You're listening to the Hard Men Podcast, reclaiming biblical masculinity in a world of

softness.

Welcome to this episode of the Hard Men Podcast. I am your host Eric Khan.

And in this episode we're going to be talking about Rory Groves book titled Durable Trades Family

Centered Economies that have stood the test of time.

and its author a few weeks ago.

Before then, I didn't know anything about Rory

exploding with joy as I as I read through this. So I want to do a couple things. I'm
