Georgia & I have known each other for quite some time on the internet, but we met in person a few years ago at Austin Food & Wine. After a couple of bourbons, I told her I’d always wanted to try hunting. She invited me to go with her in Arkansas that fall. Little did she know that I never say no to a cool opportunity. Maybe she was just being polite, but too bad, 'cause I said yes. So we went, and she guided me through my first hunt, where I ended up having to kill a dove with my bare hands, and I sobbed the entire time. 

Georgia never made me feel like less of a hunter because I cried. Quite the contrary—she showed me that there’s room for emotion and femininity in hunting. On today’s podcast, we talk about that, plus what it’s like to leave a fancy Wall Street job to follow your passion. 

This week, were going back. Aaaaalll the way back to Paleolithic times. Well, kinda.

I’ve got Michelle Tam, the lady behind the Nom Nom Paleo empire joining me. She’s a pharmacist-turned-food blogger who specializes in delicious and “lazy” paleo recipes (she’ll explain what that means). What’s crazy about Michelle’s story is that while she’s built a crazy-popular blog, an award-winning iPad app and recently launched her own podcast, the gal claims she’s a total technophobe. So how did she overcome her fear of technology? Hint: Google, and a tech-dabbling hubby. 

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “Do one thing every day that scares you.” 

She’s one of the most inspiring first ladies ever. So I took her advice. Facing my fears—both big and small—changed everything, and for the better.

This week, I met with laser tattoo removal expert Dusty Nelson about why you don’t have to have that tramp stamp forever. By the end of his interview, you might find yourself armed with the courage to finally say bye to that Chinese character you thought meant peace, but actually translates to old man cheeseburger.
