What happens when men start reading again? It is a question we should consider answering. Men are reading less than ever, and it's not just a problem of attention. It's a crisis of thought, discipline, and direction. Welcome to Coffee Break Tuesday! In this video, we explore how books build men and why reading matters now more than ever. Join me on this epic journey to reclaim the mind of man!

Hope you enjoy the video!

Has a book ever reshaped how you view the world? Sometimes books can hold the power to do just that. Deep reading can lead you down an Odyssey that you might not be ready for. But you will grow in the process, just like Odysseus. I hope you enjoy this episode!

I have put the coffee business on hold for now. It has been a truly educational experience, but it is time to refocus on the family and plan out the next phase for the channel. My goals of creating a community around great coffee and excellent books will continue, but just in a different direction for now. I have truly enjoyed the community that has formed here, and I would like to interact more than I currently do. Hopefully, taking the coffee roasting business off my plate will allow me to focus more on growing the community that is developing here. Thanks so much for all the support!

I love you all and stay blessed!

You are in for a treat!

The Road to Serfdom is a marvelous book that helps explain the impacts of collectivism and individualism colliding. The results are often division, conflict, and war. Have we followed any of Friedrich Hayek's advice? The end of truth is upon us, and the age of resentment has arrived. Without the foundations of morality that sustain our culture, I fear we can no longer continue to build but will inevitably start to tear down. I hope you enjoy The Road to Serfdom by Friedrich Hayek.

Western Civilization was once the center of faith, philosophy, and freedom, which it inherited from its ancient neighbors. From the cathedrals of Europe to the wisdom of Greece and Rome, Western civilization gave the world meaning, order, and hope. But today, that inheritance is crumbling. Empty churches, forgotten books, broken families, and a culture drowning in distraction all point to the same reality.

The breaking of the Western mind.

In this podcast, we discuss the downfall of Western civilization, how it began, why it matters, and what it means for our future. In this video, we draw on history, philosophy, and literature, and we’ll uncover how the West went from strength to collapse, and why recovering our identity may be the only path forward.

Hope you enjoy the podcast!
