This one's for the builders. Brendan Quinlan started knocking doors nearly two decades ago, before iPads, before online training, before it was “cool.” He spent 13 years actively knocking, built his first team from the ground up in Florida, and got laughed out of every pest control office in Canada when he tried to bring D2D to his home country. Fast forward to today, and Brendan leads over 500 reps, operates in multiple Canadian cities, and just launched a new international team in Melbourne, Australia. His company now owns both the marketing and fulfillment side, making them the largest residential pest control provider in Canada, all launched in just a few short years. Oh, and now they're training reps to knock year-round by flipping seasons between hemispheres.

This week's we're xamining the surprising return of beef tallow as a popular ingredient in cooking and wellness and contrasting its health concerns against vegetable oils. Is this trend driven by scientific evidence or a preference for "ancestral" and "natural" practices over established public health guidelines? There's been a historical shift away from saturated fats like tallow due to concerns about heart disease, noting that the science on the risks of high saturated fat intake remains consistent despite contradictory social media narratives. We're also creating parallels between the comeback of tallow and that of raw milk. How much are these trends fueled by a desire for perceived traditional authenticity rather than proven safety or nutritional benefits? Listen to find out.

Masculinity is under attack, and Kaylor Betts isn't afraid to say it. In this explosive episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor sits down with Adam Allred—an outspoken advocate for traditional masculinity, personal accountability, and self-mastery. Adam is a husband and father of four (trying for more), an entrepreneur with a specialized focus in D2D marketing, and the founder of a social movement dedicated to “making men great again.” Together, they break down the war against strong men, the rise of weak, passive males, and why society is crumbling under the weight of failed leadership and radical ideology.   From dissecting the myth of “toxic masculinity” to exposing how feminism was hijacked to break down the traditional family, this episode pulls no punches. Adam argues that every broken woman can trace her wounds back to a man who failed to lead, while Kaylor lays out exactly why men are lost in today's world—distracted by comfort, addicted to numbing vices, and terrified to embrace their true nature. If you've ever felt like something is off in society—like men are being encouraged to be soft, aimless, and weak—this episode is your wake-up call. Strap in, because Kaylor and Adam are here to make men great again.     Episode Highlights: masculinity, feminism, toxic masculinity, leadership, strong men, weak men, the attack on masculinity, traditional values, modern feminism, men's mental health, adversity, self-respect       Takeaways:   Masculinity is about imposing order, but it must be done for good Society has demonized strong, healthy masculinity and promoted weakness Feminism was hijacked to destroy both men and traditional femininity Strong men create strong families, and weak men create broken societies Adversity is essential—men must do hard things to grow Comfort is the enemy of masculinity; avoid porn, booze, and social media numbing Take responsibility—everything in your life is your fault, and that's a good thing     If you enjoyed the episode, please be sure to take a screenshot and share it out on Instagram and tag @thekaylorbetts.
