Tom Rowland Podcast

Welcome back Dr. Joe Martin who was one of the first podcasts that we had on the podcast. Almost a year ago I met Dr. Joe Martin after a friend of mine told me they had heard the most incredible speaker. After their suggestion I reached out and after that first podcast Joe and I connect again and talk about connection during these social isolation times. This is a time where there is a real lack of connection and people are feeling the isolation and distance. Joe and I talk about ways that we can overcome fear and find relationship through the distancing. Follow along as Joe talks about opportunities and perspectives that will change the way you understand social isolation.

Today we are going over myths of world records as we sit down with Meredith who has over 180 world records. She has tons of world records on fly and she knows so much about the ins and outs of world records. There are lots of questions such as “Do you have to kill the fish?” or “What do you have to do as far as leaders and knots?” Well, listen up as Meredith leads us through the details of the IGFA and how to set world records. Setting an IGFA World Record requires an angler to follow very precise rules to document a catch. The leader has to be tied a certain way and the line that you use has to break at the correct poundage. Many people think it is impossible to set an IGFA World Record in fishing but it really is quite possible if you learn the rules. Meredith McCord has over 180 World Records and has learned through trial and error, advice from mentors and from the IGFA itself, how to play this game within the rules. She is happy to help other anglers to identify a record and set up their tackle to successfully set a world record. I have always been listening to suggestions for the podcast and today is a perfect example. Not only was it recommended that I sit down with the amazing Meredith McCord, but it has been a long time suggestion that I provide video podcasts. Today is the first skype interview that I have been able to video and it is with Meredith McCord. You can check it out on Waypoint and on YouTube.

Taylor Somerville was a guest on this podcast. Since then, Taylor has become an XPT Master Coach and has learned much more about breathing techniques. He has really learned how to help manage stress and help you make better decisions and be ready for whatever life throws at you through proper breathing techniques. “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵.” 𝘛𝘰𝘯𝘺 𝘙𝘰𝘣𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘴⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This is from Taylor to better understand his mentality and teachings: "Stress is a part of life; we can’t run and hide from it. We must learn how to handle it in productive manners. We must be willing to have those uncomfortable conversations. We must be willing to put ourselves out there and risk rejection and failure. Our ability to handle these situations in a calm, collected state will improve our success rate. If we do fail, our ability to bounce back as soon as possible will greatly improve the journey of life. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ What can we do to improve our response?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This is where the cold and the breath come into play. In the ice, we must let go. When we first step in, our heart rate increases, our breath is taken away and we begin to increase our breath rate out of panic. Our self-talk turns negative, “get out of here, you’re going to die!” This can become a vicious feedback loop of negative self-talk and a stress response in the body. It is no different than the anxiety we might have before a big meeting or presentation. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ We can learn to recognize this response in our body and stop it in its tracks with our breath. The first step is to gain control over our breath rate. Slow it down, inhale through the nose, and exhale out of the mouth. After 3 to 5 breaths, our heart rate begins to slow, our breath slows down and our thoughts slow down. The tension in our body releases and we are now calm and focused. With each successive stressful stimulus, it becomes easier and easier to recognize what is going on and take control of it before it happens.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Whether you are a c-suite executive, stay at home parent, a student dealing with the stress of school and peer groups, a first responder risking your life to help others, or an athlete that needs to focus in the big game, learning to be comfortable in these uncomfortable situations will go a long way in determining your level of success and fulfillment."

I had the chance to sit down with Captain Scott Walker from Into The Blue and ask about taking a boat to a new marina.

In our last installment of acronyms and nicknames in the Crossfit world, we are going over RFT. This is "Rounds For Time" and in this case we will use an example. Say you are doing a famous benchmark Crossfit workout called Helen - run 400 meters, 21 kettle bell swings, and do 12 pull-ups. You will do this 3 rounds for time. CrossFit workouts and many other types of workouts will designate how many rounds you will do. The "For Time" part means that you are going to complete that many rounds as fast as you possibly can. You track your finish times and you can see progress in your fitness. If you can do more work in less time then you are fitter by definition. This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV.

We have lockdowns going on with COVID-19 which leads me today to talk about physical health. I am certainly no expert on infectious disease. I do know that social distancing is a good idea right now and we are taking precautions at the office and in my house to be healthy. Taking precautions is one aspect (washing hands, social distancing) but the other part is staying healthy. In times like these it is easy to forget to be active in staying healthy. I am going to make sure that I get fresh air, sleep well, eat well and workout to most effectively maintain my immune system. This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV.

