The Purpose Podcast

In the second installment of our Path of Purpose series, we take a step back from the future goals and evaluate our current situations. We establish two destinations, one that reflects our big dreams and answers to the "where do you want to be" question we asked last week. Then we have a destination that reflects our current habits, the path we are already walking down. After acknowledging and defining those two destinations, we map out a path to the 5 year goal, hacking our way through brush and cutting our way up the mountain to those goals up high. Lastly we talk about the Default Aggressive mindset and how it aids us on our new path.

Solo episode about dating your wife and using common goals to lead your marriage.

This episode kicks off our Path of Purpose series where I will give my thoughts and recommendations for creating a vision of your future and choosing a career and purpose that gets you there. We will discuss broad topics like 40 year goals as well as more tactical advice like how to start a business and which business to start, all through the lens of purpose. This week the focus is thinking big and in the future. I outline where I see myself at 5, 10, 20, and 40 years from now by addressing my priorities and pushing the limits of what is possible at each of those checkpoints. I hope you enjoy this series but most of all I hope it helps you find your path or, at the very least, take the next step.

I have talked a lot about taking ownership. I have talked a little bit about giving ownership. Today, I wanted to talk about what to do once you have given ownership. I have a really bad habit of giving ownership and saying "I don't care" afterwards. Giving your wife ownership of a task or process is important and necessary, but that doesn't mean you are done. Give her ownership, trust her leadership, and BUY IN...

I have been continuously disappointed and haunted after failing a hike a year or two ago with my coach Nick Shelton. This weekend despite sketchy weather and a continued lack of confidence in my knees, my friend Jacob and I got it done. I tell this story to wrap up our series on fitness and to encourage you all to continually set and crush milestones that correlate with your health and fitness priorities. I also do a little introduction for the next series about developing one's purpose in business and how to choose a path for a fulfilling career.

Short solo episode about the necessity of treating Valentine's day with importance and making your woman feel special. I also give a little insight to my thought process and mentality as the baby train keeps chugging along.

The final episode in our little series about weight loss and physical fitness. This episode focuses on getting moving and the physical aspect of my weight loss formula "Do More. Eat Less".

Quick baby update with some great news and some thoughts about not only taking ownership of household duties, but giving up ownership and control.

Solo episode about food tracking and all the details I've learned over the past 3 years.

The most obvious and evident truths, in a society that rejects truth, become the most difficult truths to speak. We as a people are made to believe that the truths are actually lies, and that you should be ashamed to even think them. Like the kid with a girlfriend that "goes to another school" or the homeless guy committing stolen valor. They want truth speakers to be embarrassed, or even fearful to make a sound. If your "lie" cuts too far into the narrative, you shall be assured, it could be the end of your credibility, job, friendships, and place in society. In my experience, once you say the "unsayable", you do feel awfully embarrassed. You feel embarrassed at being afraid to say something so obvious, so irrefutable. You do feel ashamed, ashamed that it took you so long to say it, or post it on the internet for all to see.

Well, friends, in this episode I believe I am speaking one of those truths. It isn't my discovery, and I am far from the first to say it. I am sure it has been said in Churches, homes, and conservative talk shows countless times this week. Nevertheless, I feel the need to ponder it and express it for those of you that still are not convinced, or still consider it a lie.

I am talking about women's place in society... the reason women exist … their Purpose.

I still approach the topic from a man's perspective and I highlight the responsibility that men have to uphold this truth. It is with great emphasis and passion that I call men to the mat, imploring them to support and reinforce their wives' proper state of being... Pregnant, Barefoot, & In The Kitchen.
