My guest on the Move The Chains Podcast this week is my buddy Brian Barney, a professional bowhunter who writes for Eastman’s Hunting Journal and hosts the Eastman’s Elevated Podcast. 

We discuss Brian's journey of turning his love for hunting into a lifestyle, the importance of self-investment, overcoming fear, and achieving financial freedom. Brian shares insights on developing an unbeatable mindset, mastering skills, maintaining a positive attitude, and the significance of timing and strategy in both hunting and life. He emphasizes the value of consistency (Move The Chains!) and hard work in pursuing your goals, and shares actionable tips for you to improve any and every area of your life.
