The Way Forward Is the Way Back: Rick Seigmund on Protecting Your Family, Homes, and Craft

Dela

Rick Seigmund spent two decades on the front lines of federal law enforcement fighting human trafficking and online predation — and came home with a message most men aren't ready to hear. Now a woodworker, finish carpenter, and founder of the Family Readiness Project, Rick joins Jason to connect what might seem like two very different callings: building something permanent, and protecting something priceless. 

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • How an engaged, present father is the single greatest deterrent to online predators and groomers
  • The tactics of online predators operating through gaming platforms, and what fathers need to know about the openly Satanic 764 group
  • Why building trust and honest communication with your sons before the storm is the only real family readiness that matters
  • The "enshittification" of the American home, what reclaiming craft actually looks like, and why the way forward is the way back
  • Why historic wood windows outperform every modern replacement — and the class-action lawsuits that prove the industry lied
