    E148: Kyle Thowsen: The King Of Dog Training

    E148: Kyle Thowsen: The King Of Dog Training

    www.vegasvalleyk9.com



    Today we're talking to Kyle Thowsen, who has devoted his life to training dogs. From protection dogs, to family dogs, to dogs in the service, Kyle has seen it all. Join us for a great conversation about everything you wanted to know about dog training. Are some dogs unsaveable? Can you untrain bad habits? Does the most popular training method work?



    In his own words:



    Hey there! My name is Kyle Thowsen.



    I have been training dogs for 7+ years.



    I'm the only TWC Certified dog trainer In Nevada.



    My goal is to help dogs and owners live their best lives while enjoying as much freedom as possible.



    My training program focuses on the emotions of the dog and having a strong relationship with them. The dogs I train understand true control in the real world, not just a training room for a treat. This allows us to be off leash with our dogs and know they will listen even if they are excited or want to chase things like rabbits.



    I look forward to meeting you and your pups.

    E143: Patrick Barrientes on Family Life, Knife Fighting, and Alaska!

    E143: Patrick Barrientes on Family Life, Knife Fighting, and Alaska!

    Patrick Barrientes joined Scott Groves for a podcast featured on the Front Row Dads podcast, but we kept talking so we decided to make our own episode here!. Join us as we talk about the stigma of being a stay-at-home Dad, the benefits of living a rural lifestyle (in Alaska!) and how to trust your spouse’s instincts as a parent when lines are being drawn in the sand with household disagreements.



    You’ll also hear how he’s teaching his daughters to be strong women with jiu-jitsu and how one of them handled an older 5th grade bully with a double leg takedown and why it was the right move worthy of a high five!



    Afterwards, we'll go into knife fighting, boxing, jiu jitsu, life in Alaska, and more fighting stuff!



    A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…



    Letting your woman shine

    Happiness as a stay-at-home dad

    Who says girls can’t be tough?!

    Never keep score in your marriage

    The stigma of stay-at-home Dads

    Different parenting styles between Mom and Dad

    Clean bedrooms: Worth fighting about?

    Raising strong daughters in Alaska vs the city

    New perspectives when living in Alaska

    E141: Selling Homes In Las Vegas with Gershon Levy

    E141: Selling Homes In Las Vegas with Gershon Levy

    Everything about Las Vegas is fascinating, and that includes it's extremely dynamic Real Estate landscape.

    IG TT YT - Gershon.Vegas

    Live in the studio today we have Las Vegas Realtor Gershon Levy! Gershon grew up in the Las Vegas area after his family moved here from Israel, which we get into during the conversation. Since he’s lived in Las Vegas his whole life, he decided to start his Realtor career early, banking on the fact that the other locals he knows will find their own wealth and use him as a realtor. In today’s day and age, it’s just too difficult to essentially buy your way into the wealthy community, so Gershon built his community from scratch. Things are going really well for him and we’re excited to share this great interview with you!

    Joining us today is Daniel Edwards, who created a book publishing company Creative Texts. After interviewing Sean Liscom, author of The Ranch series, he suggested that I talk to his publisher, so here we are! Today we have a great talk about how the Amazon Publishing world works, what are considered big numbers and what aren’t, and ways to succeed in this relatively new industry of self publishing. We also get very deep into Daniel Edwards’ personal writing journey, which revolves around finding the truth about Billy The Kid. It turns out that this story is not as clear cut as many of us once thought!

Anyway, we jump all over the place, it’s a great chat, join us!

    Daniels Bio: Versatile executive with extensive North America and global experience with top tier companies such as Cracker Barrel, McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, Tim Hortons, and The Coca-Cola Company. Established record of building, leading, and operating businesses, within both large corporate and start-up environments. Strength in building high-performing, multi-functional teams. Leadership experience in diverse environments: Strong business and industry relationships from corporate to private equity and family office.
