Order of Man - Raising a King ｜ BRECKEN MICHLER

00:00:00.000 If you've been listening for any amount of time, you know what I think about modernity

00:00:03.640 and masculinity. In fact, I'm often asked about my thoughts regarding raising children

00:00:08.960 in times like these. And while I think my children's generation have some serious and

00:00:15.420 unique challenges, I am very hopeful for them and how they will rise up in the face of those

00:00:20.560 challenges. And today I'm joined by my oldest son, Brecken, to talk a bit about our relationship,

00:00:26.580 the challenges our youth face. And I also ask him questions specifically from our Facebook group

00:00:32.860 members about his own personal fitness journey that he's been on over the past six to eight

00:00:38.140 weeks, including motivation, accountability, and discipline. Now guys, this is a great episode for

00:00:42.940 any man who wants to tune in, but I would highly, highly suggest that you listen in. If you have

00:00:48.480 children, listen with your children and you want them to be more motivated and disciplined.

00:00:54.000 You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. Embrace your fears and boldly chart

00:00:58.980 your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time. Every time you are

00:01:04.660 not easily deterred, defeated, rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life. This is who you are.

00:01:12.040 This is who you will become at the end of the day. And after all is said and done, you can call

00:01:17.360 yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Michler and I am the host and the

00:01:22.840 founder of this podcast and the order of man movement. I have got one that's different for

00:01:28.040 you today. Uh, I'm joined by my son. He's 12. He has been on a very powerful fitness and health

00:01:36.440 transformation over the past six to eight weeks. And I had made a post in our Facebook group and

00:01:41.280 on the socials. And a lot of you guys had congratulations for him, but you had a lot of

00:01:46.480 questions as well, because you have your own children who you would like to see thrive and be

00:01:51.440 motivated and disciplined as my son has been. So, uh, hype, hyper, uh, focused and disciplined over

00:01:58.180 the past six to eight weeks. So I'm going to answer, or at least ask him some questions and let

00:02:03.040 him answer those. And as I said earlier, if you have children, uh, then I would highly suggest you

00:02:09.100 have them tune in and listen to this one before we get into the conversation. I do just very quickly

00:02:13.700 want to mention our show sponsors origin main. These guys make jujitsu geese and rash guards and

00:02:19.860 lifestyle apparel and denim and boots. And, uh, they've got knives that they started to make.

00:02:25.380 In fact, my son and I just used, uh, two of their knives as we cleaned his very first Turkey that he 1.00

00:02:31.240 shot just, uh, probably an hour or so before the recording of this podcast. So if you're interested

00:02:38.180 in denim boots, geese, rash guards, their supplemental lineup partnered up with Jocko, which is their

00:02:43.520 joint warfare and their discipline go and their pre-workout and their protein supplement,

00:02:48.820 then head to origin, main.com origin, main.com. And if you end up purchasing anything, use the code

00:02:55.160 order O R D E R at checkout for your discount. Again, origin, main.com use the code order.

00:03:01.920 All right, guys, without further ado, my son, again, 12 years old. Uh, he has been inspiring

00:03:07.800 lately and he's been a beast when it comes to losing weight to getting strong over the past six to eight

00:03:14.720 weeks. He's lost. Actually, I don't want to steal any of his thunder because he did talk about this

00:03:18.700 and he's very excited about it. So he has lost a lot of weight. He's gained a lot of strength,

00:03:22.360 uh, and he is on a terror as it comes to his fitness goals and ambitions. And I thought this would be

00:03:29.400 a powerful and unique opportunity for him to share and for you to gain some insight for your own path

00:03:35.780 as a father. Breckin, what's up, my man. Glad to have you back in studio. I mean, it's just our house,

00:03:41.260 but glad to have you here nonetheless. Thank you. Pretty exciting morning. Uh-huh. What happened this

00:03:46.280 morning? Got turkey down. Turkey down. That's right. How many hours do you think we put in

00:03:52.540 hunting so far? Turkeys, that is. Oh, many hours. They're sneaky little bugs. They are. But we got

00:04:00.960 one today, so that's good. Yeah. We were actually about to hit record on the podcast earlier, this

00:04:06.020 podcast, and we looked out my office window and saw turkeys. And so what did we do? We booked it out

00:04:12.040 there. We got out. We're walking around in the lower field and we think the turkey saw us and

00:04:17.960 they turned around and started walking up more. So we hopped in the tree stand and some of them came

00:04:23.200 down and, uh, the group called a few strays back. So they headed up and got scared off. And then we

00:04:31.280 were driving back and we're like, Oh, we know where we're going. They're going. Yeah. We took that back

00:04:35.780 road and, and, and sat right by where we thought they would be. And they came down exactly where we

00:04:41.680 thought they would be. How are you feeling as you, uh, right before you went to take that shot?

00:04:46.560 So shaky. I was like, they're going to see me and run off, but I think they did see me,

00:04:52.200 but I just got a shot on them before they, before they totally caught on to you right there. And then

00:04:57.360 I remember you shot and you like jumped up. You were so excited. I was like, shoot it again.

00:05:01.900 And I'm like, what? And then I'm like, but it was a good shot. You shot him right in the face

00:05:07.420 and, uh, blew out one of the, one of the bird's ribs. It looked like that thing was, was done for.

00:05:14.660 And then we took it down, we tagged it and did everything we needed to. And then we took it down.

00:05:17.980 I got it registered or I think registered. I think that's right. Yeah. Yeah. We registered it.

00:05:22.360 And then, uh, we brought it back and what did we do?

00:05:25.960 Cleaned it up, got some nice turkey breasts and some lakes, and we're going to cook them up on the

00:05:31.800 Traeger tonight. Is that what we're doing? Traeger? Pretty sure. Mom's doing Traeger for us,

00:05:36.100 huh? It's a good way to, uh, good way to start the day. I figured, you know, we were going to

00:05:40.500 podcast, but I figured, man, that'd be a great way to start off the podcast and let the guys know

00:05:44.100 that you've had some hunting success. That's the first animal that you've recovered. Correct?

00:05:50.440 Yep. I mean, you've been on hunts and we've hunted and you've hunted with your grandpa and

00:05:55.640 you shot a pig a couple of years ago in Texas. That was a dang good shot. I just think it was a

00:06:00.580 little high and we never could recover it, but, um, it's got to feel good. Yeah. Right on that.

