In this episode. I speak with Gregory Evans. I met Greg in Guam while he was sailing through the South Pacific with his family. He has some incredible adventures as he made his way across the ocean, surfing and diving throughout some of the most remote places in the world. We talk a lot about those places that he has been and some of the unique things that he seen from tiger sharks to giant dogtooth tuna. We also discussed how he came about doing this being that he’s from Canada with little to no sailing experience before. I hope you guys enjoy this episode and feel free to reach out to Greg with questions regarding his travels.

In this episode, we have Jon Stenstrom, a returning guest on the podcast, to talk a little bit about how he got started being an entrepreneur, and turning his passion into a business. He talks about his experiences, trying to grow his brand @castandspear in the Spearfishing/fishing industry, and some of the things he encountered and lessons he learned. We also discussed the culture of spear fishing in Southern California, and how it differs from the rest of the planet. Specifically, we talk about the unspoken rules within our own community of Southern California such as spot burning and the dos and don’ts to social media posts. This was a long episode but I hope you will find it interesting and insightful. If you are looking for any advice on how to get started your business or just want to connect with Jon, he can be reached at @castandspear on IG or at https://castandspear.com

This episode of Spearfactor is with Brett Leable. Brett is heavily involved in the world of competitive freshwater Spearfishing, and recently finished participating as a boat driver for the freshwater world competition at Lake Powell. Brett shares with us his journey from Wisconsin where he cut his teeth, spearfishing the great lakes to where he’s at today.

Additionally, we discuss an incident that he was involved in two years ago where a diver was propped and killed. Brett shares in great detail the tragic events of that day. This event was extremely eerie especially because I was out the same day and I heard the call over the radio. I think the biggest take away from our conversation was that everyone plays a role in safety especially out on the water. Thank you Brett for sharing your story with us and everyone please be safe out there.

Welcome back to the SpearFactor Spearfishing podcast. I'm excited to introduce our special guest for episode 58, Nicole Burko, a world-record holder, member of the USA women's spearfishing team, and a talented artist.

Nicole was born in Canada and moved to Florida for college, where she pursued her passion for art and discovered her love for spearfishing. Her studies in art have influenced her underwater experiences and her spearfishing experiences has influenced her art as well.

She has faced tough competition and challenging conditions, but her experiences with commercial spearfishing I’ve helped her develop some very efficient techniques for competition.

In this episode, we'll dive deep into Nicole's journey as a competitive spearfisher, how she balances her passion for art and spearfishing, the training and preparation required to be a member of the USA team, and much more. Join me for this insightful conversation with Nicole Burko, as we explore the world of competitive spearfishing with a couple of big fish stories all in this insightful episode.

In this episode, I speak with Matthew Novakovich from Ocean State Spearguns. Matthew has been diving exclusively on Rhode Island's reefs for years. He is an engineer by trade and he uses that background to push him into perfecting his craft. One of question I asked him was, "How are your guns different than other spearguns?" He explains that the cuttlefish shape is a key component to designing a efficient hydrodynamic speargun. We discuss this further as well as many other items.
