Stuck in traffic, Jesse French and Chris Bruno find themselves in an impromptu driving school deep in the mountains—complete with snark, humor, and life lessons. From the art of parallel parking to the non-negotiable skill of driving a manual, Chris lays out his four tenets of responsible driving (and maybe life itself). Along the way, they explore the unexpected connection between making decisions and embracing the reality that every choice requires saying no to something. As frustration mounts and patience is tested, the conversation shifts to the deeper meaning of ownership—whether it’s behind the wheel or in everyday life. So buckle up for a hilarious, thought-provoking ride through standstill traffic and the choices that shape us.

Chris Bruno and Jesse French take the podcast on the road...literally! Stuck in Colorado traffic at a blistering 6 miles per hour, they pass the time debating Apple vs. Android, reminiscing about childhood road trips, and questioning Jesse’s choice of route. Between laughter, lighthearted jabs, and a plea for highway patrol intervention, they find meaning in the slow moments of life. Will Jesse ever admit defeat in the great phone debate?

Many men build their lives around performance—measuring their worth by what they achieve rather than who they are. In this episode, Jesse French and Cody Buriff sit down with Shae McCowen, the chairman of the board at Restoration Project, to unpack the hidden costs of striving. Shae shares his journey from being a skeptical participant at his first Restoration Project gathering to discovering the power of authenticity, brotherhood, and self-awareness. Through laughter, deep reflection, and a few wild stories from early retreats, we explore how men can step out of the performance trap and into something richer.