00:06:07.020 It's good. Well, so I don't know if you know why I wanted to do this with you today, but, um,

00:06:12.360 I had made a post and I think you knew that I made a post about your, uh, weight loss journey and you

00:06:18.980 getting strong and fit and everything else that's been going on over the past eight weeks or so.

00:06:24.100 And, uh, a lot of the guys were very impressed and they want to get their kids, their sons or their

00:06:29.680 daughters on the same path. And they had some questions and rather than answering on a, on the

00:06:35.040 Facebook group post, I thought, you know, we would just do that here and we'd bring you back in the

00:06:39.040 studio and we would answer, or, or I would ask you some questions and then you can answer those

00:06:45.000 questions. And then the idea would be that the men who are listening would invite their sons and or

00:06:50.860 daughters to listen in. So hopefully they get some motivation because sometimes it's, it's different

00:06:58.440 when it comes from a peer rather than if it comes from me or it comes from their dad. So I thought,

00:07:03.580 okay, well, here's you at 12 years old. And if they're, you know, anywhere from, I would say nine

00:07:07.880 to 16 or somewhere in there that they would actually be pretty inspired by what you've been doing.

00:07:12.780 Yeah. Um, yeah, it's been fun that it's hard getting up and working out, but you say you work

00:07:21.160 out, but you got to work on that diet. Like I would work out and I just get back and eat, but

00:07:27.640 I wasn't losing any weight. So I'm like, I've been working out. I don't know what. And then you

00:07:32.500 guys just told me that I'm eating a lot. So I've been doing a diet and working out and it's worked

00:07:37.820 good. Yeah. So we're going to get into the specifics, into the nitty gritty, the details,

00:07:42.040 and, uh, you can inspire us with your level of motivation and discipline, which, and I, I hope

00:07:48.040 you know that I'm inspired by it. Thanks. Do you know that? Yeah. I moved. I've talked about,

00:07:53.060 hopefully. I mean, I try to, I try to talk to you about those things. Yeah, you have. So I've been

00:07:58.000 motivated, inspired by what you're doing. Cause usually it's you keeping me on track better than

00:08:02.580 me or mom are keeping you on track. You've been super disciplined. Thanks. Even the guys that came

00:08:07.600 out to our event, they knew how disciplined Chris, in fact, asked, he said, or he said that he had

00:08:14.300 offered you a cinnamon roll or something. Nope. And you were like, nope. And he, he said he was super

00:08:19.700 impressed with that. So anyways, good work, bud. Thanks. All right. Let's get into these

00:08:22.900 questions. So again, these are from our Facebook group and these are specifically for you. So I'm

00:08:28.100 going to fire away and, uh, let's get after it. Okay. All right. So Sean Saylor says, this is not

00:08:34.680 like so much fitness, health, diet related, but he does say, what are some things that you wish you,

00:08:40.380 you had been known or been taught? And we still have time cause you're still here. So what are some

00:08:45.500 things that you wish maybe beforehand or even moving forward as you get older and become a young

00:08:51.840 man? And you already are a young man, but even older, uh, what are some things that you would

00:08:55.440 like to, to, to know or to be taught? Uh, I think I could use a little more discipline. I I've snuck a

00:09:04.520 few snacks in. I need to be more disciplined. Yeah. That's surprising. I haven't seen it at the,

00:09:10.220 at the beginning, but I've been getting more disciplined and, um, there's always something

00:09:16.180 to learn. I don't know yet, but along the path I'll find out. I don't know yet.

00:09:20.820 What are some things that you're excited about? Obviously hunting has been a big thing for you.

00:09:24.760 You've really wanted to learn about hunting. Uh, not only is hunting good just because of what it is,

00:09:30.540 but talk about a great source of healthy food. You know, that, that Turkey, for example,

00:09:35.960 that you shot this morning, it was, it probably wasn't even more than an hour from the time that

00:09:41.580 you shot it to the time that we registered to the time that we broke it down, brought it in the

00:09:46.440 kitchen. Mom put it in some milk. Cause we've heard that with Turkey that takes away some of the 1.00

00:09:50.760 gaminess. I mean that not even an hour that that's going to be the healthiest source of protein 0.55

00:09:56.620 that you could possibly find. It's not processed beef jerky, which is more like a rubber stick.

00:10:02.460 Although we do eat some of those, um, it's, it's high quality stuff. So hunting has been big.

00:10:09.380 Uh, jujitsu has been something you've really been interested in and just, just strength,

00:10:14.120 like lifting in general. I like, I've been doing a lot of CrossFit and I think that's fun because

00:10:19.300 all the different movements and all the different things you can do to work on muscle and losing

00:10:25.420 weight. Why, why have you been so motivated lately? It's been, like I said, it's been, I think six to

00:10:31.580 eight weeks and I've, and I told the guys, I've never seen you as motivated as you are right now.

00:10:36.320 So what is it like? Why right now? I think I've watched, uh, Mr. Olympia before and I'm inspired by

00:10:44.540 those guys, the bodybuilders. And that's what got me sitting on the couch. I'm like, I need to get

00:10:50.540 going. I need to be doing this. So that's what inspired me. What, uh, so Mr. Olympia. So they do

00:10:56.680 like, now they're not CrossFitters. They do like strong men, like bodybuilders, powerlifting,

00:11:01.240 not so much powerlifting. I think more, more bodybuilding. Bodybuilding. Yeah.

00:11:04.880 Is that what you want to do? Or do you just already like CrossFit? Like what is it that

00:11:08.340 specifically you want to do? Um, I have no clue. I really want to be fit and I feel like I'll have

00:11:15.400 a better life if I'm fit. How so? In what ways? Uh, I feel like you'd be able to do more physical

00:11:22.600 stuff and be able to get out and do more and without need to have a lot of discipline and

00:11:29.360 all that stuff that comes along with it. So. I mean, it's true. I mean, that's what I tell the

00:11:33.700 guys is, is wherever you improve in your life and let's just take fitness in your diet for in this

00:11:39.200 instance, wherever you improve in your life, it's going to naturally and inevitably improve other

00:11:45.460 areas of your life, whether it's your studies and your schoolwork, uh, or relationships with

00:11:50.880 us as your parents or eventually with a girlfriend and fiance and a wife and children. That's weird to

00:11:57.800 think about, huh? Yeah. You like girls yet? Yeah. Yeah. Have to admit. Yes. That's a good day. 0.97

00:12:05.980 There's nothing wrong with that. We don't tease you about girls, right? Because we don't tease our

00:12:10.080 family about girls because it's important and it's good. Like why would you tease somebody about

00:12:15.520 something that's actually good and you want to encourage them to, to be engaged in? Yep.

