Episode 165 | Aug 12, 2025The Trade Gap Is Killing Us - Here’s What No One’s Talking About
Zach Hanson was thriving in the world of AI and big tech...until the layoffs came. Two mortgages, a family to support, and no job in sight, he did what few with a white-collar background ever dare: he turned to trapping to survive. In this raw and timely conversation, Zach reveals how losing the comfort of corporate life reconnected him to skills that most of society has forgotten, skills that may be our only hedge in an uncertain future.
Travis and Zach explore what it means to be truly self-reliant in a world increasingly propped up by fragile systems. From welding school to wolf trapping, from modern brain rot to the mental health cost of career fragility, this is a conversation about grit, identity, and rediscovering the value of getting your hands dirty. Zach's new book, The Trade Gap, might just be the blueprint for how to stay human in an AI-powered world.
Episode 165 | Jul 29, 2025What Are You Really Chasing? Ron Spomer on Ego, Legacy, and the Soul of the Hunt
Ron Spomer has hunted wild terrain across six continents, tested elite gear, written thousands of articles, and shaped how generations think about the outdoors. But none of that explains the man behind the rifle.
In this rare and deeply personal conversation, Travis Bader sits down with the legendary outdoorsman to ask what no one else does: What’s he really been chasing?
Ron opens up about the quiet moments that changed him, the ego traps of the industry, and why the biggest threat to hunting today isn’t anti-gun activists, it’s our own disconnection from nature, each other, and ourselves.
They dive into legacy, ethics, spiritual frequency, and the kind of beauty that doesn’t need a trophy photo to matter. This episode will change how you see the wilderness, and your place in it.
Episode 164 | Jul 15, 2025Why You’ll Freeze in a Crisis... and How to Stop It
What do elite performers, world-class cops, and Olympic athletes have in common? They train the mind as hard as the body. In this mind-expanding conversation, Travis Bader is joined by Jeff Johnsgaard, veteran police officer, Force Science Institute consultant, and founder of Training on Purpose by Design.
Jeff has taught use-of-force and high-stakes performance across four continents and multiple tier-one units. But in this conversation, he pulls back the curtain, not just on tactics, but on the mental software upgrades that determine who thrives in danger and who shuts down.
You’ll learn:
How to reframe fear as fuel.
Why most training creates failure under real pressure.
The shocking truth about “slow trigger presses.”
How elite operators pre-live critical incidents through mental rehearsal.
Why your body can’t tell the difference between imagining and doing.
What’s wrong with the way we teach cops, kids, and executives, and how to fix it.
This one isn’t just for shooters or law enforcement. It’s for anyone who wants to perform better when it counts.
