#13 - Fine Smokeables And The Brothers Of The White Ash 1:02:11

6+ y ago1:02:11

1:02:11

Fraternalism comes in many forms. Masons often love to enjoy the company of their brothers over a good cigar. Some, so much so, that they even made a club for it. Isn't a cigar a cigar? Say that to Right Worshipful Mike Douglas and you'll get a thorough education on how that is very much NOT the case. Premium hand-rolled cigars are very different f…

43:54

It's all about perspective. Often Grand Masters are looked at as if on a pedestal. Surprisingly enough - they're actually real people, and today we get to know a special one. What's So Special About Massachusetts? Though other Grand Lodges may try to contest it, the Grand Lodge of Masons in Massachusetts is generally accepted to be the oldest chart…

#11 - Open Houses, One Day Classes, And... Advertising? 52:46

6+ y ago52:46

52:46

Recruitment is practically taboo in Masonry. How can a man find it in his heart to be one of us... If he doesn't know we exist? Maybe it's time to rethink this... It should be about the betterment of The Craft. There are so awful lot of strong feelings on how best to approach Freemasonry's elephant in the room - membership. There's no arguing with …

#100 - Fitness - The Journey To A Better Life. 49:16

6+ y ago49:16

49:16

We've been talking about "fitness" wrong. There's more to fitness than working out and eating "right". We need to look at a more complete picture, and adjust our understanding and approach. Physical health is just one part of "fitness". Whenever you hear about fitness, the only things that tend to be talked about are working out and eating right. W…

Yes, I know. You were probably expecting this upload to be Episode 100, weren't you? Well - it's not. Instead, I'm here to tell you WHY, a hint of what's coming, and a special preview of our special something else.

Millennials get a bad rap. Much of it is overblown, but there ARE unique challenges we face. Darrell & Megan are here to share them... by sharing their lives.

#10 - How To Be The MOST Worshipful Grand Master (Part 2) 55:58

6+ y ago55:58

55:58

Yes, Grand Masters have controversial opinions. Usually, we don't get to hear them. Today, we do. Buckle up. Those in power must watch their tongue. It can be almost dangerous for someone in a high office to share controversial opinions. We see this in politics, civil & charitable organizations, and of course, social & fraternal bodies like ours. I…

#9 - How To Be The MOST Worshipful Grand Master (Part 1) 56:05

6+ y ago56:05

56:05

What's it take to be Grand Master? Well, we asked an ACTUAL Grand Master (and Grand Marshal) exactly that. Their answers, insights, and opinions may surprise you. The reality is - there's a lot to it. Many Masons may view the Grand Master as the absolute power and authority of a given Masonic Jurisdiction. Others may view him as a roadblock to prog…

#98 - How To Know If You're Training Or Just Working Out 51:25

6+ y ago51:25

51:25

Reaching a goal isn't as easy as "go work out". Unfortunately, most people seem to think it is. What's so bad about "working out", though? Why do I need to be "training"?

#97 - Adventure, Hydration, And A Culture Of Care 1:02:59

6+ y ago1:02:59

1:02:59

Sometimes the best things happen by accident. Sometimes an idea develops into something you weren't expecting. That's what happened with this podcast episode. It's also what happened with Orange Mud and their hydration products. In chatting with Josh Sprague (Founder & CEO of Orange Mud) I learned all about his adventures, hydration on the trail, a…

#96 - Mollie Tibbetts, Safety, And "What Do We Do Now?" 36:10

7y ago36:10

36:10

Another tragedy we didn't need. Some news hit yesterday that rocked a small town, and runners everywhere, to their core. Who is Mollie Tibbetts, what happened, and how do we move forward... and stay safe? There are few things worse than a life cut short. Mollie Tibbetts was by all accounts a wonderful person. She was 20 years old, enjoying summer b…

#8 - A 3rd Answer To The "Engagement" Debate. 1:04:12

7y ago1:04:12

1:04:12

We're doing it wrong. One of the biggest issues in Masonry is (and has been for a long time) "how do we keep our brothers engaged?". Brothers - we have been doing it wrong for a long time. This week, Bryan and Darrell talk about a 3rd way - so we can finally get this right. We raise them, they drop us. It's a song as old as time - a candidate goes …

#95 - Oppressive Heat and Humidity - And How To Survive It 42:08

7y ago42:08

42:08

There's "hot", and there's "dangerous hot". Sure - you understand how to deal with "hot" weather with your outdoor activity. How do you know, though, when it's TOO hot? What does humidity do to things? How do you read the signs, and how do you stay safe? We do this dance every summer. Just about every fitness blog out there writes a "summer fitness…

#94 - What Really Matters? If You Want It Bad Enough... 35:02

7y ago35:02

35:02

Nobody said it was going to be easy. Whatever you're after, it's going to have its challenges. They say "if you want it bad enough you'll find a way". What happens, though, when you find you haven't been wanting it as bad as you thought? My priorities have been off. See - I was one of those people that THOUGHT he knew how bad he wanted a thing, and…

#7 - The Happy Marriage Of Ezekiel Bates and St. James 51:02

7y ago51:02

51:02

What if they're wrong? Many Masons think of mergers as the death of a lodge - but what if they're wrong? Death... or a new beginning? There are many ways for a Lodge to come to its end. The important thing to consider here is that not every end is final. Sometimes the end of one thing is simply the beginning of another. Bros Darrell and Bryan are f…

#93 - Understanding How To Keep Your Heart Strong And Healthy 46:32

7y ago46:32

46:32

We aren't doing enough. What is heart disease, is "cardio" really treadmills and bikes, and how does it all work together? The answer may surprise you. "Cardio" isn't what you think... We have this idea that "cardio" is running and cycling. That it's treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals. When we think of fitness we think "cardio" and "weights". Good …

#92 - The Problem With Free, Cheap, And No Commitment Fitness 49:37

7y ago49:37

49:37

Free and cheap isn't always good. Free and cheap fitness is always an attractive option, but there's a major downside to it that most people don't often consider. What have you got to lose? We have, somehow, been conditioned to look for the cheapest thing when we're embarking on a fitness journey. The more stuff you'll give us, the bigger the gym, …

#6 - Family, Lineage, And The Masonic Bond Of Brotherhood 37:58

7y ago37:58

37:58

The bonds of brotherhood run deep. We join Freemasonry for many reasons - one of which is brotherhood and fraternalism. What do those bonds really mean? Blood and water... They say blood is thicker than water, so one might be inclined to wonder how strong a "fraternal bond" between men in an organization like Freemasonry could really be. To an outs…

#91 - Is Your Brain Constantly Undermining Your Efforts 39:59

7y ago39:59

39:59

The list of obstacles never shrinks. If it's not one thing, it's another. Now, it seems, our own brains are working against us in our health & fitness efforts. But how, exactly? And how do we fight back? No, friend - you are mistaken. Health and fitness is always, it seems, harder than it has to be. If it's not one thing working against us, so we b…

#90 - My First 50K, And How To Define "Crazy". 40:31

7y ago40:31

40:31

"Oh wow - that's crazy!" When we do things that aren't "normal", people don't know what to make of it. But... why is "normal"... normal? We understand how the world works. Every day we go about our lives with a certain understanding of how things are. We know what to expect. How things are typically going to go. What we can and can't do - should an…
