You get liquid in the cup and the cup is liquid energy. You interact with several people throughout your day. There are people that take from your cup or just pour in yours. Nobody in this world controls your happiness. You are responsible for your health. If you're not happy, it's your fault, own it. If you can own it, you can tame it!”                                                         -Patrick Mudge     In This Episode   14:09 - The significance of Emotional Intelligence in the decision making process, stress management, and interpersonal relationships   20:50 - How Matt learned and progressed in his personal development   23:32 - Patrick's thought process in learning and education system   34:16 - Patrick's excellent advice in finding your happiness   39:58 - Tips on how to shut off white noise   1:01:32 - Distinct features of Icey-Tek coolers that set itself apart from other brands   1:08:36 - What's coming up to Icey-Tek coolers you don't want to miss   1:16:44 - How to win 120-quart Icey-Tek cooler   1:41:39 - Patrick's unforgettable tequila story     Our Sponsors Higdon Outdoors - The industry leader in the waterfowl industry for over 25 years Icey-Tek USA - The classic rotomolded ice chest that started the entire premium cooler industry Merica Bourbon - The sweet taste of freedom Mossy Oak - Make sure the camo that you use is up to the task   Listen To More Episodes of BACK TO THE LODGE PODCAST Spotify Apple Podcast YouTube   Visit our Website Back To The Lodge Follow us on Facebook - Back to the Lodge Tune in LIVE to WEIO 100.9 The Farm   Hosts: Patrick Mudge, Matthew Dretzka & Nick Conder Podcast by: Knucklehead Media Group
