Read MoreIf you have problems with your knees or knee pain, you need to listen to this podcast. I guess today says that 80% of the people that get a total knee replacement did not need it.
Dr. Kevin Stone specializes in partial and biologic knee replacements. Kevin has developed a new way to fix injuries like ACL and meniscus tears, and I wanted to hear all about it. We also talk about some experimental solutions for the future, including taking parts from animals to make us even stronger than we were from the start. This is a very interesting one, so make sure to stay all the way to the end.
Dr Kevin Stone’s book “Play Forever” releases December 14th on Amazon, so be sure to be on the lookout for that next week.
Read MoreOn How 2 Tuesday we often go over very technical aspects of the outdoors. Today we will go over something a little different but possibly even more important. How to set a goal and accomplish it without getting overwhelmed.
This may be running your first marathon, entering your first tournament, changing jobs, following your passion and becoming a fishing guide or really any big, epic goal.
Today’s guest who will offer some perspective on this is Alyssa Amos Clark who ran 95 marathons in 95 days and also recently set the Women’s Fastest Known Time on the 350 mile Pinhoti Trail.
Read MoreI have often talked about the Deck of Cards workout on this podcast and it is certainly a really fun, engaging workout. However, I have had an issue with the cards blowing away in the wind. So I decided to modify that workout and come up with the Dice Game. Lots of other people have probably had a similar idea, but this is how I did it and you can too.
Read MoreYour thoughts will influence your words, which determines your actions. Your actions will define your habits which make up your character. Your character will determine your destiny. Learn to master your thoughts.
In this 6 part series we will go over each of these evolutions beginning with how your thoughts influence your words.
It is very difficult for us to have complete control over our thoughts. Our thoughts often run wild and sometimes when you are in a difficult situation you have some thoughts that you might fail or you might think you aren’t good enough. Most of the time you can dismiss them, but there is a serious change when you speak that you are going to fail or that you “can’t do it.”
Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your character, and your character determines your destiny.
If we can become aware that we can control our thoughts that is the first step to being able to choose the positive thought that will move you forward rather than allowing your inner voice to tell you unproductive things. If thoughts are left unchecked, they can become words and you can actually speak things into existence. On this episode we dive in on your thoughts.

Read MoreYour thoughts will influence your words, which determines your actions. Over time, your actions will define your habits. It is these habits, either good or bad, that will create your character. Your character determines your destiny.
There is an example of character becoming destiny - imagine two boats. They are maybe in a race or setting out from the same port, and they look like they are going in the same direction. But they are a couple degrees off, and over time the boats start to get further and further away until they are out of sight. After enough time the two boats will end up in very different places.
That is what this is about - the small changes that you make in your thoughts, words and habits will make huge differences in your character and your destiny.
It is important to note that your destiny is not predetermined. By the thoughts, words, actions and habits, we develop our character. Our character ultimately determines our destiny. This is all within your control.
Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your character, and your character determines your destiny.

Read MoreThis is part 5 of our 6 part series. This week we will be talking about Character. Last week we talked about how your habits and how that shapes your character and this week we are focusing on that, and how your character ultimately determines your destiny. Character is defined as the mental and moral qualities of an individual. Many people say that character is who you are when nobody is watching. Once we form good habits in our lives that will help develop our character in a positive way.
Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your character, and your character determines your destiny.

Read MoreCatch and Release has been a great thing for conservation, few would argue that. However, some people mishandle fish before release which could be killing them and cancelling out all good intentions of release. A listener asked if I would do this show on how to properly handle fish intended for release. I was a little hesitant at the time because each fish that we fish for requires a slightly different technique. I wasn’t sure if I could effectively communicate, through audio only, the proper way to handle fish. I gave it a whirl anyway and hope it is helpful, if you want to know more please email me and I would be happy to provide any details that were missed in the podcast.
The whole idea behind catch and release is that you let it go to contribute back to a healthy fishery by reproducing and such. You are not helping yourself if you are handling the fish in a way that will harm the fish so that it can’t contribute to the environment. Now, there are times where you might want to eat fish and there is certainly a place for keeping fish within the limit and the law - but there are species that we try to release and here are some things that we can go over:

The actions you take will, over time become habits. Habits are things you do repeatedly and as we have talked about in previous episodes, your habits are influenced by your actions. As we move through this 6 part series it becomes more and more obvious that each aspect of the Lao Tzu quote is built on the one before it. Today we talk about how your habits become your character. These can be good, productive habits or bad, destructive habits. Many don’t realize this but whether you have bad habits or good habits that is really your choice. That choice begins with the thoughts you choose. Those thoughts set off a chain reaction that ultimately determines your destiny.
It is important to note that your destiny is not predetermined. By the thoughts, words, actions and habits, we develop our character. Our character ultimately determines our destiny. This is all within your control.
