If you’re a bowhunter, your success this fall starts right now. In this episode, I break down why the next 4 months, from June through September, are the most important prep window of the year.


Whether you’re brand new to bowhunting or have a few seasons under your belt, this episode will help you make smart moves all summer long.

  • The real reason summer matters more than most hunters realize

  • What to focus on right now (and what can wait)

  • Why gear testing and layering should happen now, not in October

  • My summer scouting plan and how I apply the 80/20 rule

  • The simple checklist that keeps your season on track

  • Lightweight layering advice for hot-weather missions

  • Why most hunters screw up their early-season plan — and how to avoid it

“You don’t have to do everything. But if you do the right things now, your chances go way up when October hits.”

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
