Good Marketing Always Wins.

Good Marketing Always Wins.

I still remember it like it was yesterday. Walking across that stage was an incredibly gratifying moment; partly because I successfully made it across without falling on my face while wearing 6” turquoise heels (literally the tallest I’ve ever tried on), but mainly because I had switched majors multiple times and still finished in 4.5 years. Many summer classes, all nighters, and full breakdowns later (picture lots of ugly crying), I was handed a diploma with a B.S. in Visualization from Texas A&M. That was a little over 6 years ago now.

Fear of Failure & Predictors of Success

Fear of Failure & Predictors of Success

I tuned in to Joe Rogan's podcast with Jordan Petersen on my short run and just had to share a stream of thoughts. Honestly I had never heard of Jordan, but his perspective on several topics is really interesting. Simply put, he intrigues me. There's one line that stuck out more than any other: "The best predictors for success in Western hierarchies are intelligence and consciousness." I seriously hit the rewind button a dozen times. I was drawn to such a simple statement and couldn't help but let it simmer on my mind for hours later. I researched Jordan further when I returned home from my run, which brought me to the videos below, where he continues to share some incredibly honest, inspiring words.

April 9th - putting the finishing touches on the extra rooms in our house. Hanging a picture, painting some furniture, and unpacking the last couple of boxes from the move 6 months prior.

Fast forward to one week later.

April 16th - at the gym wrapping up another training session with Elevation Fitness Training as I prepare for my upcoming Train to Hunt event. Then my phone rings - it’s Braxton.

“They let me go. About 10 of us.”

An Outdoorsman's Heartbreak

An Outdoorsman's Heartbreak

I just returned from New Mexico for the second year in hopes of bringing home my second Rocky Mountain bull elk with my bow. I didn't harvest a bull, but I did manage to harvest a broken heart. Almost anybody can relate to heartbreak, and if you haven't yet, you will. It's a powerful, relentless feeling that takes time to overcome. I've felt heartbroken when a relationship ended, or when I attended a funeral, or when I lost a pet, but this experience was different than every other time.
