This week, we’re redefining strength—and no, we’re not talking about deadlifts or chest-thumping speeches. We’re talking about the real stuff: the parents who keep going, the teachers who show up, the vets who mentor, and the tradespeople who build the world around us (often before most of us have had coffee).
We’ll even teach you how to make a proper peanut butter and jelly sandwich—because strength is a lot like that. You’ve got to put peanut butter on both slices of bread to hold the jelly in. That’s what family, community, and consistency do—they hold the messy stuff together.
Episode 51: Redefining Strength: The Quiet Force Holding Us Together
So tune in, laugh a little, think a lot, and maybe even shout out your favorite local legend. Because this country isn’t held up by noise—it’s held up by the quiet, sticky strength of people who show up.
