Summary
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.
Today’s podcast brought to you by Tricer Tripods. Check out the new GTP-1 the worlds lightest full functioning sit to stand tripod on the market at 20oz. I been testing the Tricer products for a couple years now and the GTP is legit. Keep your you’ll tooth brush and shave pounds on that bulk tripod you been hauling around with a switch to the Tricer GTP-1. The first tripod that can can utilize pretty much any trekking pole you already own and give you a solid enough base to use any spotter, camera or even shooting off of for that matter. Use Code “TRO” and save 15% off. www.Tricerusa.com?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss
Before we get started I want to remind you guys that if you want to get your fix of Wapiti Wednesday and some great elk hunting content we have plenty of that going on on the Patreon feed. For just $5 you can get caught up on a years worth of hardcore elk hunting knowledge. A couple of my recent favorites were Sam Davis, which is a must listen for any open country hunters, Trail Kreitzer on covering ground with camp on your back, and for you Roosevelt guys we just did an awesome podcast about targeting clear cuts. Go check it out and freshen up those elk skills before season.