00:12:21.140 Care to elaborate? Nope. Just like Jocko. Good. Perfect. All right. Uh, let's move on from here. So Adam

00:12:28.960 Boyce says, uh, he enjoys all of our podcasts, but this one he's very excited about. He's raising a,

00:12:35.680 uh, rate, excuse me, raising a generation of young men that are accountable, disciplined

00:12:39.020 and capable, uh, is one of the most important things that we as men do. So not really a question

00:12:44.200 in there, but he's saying how important it is that we raise, uh, accountable, disciplined

00:12:48.820 and capable men. What are your thoughts with that? Yeah. They're, they are able to lead more

00:12:55.360 and they're someone to look up to and be inspired and motivated by. So we need more of stronger

00:13:02.960 men around. And, and, and children too, right? Yep. Children, everyone. I mean, life's pretty

00:13:10.580 easy if you think about it. Yep. Like if you get cold, you turn on the heater. If you get

00:13:15.160 hot, you turn on the air conditioning. You want a piece of beef jerky. You don't have

00:13:18.340 to go. I mean, you don't need to go out and hunt. You just go to the store. Just go down

00:13:22.740 to the store and get some beef jerky or get, you know, that, that, that, that meat that's

00:13:27.340 pumped full of hormones and all that sort of thing in order to, you know, drive the price 0.81

00:13:31.960 up for it. And it's just not good, you know, so life. So what I've acknowledged and what

00:13:38.320 I recognize is that life is pretty easy and we need to create some, some hardships for

00:13:44.760 ourselves. So what, what I've seen you do, and you've been pretty active for years, but

00:13:50.600 again, specifically over the past couple of months is you're very disciplined when it comes

00:13:55.080 to your diet. You work out every single day without fail, sometimes twice a day, actually

00:14:00.660 you're very active during the day. You're way more active than you would be in the past.

00:14:05.060 Like normally you might, you know, sit down and take it easy and kind of bum out a little

00:14:09.080 bit. But now, I mean, you're up and you're running around and we built that really cool

00:14:13.260 pulley system in the barn yesterday. Yeah, that's fine. Tell them about that. Um, in his post,

00:14:19.360 it said training Rocky style today. So have you seen Rocky for when you watch, have you seen

00:14:24.580 any Rockies? I failed you. I failed you. All right. We'll get you on some Rocky movies,

00:14:29.660 but continue. So we found some old pulleys that were in our barn and we found an old rope.

00:14:36.320 So we're like, we'll just tie the pulley up there, put the rope on there. We had a lot

00:14:41.160 of leftover tires from the previous owners. So we just threw those two tires down. We tried

00:14:47.320 three. That was too heavy for me. But, uh, yeah, I just, we pull up the tires every day.

00:14:54.100 How many have you done today? Two because my grip hurts super bad. Somebody Jitsu and yeah,

00:15:01.040 we trained Jiu Jitsu this morning. Didn't we? Um, somebody had made a comment on our post about

00:15:06.420 the pulley system and they said something like, where's your gloves? Men don't wear gloves.

00:15:14.200 Exactly, man. We're trying to build strong, capable, calloused hands. We don't need any

00:15:19.160 gloves to do that. What are your, what's your thoughts on gloves? Men don't wear them. That's

00:15:23.220 what you think. Hey, you wear gloves hunting. So cause it's cold out there. Yeah. I don't wear gloves

00:15:31.920 too much. I just don't like them. All right. You don't even wear gloves when we hunt. Nope.

00:15:38.440 What's up with that? I'm a sav. You're a sav? What's a sav? Savage. Can't even say the full word,

00:15:44.420 huh? No, it's just cooler if you say sav. All right. Fair enough. Bring that microphone in a

00:15:50.640 little bit to you when you talk. Get it all up in your grill. There you go. Uh, all right,

00:15:55.380 let's move on. So Chris, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, I think is how you'd pronounce his last name

00:16:00.260 or Soraketti questions for your quote unquote, little guy. Not so little anymore. No, nope.

00:16:08.260 Uh, what is it about your dad that motivates you? Uh, he's strong and he always goes and does stuff

00:16:16.480 and, uh, he's never sitting on the couch too much. He's moving around, working out, going to jujitsu,

00:16:23.420 hunting, traveling to hunt. And yeah. So you're inspired by how active I am. Is that what you're

00:16:29.500 saying? Yeah. Active and how strong you are. And yeah. How about, um, what do you see in the way

00:16:37.180 that I treat mom? What, tell me, tell me about your perception of the way that I show up, you know,

00:16:43.420 the things that we do together, that sort of thing. It's important to, um, I don't know how to put it.

00:16:50.120 It's important to look good. And, um, I don't know what to say. What do you mean? It's what,

00:16:58.120 explain that important to look good, like me to look good for her. Is that what you're saying?

00:17:01.980 Or what are you saying? Is that the question like that? No, I'm, I'm more asking, you know,

00:17:06.800 like, what do you see? What lessons are you learning from the relationship that I have with mom?

00:17:12.120 Um, that you guys love each other and you spend time together and you argue a little bit. Everyone

00:17:20.820 does that, but yeah, it's just good to watch you guys in a relationship and, uh, going through

00:17:28.400 stuff. I have no clue. No, I'm just, I'm looking at you. Is that good? It's your answer. Yeah. How do

00:17:35.520 you feel about that answer? Okay. Yeah. Then it's good. Yeah. You don't, it's not, it's not a right

00:17:41.480 or wrong thing. It's just, I, I am really curious as to whether like what you see, you know, what's

00:17:46.700 good and, and what we could work on and what you like and what, how, when you see it, you know,

00:17:51.900 what you take away and learn from it. Um, the other thing I really like doing together and we

00:17:56.420 haven't talked about this yet too much is the store. Yep. I really like doing the store together.

00:18:00.720 Mm-hmm. Listen to Cody jinx and packaging up, um, swag and all that stuff. It's fun.

00:18:10.280 What's your favorite, what's your favorite element of the process? Um, is it signing notes? Is it

00:18:18.160 packaging hats? Is it? I like writing the notes because I know that, uh, someone will get that

00:18:25.740 note. Yeah. Just makes me feel good. Yeah. No, we get, I get it. I, and I try to show you,

00:18:30.720 as many as I can, I can't show them all to you because I would be on the phone all day long,

00:18:34.020 but there's guys, you know, who take pictures and, and they post that card that you write

00:18:39.400 and they just, they love it. They love it. It is cool. Cause you did that. Uh, it's also cool to do.