In Crossfit and other types of fitness there is often a language associated with each style. Someone new to it is easily confused and sometimes it is a turnoff. Continuing our series on Crossfit nicknames and acronyms, we are now covering "Chipper" workouts. These are a type of workout where many things required of you (pull-ups, moving a sandbag, etc..) and you will need to chip away at it until finished. A chipper workout is usually done for time.

As outdoorsmen we are always trying to take photos to remember a special day or a beautiful scene. Most of us are pretty disappointed in the result. The photos just don't look like we remember the scene to be, the fish looks small, the sunset isn't as colorful as it was and the subject has their eyes closed. Professional photographers pay attention to a few details that make photos instantly better. I was on a shoot with Jason Stemple and asked for his advice on a video I was making. His tips were on point and I realized they were different than the last time I had him on the podcast (listen here). So he joins me again today and next week for a two part series on how to improve your photography. This podcast will help you take better photos no matter what kind of camera you have; iPhone, DSLR or point and shoot. This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV.

Jordan Jonas was a cast member of the History Channel Show, Alone. The show sent a group of survivalists to the Arctic to compete for $500,000 in a last man (or woman) standing competition. Jordan outlasted everyone by making it 77 days. He killed a Moose with a bow on the show as well as catching many fish. He battled wolverines and the cold to make it to the end. Jordan and I discuss his experience as a Reindeer herder, hopping trains and traveling the country and spending quite a bit of time in Russia. All of these experiences helped him to acquire the skills to win Season 6 of Alone. Check Jordan out on social: @hobojordo Do a survival school with Jordan; "My goal is to impart the necessary skillset, knowledge and confidence to give anyone that goes through the course the best possible chance of thriving in the wilderness, should the need or desire arise."

I had the pleasure of joining Captain Scott Walker of Into the Blue Television show in his kitchen and he walked me through the way that he cans tuna. He does this so that he uses every bit of the Blackfin Tuna that he catches and nothing goes too waste. There are actually no cans involved. He uses Mason Jars and a pressure cooker to preserve the fish without the need for refrigeration for over a year. This is great for Hurricanes or simply to make sure that you use everything you catch. This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV.

Continuing the series about acronyms in fitness we move on to another one. Last week we spoke about EMOM and now we are talking about "Death By." The format for "Death By" workouts is that you will do 1 rep for the first minute, then 2 for the second minute and so on... You continue in this pattern until you can't keep up with the clock. These type of workouts can be applied to any exercise and also offer a way for you to track performance. If you do "Death By" for pull ups and make it to 10 minutes, then the next time you do it you can see if you can beat that and go to 11. You can also apply it to pushups or other easier exercises and do 3 per minute so it increases quicker (3, 6, 9...). This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV.

Hunter Bland was a college bass fisherman who has recently moved on to become a Bass Fishing Coach. We learned a little about Hunter a few weeks ago when he was on the podcast with the whole Florida Gateway College team but today we dive deep into his personal story. Hunter achieved some notoriety, but not in the most desirable way. He was ejected out of his boat due to a freak accident and he was lucky enough to not get run over by any boats during the start of a Bass Tournament. He was wearing his lifejacket so he made it out ok. Hunter is now using that experience to travel around to speak and educate people on water safety.

I have been on a mission to find a way that I can have a trolling motor system that will never run out of juice. This year has been a real game changer because Power Pole came out with a new charger that charges on the go and I have switched to Lithium Pro Batteries. So the idea is that I will never run out of battery juice. I needed some advice so I invited Joe Cubberley to come on the show. I have never met someone who knows as much about batteries as Joe. He was in the Navy and has worked with all different types of batteries. Joe goes over how to take care of each battery type to get the maximum amount of life and performance from it. He goes over everything from Lead-Acid batteries, to AGM batteries and the new Lithium Pro Batteries. You can learn more about the Power-Pole Charger HERE Learn more about Lithium Pro HERE Check out the HOW 2 TUESDAY with Joe HERE This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV.

Bouncer Smith is a legendary Sportfishing Captain in Miami, FL. Bouncer gives some excellent advice on setting the drag for all gamefish. Use a hand scale every time. Point the rod directly at the scale and pull back until the drag slips at 20% of the breaking strength of the line. Use the scale to observe how the drag changes as your customers or friends pull on the line and bend the rod Practice so much that you can know exactly how hard the angler is pulling by the bend in the rod simply by looking at the rod or feeling the pull with your eyes closed. Great advice from someone who knows their stuff! This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV.

I had the amazing chance to hop on a call with James who has not only been doing the 10k pushup challenge but has been recruiting others to join him. Listen in to hear about an entire office getting in on the challenge and some people who have never done consecutive pushups deciding to increase the amount they are doing for this challenge.

