In this raw and thought-provoking episode, Ryan James Miller reflects on his recent campaign for a local school board, unpacking the challenges, personal sacrifices, and lessons learned along the way. Joined by longtime friend and political strategist Kody Fairfield, they explore the deeper truths about courage, conviction, and why standing for your values often comes with a cost—and a reward.

• The Role of Faith in Leadership: Ryan shares how his belief in God guided him through an emotionally and professionally taxing campaign, providing clarity and strength in the face of opposition.
• Navigating Conflict and Community Division: The duo dives into the polarization in local politics, highlighting the importance of focusing on solutions rather than rhetoric.

• Lessons on Legacy: "You will not change the world any more than by who your children become," Kody reminds us, emphasizing the ripple effect of standing up for your values and modeling courage in your personal and professional life.

• Leadership Requires Sacrifice: "I may have lost the campaign, but I gained the ability to look my kids in the eyes and say I stood up when no one else would."
• Truth and Transparency Matter: Authenticity in leadership means confronting hard truths, whether it's about underperforming systems or broken institutions, and working toward meaningful change.
• Action Starts Locally: Real impact begins in our homes, schools, and communities. Every step—big or small—can create lasting influence when rooted in conviction.

"We lose sight of God when we remove human agency from creation. In a world increasingly automated, what happens to authenticity and true craftsmanship?"

In this episode, Ryan James Miller sits down with jeweler Nicholas Hayford to explore the intersection of faith, craftsmanship, and authentic living. What starts as a discussion about jewelry unexpectedly unfolds into a deep dive on manhood, marriage, and God-given purpose. From custom black diamond rings to the art of handcrafting pieces that last generations, Nicholas shares why he believes jewelry can be a powerful symbol of relationships and legacy.

Key Takeaways:

1. Authenticity and Handcrafted Art: Nicholas emphasizes the value of "old-world" hand fabrication over computer-aided designs, comparing hand-built pieces to pre-fab cabinets. This process brings him joy, knowing that he’s making something personal and meaningful—like the heirloom jewelry passed from one generation to the next.
2. Faith and Purpose in Craftsmanship: Ryan and Nicholas discuss how true fulfillment in work is found by aligning one’s skills with God’s calling. Nicholas believes his purpose is creating timeless pieces that honor relationships and reflect beauty, mirroring God’s creativity.
3. Marriage as a Foundation: A recurring theme is the vital role of marriage and family. Nicholas speaks on the influence of his parents' long-lasting marriage and how, for him, creating meaningful jewelry strengthens couples' connections. He considers his role as not just a jeweler but as someone helping men show appreciation for their wives in a lasting way.
4. Stewardship Over Success: Nicholas views his talents and career as gifts from God, something to steward rather than exploit. Ryan reflects on how men are often tempted to chase visible “greatness” but miss the opportunity to simply live out their calling with humility and integrity.

This episode speaks to men who want more than success; they want purpose, alignment, and a legacy that speaks to God’s call in their lives.

Whether you’re a craftsman or a corporate leader, this conversation encourages you to embrace authenticity, serve others, and steward your gifts faithfully.
