Professional American

So I have good news and I have some bad news. The good news is that a new episode is here! In the thirteenth installment of this podcast, I talk about:

• Our new growhouse and rocket mass heater
• The ATF's new rule on pistol stabilizing braces

The bad news? That would be that this is the final episode of this podcast. I am very grateful for all of you that have tuned in and shared this with others. I simply want to consolidate my time and resources to other things and rather than keeping you waiting for a new episode to drop, or forgetting all about it, I feel it is best to wrap this up.

Again, I thank you all for the support. You can see more episodes on Spotify and YouTube, as well as https://www.thebeardeddetailer.com/professionalamerican, and you can check out my other show at https://www.talesofhonorpodcast.com.

Good news, everyone! I am not dead, my microphone still works, and here is a new episode! I know it has been six months since I last dropped an episode so today I talk about:

• An abbreviated recap of my life over the last six months
• Two topics in the news
• How my faith has evolved recently
• Three podcasts you should be listening to (after this one, obviously)

• Injection Mandates
