For our 50th Spear Talk, we couldn't have had a better episode for you than having both the legendary, "Barefoot Sensei", Mick Dodge, and multi-platinum selling rock drummer, Barry Kerch, from the band Shinedown, join us! We had a blast talking about the earth, being outside, and the need to thrive!

Some of the topics we discussed were the concept behind "bare-footing", the difference between surviving and thriving, our love of spending time outdoors, and the concept of the "earth-gym" and why its imperative to stay fit! Lots of laughs and incredible stories from both of their lives!

For Spear Talk 49, we had the honor to speak with Forrest Lang, a veteran, tattooist, author, orphan, and victim of abuse! While some of this talk is sometimes tough to hear, it is a necessary discussion for everyone to listen. While Forrest's life has had its hardships and heartache, hearing Forrest talk about surviving the abuse in his life was incredibly motivating for me. This was an emotional talk that will benefit us all!

During this talk, we covered his upbringing with an abusive step-father, being molested by his foster mother, being homeless, his addiction, the death of his friend, military service, tattooing, and his never-ending quest to get his book, Angel Blue published!
