Today we're talking to Kyle Thowsen, who has devoted his life to training dogs. From protection dogs, to family dogs, to dogs in the service, Kyle has seen it all. Join us for a great conversation about everything you wanted to know about dog training. Are some dogs unsaveable? Can you untrain bad habits? Does the most popular training method work?

In his own words:

Hey there! My name is Kyle Thowsen.

I have been training dogs for 7+ years.

I'm the only TWC Certified dog trainer In Nevada.

My goal is to help dogs and owners live their best lives while enjoying as much freedom as possible.

My training program focuses on the emotions of the dog and having a strong relationship with them. The dogs I train understand true control in the real world, not just a training room for a treat. This allows us to be off leash with our dogs and know they will listen even if they are excited or want to chase things like rabbits.

I look forward to meeting you and your pups.

Today on the show we have Howard Polansky, owner and operator of Cash Flow Coach USA! Howard has an amazing ability to use debt to create wealth faster, and has helped tons of people create wealth from ways most have never thought about. It's a great eye-opening conversation all about money, and I'm excited to share it!

www.cashflowcoachusa.com

Howard Polansky DMD, MBA started his career as a dentist for the United States Navy. After serving his country, he began a dental practice in 2009 in Austin, Texas. After 9 years, Howard’s older son developed an acute medical condition, landing his son in the ICU for 19 days at the local children’s hospital. With much angst and contemplation, Howard realized his future path did not involve dentistry. After his son made a complete recovery, Dr. Polansky sold his practice in September 2018, yet colleagues were asking how he was able to walk away? His answer was, “I learned how to make money flow.” With intrigue from others, he explained the concept of what is now Cash Flow Coaching – saving years from paying off debt, saving thousands of dollars interest, and having more cash flow immediately. Financial Freedom Faster.

Patrick Barrientes joined Scott Groves for a podcast featured on the Front Row Dads podcast, but we kept talking so we decided to make our own episode here!. Join us as we talk about the stigma of being a stay-at-home Dad, the benefits of living a rural lifestyle (in Alaska!) and how to trust your spouse’s instincts as a parent when lines are being drawn in the sand with household disagreements.

You’ll also hear how he’s teaching his daughters to be strong women with jiu-jitsu and how one of them handled an older 5th grade bully with a double leg takedown and why it was the right move worthy of a high five!

Afterwards, we'll go into knife fighting, boxing, jiu jitsu, life in Alaska, and more fighting stuff!

A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…

Letting your woman shine

Happiness as a stay-at-home dad

Who says girls can’t be tough?!

Never keep score in your marriage

The stigma of stay-at-home Dads

Different parenting styles between Mom and Dad

Clean bedrooms: Worth fighting about?

Raising strong daughters in Alaska vs the city

New perspectives when living in Alaska

Joining us today is Rich Robredo, a Real Estate Broker in the Las Vegas valley. He is also forming a PAC called The Caldera Club. Today’s episode will be about Real Estate, politics, and life in Las Vegas and Nevada in general! We go pretty hard into politics in this episode, so if that’s your thing I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

Everything about Las Vegas is fascinating, and that includes it's extremely dynamic Real Estate landscape.

Joining us today is Daniel Edwards, who created a book publishing company Creative Texts. After interviewing Sean Liscom, author of The Ranch series, he suggested that I talk to his publisher, so here we are! Today we have a great talk about how the Amazon Publishing world works, what are considered big numbers and what aren’t, and ways to succeed in this relatively new industry of self publishing. We also get very deep into Daniel Edwards’ personal writing journey, which revolves around finding the truth about Billy The Kid. It turns out that this story is not as clear cut as many of us once thought! Through this journey, Daniel has been lucky enough to work with well known people, including Emilio Estevez, who you may remember played Billy the Kid. Anyway, we jump all over the place, it’s a great chat, join us!

A few months ago, I hired Songbird City to write a song for my wife as an anniversary gift. I thought it sounded like a cheezy idea, but after receiving several recommendations I went for it. The result was an unforgettable moment when I revealed the song and got probably the best reaction I’ve ever seen from a gift. Reaction video is in the podcast!
