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.
Episode 163 | Jul 1, 2025Banned in Canada: Why Suppressors Are Safer Than You Think
Canada bans suppressors. But in the U.S. and Europe, they’re considered essential safety tools. In this episode, Travis Bader sits down with Kyle Grob of KGM Technologies, a leading U.S. suppressor manufacturer, to dismantle the myths, politics, and science behind silencers.
Kyle shares how suppressors became wrongly vilified, how health and safety data is driving legal reform in the U.S., and what Canadians are missing due to outdated, emotion-driven laws. From engineering accuracy to military adoption, Travis and Kyle dive into real-world implications, regulatory nightmares, and what it would take to make change in Canada.
This is not about stealth. It’s about safety, hearing protection, and common sense.
