EP 531: Hunting Fanatic and General Contractor Marcus Gores

by

Welcome to the pod, this week I am joined by Marcus Gores who just got done doing an amazing stone sheep hunt. Marcus is a hunting fanatic through and through we talk about his journey and his desire to travel to new places experiencing hunts and the adventure it leads them on. In this podcast Marcus shares his adventures of his two brutal sheep hunts. We talk about his wife getting into hunting and how that has changed his perspective, and we talk about the reality of burnout.

Marcus has been on some crazy hunts and one would think he has spent a small fortune. For me it was cool to hear that he is a general contractor who works hard and plays hard. Marcus also has not only plays his cards very well when getting tags though raffles but he also talks about putting in some serious work on the phones to capitalize on other opportunities that most don’t or just won’t. A great conversation, and I hope you all enjoy.

This podcast brought to you by the awesome folks at Maven Built Optics. Maven is such a cool company and a great group of people. I also love that they are a small Wyoming company making big waves. Maven is a direct to consumer optics company which means they don’t have huge mark ups. One of the most common questions you guys the listeners ask me is to compare mavens to something at an equal price point. I can’t say it enough Maven blows everything in a similar price point out of the water. Stop comparing products based on price. This is why I say Maven is the best bang for your buck by far and away, it’s not even close. Good glass is a must have. From their rifle scopes to binoculars, and spotters I highly recommend their optics. They also have a custom optics builder which is really cool. You can jump on their website MavenBuilt.com and design your optics with custom patterns or custom colors the options are pretty endless. Check them out at Mavenbuilt.com and use the “TRO-GIFT” code to get a special bonus gift with your purchase.

EP 528: Dream Hunts Might Just Change Your Life with Tyson Olson

by

This week Tyson Olson is back on the show. Tyson is one of the people I surround myself to push me to be better. Tyson has been on the show a few times and is just one of those people who achieves at an extremely high level. In the last episode Tyson and I touched on his processes for dream boarding, a system that he uses to dangle they proverbial carrot in front of himself. Tyson does this at such a high level and then has been able to complete that quest 3 times. This is so powerful! I think this is so important and today we dive into the dream board both for life but also for hunting. For me the dream hunts have been as much or more of a driver to push me toward success than any material things. Tyson is so clear and concise with his plans and does a phenomenal job of accomplishing goals.

We also dive into his learning disabilities and how he changed that negative in his life to a positive. Tyson talks about how he never really let it get to him but when he found a way to flip the script it was a huge piece of his success story.

EP 527: The Zemlicka’s Family Hunt is on another Level

by

Lucas and Alishia are probably the most hardcore hunting couple I have ever met. They both get after it and there is rarely a day off work that they aren’t both in the mountains. When they go pregnant last year my wife and I joked that the baby better hit the ground running or it was going to get left behind.

I was curious how their lifestyle would change if at all with the introduction of their daughter. I can’t say that I am surprised that they both killed 6 point bulls this year and Lucas killed yet another giant. This podcast should give hope to you who are avid hunters and hope to have a Family. The Zemlicka’s should be a goal to live up toward.

by

What’s up beautiful podcast listeners. Today I am joined by Brad Luttrell of GoWild. Brad and I have been friends a long time, we work together on a non profit and we generally stay in touch about entrepreneurship and whats working and whats not. This week Brad and I dive into Gear and GoWilds pivot to offer gear on their platform. We talk about trends both out east and in the west. We talk about some of their growth through the pandemic and we talk about the censorship we are seeing across all social media toward the hunting industry. With YouTube setting out another attack directly hurting many of the hunting content creators it seems to be just more of the same. We talk about possible outcomes and how creators can combat this moving forward. A super interesting podcast that bounces all over the spectrum. Really hope you enjoy!