00:18:46.960 I like doing inventory and like reordering supplies cause we can see how much we've sold. And then

00:18:52.880 you're learning a lot of practical skills as well. I mean, you're learning math, you're learning money

00:18:56.680 management, you're learning inventory management, organizational systems, uh, how to, how to,

00:19:02.860 how to be efficient, not fast, right. But efficient. So you're learning a lot of good stuff just through

00:19:08.040 the process of having the store. More kids need to go through that and learn that stuff.

00:19:13.340 I think so. I mean, school is important because you can learn a lot of some of the things that we

00:19:17.580 talked about, but I think it's really valuable when you do it in a real world setting, like,

00:19:23.320 like the store. Cause what happens when somebody, you know, gets the wrong size or we send it to

00:19:27.940 the wrong address that costs us money. It makes us not look as favorable in their eyes. So there's

00:19:32.940 real world consequences for not doing it correctly and not doing as a good and efficiently and

00:19:38.720 effectively as we can. Or when our inventory is off and somebody orders an extra large, cause it

00:19:44.200 says we have one in inventory and we actually don't remember they ordered a double extra large and

00:19:48.220 we had to refund their money. Right. Cause we want to make sure they get taken care of. But still 0.97

00:19:52.060 that that's, I try to look at it and think, okay, well, they're going to be, that person's

00:19:56.280 now going to be disappointed. Yep. And I don't want people to be disappointed when they think

00:20:00.440 of what we're doing. I want them to be, I want to exceed expectations. Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't

00:20:06.680 feel good letting someone down like that, like not having their shirt or like that guy with

00:20:13.220 a PayPal, PayPal e-check. Like we couldn't send his order out till that went through. It's just,

00:20:19.760 yeah, that's how work goes. Yeah. Well, I like that you said it, it doesn't feel good to let

00:20:24.840 people down. Talk about that a little bit. Uh, you just get the feeling inside your gut

00:20:30.220 and it doesn't feel good. You just want to fix it. So we try fixing most of the stuff

00:20:36.000 comes across like refunding, sending them this, the right shirt size, all that stuff. Usually

00:20:43.700 we'll, we'll throw a little something extra in there, like a decal or something. Yep.

00:20:48.820 Yeah. No, it's good. It's good. You know, like it's funny because in most of society, it seems like

00:20:55.440 people are working so hard to ensure that you never have any moment where you would feel bad

00:21:03.300 about something. What do you think about? Do you understand what I'm saying? Like most of society is

00:21:08.340 trying to make it easy and comfortable so that you and other children don't, don't ever feel bad.

00:21:15.140 But what do you, what do you think about that? It makes you stronger mentally. If you have,

00:21:19.720 if you go through hard things, like I forgot, like hard times create strong men,

00:21:26.960 good times create weak men or something like that. Yeah. I think it goes, uh, uh, hard times create

00:21:33.320 strong men, strong men create good times, good times, good times create weak men, weak men create

00:21:39.160 hard times. Yep. That's a great quote. I like that quote. It's good that you know that. And so

00:21:45.000 that's, what's funny is society has done a lot of kids and injustice by keeping them bubble wrapped

00:21:49.680 and keeping them safe and ensuring, you know, they never feel bad or get their feelings hurt.

00:21:54.860 And there's a bully punch them in the nose. That's all you got to do. Am I right?

00:21:58.680 I think that's all you need to do. I think you're right. So making yourself capable to be able to do

00:22:03.300 that and the confidence to stand up for yourself. Some kids just don't have that confidence because

00:22:07.320 they've never been put in a situation that's tough. You know, like when we were at jujitsu this

00:22:12.260 morning, you know, you roll with two grown men, you're training with two grown men and we don't

00:22:18.060 totally take it easy on you. No. I mean, we scale back so you can work through the things,

00:22:21.760 but still you're working hard, but that's good, you know, and it's uncomfortable and it's hard.

00:22:27.460 And at times I'm sure it's discouraging maybe for you with Brody. If he gets me caught in

00:22:32.740 something. Yeah. Oh, frustrating. Don't know how to get out of it. And just it's good. Yep. It's

00:22:39.820 good because it gives you a new perspective and a new lens to look at things through. All right,

00:22:43.380 let's move on. Uh, Tom Russell, he says, it sounds like he has done a very, uh, done very well

00:22:49.960 holding himself accountable. He's talking about you. I would like to hear some of the strategies

00:22:54.040 for holding yourself accountable. We'll definitely tune in with my 12 year old son.

00:22:58.560 So he's got a 12 year old son. This is Tom Russell. So he wants to hear your thoughts,

00:23:03.680 your ideas, your strategies on holding yourself accountable. What does accountability mean to

00:23:07.940 you first? Let's, let's hit that first. It means that you're, I've said this a lot, disciplined

00:23:14.020 and you know, your responsibilities and you fulfill those responsibilities.

00:23:19.220 So when it comes to responsibility, why? So you have, you have a lot of responsibilities. The

00:23:25.100 store is one of them, uh, doing chores and things around the house. You have schoolwork. There's

00:23:29.800 responsibilities around here that you have. Why do you feel like that's important? Because that's

00:23:34.140 one of the things you said is that I'm accountable to my responsibilities. What, what, what makes you

00:23:39.180 accountable? Why is that important? What's your mindset there? Uh, I know it makes your family

00:23:43.840 proud that you're listening to them and doing what they want you to do and, um, helps you a lot.

00:23:50.860 And it gives you something to do and like a pet, something to take care of and make sure you,

00:23:57.000 yeah. You know what I'm saying? I know what you're saying. Yeah, no, I get it. Uh, you have a dog,

00:24:03.040 you know, you have other responsibilities. And so it's not always fun to have to let the dogs out,

00:24:08.060 you know, late at night before you're going to go to bed or, uh, or, or do the dishes. You know,

00:24:12.500 sometimes you're like, well, I just want to go play. Well, okay. But you got to do the dishes

00:24:15.760 first. Yeah. So what, so accountability is, is doing the things that you said you're going to do

00:24:22.120 that you committed to doing. So Tom says here, what are some strategies for holding yourself

00:24:27.440 accountable? Um, we're doing, well, I'm doing Steve Weatherford's monobolic metabolic, metabolic,

00:24:35.520 uh, reset. And the thing that you do is you eat big meals, like healthy meals, uh, breakfast is eggs

00:24:44.920 and sausages. And that will help you, um, stay not, you won't be hungry throughout the day till the next

00:24:55.280 meal because you had a big healthy meal before the other. So you're not doing a bunch of snacking

00:25:01.040 throughout the day, which is like what, I mean, let's be honest, that's what you used to do. Right.

