This week we're outlining our new direction for the podcast, we're Adjusting Fire. Starting today, the Hard Times Strong Men crew will be on leave for one month while we lay out a curriculum, restructure our content development process, make everything a little bit better, and take a breather. We've been running a strenuous publishing schedule for 141 episodes, and we need a change. So, starting next month, we will be on a reduced episode tempo, but, with that reduced tempo come some pretty amazing changes. With each episode you will also have access to that episode's show notes, as well as a dedicated downloadable pdf guide for that episode. This allows us to SHOW you what we're talking about, in real time with the episode. We're also using this time to nail down a for-real-life curriculum to keep us grounded, and give y'all the best possible content that we can. We can't wait to talk with y'all again and share everything we've been working on in March, but until then, Stay In The Fight. ‐-----------------------------‐------------------------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon!Join us on Discord!Check out our link in bio!https://linktr.ee/hardtimesstrongmenThe world is better with you in it.
