Tom Rowland Podcast

Nick Davis is a firefighter and fly tyer from Bonita Springs, FL.  He is the co founder of 239 Flies, a shop that is thriving at the same time that so many other fly shops around the country are closing their doors.  Nick sat down with me and told the whole story of 239 Flies which was not only interesting but also motivating.  I particularly liked how he used creative thinking to present something in a completely new way that has resulted in much of his success.  We discussed some key principles which came from a book that we have both read called the E-Myth and how he applied those lessons very successfully to his business.  Nick’s story of entrepreneurship can be applied to just about any other business as we agreed that the path he chose was very likely the least profitable path the world has ever seen.  Despite this, 239 Flies is a thriving business with a loyal following.Find them on Instagram: @239FliesWebsite: https://239flies.com/Phone: 239-908-3513Nick also Joined us for a How 2 Tuesday.

Michael Medrano is an angler and author who recently published a book on the Stilt Houses of Texas. Together with the photographer, Tim Romano, they traveled the entire Intracoastal waterway in Texas by boat, knocking on the doors of the homes found along that path—over 400 doors to be exact.Nowhere else in the country does a community exist where homes are constructed on stilts and placed in the water. Stilt Houses of Texas takes you on a photographic adventure to explore the State-run program in the breathtaking bays along the Texas coast.Tom and Michael were first acquainted on the remote flats of Christmas Island as they were both taking their boys of similar ages on a graduation trip. They fished together the entire week and became fast friends. You can find and buy the book at https://www.stilthouses.com or follow Michael on Instagram @stilthouseThis episode is brought to you by these great sponsors:Barracuda Tackle - Makers of the best cast nets on the market BarracudaTackle.comGet 30% off any order on Hukgear.com by using the code SE30 at checkoutGet 20% off + free shipping on products from Manscaped.com by using the code TRPKettle and Fire make Bone Broth that is Whole 30, Paleo and Keto Friendly.  It is made from Grass-fed and grass-finished beef bones, organic pasture-raised chicken and is Non-GMO.  It contains all the essential nutrients your body needs to thrive like collagen, protein, and amino acids.  Cooking your own is messy and time-consuming.  Go to Kettleandfire.com/waypoint to get yours delivered straight to your door.This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

We have discussed workout acronyms before on this podcast.  EMOM stands for Every minute On The Minute.  This means that the athlete starts at the top of the minute and completes a task, for example, 15 burpees.  If this takes 30 seconds to complete the athlete has 30 seconds of rest before having to start again with another 15 burpees. This would be an example of a single movement in the EMOM format.  To offer some variety and to possible work in teams of 2, you can also incorporate an Alternate EMOM or ALT EMOM workout.  An example of this would be 15 burpees, 15 Row calories. One athlete can do burpees while the other can do the row. They will switch at the top of each minute and continue for a period of time designated.You can do this with any 2 exercises.  To find your reps, test the exercise on the clock.  You are looking for the reps that you can complete in 30 - 40 seconds when fresh.  Combine that with another exercise that you tested as well.  Set the time you want to go and hit it.Here are some examples of workouts I did last week in this format:Row/BurpeeEvery 1 min for 30 mins, alternating between:15 Row (calories)s15 BurpeesRow/DeadliftEvery 1 min for 10 mins, alternating between:15 Row Calories5 Deadlifts | 225 lbs15 Row Calories4 Deadlifts | 275 lbs15 Row Calories3 Deadlifts | 275 lbs15 Row Calories2 Deadlifts | 295 lbs15 Row Calories1 Deadlift | 295 lbsEvery 1 min for 9 mins, alternating between:Ring Support Hold, 30 secsBar Hang, 30 secsHandstand Hold, 30 secsKettlebell swings/Burpees and V upsEvery 1 minute for 20 minutes15 Kettlebell Swings, 53 lbs15 BurpeesBurpees for first 10 minVups 2nd 10Sandbag/Shuttle RunEvery 1 min for 10 mins, alternating between:10 Sandbag Over ShouldersShuttle Run, 100 mLet me know how these go for you.  If you come up with your own, send them to me at podcast@saltwaterexperience.com.  I'll try them!This episode is brought to you by these great sponsors:Barracuda Tackle - Makers of the best cast nets on the market BarracudaTackle.comGet 30% off any order on Hukgear.com by using the code SE30 at checkoutGet 20% off + free shipping on products from Manscaped.com by using the code TRP at checkoutKettle and Fire make Bone Broth that is Whole 30, Paleo and Keto Friendly.  It is made from Grass-fed and grass-finished beef bones, organic pasture-raised chicken and is Non-GMO.  It contains all the essential nutrients your body needs to thrive like collagen, protein, and amino acids.  Cooking your own is messy and time-consuming.  Go to Kettleandfire.com/waypoint to get yours delivered straight to your door.This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

“There are better things ahead than any we leave behind”-C.S. LewisThis quote was meaningful to me today as I decided to turn off many of the ads that are running on the podcast.  After some thought, I made this decision based on trying to maintain the highest quality possible.  Of course, for anything to be sustainable, some revenue must be generated.  This comes in the form of ads.  However, too many is too many so I am going to turn off the low paying ads and put back on my sales hat and bring in sponsors that are more in line with the content.  Sponsors like Barracuda Tackle.  We are also on day 76 of the burpee challenge which means that we have done 3419 burpees so far and have 2124 remaining.  Stick with it and bring home the win!Barracuda Tackle - Makers of the best cast nets on the market BarracudaTackle.comGet 30% off any order on Hukgear.com by using the code SE30 at checkoutGet 20% off + free shipping on products from Manscaped.com by using the code TRP at checkoutKettle and Fire make Bone Broth that is Whole 30, Paleo and Keto Friendly.  It is made from Grass-fed and grass-finished beef bones, organic pasture-raised chicken and is Non-GMO.  It contains all the essential nutrients your body needs to thrive like collagen, protein, and amino acids.  Cooking your own is messy and time-consuming.  Go to Kettleandfire.com/waypoint to get yours delivered straight to your door.This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

Our 100-day burpee challenge is a good analogy for life in general.  Take a massive amount of work and stare it down.  It is easy to become intimidated and quit.  However, successful people don’t do it that way.  Winners look at that work and start to break it into manageable pieces.  They use momentum to begin to accept and overcome larger challenges along the way and before they know it they have accomplished the task that once seemed so daunting.  This challenge is much the same.This episode is brought to you by these great sponsors:Barracuda Tackle - Makers of the best cast nets on the market BarracudaTackle.comGet 30% off any order on Hukgear.com by using the code SE30 at checkoutGet 20% off + free shipping on products from Manscaped.com by using the code TRP at checkoutKettle and Fire make Bone Broth that is Whole 30, Paleo and Keto Friendly.  It is made from Grass-fed and grass-finished beef bones, organic pasture-raised chicken and is Non-GMO.  It contains all the essential nutrients your body needs to thrive like collagen, protein, and amino acids.  Cooking your own is messy and time-consuming.  Go to Kettleandfire.com/waypoint to get yours delivered straight to your door.This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.
