For this week's podcast, I want you to meet a great man by the name of Tom Pannell. I had the pleasure of meeting him while I was in Bozeman MT. He shared some amazing stories with me. Some about Tom Dorrance, one about how he became recognized for having an incredible ability around Mules (which gave him the nickname, The Mule Sniffer), and much more. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did.

High pressure situations are usually not the optimal time for fixing a problem.
