I'm all for self-improvement -- which should be obvious given the mission of Wolf & Iron -- but there is a side to it which can lead to self-absorbed, individualism which is never a good thing.

Focusing too much on ourselves can lead to selfishness. Don't wait to be perfect in order to have someone in your life to grow with.

Raising kids can be tough. I'd give it an overall 7.5/10. But when they begin making it on their own, it really pays off.

Growing up in an undistracted world was such a blessing. It's a shame most young men won't experience it these days. It's yet another thing that we have to be intentional about. Boredom increases creativity and relaxes the mind (after a bit of frustration) and we could all use more of it.

A few thoughts on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk.

As I mentioned a while back in the podcast titled, "Changes" Wolf & Iron is going to become a nonprofit.

The new 501c3 will be titled The Wolf & Iron Foundation. Some initial approvals by the state and fed have already taken place! Now we wait for the final approval by the feds.

In this episode I talk a bit about why I am making this change as well as what will change and what will remain the same about Wolf & Iron!

Trump won and it looks like we're about to get America back!

I remember reading, when I was just turning about 28 myself, that the average man's brain doesn't mature until age 27. I could feel it happening for myself at that time. Although I had been in the Navy, married with kids and had an actual career at that point, certain aspects of life were just starting to "click" for me. The next decade would be a time of incredible personal growth.

For most of my life I have unknowingly put "style" in the category of "Vanity". Many of the examples of style these days are from over-done, posh get ups in magazines and the like. However, being a photographer has really changed my thoughts on this and I've moved from thinking of style as vanity to considering it a responsibility that every many should take seriously.