00:25:04.540 Yeah. And that's what I do a lot too, is I liked it. I like to snack late at night.

00:25:09.140 That's my downfall. Chips and salsa. Chips and salsa. That's right. Everybody knows that about me

00:25:13.420 because I've talked about it on the podcast. Um, so, all right, so let's, uh, so you're doing Steve

00:25:19.080 Weatherford's metabolic reset, which is really cool. You and mom are doing that. Let's say that, uh,

00:25:24.320 mom makes a delicious batch of cinnamon rolls or brownies or these delicious items and you see

00:25:33.440 one sitting on the counter and nobody's looking and you're like, dang, that looks really good.

00:25:38.300 What? Cause I know you, you wouldn't have one. Oh, last night with the Pillsbury biscuits. Like I was

00:25:44.060 like, I like looked at the nutrients facts. I'm like, no, too much. Yeah. I was like, no, no, no.

00:25:50.160 So, so, but what is it that keeps you accountable or keeps you on track? Are there things that you

00:25:56.900 say to yourself? Like, okay, I want those, I want those biscuits. Give me those, give me them

00:26:02.120 biscuits. Or, or is there like, what is it that you do to like not eat the biscuits? Cause I want to

00:26:09.940 eat the biscuits. And so do other people. Um, usually I grab a fruit, like an apple or banana. That's

00:26:15.740 what I have if I'm hungry during the day or something. And sometimes with breakfast, I have

00:26:22.260 milk. Yeah. Yeah. Well, so you just replace it with something else. You just substitute it out

00:26:27.460 for something that's healthier. Cause fruits and vegetables are good to have. Yeah. Oh yeah,

00:26:32.960 definitely. So that's what I do. Um, what's, so what are your, what's your goal? Like I know

00:26:38.240 you want to talk about your, your stats right now. So let's talk about your weight. Okay. Um,

00:26:43.740 so what do you weigh right now? Uh, 134. Okay. And you are down how much? 20 pounds,

00:26:50.680 20 pounds in like a couple of months, which is awesome. Yeah. And then what was your body fat

00:26:56.120 percentage when you started? Uh, like 22 body fat and now it's 16 body fat. That's awesome.

00:27:03.020 That's so good. What are you trying to get to? Uh, I'd like to get, try to get to 15 and then I want

00:27:09.820 to try going down to 10. 10 is pretty low. Yeah, I know. We'll look at it. If I keep building that

00:27:16.160 muscle. Yeah. And we can always evaluate it too. Like, you know, okay. So, okay. So you got,

00:27:21.200 uh, 16 trying to get under 15 now is your goal, right? You said, okay. And then what,

00:27:26.400 so do you remember your, uh, muscle percentage? Do you remember?

00:27:31.060 I was like 46 and now I'm at 50% muscle. So is it 50% or 50? Yeah. 50%? Yeah. That's awesome. So 4%

00:27:41.580 in muscle mass is what you've put on. Yep. So you've lost six pounds in body fat or excuse me,

00:27:48.120 6% in body fat and you've gained 4% in muscle mass over that same timeframe. Yep. Dang kid.

00:27:56.280 Uh, what other goals do you have? Do you have goals to compete in bodybuilding? Is that something

00:28:02.800 that sounds interesting to you? I'd like to try CrossFit games and Olympics and the Highland

00:28:09.560 games sound pretty fun. That would be cool. We need to look into that. Yep. You're going

00:28:13.980 to be a big kid. How tall do you think you're going to be? Uh, 6'2". I bet you're going to

00:28:19.260 be taller than that. Like grandpa or something like Andy, like 6'4". I think you're going to

00:28:24.360 be six, three or six, four. You think when, when do you think if ever you'll be able to

00:28:30.260 take me? Never. The answer is never. No, you're getting older. I'm getting stronger. I might

00:28:37.920 be getting older. I'm also getting stronger and I'm also getting wiser at an accelerated

00:28:42.280 pace. Okay. So let's, let's hear an answer. When do you think you'll be able to take me?

00:28:49.360 A year? 25. At age 25? Dude, that's like 13 years away. I don't know. It's going to take

00:29:02.580 you 13 years to be able to compete with me? Probably 16. 16? In four years you think you're

00:29:10.580 going to be able to take me? Take me at what? What's the competition? I don't know. There's

00:29:16.640 lots of competition. Yeah. Pick one. What do you think? Arm wrestling. You think at age

00:29:21.920 16 you're going to beat me at arm wrestling? Yeah. Yeah, I do. Okay. Deal. You got, you

00:29:27.560 guys heard it, heard it here. So at 16, Bracken and I are going to arm wrestle and see. Anything

00:29:33.580 else? How about jujitsu? How long before you can take me at jujitsu? A while. You're pretty

00:29:40.180 good. It's all relative. Hey, you're a blue belt. Yeah, I am, but it's all relative. There's

00:29:45.100 always somebody bigger, faster, stronger, smarter, better than you. It's going to be

00:29:48.700 me. All of those things? You're going to be better than me? I hope so. That's the

00:29:52.980 goal, right? Like that, shouldn't that be my goal as a father? Yeah. Like I hope that

00:29:57.680 you're bigger, faster, smarter, more successful, all of those things than I am. I hope that.

00:30:03.200 I'll still always be able to take you. Old man's strength always prevails.

00:30:06.440 You're laughing. All right. Moose says. Moose? Moose. Mustafa Abdul Wahid, but he goes by

00:30:15.440 Moose. He's in the Iron Council. He's one of our team leaders in the Iron Council. He

00:30:19.200 says, what challenges do you set for yourself? Do you want to set for yourself next? We kind

00:30:24.440 of talked about that a little bit. And then also what scares you to think about doing?

00:30:30.160 Like scares in a good way, not like afraid, but like what's like a goal where you're like,

00:30:34.220 I'm a little afraid of that, but it would be good for me. That sort of thing.