My challenge to you is to go follow 3 new positive accounts on social media that will encourage and empower you. Also, I would challenge you to then go and unfollow 3 accounts that are having negative effects on you. I would recommend checking out @nohlsen, @davidgoggins and @cameronhanes for motivation to better yourself daily and to get you through the February 10k pushup challenge.

This interview took place in Lake City, Florida where I got to sit down with a group of people who are starting a College Bass Fishing Team. Hunter Bland, Rob Chapman, Ron Ryals and legendary fisherman Shaw Grigsby. They talk about how they are going to start this team and how it will work for their college.

I got to talk to Chris Hessin who is taking part in the TRP Fitness Challenge of doing 10k pushups in February. He shares about how he is tackling the huge challenge and we also talk about the Miami Boat Show. If you are going to be down there, come by the Yellowfin booth and do some pushups with me.

After 16 seasons of Saltwater Experience we had our first Cobia show ever. It wasn't that we didn't like fishing for Cobia, or that we didn't know how, but it just never worked out. So after filming this show I thought it would be good to do a How 2 Tuesday on tips for fishing for Cobia.

Don't lose track of how many pushups you have done, download a spreadsheet to document how many you have done and how many you have left by CLICKING HERE. Some people have told me that they have been getting sore from all the pushups and my recommendation would be to try to change up how you are doing the pushup and how man you are doing. Keep your sets light and just do them frequently. After so many pushups with your elbows close, do some with your elbow out. Do some pushups with a narrow hand position and some wide. That will hopefully keep you from getting too sore.

With the daunting task of doing 10,000 pushups in a month I have been asked what are some of my favorite motivational books. Hopefully these books will inspire you and motivate you to keep pushing through this months challenge.

The February Pushup Challenge is underway and if you follow me on social media (@tom_rowland) then you know how many people are joining in on this. I'm really proud of everyone that has taken this huge task on and really pushed themselves so far. There are some tips that you should know when doing a challenge like this and I go into some ways to tackle a challenge like this without making yourself too sore or losing track of how many pushups you've done.

This podcast has been a long time coming, as Shaw has been on my list since the inception of this show. He has been an incredible helper and coach in my life. My first television exposure was due to Shaw Grigsby and he really brought me into the industry. After a few years, we decided to launch a show and Shaw was incredibly encouraging and even let us borrow his crew. He really cut the learning curve a lot and I've been forever grateful for that. After so many years Shaw has maintained that same level of teaching and encouragement with me and so many other people. He's truly and all-around great guy, I hope you enjoy this show with my long time friend, Shaw Grigsby. This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV.

Todays episode is coming from a Saltwater Experience shoot down here in the Florida Keys. One of the shoots we got to fish with Derek DeYoung and we went Barracuda fishing on the flats. In the wintertime, the barracudas will push up into the shallower water where they can ambush baitfish and make a living up there. For whatever reason, in the winter they really push up into the shallow water and in this situation I love to use a Floater-Diver-Plug.

The burpee is not someone's favorite exercise, and its actually something that most people really don't like to do. If you aren't familiar with the burpee exercise it is when you start on your feet and drop down to do a push up, then move back to your feet and jump up in the air and clap your hands above your head. I really like the burpee because it is something that you can do absolutely anywhere with no equipment. I recently heard that there is a correlation between your ability to get down and stand up and how long you'll live. If you're able to sit down and stand up without using your hands then that is a an indicator to your quality of life and length of life. But I think it is really a good indicator of your joint/muscle health and the burpee is helping those parts of your body as well.

Todays guest is someone who I've wanted to have on the podcast for some time. I heard him on a podcast a few years ago and he has an incredible story. Growing up homeless and catching rattlesnakes as a kid, going to finding wrestling and turning into an elite power lifter. All the while Chris excelled in his job which turned into a career in the Aerospace world. Chris Duffin is an incredibly intelligent person and has defied a lot of odds to end up where he is today. He recently wrote a book called The Eagle And The Dragon and he dives more into details about how he grew up. We got to talk about his book on this podcast and also we were able to connect because he made a post about which podcast to be on next. A lot of people commented that he should be on this one, so thank you for that! It was amazing to sit down with Chris and get to talk about his life and where he is today.

Two is one and one is none. That is to say that when you are packing it is best to pack two (especially if it is something cheap). Because you can't always know what will happen and having a back up will keep you prepared. For something like contact solution or sunglasses, it can really ruin your trip to go without, so why not just pack extra? For this episode I reflect on conversations with outdoor photographer Jason Stemple. Jason and I were talking on a recent shoot when this topic came up about how he packs. He is constantly on the road and he has photography equipment and fishing equipment he needs to be able to pack up quickly and effectively.

