Summary

This week we deep dive into something very specific from someone you probably haven’t heard it from. Willi Schmidt is well know for his long running show Pure Hunting, but a lot of people don’t know he actually made his living with Car Washes. In this episode we talk about how Willi went from running a bank to walking away and buying a car wash so he could hunt more.
Having the car wash allowed him to pursue is passion and create a second profitable business doing what he loved.
We dive deep into the weeds of the car wash business and figure out what are the major hurdles, costs and headaches of running a car wash. I was blown away at what the potential is.

It’s safe to say I use On X pretty much daily. With gas prices through the roof scouting from my laptop is a heck of a lot cheaper than driving. I’ve forced myself to dive deeper into all my hunt plans to make sure I’m dialed. One cool thing I like to do is put all my pins in folders this way I can take them on and off. I can hide all my pins and really see the map with a clean slate. Pretty cool feature.
Today’s podcast is brought to you by Maven Optics. I love my Maven’s and they are such a great group of dude’s. Maven optics is the first direct to consumer optics brand. This little Wyoming optics company is flipping the optics world on it’s head. Hands down the best bang for your buck and you support local. I’m running the new B6 in 12×50 this year and I am blown away at out good those things are for what they cost. Check em out at Mavenoptics.com and use the Code TRO and checkout for your extra gift.
