    Scott Volquartsen - Volquartsen Firearms

    Got to sit down with Scott Volquartsen of Volquartsen Firearms! I met Scott a few years ago at WinterStrong 3 put on by Sorinex Outdoors. Scott and his company provide all the firearm for the shooting events at WinterStrong. Scott is a husband, father, and incredible businessman in an industry that is growing ever more polarizing. We got into quite a few topics on this episode and I really enjoyed just hearing more of his story and how they run things at Volquartsen Firearms. Hope you guys enjoy it. I did!

    Kurt Hester - Mentality, Madness, and a Gator

    In this episode I sit down with the Madman himself, Kurt Hester. Kurt is the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for Tulane Football. The Green Wave is coming off of a historic turnaround. In 2021, Tulane posted a 2-10 record. Coach Hester was hired in the off-season and helped to change the culture in the locker room. That change resulted in a 12-2 record in 2022 capped off by a New Year's Six birth in the Cotton Bowl where Tulane beat the heralded USC Trojans and their Heisman Trophy winning QB, Caleb Williams. Trailing in the fourth quarter, Tulane scored 16 points in the final four minutes of play. Even more impressive, ESPN's prediction metrics gave the USC Trojans a 98.7 percent chance to win the game with 31 seconds left. The Tulane Green Wave would go on to score the winning touchdown with seconds left to play. Coach Hester details the mentality that they have pushed for the players to adapt: NEXT REP. We also get into a little of his background and how he honed his personal process and style of coaching from some great mentors and overcoming some of his own mental struggles. Kurt is a phenomenal guest and a fantastic story teller, especially the one where he released a live alligator into a weight room full of athletes on squat max day! Kurt is one of a kind and a legend in the field of Strength and Conditioning. If you want to hear more of Kurt's amazing stories (and there are A LOT of them), he wrote a book entitled Rants of a Strength and Conditioning Madman that is available for purchase on amazon! Hope you guys enjoy this one. I sure did!
