Hot Ashes Podcast
The Hot Ashes Podcast is where cigars, conversation, and camaraderie come together. Hosted by veterans and longtime friends, the show blends sharp humor, real talk, and storytelling straight from the cigar lounge. One week it’s swapping war stories, the next it’s debating music, movies, leadership, or life’s big questions—no script, no filters, just unfiltered conversation and good bourbon. Whether you’re lighting up a cigar or just looking for a seat at the table, Hot Ashes delivers laughs, insight, and the kind of banter you’d expect from a crew that’s seen a little of everything.

We’re kicking off 2026 in the lounge talking more than just cigars. In this episode of the Hot Ashes Podcast, Lee, TK, Solo, and Roger dive into Dry January, realistic New Year’s resolutions, and why getting uncomfortable might be the only way to actually change.
We get into:
- Dry January, weight gain, and the “just one drink” negotiation
- How to build real habits using ideas from Atomic Habits (start small, set up your environment, habit stacking)
- Gym anxiety, stretching, accountability bets, and why comfort might be ruining us
- Gratitude as a daily practice and simple ways to track it
- Motivation, discipline, and a wild med-school origin story from a brutal physics professor
If you’re thinking about getting healthier, building better routines, or just crawling out of your comfort zone this year, this one’s for you.
