The Inspired Legacy Podcast
I know many men who dream about starting their own business, but entrepreneurship—or solopreneurship—comes with many challenges. Today's guest is Gabe Nelson. He specializes in helping people overcome the challenges of business ownership and master their finances along the way, helping them create the life they want for themselves and, potentially, generations to come. If you're hungry to carve out your own path in life, then do not miss this conversation.
Have you ever felt called to something but found yourself unable to make the leap of faith necessary to make your dream a reality? Perhaps you’ve been unable to discern if your vision aligns with God’s plan for your life? Or, maybe you’re tired of living life on your terms but unsure of how to put God in charge? If you can relate to any of this, then this episode is for you.
There are a lot of misconceptions about the Holy Spirit that can cause us to miss out on experiencing a life of greater purpose. As leaders in our homes, we need to understand who the Spirit is and his role in our families' lives. Join me and my guest, Bruce Blumer, as we unpack his new book Mighty Winds and Gentle Whispers: The Purpose and Power of the Holy Spirit. If you're looking for a practical resource on how to develop a closer relationship with God, based on biblical knowledge and backed with inspirational stories, you'll want to tune in.
There are few things more grotesque and evil than the exploitation of women and children for sexual gain. Sadly, there's an entire industry devoted to it, fueled by the insatiable sexual appetites of men around the world. David Zach, the lead singer/songwriter for the band Remedy Drive, joins the show to talk about his role with The Exodus Road, a counter-trafficking organization committed to cracking down on the criminal networks responsible for trafficking women and teenagers around the world. This is a problem created by men, and it will require good men like David Zach to step up and take action if we hope to bring it to an end.
I grew up with immense respect for our servicemen and women and have long believed that their experiences have a lot to teach us—if we would listen. That's why I'm excited to introduce John Mollison, an award-winning artist, and filmmaker who, in his words, "interviews old guys and draws their airplanes." But John's work is so much more. It not only captures stories from some of our nation's greatest heroes but provides opportunities for us to learn from their life experiences so that we might become better husbands, fathers, and leaders.
In this episode, I talk with Senator John Thune. As someone in the spotlight and under constant scrutiny from the opposition, he has remained true to himself and his heritage, guided by his faith and conviction in Jesus Christ. During our conversation, we touched on a range of topics, from how his upbringing shaped him into the man he is today to how God uses people and opportunities to reveal His plans. We also discuss why we must all remain prayerful as our culture continues to shift away from God at an alarming speed. There's a lot packed into this episode.
Tune in and find out how you can find your “dad edge” to be a better dad, husband, and all-around better man. My guest today is Larry Hagner, and he’s coached men for years to achieve success in 5 dimensions of fatherhood: health, relationships, children, career, and finances. We also talk about Larry’s new book called Screen Time: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, which promises to be a great resource for kids and parents.
My guest today is Jordan Miller, founder of Run2Gun, Seeker Supplements, and host of Run2Gun TV and the Live Beyond Average Podcast. Jordan is a very experienced hunter and personal trainer, with countless multi-day hunts logged across the country. Join our discussion as we talk about hunting and the many life lessons it offers to all who participate in the sport.
If you’ve ever contemplated writing your kids a thoughtful letter—one they’d keep with them forever—then don’t miss this conversation with Blake Brewer. He’s the CEO and founder of The Endurance and the Legacy Letter Challenge, where he coaches men how to write meaningful and effective letters that help leave a lasting legacy for their kids.
Today's episode features Brian Dougherty, the founder of the Declan James Watch Company. He also happens to be a Navy SEAL with two deployments with the Teams and one shore-duty assignment as a BUDS instructor. His watch company not only makes beautiful watches but incorporates the concept of legacy into everything they do. If you’ve ever thought about your legacy as a dad, you don’t want to miss this.
Crafting meaningful experiences that we can share with our kids is one of the most effective ways to strengthen our relationship with them. My guest today is Nigel J Bennett, author of Take That Leap, Risking It All For What REALLY Matters. He is also an accomplished entrepreneur, speaker, philanthropist, and family man who, along with his wife, designed an experiential lifestyle for their family. Hear how they did this and how it impacted the lives of his family, both then and now.
In this episode, I chat with pastor Adam Weber about the concept of “am I running the race well?” from the perspective of being a husband and father. If you are struggling as a dad and looking for hope and encouragement, as well as some practical tips on how to finish strong, then this episode is for you.
If you want to make a positive impact on a child’s life, consider coaching youth sports. This episode features Andy Traub. He is a veteran youth coach who has developed practical methods of helping kids navigate their emotions for improved performance. He also shares the many ways coaches can build up players and help them play to their potential without losing love for the game, along with much more. If you’re a parent-coach or merely a supportive sideline parent, you’ll be able to apply much of this conversation to your child’s next season. And even if your kid isn’t into sports, there are concepts discussed here that can apply to anyone.
Leaving a legacy doesn’t just mean leaving a gift of money or personal property, it can mean so much more. Ultimately, our legacy is the story of how we live life and the Godly example we set for our children and future generations. Our life story will be told no matter the outcome. This thought provides extreme clarity in not only how we must live our life now, but how it should be someday told. My guest, Jeremy Brown, is an expert in helping people craft, document, and share their legacy.
