Summary

Faith, Family, and Building an Unshakable Legacy What’s the secret to building a family, a business, and a life that actually lasts? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Willie and Korie Robertson—founders of the Duck Dynasty legacy and one of the most faith-driven families in America—to talk about what it really takes to stay grounded in success, marriage, and purpose. You’ve seen the fame, the show, and the empire, but today you’re going to hear the heart behind it all—the values, struggles, and faith that have held it together. Willie and Korie open up about what it’s like to build a business as a family and why their faith has always been the cornerstone of everything they do. We get real about what it means to raise kids with character in a culture that’s lost its way, and why success without strong values will never be sustainable. They share how fame tested their foundation, how they stayed united through challenges, and why keeping God at the center of every decision changed everything. We also talk about marriage—the hard parts, not just the highlight reel. Willie and Korie reveal how they’ve navigated seasons of conflict, learned to communicate through differences, and kept their relationship alive in the middle of raising a big family and running multiple businesses. There’s real wisdom here on what it takes to build a marriage that’s unshakable, not because it’s perfect, but because it’s rooted in grace and growth. This conversation isn’t just about Duck Dynasty—it’s about what it means to lead with conviction, love deeply, and leave a legacy that outlives you. Whether you’re building a business, leading a family, or trying to figure out your next chapter, this episode is a masterclass on faith, vision, and perseverance. The Robertsons remind us that you can have both success and peace if you’re willing to build on the right foundation. Key Takeaways: Why faith is the cornerstone of the Robertson family’s success How to stay grounded when fame and pressure hit The keys to building a marriage that lasts through every season What it takes to raise strong, values-driven kids in today’s world How to build a business and a legacy that honor God and serve others If you’ve ever wondered how to build something that truly matters—something that lasts beyond the spotlight—this conversation will show you the way. — Max Out Also don’t miss out on MAXOUT2026: Once a year, I open my home for an intimate one-day experience unlike anything else I do.

0:00.0	Hey guys, it's Ed. I rarely do this. As you know, 99.9% of my content is free, but once a year, I do something where I gather a very small group of people in my house. I've done it for two years in a row now, and I'm going to do it again this year. If you go to Maxout 2026.com, I'm going to do an experience in my home where I'm going to take you through how to make 2026 the best year of your life, all of the tactics and strategies that I use to plan and organize my own life in detail. Same time, all of the mental rehearsal and visualization techniques that people pay me hundreds and millions of dollars a year to teach them. I will be teaching that day as well. And the other years I've done it, I've had groups of about 25 or 30. I've
