<p>In <strong>Season 6, Episode 1 of The Excalibur Podcast</strong>, Kyle Brookes sits down with <strong>Craig Alsup</strong>—Texas-based serial entrepreneur and leader with <strong>Manna Worldwide</strong>, a nonprofit serving children across <strong>nearly 50 countries</strong>through nutrition, education, spiritual care, anti-trafficking initiatives, and long-term development projects.This isn’t a “feel good” episode.It’s a <strong>wake-up call</strong> for men who know they’re built for more—but keep circling the same small life because they’re waiting to feel ready.Craig’s story starts like a lot of ambitious men: big dreams, big goals, a vision of becoming “the next Tony Robbins.” But in 2008, during an around-the-world backpacking trip with his wife, he witnessed something that shattered his old worldview—<strong>a deal being brokered to purchase children for sex trafficking</strong>.He couldn’t save those kids.And that pain didn’t disappear.But instead of letting it turn into bitterness, Craig made a decision that defines the entire episode:<strong>Purpose over pain. Service over self. Action over paralysis.</strong>A few months later in Nepal, Craig and his wife met two children—<strong>Sagar and Asha</strong>—and what began as sponsorship became family. That single step snowballed into a life mission that now impacts <strong>20,000 kids every day</strong>through Manna Worldwide’s global network of projects.What you’ll take from this episode:</p><ul><li>How Craig’s purpose was forged through a moment that would break most people</li><li>Why purpose isn’t “found” in a journal—it’s revealed through <strong>movement and responsibility</strong></li><li>The difference between consuming slogans and becoming a <strong>do-something man</strong></li><li>Why most people never start: they obsess over the end goal instead of the next step</li><li>How mission grows: <strong>money → heart → conversation → community → systems → impact</strong></li><li>Craig’s simple formula: <strong>connect what you want with what other people need</strong></li><li>The truth: action orientation beats knowledge, skill, and “being ready”</li></ul><ul><li>Website: <strong>mannaworldwide.com</strong></li><li>Email: <a href="mailto:c.alsup@mannaworldwide.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">c.alsup@mannaworldwide.com</a></li><li>Craig also leads mission teams, speaks in churches and business conferences, and helps people clarify purpose through service.</li></ul><p>This episode is for the man who says he wants to make a difference—then realizes he’s been waiting for permission.You don’t need permission.You need momentum.Connect with Craig / Manna WorldwideIf you’ve been stuck in your head… this is your reminder:<strong>Open your eyes. Do something. Let it snowball.</strong></p>

<p>In <strong>Season 5, Episode 12 of The Excalibur Podcast</strong>, Kyle Brookes sits down with a man who lives what most men only post about: <strong>Big Mike Johnson</strong>.Mike isn’t just “disciplined.” He was forged in a world where discipline is non-negotiable.He’s a <strong>Big Ten swimmer</strong>, <strong>NCAA All-American</strong>, and a <strong>two-time Olympic team alternate</strong> who trained like a professional before most kids even know what consistency is—<strong>30 hours a week in the pool at 12–13 years old</strong>, waking up before dawn, learning the hard way that life doesn’t care about your feelings.Now he’s also a <strong>serial entrepreneur</strong> building real-world companies—construction, plumbing, and home automation—while still operating on the same principle that made him elite in sport:<strong>Small steps. Every day. No drift. No excuses.</strong>What this episode hits hard on:</p><ul><li>How swimming forced Mike to become organized (not “motivated”—organized)</li><li>Why discipline is built through <strong>systems and culture</strong>, not hype</li><li>The truth about modern men: we’re “busy,” but not progressing</li><li>Why the gym isn’t vanity—it’s <strong>therapy</strong> and emotional control</li><li>The real power of brotherhood: one man saying, “Let’s go,” can change your life</li><li>Why most men fail by <strong>drifting one degree at a time</strong>, not by one big mistake</li><li>Mike’s most practical advice for any man stuck right now: <strong>slow down, identify the real problem, rebuild the foundation, then move</strong></li></ul><ul><li><strong>Hawkeye Construction LLC</strong>: hawkeyeconstructionllc.com (site being rebuilt)</li><li><strong>Facebook</strong>: Hawkeye Construction (Needville, Texas)</li><li>New branches coming: <strong>Hawkeye Plumbing</strong> + <strong>Hawkeye Automation</strong> (smart home / AI-style home systems)</li></ul><p>And then it gets deeper.Mike opens up about the kind of adversity that puts you in a “club” nobody wants to join—and why freezing is the most dangerous response a man can have. He explains how he keeps moving forward: not with fake positivity, but with <strong>pillars</strong>—fitness, faith, family, fellowship, finances, and purpose—because when one pillar cracks, the rest have to carry the load.This episode is a reminder that <strong>nothing worth having is easy</strong>… and the life you want won’t be built by intensity. It will be built by <strong>consistency</strong>.Connect with Mike / Hawkeye:If you’re a man who feels behind, overwhelmed, or scattered—this episode gives you the reset:<strong>Slow down. Get honest. Fix the foundation. Then execute.</strong></p>

<p>n this episode of <strong>The Excalibur Podcast</strong>, Kyle Brookes sits down with returning guest and brother-in-arms <strong>Eric Vance</strong> for one of the rawest conversations of the season.Eric doesn’t come with a highlight reel. He comes with a war story.In 2025, Eric faced what he calls <strong>“The Three D’s”</strong>: <strong>diabetes, death, and divorce</strong>—all in the same year. Most men get taken out by one. Eric had to fight through all three… while still showing up for work, rebuilding his body, and learning what it actually means to lead at home.This episode isn’t about motivation. It’s about <strong>ownership</strong>.<br>It’s about the “free stuff” men forget—presence, attention, listening, and leadership—until it’s almost too late.What you’ll hear in this episode:</p><ul><li>Eric’s wake-up call moment: discovering dangerously high blood sugar and deciding to change everything</li><li>How he normalized his health through <strong>discipline, training, and nutrition</strong> (no excuses, no shortcuts)</li><li>The near-death pneumonia experience that forced him to re-evaluate what actually matters</li><li>The hard truth about marriage: how “providing” isn’t the same as being present</li><li>Why most men drift slowly—not suddenly—and how to correct course before you crash</li><li>The power of brotherhood, environment, and having someone who tells you the truth</li><li>The Excalibur principle that saved him: <strong>Show up — fully present — even when you’re struggling</strong></li></ul><p>Eric also drops the kind of perspective that hits you in the chest: if you’re fighting for your health, your family, your faith, your future—<strong>you don’t need perfection. You need consistency.</strong>Because nothing changes until you do.Where to find Eric:Instagram: <strong>@eric.vance</strong> (Eric dot Vance)If you’re a man carrying pressure in silence… if your health is slipping… if your marriage is strained… if you feel like you’re drifting—this episode is your reminder:<strong>You can rebuild. But you have to show up.</strong></p>
