EP 541: Feed Stores, Horse Nutrition, Tree Bark, and Side Hustles with Steven Cook

by

This week I am joined by fellow podcaster Steven Cook. Steven is an entrepreneur who took his families feed store business and scaled it a very profitable business. We talk about his background in animal nutrition and how he pivoted his college education into something that would help grow the family business. We also cover some funny side hustles that the early entrepreneur used to pay his way through college. An avid hunter Steven stumbled onto my podcast and was stoked to see someone talking about business and hunting. We hit it off and chatted about a few side hustles he would do if he wanted to make some side cash.

How does an extra $10k right now sound? You’re probably gonna need it just to cover fuel cost this hunting season.
Last couple months I have secretly been building the ultimate community for people who want the most out of life. This thing is awesome and I gotta say I really stoked about it. It’s called Rich Ideas Lab. It’s a place for lifestyle entrepreneurs who prefer gravel roads over sandy beaches. It’s a place where we can jam on business ideas, side hustles, and ways to make money that allow us that thing we all want, financial and time freedom.
Great entrepreneurs have more Ideas than time, I want show you what that looks like.  To give you the community that will push you to accomplish the most out of life, even if you live in a small town and don’t know anybody who is ambitious.
Here is why you need to go sign up right now. The first 100 people are getting in for $200 and then its jumping up. On top of that I’m gonna give you the side hustle course worth another $100. If thats not enough I’m also throwing in my entrepreneur course worth $500. That’s $600 of bonus vale and $100 off just for being an early adopter of the ideas lab.
O, and if you don’t think you’re gonna double your $200 being apart of this then I will personally Venmo you $200 back.
It is e-scouting season if you are a serious hunter now is the time to start scheming and planning for 2022. Getting a tag is the name of the game and before you ever apply you should be looking over that unit in onX to see what it looks like. If you can see any pockets where you might find that future wall hanger. On X is my go-to map for e-scouting and now with your elite membership you get access to not only all 50 states but you also get access to Top-rut draw odds and Huntin Fools e-mag  to help you find that tag that other people aren’t seeing. Upgrade your on X membership to Elite and get the whole e-scouting package

Quick interruption to tell you that the Rich Life course is now live again. Back in December we ran a pilot course with 25 students and it was awesome. We launched multiple businesses and the feedback was outstanding. I think people were blown away. When I first had the idea to launch the course I didn’t know whether to make it about starting a side hustle or just about entrepreneurship. Through teach those first 25 students I have realized that this is a course about how to make time and money. So so many would be entrepreneurs start a project only to realize they only started a job and freedom to hunt as much as they want is nowhere to be seen. This course is about choosing the right ideas and or pivoting from the wrong ones. My entire life has been build around how do I create an income that allows me to go do the things I love. I have made a pile mistakes along the way and I want to teach people like me how to avoid those potholes. If you are a interested in changing your life sign up at therichoutdoors.net/course if you use code TRO it’ll save you $50 bucks and for the first 50 people to sign up I will give you access to our Slack channel that we are calling the Rich Ideas Lab where you will get access to tons of ideas and a community of entrepreneurs.

EP 538: Bitcoin Boom or Bust? with Craig Van Arsdale

by

It’s been a hot minute since Craig and I have done a Bitcoin podcast. Since we last talked about Bitcoin things have definitely changed a lot. Extreme highs, and now currently some big adjustment (January 2022).

THIS PODCAST IS NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE!

In this podcast Craig and I bounce all over. From answering some of the more basic questions we get to some of the speculative ideas of what could be the future this podcast bounces all over. Like with most things crypto this podcast will probably answer one question to every 2 questions it opens. We talk about The Bitcoin Standard and I would highly recommend this book if you are curious about why Bitcoin is important. It also will give you a big insight into currency as a whole and the history of currencies throughout the world.

If you guys like this content be sure to let us know. I would also recommend reaching out to Craig directly if you have follow up questions.

EP 537: Lime Disease and Grizzly Encounters with Justin Klement

by

Welcome to the podcast. This week I welcome Justin Klement to Montana area and we talk about his really cool new house build. Justin moved here from the PNW and decided to buy dirt and build his dream house himself. Building his remote shipping container home was quite the project and the fact that he did it through all the chaos last year is quite the feat. Justin is what we call an adult onset hunter but he is one that goes all in when he starts something new. Justin has now hunted all over the west and we talk about his struggles and lessons learned.

We also talk about his insane battle with lime disease, from misdiagnosis to crazy nervous system issues. Justin has had quite the battle with lime disease. We also talk about his 2021 trip to Wyoming and multiple grizzly encounters. To include but not limited to killing a bull 7 miles deep and having a sow and cub take some of his meat on the last trip in.

Back in December we ran a pilot course with 25 students and it was awesome. We launched multiple businesses and the feedback was outstanding. I think people were blown away. When I first had the idea to launch the course I didn’t know whether to make it about starting a side hustle or just about entrepreneurship.
