We talk about the music career and some big changes that o has up his sleeve. We talk about elk hunting and we talk about the major life update Bo has made. Overall I enjoy talking to Bo because he is very thoughtful about his life and his journey.  I think there is a lot to take from this conversation and hope y’all enjoy.

EP 562: Elk Hunting Flow State with Shawn Melland

by

Welcome to the podcast. This week I am joined my a good buddy Shawn Melland. Shawn is probably one of the best elk hunters in the world. I think a lot of people like to hate on him because what he does seems unattainable. I promise you the only difference between you and Shawn is mindset. You can sit here and say well thats not realistic but but ask yourself why. Why is unrealistic?
We recorded this podcast originally as a wapiti Wednesday for the Patrons but the second half of this pod was so good on a deeper level that I couldn’t not give it to the world. As Shawn said after the podcast, “wow that took a direction I wasn’t expecting.” I said “yeah that might be the biggest ah ha moment I have ever had on the podcast. That punched me in the face pretty hard.
A lot of you have seen that I put out a course called Elk Hunt 201. Which is a 4 step system for being a more successful elk hunter.
I attribute a lot of my knowledge in the last few years to this man right here and a lot of that system comes from Shawn.
There are seems to be two types of reactions to Shawns podcasts. Those who look at someone who targets only 380 plus bulls and says “Well he’s different or that’s not applicable.” and those who say “What can I learn from this guy.” Even if you want to shoot rag 6’s  I would listen to every word Shawn says. Enjoy!
Show Notes:
Pre-Season & Scouting – 06:38
Re-Locating a Target Bull with Other Bulls – 11:16
Tips to Water Sources & Shawn’s Target Bull – 15:48
Self-Confidence, Doubt, Constants & Variables – 24:31
When It Falls Apart, Patience & Aggression – 29:51
Advice for Consistency in Success – 41:06
Shawn Talks “Flow-State” & the Dark Side – 50:32
Personal Desires & Measurable Standards – 58:11
Shawn’s Poem About “Flow-State”- 64:28

EP 561: How to Become a Millionaire with Finance Cowboy

by

I had to title the podcast this just because we made fun of it on the show. In all Reality JD Sustar is pretty far from the “get rich quick crowd. JD is just an average dude the decided one day “I’m going to change my life.” And that he did. We talk about his journey to becoming a millionaire and what advice he would give about your own journey.

JD made his money in real estate, and to this day feels like anyone can make money in real estate and that you don’t need to be rich to even get there. This was a great conversation and inspired me to think about a few things. Hope you all enjoy.

Today’s podcast is brought to you by Tricer Gear, the lightest full functioning tripod on the market, because it can uses the trekking poles you already have.  Drew was on the podcast and we talked about some of the development process and struggles that went into creating this ultralight tripod. The thing I love about this tripod is that the problem you run into with ultra light tripods is that the shake in the wind. However the weight your cutting is made up by adding your trekking poles as legs. On top of that drew designed a weight hanger so that I can hang my pack or my water bottle to add weight to the system making it not shake in the wind. Pretty slick system. Check it out and use TRO to save money, honestly I forgot how much the discount is. Sorry. www.TricerUSA.com
