Aaron Loveless, entrepreneur, designer and engineer behind Loveless Performance, joins Nathan and B.R. Aaron gets into how his Art and War RAADS High Score has lead him from High School entrepreneurship making class rings to learning under a Jeweler, becoming an engineer without a degree and working in advanced fields and 'rebuilding' early 20th century and classic bikes from patent drawings using CAD, 3D printing and other modern miracles. The lads also get into what it means to be an engineer and how to get into the field, how Aaron built a classic .44 revolver from a meteorite, working for yourself, buying old mining acreage for pennies on the dollar and much more!

Joining B.R and Nathan this week is Nick the Lefty (Left handed, chill), an Army vet from Tennessee who's now a dedicated family man, homesteader, and gunsmith. We talk about what 'living the good life really means', and some much needed 'white pills', finding a good partner, living freely and why the ‘afraid of women’ mentality has to go.

We also dive into the wild history of the Battle of Blair Mountain, West Virginia in the 1920s, where miners fought against coal companies and the U.S. military. Nick shares his journey into the world of gunsmithing and cerkoting post-military, including working for a major European gun manufacturer in the U.S. We also talk tips on embracing a fulfilling, more self-sufficient lifestyle.