00:30:39.240 Trying to think of a goal that I'm scared of. Well, there's probably a lot of goals that I'm

00:30:43.460 scared of. Let's hear them. Can't think of any right offhand. Maybe that's something you should

00:30:49.720 think about. Yeah. Is like, what is something that you're nervous about, but you want to do,

00:30:55.380 but it's a little scary and you'd really have to push outside of your comfort zone.

00:30:59.900 I can't think of one right now. I know. And then what I'm saying is maybe this is a good time to

00:31:03.680 start thinking about those things. Yeah. Cause we have this area that we operate and that's our

00:31:09.960 comfort zone. Right. And so imagine this comfort zone is a circle and we're right in the middle

00:31:14.000 and we'll do all of these little things and activities from hunting and trying new things

00:31:18.260 and going to CrossFit and jujitsu and schoolwork and approaching girls, like all of these things,

00:31:23.180 just wherever in that circle that we're already comfortable with, but no additional growth takes

00:31:28.480 place in that circle. All of the growth takes place outside of the perimeter of that circle

00:31:33.940 and you're on where you're uncomfortable, right? There's no comfort. There's less comfort in those

00:31:40.640 things. But when you're uncomfortable, that's when you learn new things. That's when you get new

00:31:45.520 feedback. You know, like when you go to jujitsu, when you very first started, you were probably pretty

00:31:51.060 nervous, right? Yeah. And some grown men. Yeah. So that was outside of your comfort zone. Do you get

00:31:58.420 nervous now? Sometimes. Maybe a little. Probably learn something new at night. But is it, is it easier

00:32:05.540 or harder for you now? It's definitely easier. Right. Cause your comfort zone expanded. And now if

00:32:12.600 you want to get better, you got to step out of that and then out of that and then out of that.

00:32:17.180 Yeah. Cole was scary with rolling with. Cole was, he was. Those bread cutter chokes. I have 0.99

00:32:22.640 bruises on my sternum. And he's got those like long, like strong bony limbs where he would just

00:32:29.820 dig his elbows or forearms or shins. Even me, like he would dig, I mean, what is he? 15, 16 years old?

00:32:36.400 15. 15. And he would dig his shins right across my leg. I'm like, Oh, that hurts. Yeah. It hurts.

00:32:42.220 Yep. But you're still going. He's got to come back. We got to get him coming back. He's got school

00:32:46.660 and things. So he, it's a little tougher for him, but yeah. Um, any other goals or challenges that

00:32:51.820 you want to do next? Uh, I'd like to try building more muscle if that's a challenge. Yeah. That's a

00:32:59.140 challenge. Well, like muscle, where, where do you want to build more muscle? Obviously everywhere,

00:33:03.420 but like, where do you want to focus? Um, I'd like to get some abs, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do some

00:33:09.220 core exercises. Cool. I like that. We can use that pulley for some core exercises. Oh yeah. Like some

00:33:15.740 twisting. You could hold it. Yeah. You could lay down and like pull it or do some crunches

00:33:21.200 with it. Um, or you can, you can sit and you could just keep the tire suspended and then

00:33:26.780 just twist and do like 10 of those as you're pulling, but you've got to keep your arms tight

00:33:30.920 and then just pull them down and then switch. Now you're twisting the other way. That would

00:33:35.520 really help. Yeah. So you just be a little creative and you do it every day, right? Somebody had

00:33:40.060 said something about like, Oh, is he going to get burned out with training every day?

00:33:44.080 No. Your body just evolves to what you demand of it, you know? So, all right. It's weaker

00:33:51.680 when I don't do training. That's right. Yeah. All right. So Lee, Leandro, Bella, Verna,

00:34:00.000 Verno, Vernocchi. So I would say that Leandro, Bella Vernocchi. This is amazing. Ryan

00:34:04.900 Mickler is an example of the good harvest of what has been sown. Uh, would he like to answer

00:34:09.000 the things he will advise others on his age to become more disciplined? Uh, so he's, he's saying

00:34:14.420 what advice do you have for somebody your age so that they can be more disciplined, uh, and

00:34:20.860 motivated? Um, eating and working out. You could be, that's hard a little better. Yeah. That that's

00:34:30.300 hard getting up and saying, gotta go work out. It's hard. Once you're sitting on that couch,

00:34:35.400 you're like, gotta go work out. It's hard getting up from the couch and going and working

00:34:39.960 out. Totally. Yeah. Why do you do it? Me? Yeah. Oh, because I want to keep my body like

00:34:47.020 this. Why? That's what you have to do. Cause it feels good. It just feels better. Feels

00:34:53.080 like you're not dragging around that extra weight and feel light and lean and light and

00:34:58.500 lean. Awesome. Yep. Cool. I like it. Anything else to help others your age be more disciplined

00:35:05.260 and motivated? Maybe not necessarily like what, I mean, what is important, but maybe there's

00:35:10.720 some, some mindset, some things they could be thinking about. Um, it's hard. Think on that

00:35:21.480 a little bit. Okay. Think on that. Planning has been important for you. Planning out your

00:35:28.360 day, thinking about what you want to accomplish. That stuff's important. And you also have,

00:35:34.140 I mean, obviously I'm a bit biased when I say this, but you also have parents who are deeply

00:35:38.460 vested in making sure that you're doing these things too. Yeah. So we're presenting these

00:35:42.460 opportunities and I'm not trying to toot on my own horn here, but we do need to acknowledge

00:35:46.420 that there's always other people who will help us along the path. You know, for example,

00:35:52.180 when we were out hunting this morning, we had some success this morning, which was great.

00:35:57.180 Well, we never would have been in this situation if it weren't doing the podcast, if we were doing

00:36:02.520 the podcast. But what I was going to say is we'd never be in this situation. If it were not for

00:36:06.880 Colin Cottrell taking me on my first hunt, taking you on your first hunt, it's always important that

00:36:12.840 we acknowledge that there's other people who've helped us to get to where we are. It's never us

00:36:18.400 by ourselves. There's things that you have done a very good job on, but there's also opportunities

00:36:23.780 like mom gets up with you three days a week. I get up with you two to three days a week early. I mean,

00:36:30.060 we're talking five o'clock in the morning to get up and do those things. So we need to acknowledge

00:36:34.780 others on the path as well. That's important. Cool. Looks like we've got a couple more here. Okay.

00:36:38.880 Okay. All right. So Charles Jake Messimer says, what do you feel your father has given you morally?

