We talk to J.D. about his journey in paying off $35,000 worth of consumer debt, what personal finacne books inspired him to get his money in control, and what money problems are unique to men.

Thanks J.D. for speaking with us!

We talk about some of the badasses from history that Ben highlights in his book.

Oh, and as you can imagine, we say badass alot in the interview, so if that sort of thing bothers you, you should probably skip this episode.

You can buy Walker’s book at Amazon.com and make sure to check out his blog that inspired the book, 1001 Rules for My Unborn Son.

Editor’s Note: I had some problems with the sound on this episode. I apologize for the quality. I hope to have the recording problem remedied next week.

Man Stories with Dan Lauth

When asked how his father influenced his idea of manliness, Dan says that his father’s work ethic taught him the importance of providing for your family. Dan also says Theodore Roosevelt has had a huge influence on his idea of manliness and he spends his time reading biographies about TR. Dan recommends Theodore Rex. Dan discusses when he felt like he became a man. Part of it involves snaring, cleaning, and cooking a rabbit in the outdoors. Listen to more of Dan’s Man Story.
