For Episode 127 of the Curious Jones podcast, we sit down with Mark Austin, one of my closest friends and an executive in the performance nutrition and private equity world.

Benjamin Sutfin is an accomplished entrepreneur, woodworker / craftsman and author of a novel series called "The Chronicles of Eoorthe". He is the owner and operator of Longing Woodworks and has a background in philosophy and theology which he focused on in college.
He is most proud of his role a father and husband, and someone I now call a friend.

We had deep discussions around religion, leadership, what it means to be a father and as so much more.
Happy Father's Day to all the men who fill that role. Thanks for listening & Stay Curious.
