Ep 47 - Reading The Hávamál with Guildmaster Ed Gamester Part:1

This week Mathias and Daniel are really pleased to be sitting down with Ed Gamester a writer, strongman, muscian, and Guildmaster of The Guild.  The Guild is Ed's brainchild and a physical manifestation of his own life philosophy, to live life as a bold adventure and surround yourself with people to further that goal. Check it out over at:edgamester.co.ukEd was kind enough to add his unique voice and humor to the mix in part one of a two part series where Mathias reads Odin's advice from the Hávamál aloud.
