Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Nothing worth having comes easy in this life, and since
falling in love with hunting, I recognize that success in
the field is no different from success in sport. Preparation
is everything. In Pursuit is the latest show from the
Meat Eater podcast network where we apply the lessons I've
learned from two decades of training and ten gold medals

at the cross of the games. We're stingy. I'm your host,
Rich Frohning, inviting you to listen in on my conversations
with fitness and hunting experts, industry leaders, coaches, athletes, and
even some of my mentors as we highlight the connection
between fitness and the back country.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
We have Monster Moosa mile up the ridge and they won't.
They're like, I'm tired, I want to hike. I'm like,

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah right, I mean that's what you guys are doing
that We need one more rep How are you going
to get it? I'm a passionate hunter, but far from
a professional one, and I've got a lot to learn.
These conversations bridge the gap between my passion for spreading
fitness and my thirst for knowledge of the outdoors. Experiences

the gym uniquely prepares us for any challenges we may

face in the real world, like the grind of heavy loads,
steep mountain sides, dense forests, and icy rivers. We aim
to grow alongside a new breed of hunter that's emerging,
the ones who recognize that success in the wild demands
more than skills with a rifle or a bow. The
good news, I'm confident your chances of filling the freezer

(01:33):
will increase if you follow our advice. The bad news,
you might need to buy some new camo after you
drop some fat and gain some muscle. Listen to In
Pursuit starting August fourteenth on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
