Our guest in this episode of The Dash In The Middle is Mr. Joey O'Bannon. Joey is a retired PH (professional hunter), and spent a lifetime hunting in Africa. He tells us about how he got into the hunting industry and his first trip to Africa. He goes into detail about hunting the Big 5,- elephants, buffalo, lions, rhino, and leopards. He tells us how he started J and R outfitters in Indiantown, Florida, and what it was like when he brought water buffalo on the ranch and how he got into bird hunting, particularly quail hunting. He also discusses his life as a cattleman in south Florida. It's very hard to sum up a lifetime in two hours, but this is the highlight reel and his stories are truly second to none.

Our guest on this episode of The Dash In The Middle is Stephen Bruner. Stephen is a pastor and describes his journey to faith after overcoming childhood trauma and other forms of adversity growing up. He tells the story of how he became a professional bull fighter in the PBR and PRCA. He also goes into detail about his journey through stage 3 testicular cancer, his symptoms, treatment journey, and ultimately beating cancer completely. We discuss his journey to becoming a day-working cowboy in south Florida and what the learning curve was like in that career.

Welcome to The Dash In The Middle podcast. Growing up I struggled with that million dollar question.... what am I going to do with my life? It can be one of the hardest questions to answer, but it is one of the most important. Generally speaking what is the first thing someone new asks you when you meet? Usually it's "so what do you do for a living?". I love asking that question, learning about peoples lives, what they do, and how they got to where they are today. That's how this podcast was born, we all have two dates on our headstones, the day we were born and the day we die , but the dash in the middle is what counts the most. My hope for this podcast is that we will positively impact our viewers who may be searching for the right career, wanting to start a business, dealing with hardship and adversity, or simply wanting to learn something new by listening to the wide variety of guests that we plan to host. Pay attention to their stories so you too can make the most of your dash in the middle!
