So, There I Am...50 Embrace Chaos and Let People Help You!Show Notes:I started to see a trend the last couple weeks while guiding this summer. Sometimes People are so intent on forcing the experience to happen a certain way that when it doesn’t, they feel like they have failed. Bad casts catch fish, not paying attention to the fly losses fish, not rolling with punches steals the joy. Embrace the chaos and enjoy the day. And when someone tries to help you, let them. If you don’t then you are denying the person, the ability to be helpful. But if you want to do thin...

Promotions and Sponsorships and Guide DiscountsShow Notes:This past week one of the people I have admired in the YouTube realm decided to hang it up for a while perhaps forever. His departure was sad for me, but I understand why. Doing podcasts and YouTube videos is very time consuming and if you don’t have a LOT of followers and subscribers you pay for everything. I do this because I love it. I recently found out that if you add links to things like Amazon for products you use you can get a small commission if people buy the item. I ad...

So, There I Am...Intro Episode So, There I Am...Stories are my favorite form of communication, and my favorite stories are those that get me to think, cry, laugh, or even change and adapt.

There will be stories from guests and s...
