Amazing production. Credit to your in-house producer whoever he may be
Oops. I gave credit to Rihanna lol great job, Truett!
I'm guessing... it's you!
The in-house producer is doing a pretty good job, whoever it might be 😂 No really, top quality, can’t say anything bad or constructive about it.
Thank you Truett for increased daily pullups and solid editing
Guess it’s not Young Jamie. Haha great job Truett.
The moment we have all been waiting for! KH Pod is here BABY!
Oh yeah 😃 I love it already 👌💪
Solid episode. Chandler is one of my favourite fighters at the moment, love his mentality and how hard he trains. Absolute beast. Dude is wise and legit.
So glad you are sharing your passion--you are a humble savage

Awesome listen/watch. The set and production is amazing. The Cam Hanes mindset is very influential and keeps me working hard. Cam is great on the mic and is a great narrator of Endure. Constructive criticism - less “mhm,” let the guest talk. This will be one of top podcasts within a year. 🔨🔨🔨

Let’s gooooooooo

I’ve been listening to Rogan, Jocko, Goggins and the former Keep Hammering podcast for years, but the Keep Hammering Collective has not only surpassed Cameron Hanes original podcast, it is quickly surpassing all other inspirational podcasts. Not in the way some people might think of as your stereotypical inspiration, but in the way that this podcast tells the story of how regular people decided to dedicate themselves to something and then give it their all. Through that they have achieved a level of success that so few people achieve, because they lack whatever that drive and discipline requires to make it happen. These stories show a real path and that you don’t have to be born into money or status or even have unnatural talent to become great. It’s a choice that you make to overcome adversity and the mental obstacles that hold us back. What I love most about this podcast is that so far, every guest has incorporated FAITH into the equation as to how they have found the strength and the ability to persevere and overcome everything life has thrown at them. It’s not common to hear some of the most successful people out there speak publicly about the role their faith has played in shaping their success. A very powerful podcast I’d recommend to anyone who wants to see real life examples of how you can change your life from ordinary to uncommon through your own actions and not live your life in default mode. This podcast has inspired me to work harder and longer even when it’s cold and wet out. My body wants to give up or clock out early, but my mind is stronger when I am reminded of what uncommon looks and feels like. That’s what this podcast is, Uncommon. Thank you Cameron Hanes and all of your guests for sharing your stories and for being examples of how we can achieve what it is we want most in this life. Buster Hanson
Now it‘s time for you Cameron to earn the really big rewards you‘re building your entire life and I love it to see you succeeding 🔥🔥🔥 Out of you audiobook I understood that you‘re in your mind the guy that ask for overtime on your day job at the warehouse and I fucking love it 🙏 Your retirement is very well earned and I‘m stoked to see what you‘re doing with the time you have now what your job occupied 💪💪💪 The people I really love to see in your podcast are: David Goggins, Dr. Jordan Peterson, Jocko Willing, Courtney Dauwalter and of course Joe Rogan 🙏👌 Great job dude
Amazing! Keep hammering! How often are you going to post a new video??
First episode of my new favorite podcast drops on my birthday? Lets go Cam! Keep Hammering!
Happy Birthday 🍻

Phenomenal podcast. Every topic from God, faith, hard work, parenting, fighting, outdoors. Loved every minute of it. 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Once The Mummy Cats blow up i'll be be on here blasting marathons and talkin shit. God bless!
Great job Cam! So happy to see you doing this. Who did the outro song? It's nice! 🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate it! The song is called Cam Hanes by Shafer (myself) 🚀
Like the leupold sign. Wondering if late season or gun hunting on table to. Not just bow.
Let’s fucking go!
Would you please put these on Google Podcasts? Excited for all the new content!
Love how Micheal Chandler honors god and speaks of serving his wife and kids true man of God
Appreciate the cough off mic. Professional haha
Chandler is just a good stand up dude. Damn, I’m such a fan now. Didn’t know what to make of him when he first came to the UFC. What a tough good dude. Also, his nose is fucked.. having a fucked up nose SUCKSSS PEOPLE. It’s little shit like that you don’t realize how much these guys give and sacrifice for this sport. I smashed my nose after I was out cutting trees on my deer hunting property, limb fell out while I was looking up watching it fall, SMASHEDDDD the bridge of my nose, forehead, and eye socket. I’m pretty well healed up, but damn having a jacked nose SUCKKKSSS everyday soooo bad lol. I feel for ya man. Keep up the grind, the good fight. 👍
Loved the podcast! Joe Rogan next!!
Im glad im not the only one who wants to get attacked by a bear or wild animal and get a crazy scar across my chest😂 Great Podcast!!
Great show, hey Hanes light up studio a bit and show off the bulls!!
Nice cam! Would love to see you do a pod with Colby in future 🤙