00:36:45.320 Do you know what morally is? Morally is your, like who, who you are more than your, your strength

00:36:55.000 and your physical, it's your spiritual wellbeing. It's the way you think about things. It's the,

00:37:01.740 it's knowing the difference between right and wrong. That's moral morality. What do you feel your

00:37:08.260 father has given you morally that has helped you be on the path of becoming a better human?

00:37:13.960 And that's his first question. And then, uh, I'll ask his follow-up question to that in a minute.

00:37:20.240 Um, just every time you fall getting back up, like, like, um, last week he didn't train too much

00:37:28.860 because he had the kids, but this week you're trying to get as much training as, as in as you can

00:37:35.040 so that you can go hunt. And then when you come back, you can train more. Yeah.

00:37:40.740 So if I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying still honoring your commitments, even

00:37:45.360 though things come up, you, you see me doing that and that motivates you. Yeah. Cool. What else?

00:37:52.540 There's a whole bunch.

00:37:53.780 What lessons, what are some of the important lessons do you feel like I've taught you throughout

00:38:01.600 your life up to this point? Oh, that felt good. Pop those knuckles. Yeah. Um, I don't know.

00:38:11.380 Just like, just never giving up. Like I said on that next one, it's really, I feel like you've done

00:38:19.520 that a lot. Like, um, when I slept in for the event workout, you're like, come on, you gotta

00:38:27.640 go do burpees in the cold grass. I'm like, oh, come on. Hey man, you snooze, you lose. Yeah.

00:38:34.620 Is that my fault or your fault for you not getting up? My fault. Even though you were supposed

00:38:39.840 to wake me up, it's my fault still. Well, I did tell you I was going to wake you up and

00:38:44.400 I just forgot cause I got excited and it went out there. So I will take some, some burden

00:38:49.780 of responsibility, but also you can get up too. Yeah. Set the alarm. That's right. All

00:38:57.420 right. Cool. Uh, he also says, this is his followup question. Then we'll get to the last

00:39:01.060 one here in a minute. Uh, what actions of mine stand out to you that motivate you?

00:39:08.280 And you're looking at me like, you don't, what, what is it that I do? So you see me

00:39:17.460 okay. On a daily basis, right? You see me working, you see me interacting with you guys.

00:39:21.160 You see me doing the store. You see me hunting. You see me networking. You see me podcasting.

00:39:25.960 You see me doing jujitsu. I mean, I'm doing a lot of things every single day. I'm on social

00:39:30.100 media. What of those things stand out? And you're like, man, I really see him doing these

00:39:35.220 things. Cause here's what, here's why these guys are asking. They want to know what they

00:39:39.740 can do so that they can motivate and inspire their children. Uh, I like how you cut out

00:39:45.680 time for us. Like, um, usually it's at night. You always come up and build Legos with us.

00:39:53.780 And it's just nice that you've been working all day and you save some time to hang out

00:39:58.420 with us and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I try to do that and it's becomes increasingly difficult

00:40:03.360 with four kids. Yeah. But like, if you think about yesterday, I mean, we did a lot yesterday.

00:40:09.640 Can't even remember. We went hunting. Didn't we go hunting in the morning?

00:40:13.040 No, it was Sunday yesterday. Oh, that's right. Yeah.

00:40:16.060 Wasn't it? No. Yeah. What day is it? It's Monday. It's Monday. Okay. Yeah. So we didn't go

00:40:20.800 hunting. No, but we did, we did do something else. It wasn't hunt. That's why it wasn't hunting.

00:40:25.040 We did something else outside. Did the pulley thing? No, before that it's along the same lines

00:40:32.500 as hunting. Something with the food pot. No. Really? You can't remember? Oh, a tree stand.

00:40:40.320 Yeah. A tree stand. I was like, oh. We set up the tree stand. Which is a pain. It was a

00:40:46.500 pain. It's heavy. It's still a pain. It's kind of sketchy climbing up there every day. Yeah.

00:40:51.060 So we did that. And then we built the pulley. And then I also helped Eli. Eli came out and

00:40:57.920 helped me build the Lego table. So, I mean, it's hard to get that time with all of you

00:41:03.740 guys. Yeah. But I tried it. Eli's probably not going to hunt with us because he just is

00:41:07.880 not that interested. But he's like, let's build a Lego table. I'm all about it for sure.

00:41:12.240 Right? So doing the things that are meaningful to you, not the things that are necessarily

00:41:16.920 meaningful to me. Although I do like Legos and I do like hunting. So pretty safe there.

00:41:21.940 Cool. All right. Let's take the last one here and then we'll be done. Okay. So Jerry Lee

00:41:26.360 says, what is the biggest physical difference that you have noticed?

00:41:33.980 I've just lost weight in my belly. Is that stomach? Belly, stomach. Not kid word, belly.

00:41:42.240 Love handles have gone down. Yep. Fat in my armpits. My face has leaned out. Yeah, your face

00:41:50.500 has totally leaned out. Lost a little bit of a double chin. Yeah. What about from a strength

00:41:56.220 perspective? Do you feel stronger or do you just know you're stronger? Yeah, I feel stronger.

00:42:00.780 You feel like things are easier to move around. You're getting stronger at the gym? Mm-hmm.

00:42:06.960 How about jujitsu? Do you feel like you're stronger? You're able to better like hold yourself

00:42:10.640 and move and jujitsu is hard because the whole goal of somebody else is to make you feel like

00:42:16.860 you're skating on ice, you know? So just keeping you off balance. Yeah. Okay. So his follow-up

00:42:23.620 question is what is the biggest mental and emotional difference that you've noticed since being on

00:42:29.060 your journey? Uh, I definitely feel better about myself. Is that mental? That's mental. That's a

00:42:36.620 confidence thing. Absolutely. I feel way better about my body and yeah. What do you think about

00:42:43.380 emotional? So emotional, like emotional would be like if, cause it's okay to be emo, it's okay to

00:42:52.340 have emotions, right? Like people say, well, you know, it's okay to cry. Yeah. Sometimes. And

00:42:57.340 sometimes it's not okay to cry, but emotions are your feelings. So do you feel like you were able to

00:43:03.800 better control those emotions? Do you feel like you're more resilient or tougher emotionally that

00:43:10.280 things don't get to you? Is that something you feel or no? Maybe a little tougher with my emotions. Like

00:43:17.800 I don't throw fits too much anymore. Yeah. I mean, that's a good, that's, that's important because a lot

00:43:26.220 of the times when, you know, you're, you're not pushing against anything hard, whether it's another

00:43:31.820 human or weights or whatever, you know, you have no frame of reference for what is hard and what

00:43:37.200 isn't. And so, you know, you, you have a bad day at school and it's like, if you just got done

00:43:44.260 getting your butt kicked to jujitsu, then the day at school, isn't going to be as bad because it's not

00:43:50.640 as hard as what you did at jujitsu or you do a really hard workout. Cause I know you come home and 0.95

00:43:55.440 you get, get done with CrossFit and you're like, dad, my legs hurt so bad. And then everything else

00:44:00.660 just doesn't seem quite as hard. That makes you that you're more emotionally and mentally resilient.

