Jake puts more animals on the ground with a stickbow every year than most guys can with a compound or rifle. On top of that, he runs his own electrical contracting business and has a young family to take care of. Jake and I spent most of our time discussing mindset, discipline and why it’s important to do hard shit every day.

Bryan is not only the founder of Day Six Gear, but he is also a very successful businessman who's driving motivations are his family and faith. I love talking to guys like Bryan because I get the chance to learn from someone who is tackling similar problems to myself but is a little closer to finding the best solutions. We talked a lot about business and archery systems so there is a lot to dig into on this one.

EP 169 – Culture, Conservation, and Hunting Rights with Mike Duplan
Mike is known for killing big mule deer but more importantly, Mike also has a very strong voice for conservation and hunting rights. Given the climate we are in right now and all the battles we are facing for our hunting rights across North America I wanted to have Mike on to get his thoughts and advice.
