The Host

Hi, I’m Mark Bricker — weekend adventurer, truck enthusiast, and the guy behind Built for Weekends.

Most of my free time is spent exploring the outdoors with my family, dialing in my 2025 F-150 STX weekend-warrior build, and finding new ways to turn ordinary weekends into unforgettable ones.

I started this podcast because I believe the best stories come from real people getting outside, getting their hands dirty, and building a life they actually enjoy. Whether it’s camping, fishing, overlanding, golf, or just getting the truck ready for the next trip — I’m all in.

On Built for Weekends, I share the gear, the adventures, the lessons (and mistakes), and the mindset that turns free time into something epic. I bring on guests from all corners of the outdoor and automotive world — builders, creators, brand reps, weekend warriors, and people who live for that feeling of Friday at 5pm.

If you’re passionate about trucks, gear, family adventures, and squeezing the most out of every weekend… you’re in the right place.

Let’s build something awesome — one weekend at a time.
