Ep. 7 - Five Reasons I'm Learning the Trades - Reason 1

How I've managed to have the best guests on Banecast is beyond me, but episode 44 continues the trend with hunter and hunting show filmmaker/editor, Kurtis Blosser. In the past six years he has accomplished a lot in the world of hunting television by contributing to work showcased on most of the major hunting networks and even the Discovery Channel. We talk about filming a hunt, the perks of filming the outdoors, what it takes to start the adventure of creating, and more! Thanks for listening!

Proverbs 11:24 says, "One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want." (ESV) In this episode I discuss the benefits of giving things away for free as an entrepreneur. 

In this episode I try to explain the importance of teaching younger people the reason we do things the way we do them. The "why" is foundational to having a truly full-orbed understanding of any subject or skill. Thanks for listening! 

To put it simply, it was a joy getting to speak with this man and faithful brother in Christ. Jordan Goodwin is a full time, traditional blacksmith and the entrepreneur behind Axe & Anvil. We jumped into some key subjects underpinning vocational training and the success of young people on their way to adulthood. From discussing the purpose of education to the historic nature of apprenticeship it was a valuable conversation to have. Thank you for listening, and stay tuned for a part 2!

This episode, I had the honor of speaking with the man who instigated this podcast--Darren Doane. He is a top level music video director, filmmaker, and content creating artist. Having worked with the likes of Jimmy Buffett, Jason Mraz, Blink 182, the Zac Brown Band, and hundreds of others, he knows hard work. We talked about the world's current situation through the dual lens of small business ownership and content creation. I learned a ton. Thank you for listening! 

This episode we talk a little bit about failure, specifically how it pertains to building, creating, and otherwise making things. Thanks for listening!

This episode I talk about my own transition out of my day job to working hard pursuing what I really want to do. I hope this is encouraging to you. Thanks for listening! 

This episode I suggest three books to pick up and read. One is on leathercraft, one is on blacksmithing, and the last one is on work in general. Toward the end, I give a little shout out to a blacksmith I've recently met through Instagram, Jordan Goodwin of Axe and Anvil. Check his Instagram page out or look him up at https://axe-n-anvil.com/ Enjoy! 

The title says it all. 

You read the title correctly. This go round I talk about what I see as a starving need for mentorship from one generation to another and how the internet and social media are playing roles therein. As a second segment I speak a little bit about video games, where their going and how they can be recreational.