The 20 for 20 challenge is wrapping up with the end of January just around the corner and February kicks off the next #TRPFitnessChallenge. We will be doing pushups. This challenge is scalable from 1,000 to 3,000 to 10,000. The point of the challenges is to be building habits and we do that by doing something every single day. We've already knocked out 20 minutes a day for 20 days, so now we are making the challenge a little more difficult. Join the February Push-Up Club and by then end of it you can get a sticker or T-shirt!

One of my favorite fitness authors is a man named Ross Enamait. Ross runs www.rosstraining.com and has written several books. One of these books is called Never Gymless which shows the reader how to use the World as their gym. With this knowledge, you are never gym less just as the title suggests. One of my favorite workouts from his book is called the Interval Challenge and that is what we go over in todays’ episode. Find Ross on IG at @rosstraining or visit his website at www.rosstraining.com

We have had a lot of questions over the years about how to be comfortable around the water and I could think of no one better than a military dive instructor, Captain Scott Brown. We did a podcast recently with Scott's whole family talking about Hooked on Family and he returned today to tell us about how he is mentally and physically prepared for water. Also Scott shares how his kids are more comfortable because of his confidence.

The January Fitness Challenge of 20 minutes of exercise for 20 days straight is coming to an end. I was joined today by James Spaulding who has been a listener of the podcast and has kept up with the challenge. Also listen close as I announce the February Challenge at the end. Will you be joining me for February?

There is an example of character becoming destiny - imagine two boats. They are maybe in a race or setting out from the same port, and they look like they are going in the same direction. But they are a couple degrees off, and over time the boats start to get further and further away until they are out of sight. After enough time the two boats will end up in very different places. That is what this is about - the small changes that you make in your thoughts, words and habits will make huge differences in your character and your destiny.

I recently came across a video of a little kid casting under the mangroves and he catches a snapper while standing on a skiff. It reminded me of how I raised my kids and I reached out to Captain Scott Brown after watching this video of his son. I wanted to get him and his wife on the podcast, but it happened that his kids were also on the podcast. We talk about what it means to keep your kids outdoors and raise them in a wilderness environment. http://www.hookedonfamily.com - the hub of our operation, editorials and content on everything kid outdoors @hookedonfamily - instagram http://www.pushitgoodinshore.com - my weekend light tackle guide business @pushitgoodinshore - instagram Youtube channel - Hooked on family If you are wanting to join the fitness movement this year join the #TRPFitnessChallenge.

Often when I'm filming Into The Blue I am sitting on the anchor and waiting for something to happen. During this time I will talk with people like Jason Stemple and Jake Perry. On the last trip we were talking about different things that we could talk about on the podcast. One of the things that I took with me was eliminating twists in the anchor line. Some people might not experience this because you are using a certain kind of anchor or you are in shallow water. But one of the things that happens when you are offshore is you use an anchor retrieval ball. When you are set up with several hundred feet of anchor line it is very difficult to get right over the top of that anchor and just start pulling. You would just be pulling the anchor from the bottom up to the top and it would be a lot of work. So if you use an anchor retrieval ball, you can use the buoyancy of the ball to pull the anchor up. If you are interested in checking it out you can find one HERE.

A long-time listener of the Tom Rowland Podcast joins me today to talk about the TRP Fitness Challenge. Bryan Sears is 5 days into 20 for 20 and tells us about his exercises and how he gets them done while being a captain, guide and working for Mass Bay Guides. Bryan is a fisherman up in Massachusetts and also is big into fitness, so he was excited about the challenge and the comradery with the #TRPFitnessChallenge. Bryan’s mom owns a small gym and he has always been around a fitness lifestyle, but he was most excited about doing 20 days straight with no rest. Bryan’s family owns a charter company called Mass Bay Guides and he sometimes goes up into Canada for the Big Tuna which I would love to see one day. If you want to book Bryan or follow him on social you can visit @mbgbryan or @massbayguides. The January 20 for 20 fitness challenge is just 20 minutes of exercise a day, whatever it is, just do it for 20 days straight. If you are wanting to do the challenge you can tag #TRPFitnessChallenge, @tom_rowland and @saltwater_experience, I will put the video or picture up on my account.

Your Character is who you are deep inside. But it also is made up of all the things that you do, say and think and you can influence and change those things. Being a kinder person starts with your thoughts and ends with just being apart of who you are. Being a stronger, more positive, more artistic person, all comes from your thoughts. You have the power to influence your character.
