Lefty Kreh made the 50% rule for leaders and I use it all the time. A 9ft leader is kind of standard. There is a very simple formula, the one made by Lefty. 4+2+1+2=9 4.5+6+3+1.5+3=13.5 We start with 50 and taper down to 15. We start 4ft of 50lb, 2ft of 30lb, 1ft of 25lb then double the last distance of 2ft of 15lb. Listen to me walk through it or here’s a video where I explain it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8vEd7NY53E Learn more about your ad choices.

“Absorb what is useful  Discard what is not Add what is uniquely your own” -Bruce Lee This quote begins our summer physical challenges!  We will try a few new things. Some are easy to do but easier not to do. Some will be real physical challenges. Some will be nutritional experiments. Give them a try if you like. Keep them in your routine if you like them, discard if you don’t.  Here’s the challenge for this week: Take 5 days this week to spend 15 minutes of meditation or 3 rounds of Wim Hof breathing, 5 days in a row. Meditation can be different for everyone. For me it will be the Wim Hof Method. Check out http://tomrowlandpodcast.com/blog/summer-challenge for videos on the Wim Hof Method plus other options for meditation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There is no substitute for time on the water for being a great guide. However, you can also help yourself out greatly by asking the right questions when you are booking the trip. In this episode we talk about what questions should be asked, and how to determine your client’s expectations and either deliver like a ROCK STAR, or pass them off to a guide who can. Many of these principles can be applied to other aspects of business. If you like this episode, please share on social media or copy the link and text it to a friend.

I have been collecting fitness equipment for 20+ years.  In that time I have built a World Class Strength and Conditioning facility in my garage.  There is no way I could just buy everything I have all at once, it took time to build just a little at a time.  Many people have asked my advice on building a home gym with different budgets.   In this episode, I go over some key pieces of equipment that are, in my opinion, the best bang for the buck to offer unlimited flexibility for workouts. We set the budget at $500 and actually came out about $50 under.  If you want a list of 10 great workouts that you can do with this equipment, text the word BUDGET to (305) 930-7346 and I will give you the link and password to the private workout page.

Graham Tayloe knows a lot about turkey hunting, and he recently was a part of the grand slam world record time, where his crew killed all 4 species in 45 hours. This consisted of traveling by plane between Alabama, Florida, Kansas, and South Dakota. They only slept for 5 hours during those 45 hours but were able to set the new world record! Graham talks us through the whole experience, and also tells us about a very special turkey that he recently killed on his own down in Alabama, an extremely rare albino. He tells us about it's different calling habits, and how he was able to have success hunting the turkey as the season was coming to a close. This episode is full of great knowledge from Graham, so if you like turkey hunting or hunting in general, you'll definitely like this one.

This week we are throwing it back to one of our most popular How 2 Tuesdays from 2019: In October of 2015 I came across a documentary that changed how I started my day. Vice did a documentary about a Daredevil named Wim Hof who, through a breathing technique, was able to do amazing things previously believed to be impossible. He ran a marathon barefoot in the Arctic Circle, another marathon in extreme heat, he climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in shorts and even went up Everest in a pair of shorts. He set world records for swims under frozen lakes, he stayed in ice up to his neck longer than anyone to set a World Record. He was also able to influence his autonomic immune system in a laboratory environment to astound the scientific community. What was the most impressive to me, though, was that he claimed that he could teach these methods to anyone and that anyone could do what he has done. Strong claim…but he proved it by takin untrained people right up Kilimanjaro and teaching a group of people to alter their autonomic
