| 6/22/26 | ![]() Threading the Needle | In this vulnerable episode of The Beard Winner Podcast, Darin explores the difficult balance between anxiety, depression, productivity, and the pressure we place on ourselves to have everything figured out.Anxiety often lives in the future—worrying about what could happen, whether we're doing enough, and what lies ahead. Depression frequently keeps us rooted in the past—replaying mistakes, regrets, and moments we wish we could change. So how do we thread the needle between the two?This episode dives into the challenge of staying productive and motivated without overloading ourselves to the point of burnout and anxiety. Darin shares honest reflections on mental health, finding balance, and giving ourselves permission to move forward one step at a time.With Father's Day serving as a backdrop, the conversation also explores the quiet weight many fathers carry: Have I done enough? Will my children remember my mistakes or my love? Is the work, sacrifice, and presence we give our families enough to prepare them for life?Whether you're navigating anxiety about the future, struggling with regrets from the past, balancing responsibilities, or simply trying to stay motivated without becoming overwhelmed, this episode offers encouragement, perspective, and hope.Topics discussed:• Men's mental health• Anxiety and fear of the future• Depression and dwelling on the past• Productivity without burnout• Father's Day reflections• Parenting and legacy• Finding balance in everyday life• Staying motivated without becoming overwhelmedThe Beard Winner Podcast is a show about men's mental health, resilience, personal growth, and finding positivity through life's challenges.#MentalHealth #MensMentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #Fatherhood #PersonalGrowth #Productivity #MentalWellness #TheBeardWinnerPodcast | — | ||||||

| 1/19/26 | ![]() Where Does Time Go? | 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. | — | ||||||
| 10/24/25 | ![]() Don't Let Spooky Season Scare Away Growth | 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. | — | ||||||
| 8/20/25 | ![]() Small Changes to Transform Your Life | In this episode of the Beard Winner Podcast, we reflect on the end of summer and explore simple ways to improve your life, relationships, and daily interactions. Inspired by Dale Carnegie’s timeless principles, discover one actionable change that can create a big impact. | — | ||||||
| 6/30/25 | ![]() The Fire Inside Our Hearts | 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. | — | ||||||
| 6/9/25 | ![]() A Homage to the Memories | 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. | — | ||||||
| 5/5/25 | ![]() Turn the Page, Burn the Excuses | 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! | — | ||||||

| 9/11/20 | Change Your Scenery | Thank you for your patience waiting for this episode to drop. I just got back from Colorado not too long ago and have been trying to bounce back from feeling a bit under the weather. This episode talks about my recent adventure to Colorado with my father and the importance of getting out of the house and unplugging. We all need to recharge our internal batteries and what better way to do it than visit mountains, the ocean, or a large body of water. Things have changed when traveling and I discuss about how hotels are now a little different than what we were used to prior to the pandemic, but do not let that scare you away. They are taking precautions and are welcoming travelers looking to scratch the get out and explore itch.

| 8/27/20 | Spirits Behind the Pursuit w/ Kenny Coleman | This episode features a pioneer in the podcasting and blogging side of the Bourbon Industry. Yes, there are other bourbon podcasts out there, but Kenny and Ryan from The Bourbon Pursuit Podcast really caught my attention when I was hunting for bourbon back in 2016. In this installment of the podcast I am fortunate enough to sit down with Kenny Coleman and discuss how his podcast came into being the entertaining and informative must listen to on any bourbon enthusiasts lists. Tune in to find out how Kenny and his business partner and friend Ryan have taken it a step further by creating their own expressions under their NDP label Pursuit Spirits. These are artisan whiskeys hand picked by this knowledgeable duo and when it is gone it is gone. I have their Episode 28 Bourbon its way to try and I will be sure to let you all know what I think of it on my social media. Cheers!
