  • Where Does Time Go?

    Where Does Time Go?
    Jan 19 2026

    The remainder of Fall and the Holidays passed by so swiftly, it makes it hard to not have your head spinning by the time confetti canons and fireworks go off accompanied by Happy New Year.

    We cannot slow things down. We do our best to enjoy and savor the moments. Life just has a way of moving forward at its own clip. Whimsical with how long it is perceived to pass by. It can drag when waiting, but gone in an instant when reflecting upon it.

    In this episode, I reflect upon the time that has elapsed and the events that unfolded since we last talked. Lessons were learned to love harder, continue making memories, keep your loved ones close, and let a higher power be in control.

  • Don't Let Spooky Season Scare Away Growth

    Don't Let Spooky Season Scare Away Growth
    Oct 24 2025
    Summer is behind us and fall is fully here—leaves are turning, crops are cut, and spooky season is in full swing. In this episode, I reflect on how the changing seasons can mirror our own opportunities for growth. While it’s tempting to settle into comfort and cozy routines, this time of year can also serve as a powerful reminder: change is always on the horizon. Do we get comfortable and coast? Sure—if that’s what we truly need. But if we feel the itch to grow, reflect, or shift direction, now is the time. Don’t let the eerie winds of October scare you into stagnation.

  • The Fire Inside Our Hearts

    The Fire Inside Our Hearts
    Jun 30 2025
    In this heartfelt pre–Fourth of July episode, I pick up where Homage to the Memories left off—shifting from quiet remembrance to fireworks, fire pits, and fleeting moments of celebration.' I talk about making the most of June—traveling to Decorah, Iowa with my girlfriend, grilling out, sitting around the fire, and soaking in the early summer before it slips away. The Fourth always feels like a peak... and a turning point. It’s a moment of joy, but also a reminder that seasons shift quickly. I reflect on freedom—both as a national value and a deeply personal journey—and share how I plan to celebrate this year across three days of fireworks, music, and meaning. I also explore how we can hold onto the sparks that matter, even when the sky goes dark. If you're someone who feels a little nostalgic during the loudest week of the summer, this one’s for you.

    A Homage to the Memories
    Jun 9 2025
    In this reflective episode of The Beard Winner Podcast, Darin takes a heartfelt pause to honor the moments, memories, and milestones that shape us. From celebrating the quiet strength of mothers, to honoring the legacy of those no longer with us on Memorial Day, to reflecting on fatherhood in all its forms — this episode is a slow, steady walk through the emotional beats of late spring and early summer. With Father’s Day approaching and America’s birthday on the horizon, Darin explores what it means to remember, to feel, and to grow. This isn’t about hustle — it’s about heart. Tune in for a tribute to the people we’ve loved, the lessons we carry, and the freedom to become who we’re meant to be.

    Turn the Page, Burn the Excuses
    May 5 2025
    In this episode of The Beard Winner, I return to the mic after some time away to catch you up on what’s been going on—and how focusing on mental health helped me navigate some of the toughest times of my life. I talk candidly about adversity, resilience, and the importance of letting your story fuel your growth instead of define your limits. You'll also hear about what’s coming next: thoughts on the state of the craft beer industry (and a possible future guest), upcoming goalsfor 2025–2026, and a renewed commitment to action over intention. If you’ve ever struggled with setbacks, burnout, or doubt—this episode is for you. Let’s stop talking about what we’re going to do. Let’s talk about what we did!
