Tom Rowland Podcast

Michael Chandler joins the podcast this week to talk about mindset, parenting, and his incredible recent win at UFC 274 over Tony Ferguson. Mike has an incredible amount of knowledge and real life experience choosing to walk on at the University of Missouri rather than taking a Division 3 scholarship. This move paid off as he became an All-American college wrestler who transitioned to multiple time World Champion with Bellator. Rather than retiring with Belator, Michael essentially walked on again to an unknown career with the UFC. Michael has earned his spot as one of the top 5 Lightweights in the UFC and a fan favorite due to his exciting fighting style. Incredibly dedicated to fitness, Michael takes excellent care of his body which also made for good conversation. This is a “Can’t Miss” episode. If you want to see what Michael is up to with his training and life, check him out on social media @mikechandlermma Learn more about your ad choices.

This year there have been an increasing number of shark attacks on tarpon in the Florida Keys. In this episode, I break down five important steps to avoid your tarpon falling prey to bull sharks or hammerheads. We have unfortunately seen a number of shark attacks recently, and all responsible anglers should try to do everything they can do to prevent tarpon from being eaten by the tax man. Breaking off the fish of a lifetime might be the only option in some cases to allow it to survive. Do you have anything specific that you do to keep tarpon from being attacked by sharks?

Summer is coming! Its time to shed the Dad bod and get ready for the beach! I am celebrating today because I met my goal this morning for my own weight loss. I have lost 17 pounds since March 10, 2022 going from 191 pounds down to 174 pounds. After a winter of trying to increase my weightlifting strength (and not being very disciplined in my diet) I want to weigh less so that I can focus more on running. I used an app called The Carbon App to track all of my eating habits and keep control of my intake of food.  I am not here to tell you which diet is best for you but rather how you can make whatever diet that you and your nutritionist or dietician have determined will be your plan. Apps can help you to track your food intake to keep you on track to reach your goal. The Carbon app goes a few steps further to make suggestions and create a plan for you based on the type of diet you select; Balanced, Reduced Carb, Low Fat, Plant Based or Ketogenic, and allow you to track everything that you eat or drink. Keeping

Rich Vanek and Donnie Connor joined the podcast this week to tell us about a new product they have that is helping to dramatically improve the water quality in the Florida Keys, and all over the world. They have developed a technology that can prevent sewer leaks from happening. This is especially important in the Florida Keys with all of the bridges and the amount of sewer waste that travels directly over the water. Additionally, Rich just graduated from the MDK Project and we discuss the impact it had on his life and business.  This podcast is presented by Black Rifle Coffee  Use code BLASTOFF25 for 25% off Salt Strong Insiders Club: https://bit.ly/RowlandMembership If you have questions or suggestions for the show you can text Tom at 1 305-930-7346 This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

We go into the details of how the water acts as a conductor for metals and why the corrosion is more attracted to zinc.

We have gone over this a few times on the podcast, but I get a little more specific in this episode with a chicken salad recipe that I often turn to when I’m traveling.

With more and more research being done on fish, we are quickly learning how much we can help the fish by giving them a safe release. Richard Black is one of the best guides in the keys and he recently posted a video on using a dehooker, usually used for offshore bait fishing. In this episode we break down why this is such a good tool to release inshore gamefish. If you want a dehooker like Richard uses, you can pick one up at Tackle Direct.  This podcast is presented by Black Rifle Coffee  Use code BLASTOFF25 for 25% off Salt Strong Insiders Club: https://bit.ly/RowlandMembership If you have questions or suggestions for the show you can text Tom at 1 305-930-7346 This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

The hardest part of anybody’s fitness journey is usually getting started. It takes motivation to go to the gym for the first time, to go for your first run, or do push ups for the first time. But I can tell you from personal experience that once you take that leap and just start, it always comes together. You can apply this to many things in life as well. In fact, that’s exactly how I started this podcast. I had no idea what I was doing, but I just decided to start one day and that has lead to over 600 episodes and counting. How have you overcome excuses to start working out?

Ray Cash Care is a former Navy Seal, Actor, Lead Instructor at the Modern Day Knight Project with Bedros Keuilian and PUSHUP MASTER who does 1320 pushups in an hour! Ray joins me on today’s podcast to discuss the mindset of an elite military operator both in and out of service. Ray goes through many of his acronyms that he lives by which lead to his success and how we can all apply some or all of it to our lives. Ray gets after it and makes the most of every minute. He is grateful and thankful and does not rest. He is 50 years old and in better shape than most people of any age because he is constantly sharpening his blade. Just as an example, Ray does 6320 pushups every week. That is 1000 per day and then 1320 on Saturdays with his Instagram community. 1320 is an important number because that represents the 22 veterans and First Responders who commit suicide per day. He does 22 pushups every minute on the minute for 60 minutes.   If you want to get after it like Ray you can be coached by him. Follow him on I

Dr. Mike Larkin is back on the podcast to help us better be able to estimate the weight of tarpon that we catch.

Mike explains an improved formula that more accurately estimates the weight of a tarpon. If you like this episode, be sure to subscribe because we have more episodes with Mike coming soon.
