    Lessons from Pop Episode 1

    On this episode of lessons from pop we here from myself, my father Dave Foulds and Mark Hutchinson. All three lessons are valuable the first two focusing on deer hunting and the last one is more of a general lesson that can be applied to life. Although I would argue the first two lessons could be applied to everyday life as well.
