Banecast

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. 

Hello there! First of all, thank you for even considering listening to this podcast. You're time is important to me and I hope it is well spent by listening. Speaking of time, if you don't want to spend 10 minutes hearing about some wallets I have for sale then feel free to skip from minute 17 to time marker 27:54. A video will be uploaded to the Banecast Facebook page where you can see said wallets. Peace! 

It's been WAY too long! I can't begin to fully express my appreciation for any of you who have listened and will continue to listen. It honestly wouldn't matter if it were one person who benefited from it or found it entertaining. Having one person listening means the world. So, thank you! This episode is a catch-up episode and is the first of many to come. So, thank you for patiently waiting for a new episode! Please message me at Banecast on Facebook or at banegoods@gmail.com

In this episode, I talk about being grateful for the complex process and series of events that goes into being able to perform the crafts we love. From the cattle rancher to the airline pilot to the retail store, so much goes into getting something as simple as a leather hide from the cow to the consumer. Think about it and be grateful! 

This is an update episode after being silent for almost two weeks. Lots of fun stuff coming up! 

Here it is! The final episode of this fun and slightly crazy 30 day challenge! I talk about a number of things related to having completed this challenge and I give some announcements about future plans. Thank you for listening! 

In this episode I discuss the importance of repetition and consistency in hard work and especially the trades.

Well, this is kind of a hodgepodge of thoughts on hard work. Nothing to groundbreaking here, but hopefully it is encouraging and gives you the motivation you need to work hard! 

We hear a lot about "the grind" or "the hustle", but it dawned on me that what we mean by those terms would have been nothing new to our forefathers. We talk about 12 and 14 hour days like we're something special. We're not. We talk about working from sunup to sundown and then some, as if we're a new breed of human. We're not. All that has happened is the old way has been resurrected and given a new name. We call it "the grind" and "the hustle." Our great-great-grandfathers would of simply called it "work." 

The incarnation and our physical hope. 

In this episode I give a very basic list of what someone needs in order to start the craft and art of blacksmithing. I then go into what my personal, daily grind looks like as I've done this podcast and tried advancing my skill level in the trades of blacksmithing and leathercraft.
