Mike Rowe — host of Dirty Jobs and founder of the mikeroweWORKS Foundation — joins me to talk about the loneliness epidemic, the generational lie that success requires a four-year college degree, and why we need to start encouraging young people to pursue the trades before we lose the skills that keep this country running.

Today's guest is Alisa Childers — author, Christian apologist, former member of ZOEgirl, and host of The Alisa Childers Podcast.

Wife School continues — and today's professor is about to become my sister-in-law. 👯‍♀️ Katie Voetberg married a Voetberg son before I did, so she's graciously agreed to give me a little training before I officially join the family.

He helped sell America's biggest cereal brands, then had a daughter and couldn't bring himself to feed her any of it. Today's guest is Parker Brook, founder of Lovebird Foods and a former insider at General Mills. He argues the food he was putting on family tables was engineered for profit, not health — and that most "healthy" labels are marketing, not nutrition. We talk about what really happens

Homeschooling should be a pre-marriage conversation and almost nobody treats it like one. Today's guest is Mandy Davis — author of The Homeschool Bible, former school principal, and a leading voice helping parents take back authority over their children's education. She argues this decision shouldn't wait until your child turns five; it belongs in the conversation long before you say "I do." We ta
