This week's episode I tell you a bunch of stories from where I grew up. From 1995 to 2020 I lived on the Leech Lake Indian Reservation.
I met many amazing people throughout my time there. People that I will cherish in my heart forever. I still go back from time-to -time to visit, fish, & hunt.
I would like to give you some stories from the past of the LLBO along with my thoughts of the current situation of not only Leech Lake but any reservation that is in this beautiful country of ours.
Many of my thoughts and opinions have not always been the most popular at times but they are what I believe to be true. I will never be scared to express my views and am always willing to learn from anyone and everyone. Thank you for listening.
This podcast episode wraps up maybe the craziest weekend of my life lol.
Two days before I conducted this interview I made a post on my personal facebook page that caught outrage. Many people judged it without knowing who I am and began to shred me apart.
After seeing so much of it I set a challenge out there for anyone who disagrees with my post to hop on my podcast and lets have an open debate. I had two people (out of hundreds) take me up on the challenge. Josh was one of them.
He was brave enough to do something that he had never done before and that's do a podcast interview. I think that is awesome.
We had a civil conversation. I believe it went very well for both of us. It's worth the listen too.
In this episode, we listen to Admiral William H. McRaven give us some very good pointers on how to live our lives including why it's important to make your bed in the morning and how to defend yourself from a shark.
These two things might seem totally unrelated, but they are complete guides to living a meaningful life.
We listen to his commencement speech at the University of Texas (2014) and then we break down some of the metaphors that he used in it. Then I give you examples of my life and when I had to punch a shark in the snout.
Join me today as I bring you through the process of how my mind has been evolving throughout the years and how I LOVE it!
I touch up on a hug issue that's going on globally right now and ask the question of how much do you really know what is going on or are you being told to know what's going on?
Throughout the years I've taught myself to question everything. That is a scientific way of thinking. TO never take anything at face value but to try to get to the root of what it is the you are consuming to see if it has legs or not.
So enjoy this episode and always know that these are my opinions.
I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.
The MVP's 1st guest! Meet Deryk Faber (owner of Scarlett Arrow) and listen to him give some great tips about credit.
