  Purpose After the Mission: Navy SEAL Marty Strong on Leadership, Loss & Resilience

  Oct 2, 20261h 42m

  Tonight I sit down with Marty Strong—retired Navy SEAL, CEO, investor, board member, novelist and leadership author—for a conversation that goes far beyond credentials. We’ll talk about the winding path that takes him from a difficult childhood in Nebraska and Japan into the SEAL Teams, how a couple of seemingly small moments change the course of his life, and what it is like to spend twenty years inside one of the world's most demanding military communities. Marty shares hard-earned insight on merit, identity, purpose and the challenge of rebuilding yourself after leaving a mission-driven life behind. We’ll also get into the deeply personal side of his story: losing his oldest son, surviving cancer twice and learning how resilience is formed in real life—not in slogans. It's an honest, wide-ranging discussion about service, suffering, reinvention and what it really means to lead when life gets hard.

  The Preparedness Calendar: Hunting, Fishing, Farming & Living Well | Wednesdays with Wayne

  Sep 30, 20261h 4m

  On this week’s Wednesdays with Wayne, Wayne and I covered what practical preparedness looks like when it’s lived out as a full calendar year—not just talked about in theory. Wayne walked me through his seasonal rhythm of steelhead, salmon, halibut, elk, deer, crabbing, gardening, beekeeping, canning, smoking fish and building out the farm one project at a time. We also got into the real economics behind that lifestyle: how much food can be harvested, preserved, traded or gifted, and why skills, self-reliance and community still matter. From salmon in the smoker to honey in the kitchen to elk in the freezer, it's about making the most of what you have and what you can produce. We also talked about my own 1/16-acre farm progress—basil, peppers, tomatoes, garlic, seedlings and future fig trees—and Wayne shared practical advice on protecting young plants from heavy rain, collecting water and planning for bigger systems like greenhouse ventilation and food storage. Along the way, we reflected on gratitude, bartering, generosity, hard seasons and the kind of life built through useful knowledge, good friends and steady effort. This one was equal parts preparedness, homesteading, hunting, encouragement and, as always, plenty of laughter.

  What Is Homeopathy, Really? | Abby Beale

  Sep 29, 202659 min

  What exactly is homeopathy, how is it supposed to work, and why do people continue using it despite skepticism from conventional medicine? Certified classical homeopath and Homeopathy Primer lead author Abby Beale joins Joe to explain how an experience with her son's recurring ear infections led her into homeopathy, what those familiar little pellets actually contain, how remedies are selected, what training and certification look like, and where she believes homeopathy belongs alongside conventional medical care. Joe and Abby also discuss Arnica, self-care, the limits of treating yourself, when it's time to see a medical professional, and the criticism homeopathy receives from mainstream medicine.  Whether you're convinced, skeptical, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers a chance to hear the case for homeopathy directly—and consider the evidence and questions for yourself.

  When God Meets You in the Fire | Daniel 3 Bible Study

  Sep 27, 202646 min

   In Daniel chapter 3, Nebuchadnezzar commands the people of Babylon to bow before his golden image—but Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse, even when obedience to God means facing the fiery furnace. In Part 6 of our study through Daniel, we examine the idolatry and prophetic imagery surrounding Nebuchadnezzar's decree, the courage of three men who would not bow, and the appearance of the fourth man in the fire. But this chapter also teaches a powerful lesson for the Christian life: God does not promise to keep us from every fire, but He does promise that we will not face those fires alone. Sometimes the very thing meant to destroy us burns away the bonds that were holding us. We also consider the often-asked question of where Daniel was during these events, why every believer has weaknesses, and why the answer to past failure isn't remaining a spectator—it's getting back in the game.

  From Outsider to Fantasy Author: J.M. Shaw on Autism, Creativity & Belonging

  Sep 25, 202652 min

  Fantasy author J.M. Shaw joins Joe for a candid and often hilarious conversation about creativity, neurodivergence, storytelling and finding where you belong. Shaw shares how being diagnosed with autism and ADHD in 2019 helped her reframe traits she once struggled with as creative strengths, why writing became a way to understand both herself and other people, and how decades of private storytelling eventually became published work. They explore what separates writers from people who only talk about writing, why believable characters need flaws, the role of family and nature in her creative process, building fantasy worlds around real human emotions, the importance of accepting imperfection, why “write what you know” may be terrible advice, and why aspiring writers sometimes simply have to risk hearing that their work sucks. Along the way, Joe and J.M. detour through bell bottoms, man buns, Canadian cowboys, Johnny Cash, cheesy old movies and the dangers of writing a chapter your husband can't put down. It's a funny, thoughtful conversation about writing your own script, finding your people and creating something before fear convinces you not to try. Guest: J.M. Shaw J.M.
