EP 559: Make the Fun Part your Job with Fred Bohm

by

Fred Bohm was working at his desk one day and just decided. If I’m gonna work this hard it mind as well be on my own thing. Fast forward and I think Fred has a pretty awesome gig and at least appears to be pretty happy.
This week we talk with Fred Bohm who not only built a great little brand and company but most importantly he designed his life to optimize his passion.
Fred doesn’t have to be famous and have a Youtube channel, he gets to go do his two favorite things, take pictures and spend time outdoors.

This is such a great podcast and I know it would have inspired the heck out of me when I was just starting out. Enjoy!

It’s safe to say  I use On X pretty much daily. With gas prices through the roof scouting from my laptop is a heck of a lot cheaper than driving. I’ve forced myself to dive deeper into all my hunt plans to make sure I’m dialed. One cool thing I like to do is put all my pins in folders this way I can take them on and off. I can hide all my pins and really see the map with a clean slate. Pretty cool feature.

EP 558: A Book Ram at 82 with Jim Boorman

by

I ran into Jim Boorman on a trail outside of town. Jim is 83 now and walks about 4 miles 3 days a week. Seeing him a couple miles up the trail I decided to stop and chat. Turns out he’s a hunter. He asked why I was running and I told him the only reason I run is to stay in shape for hunting season. He proceeded to tell me about shooting a book ram at 82. You best believe I had to get him on the podcast. Jim has also killed 33 elk and to this day still hunts with a 30-06 Remington pump. Enjoy the pod!

Map Check Challenge

by

Map Check Challenge helps you clarify what your success looks like.
Hey you beautiful podcast listeners!
I got a something special for you today. Recently I created something called the Map Check Challenge. It’s a tool to help you clarify your life route. A few weeks ago my buddy David Brinker was on and he talked about having this moment where his goals didn’t align with what he was doing. I know this feeling well because I too have had that moment. Most of you have seen it first hand. I was doing nothing but hunting podcast and I was burnt out talking about hunting tips and tactics but I had created this thing that I thought had to keep making people this thing they expected of me.
I went on a mission to figure what was next. In that process I created a tried to create a better tool that. While I think this so important and realistically everyone I look up to has some version of this process. I felt like everything out there was so woo woo and not for me. In a lot of ways I’m too much of a realist or maybe to cynical to subscribe to this if you dream it will come shit.
So I created it as a challenge that is tied to something we know. Just like looking at a map and making a plan the Map Check challenge is built around figuring out where you want to go, what means you have to get there, and then making a plan to with checkpoints.
I am putting it on the podcast because I 100% know that most of you are too busy fighting the brush to even go watch the video. but my hope is that by listening to this you will be like shit, ok I need to go do this. Let me say that again, go get the worksheets and spend some time doing this because busting brush in the wrong direction just to prove your a badass is stupid. don’t be stupid.

EP 556: Work/Play Balance with Jacob Oppelt

by

My good buddy Jake pops into the studio to catch up on plans for this fall, and to talk about work play balance. Jake is a serial entrepreneur with multiple business yet seems to travel as much or more than anyone I know. We talk about early mentors and how he got the itch for doing his own thing. Growing up in Port Angeles WA he said starting a business was just what you did if you wanted to be successful.” Jake’s mindset is limitless and I love how he just does things his way and never looks to see how other people do it.

Jake was is a big contributor to the Rich Ideas Lab and last week he added a ton of value by breaking down how to go about owner financing a business. Aka how to buy a business without having to go to the bank. That Jam session alone is worth the cost of the lab and I highly recommend any entrepreneur out there go check it out. Even Ty Leary, who has bought and sold multiple business told me it was gold and really got his wheels turning. Jam Session 18 if you want to take a look.
