In this episode of the NFM Podcast, hosts Abby Miranda and Collin Schoen sit down with Bryan Wiggins — Combat Marine, husband, father, entrepreneur, and founder of Charlie Company — for a conversation about leadership, family, business, faith, and what it really means to become a man others can depend on.

Bryan’s journey from the Marine Corps to the blue-collar world and entrepreneurship has shaped a philosophy centered around embracing the hard seasons of life rather than avoiding them. He believes men should take pride in what they build, lead their families and communities well, and be willing to go through the “trench” required to grow into stronger, more capable men.

Bryan also shares the story behind Trench Made Society, a membership community for men and business owners focused on leadership, business systems, scalability, brotherhood, faith, family, and freedom. He also hosts the In the Trench Podcast, where he has honest conversations about entrepreneurship, leadership, fatherhood, and personal growth.

In this conversation, Abby, Collin, and Bryan discuss:

• Bryan’s experience as a Combat Marine
• Life after the Marine Corps
• Blue-collar work and entrepreneurship
• The importance of leadership for men
• Fatherhood, family, and responsibility
• Building businesses that can scale
• Faith and personal growth
• What it means to embrace the “trench”
• Brotherhood and having people you can depend on
• The mission behind Trench Made Society
• Becoming a more capable and dependable man

Bryan brings a perspective shaped by real-world experience as a Marine, contractor, founder, husband, and father. This episode explores the challenges that come with building a meaningful life and why the difficult seasons can often be the ones that shape us the most.
