This week on the podcast I had the opportunity to speak with James Altucher. James is an author, investor, entrepreneur, and podcast host among many other things.

We discuss Twitter, chess, skipping the line, and how improving micro-skills can help you bypass that pesky 10,000-hour rule made popular by Malcolm Gladwell.

This week on the podcast we had a chance to speak with Ryan Hendrickson.

Everyone faces challenges, battles, and circumstances beyond their control. What we can control is our attitude and our character in adversity.

There may be no better example of this than Ryan Hendrickson. Ryan is a Green Beret and author of "Tip of The Spear": The Incredible True Story of An Injured Green Berets Return To Battle. And incredible it is.

Ryan Shares his story and how he chose not to be a victim to his circumstances-a lesson every man can and should embrace.

This week on the podcast I speak with Dr. Anna Machin. Dr. Machin is an anthropologist focusing on the roles fathers play in a child's life as well as the biological changes that occur when a man becomes a father. We discuss topics ranging from why your testosterone drops as a man during childbirth, the main roles of fathers in a child's life, and how different cultures treat fatherhood.
