Welcome back to Campfire Convos!This week I’m joined by my friend Brannon “Pate”, a TikTok creator with over 350,000 followers who’s been using his platform to spark honest conversations about men’s mental health, resilience, and keeping it real.We talk about everything from moving back home and starting over, to TikTok going viral, heartbreak, and faith. Around the fire we share laughs, heavy truths, and a few beers — including Brew Bank’s Andy Shandygaff.We’re sitting in CLIQ Chair ClassiQ 2.0s, around the Solo Stove Ranger 2, and finishing with a toast of Elijah Craig. Grab a drink and join us.🌲 Support the Show🔥 Buy us a log to keep the fire burning: https://ko-fi.com/meanderin_mitch🤝 Join the Patreon for early access & more: https://patreon.com/meanderin_mitch🎧 Listen everywhere via Linktree: https://linktr.ee/CampfireConvos📬 Be Part of the ShowWant to be on the podcast, sponsor, or connect?📧 Email: meanderinmitch@gmail.com📝 Apply here: https://forms.gle/U9aXSoKrJ2Rm2y4r9📱 Follow Meanderin’ Mitch & Campfire Convos• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meanderin_mitch/• TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meanderin_mitch• Lemon8: https://www.lemon8-app.com/meanderin_mitch• Media Business IG: https://www.instagram.com/highfrequency_media/• Podcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@campfireconvos🍻 Featured In This Episode• Solo Stove Ranger 2: https://www.solostove.com• CLIQ Chair ClassiQ 2.0: https://cliqproducts.com• Brew Bank (Andy Shandygaff): https://www.facebook.com/brewbankridgway• Elijah Craig Bourbon: https://elijahcraig.com🗣️ In This Episode– Why being real matters more than being trendy online– Lessons from heartbreak, moving back home, and starting over– The power of talking about men’s mental health– How faith, vulnerability, and resilience shape our lives– Viral TikTok moments & building community online– Lifting each other up instead of tearing each other down⏱️ Chapters00:00 – Campfire Kickoff & Beers by the Fire05:35 – Catching Up & Starting Over After Moving Back Home12:15 – TikTok Growth, Viral Moments & Real Conversations21:10 – Mental Health, Vulnerability & Men’s Struggles29:55 – Faith, Values & Learning Through Hard Times38:40 – Friendship, Coaching Stories & Getting Older47:00 – Breakups, Love & Picking Yourself Back Up01:04:45 – Advice for Men Struggling With Mental Health01:16:00 – Shotgun Finale & Outro Toast
