We sit down with Dave Skinner land specialist from Whitetail Properties and learn why Kentucky is still an under-rated hot spot for big Monster buck real estate.

What is holding you back from chasing your dreams? What excuses are you using for not doing anything to make better choices? Join me as Tracy Breen shares how he has dealt with Cerebral Palsy without excuses in order to pursue his career as an outdoor writer, marketing and PR consultant, and public speaker.  

Guest's Opening Quote:

"If you have a dream, chase it. From Apple Computers to Go-Pro Cameras to Mathews Bows, we can name lots and lots of companies both in the outdoor industry and outside of it that all these people had dreams and they chased them.  And they all had people telling them that they were crazy for chasing them and they achieved them. The key ingredient is lots of drive and determination and chasing the dream. "

What would you do if the job that you loved and that you trained for was unexpectedly eliminated? Join me as Dan Christ talks about how he transitioned from a government forestry and fire fighting career to being an entrepreneur as a full-time wildlife artist where he can schedule his work around his bow hunting.

Guest's Opening Quote:

"One of the blessings of being self-employed is having the freedom to take off and get out there. So once I start archery hunting, I'm out there every morning and every evening. My workload is set aside for other times of the day..... just having that freedom of being  able to schedule my day around my hunting. That's where I get my inspiration."

More About My Guest:

In January of 2014 Dan celebrated his 36th anniversary as a full time wildlife artist.  His humble beginning was painting the wildlife he loved and experienced in the backyard of his Berks County Pennsylvania home on a dairy farm.  Dan continues to paint from his experiences, whether they are the wilds of Alaska or the heights of the Rockies, or the Serengeti of East Africa.  His education in forestry at Penn State University provided him with the technical knowledge of ecosystems, wildlife habitat, and behavior.  As many of us do, Dan was searching for the meaning and purpose for his life and that is some of what was discussed in this episode, because the result of that search has been a source of inspiration for his art.
