Ironworks Podcast
Acie and Steve are two guys who, through twenty years of friendship, have accumulated a quiver full of funny stories, pursued a range of outdoor activities, and pushed each other to be better men. A very accomplished cyclist competing in mountain, gravel, and road race events, Acie brings a wealth of knowledge about training, equipment, and the ability to suffer well. Steve enjoys the backcountry in a variety of ways. Much more relaxed about fitness and training, he still regularly trains for his mountaineering and alpine objectives on the trails near the New River Gorge National Park. His analytical personality, and frequent trips into the backcountry have given him the opportunity to test an endless array and combination of gear and find a balance that allow him to stay fit and still fulfill all of his other responsibilities. We hope to pass these hard-won lessons on in the Ironworks.

The Yearbook Episodes: Finding Real Joy from Some Hard-Earned Wisdom--Our Forties
Episode 17 is a great look at the guys in the past decade leading up to present. Acie has a great quote right out of the gate, "I stopped chasing happiness, and started living with joy." This episode bounces back and forth from a reflection of their forties to a volume of life experience and wisdom that was four decades in the making. As the guys take us through the past ten years they hit most, if not all, of the areas most men find important. Marriage, career, children, recreation, and coming to grips with the most formidable of all foes-themselves.
