a “blockchain of manufacturing,” the power of the “blue collar mindset,” and fully unlocking American Potential.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Understanding market dynamics
• People are realizing that they need to harden up
• Dealing with overwhelm and distraction
• Building up block chain manufacturing
• We need to be prepared for China
• We have to be savage about bringing back manufacturing and knowledge
• Predicting the non-tangibles in the market

I think whether you’re willing to acknowledge it or not, we are most definitely facing a crisis of our young men. From incarceration and suicide rates, to substance abuse issues, to failing and lagging societal metrics, it’s safe (and, extremely tragic) to say that our boys are fighting an uphill battle. My guest today is Dr. Warren Farrell, the author of The Boy Crisis and many other books written to explore society from the lens of both women and men. Today, we talk about the dangers of lacking structure and purpose, how the “dad-style” vs. the “mom-style” of parenting actually creates awareness and empathy, how dopamine secretion and other physiological responses assist boys and men in doing the right thing, and the dangers and destructive results of “dad-deprivation.”

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Having the skillsets to be able to confront and to be compassionate
• Discussing the best way to measure success
• Teaching children to be empathetic
• Why social skills are so important for boys
• Fathers are critical in teaching postponed gratification
• How boys benefit from a mother’s involvement
• Is it possible to “have it all” in career and parenting success
• How single moms can get male involvement
