The Nomad Strength Show

Today I'm joined by Richard Love aka Exit Comfort Zone on social media. This was a conversation I've been looking forward to for a long time after getting introduced by mutual friend and past guest of the show, Akira VanEgmond.

Richard has a very strong presentation on his platforms and I really wanted to get to understand the man behind the account.

We had a great time in this episode and I learned a lot about his time in athletics, then the Swedish Arctic Rangers, his journey to the states and meeting his wife, and why he trains the way he does.

Enjoy this episode and let it inspire you to EXIT YOUR COMFORT ZONE.

Hunting season is right around the corner, which means it's time to be getting plans made, gear acquired, and weapons dialed in.

As a new bowhunter, I have been relying on a lot of people much smarter than myself to help me feel prepared to hit the mountains this September, and my guest today is one of them.

Ben Eipert is a technical wizard and engineer for Vector Arrows, a company challenging the norm by building by building arrows custom to the customer's individual measurements and set up.

We had a great talk for today's episode and it was really educational for me. Ben explained a lot of the nuance that goes into getting your archery set up dialed in and what it really takes to be a successful hunter and shooter.

This will be a great episode for anyone wanting to learn more about the technical aspects of archery and setting up your bow.

Enjoy

We've probably all hit a point in our training where we feel like there's just no more energy or desire. Training hard for years can lead to burnout, and my guest today has a great story about how he overcame that himself and fell in love with training again.

John Parker is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, StrongFirst Elite, Beast Tamer, and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. John graduated from the University of California San Diego in 2008 with a degree in History and Spanish Literature. He has 15 years experience in the world of strength and conditioning and trains clients locally and worldwide.

He and I had a great conversation about coaching and running a business you love, as well as his journey back to enjoying his training, and the programs he's created to help others do the same.

There has always been a special connection between Man and Nature. It is innate; something we often can't explain.

Getting out and experiencing the stillness of the air and the sounds of the trees and animals cannot be replicated. When you add in the focus and adrenaline of the pursuit of an animal, there are things you feel that you can't explain.

Today I'm joined by Christian Williams of Archery Strong. Christian is a returning guest on the show and we get into some really fun conversation about the importance of hunting to us as humans, and men specifically.

Christian is a great coach who helps archers feel healthier and stronger so they can continue doing the thing they love. Be sure to give him a follow and enjoy this episode.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Rites of Passage for boys

An awesome hunting story from Christian

What being in nature means to us as men

I had the pleasure for today's episode of catching up with fantastic coach, and my friend, Greg Walsh of Wolf Brigade Gym.

This time around, Greg and I had a lot to catch up on, and as our conversations often do, we went down some rabbit holes. Through all of it we center around the idea of always finding small ways to improve ourselves, or "tinkering" as Greg says.

We covered a lot of ground, and still could have covered more, but I know that you'll enjoy this conversation.

HIGHLIGHTS:

-Greg fills me in on Convergence, the annual training and coaching gathering at Wolf Brigade Gym

-How Greg has been working through a fairly debilitating injury

-Why we must continue to pursue growth

-What have we learned in the last two years of oversight, censorship, and hypocrisy?

On this beautiful Independence Day, I figured about firearms, long range shooting, and becoming a proficient marksman was an appropriate episode.

I'm joined today by Sawyer Clark from Tier 1 Concealed. I have followed Sawyer's instagram for a long time now, because I'm fascinated by the skill of long range shooting, and he is sharing his experiences as he hones this craft himself.

This was a really fun conversation and a great reminder, especially on this holiday, to train to become competent and dangerous.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Sawyer's childhood and stories about how his love for shooting grew

Long range shooting experiences, and what he's learned about the skill

Ethical hunting and taking the best shot possible

Recent 2nd amendment rulings and wins

How to begin training for firearms proficiency
