What's going on, everybody? A couple of ones prepping for an amazing weekend, got plans with friends and family.

You're going to suck up all the remaining summer that is left before your kids go back to school unless they've already gone back to school.

In which case, as a parent, you know what you're doing. Backflips to celebrate the fact you got a little bit of free time.

Before we get into today's episode, hunting seasons right around the corner and I know there are people out there who are just as excited as I am and they're prepping for it.

And if you've listened to the podcast or followed me to all on social media, you know that I am a Christensen Arms Ambassador.

And they have a promo going on that if you are a hunter or a rifle enthusiast, you may be interested in. So let's just kick it off with that.

It is that time of year to get ready for hunting season. Christensen Arms is running an amazing promotion to help you get prepared.

When you buy an eligible rifle, you're going to get a gift card for the Christensen Arms site worth up to $750.

Their store is full of amazing accessories like leopold optics, mystery ranch backpacks and perhaps a custom half face blades knife uncharted supply medical kits and much more.

And if you want to find out more about that, hit the link in their bio on social media platforms and you can do exactly that research it to your hearts content.

That's it. Let's get into some Q&A away we go.

All right, everybody. Welcome back. Like I said, hopefully you are prepping for a killer weekend.

We're going to dive into some Q&A have three questions a day. They run the gambit a little bit.

So let's just get right into it question number one. I learned a lot of the things I've learned a lot from the things you and the people you've had on your show say and they always make me think about how I can live life to the fullest and be a better version of myself.

First off, that's amazing. There's no question in there. It's a statement from somebody else.

I've said this before on the podcast. If I if you had given me 10 years ago, if you'd give me a piece of paper and an unlimited amount of time to write down things that I thought that I would potentially do in my life versus things that I thought I would never do in my life or have no interest in.

Podcasting would have been on the latter category. I never thought it was something that I was going to do. It was never something that I thought of pursuing.

I'm looking back at it now. I think we're somewhere between the six to seven year mark of doing this. It is the most rewarding thing that I do.

I learn about myself. I question the depths of my own beliefs on certain issues and explore the limits of those beliefs often with other guests.

For people who have asked me how I pick my guests, it's purely from a perspective of whether or not I think the conversation would be interesting. I received a few emails this morning, some specialists in the AI world and their application to health, a country music artist, and someone whose sister was in the Marine Corps. It sounds like a total badass.

I said yes to all three or at least try to facilitate booking all three of them because I think it would be interesting and I think that I have something that I can learn and I think that there is something that other people can learn now to get to my incredibly long-winded point.

Emails like this and realizing that people have benefited or gained in whatever metric that they would apply that to in their personal or professional life or just as a human being is more rewarding than honestly I think anything else that I have done professionally.
