The Last Easy Mile Podcast
To create a space for honest, unfiltered conversations with people who’ve taken the hard path—through failure, reinvention, adversity, or personal awakening—in order to pursue the life they were truly meant to live. We explore the messy, meaningful last miles of transformation, growth, and courage, grounded in traditional values, to inspire men to step confidently into their roles as leaders in their families, communities, and personal lives. Laid-back, honest, and philosophically raw—imagine two friends sharing hard-won wisdom over a drink. From reclaiming your wild side to leading your family through adversity, this podcast offers real conversations, relatable struggles, and practical inspiration to build a life of action and meaning.

The Last Easy Mile Podcast

There comes a point—somewhere in your 30s, 40s, or 50s—when life is no longer about proving yourself. You’ve built, provided, and shown up. From the outside, it all looks solid.

But inside, something feels… quiet.
Not broken. Not in crisis. Just paused.

This podcast is about re-engaging with what stirs you.
Not through reinvention—but through reconnection.

Reconnection to curiosity.
To challenge.
To creativity.
To the parts of yourself that didn’t vanish—they just got buried under responsibility.

Each episode is designed to open a door.
You’ll hear interviews with people who’ve lived what they teach—experts, guides, and builders across fields like physical challenge, mindset, fatherhood, skills, and purpose.
We’re not chasing trends—we’re starting grounded conversations meant to stir something useful, lasting, and real.

Because sometimes the next chapter isn’t about doing more.
It’s about choosing better.
It’s about learning to live more deliberately.