00:44:08.040 Do you know what that means? Resilient? Talking to them, talking to the mic. I've heard you say a few

00:44:14.320 times, but resilient means you're able to just carry on in the face of hardship. So, you know, if,

00:44:21.600 if, uh, somebody says something to you or you have a bad experience or you get a bad,

00:44:27.980 uh, school day or you get in trouble at home, resilience is the ability to drive on, to do the

00:44:37.420 things that you know you should be doing and not let those types of things deter you. I'll give you

00:44:41.360 another great example. I know you've been pretty discouraged about hunting, right? And so one thing

00:44:46.940 that's really cool about you is you're very resilient when it comes to that, because, uh,

00:44:52.600 a lot of, a lot of kids your age would probably just not hunt anymore. They'd be like, this is stupid. 0.99

00:44:58.300 Uh, I don't want to do this anymore. That kind of thing. Uh, and yet you're like, no, let's keep 1.00

00:45:05.280 going. Sorry. I get these notifications. Let me turn this off there. Okay. There we go. And so you're

00:45:12.440 like, no, let's keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. That's resilience. Yesterday. I was

00:45:16.960 you're so frustrated. I was mad. Well, we went and sat on Saturday. We went and visited some friends

00:45:23.340 and, uh, your, your friend shot a really nice eight point and you were excited for him for sure.

00:45:30.980 But you were also kind of like, I want to shoot something. I want to shoot the eight point that's

00:45:35.640 in our property, but he comes out too early. So I'm like, never going to get a deer. Nothing's

00:45:42.420 going to work. Come out today and kill a turkey. Feels good. Yeah. You just got to put yourself 0.99

00:45:47.940 time in the field, right? Just time in the game. Just, and you, I remember you saying Saturday

00:45:52.320 night, you're like, well, how come he gets all the things? And I, and what did I say about it?

00:45:56.100 Do you remember? No. You said, well, how come like he's out there and how come he got that

00:46:00.340 buck to come in? Oh yeah. Time in the field. That's what I said. Right. I said,

00:46:03.780 they're out there all the time. His dad's taking them out. He's out. He knows where

00:46:07.720 the deer are. He's watching them. He's scouting them. They were sitting in the field last year

00:46:13.880 when you guys, you and him went hunting together, you were out there for hours and hours and hours

00:46:18.040 over a course of two or three days. Time in the field. You got to keep yourself in the

00:46:22.180 game. Yep. And then, and then you have something that pays off. Yeah. Like today, I mean, we

00:46:27.020 went down there to that lower trail and we, I thought we spooked them cause I didn't see

00:46:32.280 them and I'm like, ah, discouraged. Right. So what do people do? They quit, but we didn't

00:46:36.220 quit. We said, all right, let's go this way and we'll go up to the tree stand. We get up

00:46:39.780 to the tree stand. We were there in the tree stand for about an hour thinking maybe they'd

00:46:42.700 come down. They didn't come down. An hour. We were up there for an hour. We got in there

00:46:45.980 at 10, let's see, we got in there at 10, 15 ish and we got down just after 11. So maybe

00:46:51.380 just under an hour. So we get down and right as we get down, I'm like, let's you actually,

00:46:57.920 you said, you're like, I said, do you want to go back? And he said, let's just peek up over

00:47:01.460 this hill and we walked up over that hill and we saw him. So we got in the truck and

00:47:05.040 we went around and we ambushed him and it's just, it's resilience and you give yourself

00:47:12.060 a bunch of at bats. Yep. That was fun. That was fun. You're still in cloud nine about it,

00:47:19.500 huh? Yeah. All right, man. Well, that was the last question. So that's what the guys wanted

00:47:23.680 to hear. Uh, any parting words of wisdom for the men listening and they're going to be

00:47:29.460 dads mostly, uh, or their, their sons and daughters who are listening. Um, just go do

00:47:35.920 it. Just go do it. Just go get to work. Stop thinking about it. Do you want to send the ladies 1.00

00:47:42.320 who are listening a message or anything? All right, buddy. Stay cool. Hey man, I love you. I appreciate

00:47:52.900 you. Love you too. It's exciting to watch you grow and develop and become a fine young man. Um, I told

00:47:59.460 the guys, you know, I would stare at you when you were born and just like, look at what we have

00:48:05.120 created. You know, mom and I have created. And even now I watch you and I see you grow and develop and

00:48:10.240 at times struggle and other times do really well and figure things out and just like keep fighting and

00:48:16.380 keep going through it. And it's really cool to watch. It's cool to be part of. So I love you.

00:48:21.160 Love you too. All right. Thanks bud. Thank you.

00:48:25.780 Gentlemen, there you go. My conversation with my son Brecken. I hope that you enjoyed that one.

00:48:30.160 As I said, in the beginning of the show, a little bit different than we have done in the past, but

00:48:34.140 what a powerful opportunity. And I feel like if I have a chance to have him come in and

00:48:38.380 have a formal interview conversation, then I need to take advantage of it. And I hope that you're

00:48:43.240 tuning in with your kids and listening in and that you have some, some fuel, some motivation for them

00:48:49.580 to maybe get on their own kicks and to have some of their dreams and desires and work hard towards

00:48:54.480 those objectives. If you enjoyed the podcast, please let me know. And if you do let me know,

00:49:00.120 then I will make sure to pass that along to Brecken. He does not have social media. He's young still.

00:49:04.840 So we don't let the kids have social media. But if you, if you do share something with me on Instagram

00:49:10.420 or Facebook or Twitter, wherever you're doing the social media thing, and you want to tell him

00:49:14.620 something specific, then I will ensure that I make sure that he gets the message and, and, uh,

00:49:20.700 here's from you, uh, through, through, through me, his father. All right. So, uh, please connect with
