That's really what I help people work through, and that can be very powerful.

I, I think, so just speaking from my personal thing, you know, I was telling you, things don't work as well as they used to, and so I used to be the guy in the gym, you know, like, I'm not a small dude, and people look at me now and they're like, "Okay, you talk about fitness a lot, but you don't look that fit." But here's the deal.

You know, I used to be the guy in the gym, you know, I was lifting 350 pounds bench press, and you know, I, I did all that stuff, and I was squatting, like, 500 pounds, that kind of stuff.

When you start, as you age, you, frankly, I'm just gonna, uh, this is non-qualified advice.

Don't do that as you age, because your joints, your ligaments can't handle it.

Here's my problem.

I have this, it's dumb, I know it, but I have this ego thing.

Done, no problem." So we took something in her mind that was like this big hairy block on this idea of like, "Well, I can't possibly do both," and then it's like as simple of just thinking of something, which I know to us hindsight it sounds so obvious, but just realize that you probably have 10, 20, 50 specific habits where we could unblock something that easily for you too in your life.

So what led you to co-founding Pistol Creek with Austin? So

I love sharing this story.

Okay.

Okay, first of all, it – Stay checked in because it may ramble a little bit at the beginning, but I hope I bring it home and hit it.

You're in good company.

What we're going to – what I'm telling you is what we call the gospel of Pistol Creek.

Okay.

This was followed by my election as Chair in late

2025.

I'm John Browning.

i've been a member of good samaritan education for nearly twelve years and was for seven years a member of the governing council i've had the privilege of a close relationship with three of our colleges stella maris mount st benedict and santa maria I was born in 1950, and in my life I've seen enormous changes.

Through it all, I think that underpinning this was a sense of social stability and predictability, even though the rate of change has continued to accelerate, particularly in technology.

We recognise that change is a constant, but I suspect that we are now entering a period of seismic change that could overturn many things that we have become familiar with in society, the economy, the environment, politics and international affairs.

All of these now seem to be in a simultaneous state of crisis and it's very difficult to predict where it will all end up.

So in the midst of all this, what are the challenges for GSE and its schools? Well, I've just been reading Pope Leo's encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, and he outlines three particular challenges for schools, which I think are very relevant to us.

It's not as comfortable as, you know, uh, t- a T-shirt and jeans, you know?

Yeah.

I'll put, I'll put one on, you know, if it really makes you happy and I get along with you really, really well, but that's pretty far in between.

[laughs] And most people don't care.

I found most people really don't care.

They just want to make sure they're getting great service and a great value.

Uh, so we talk that through, and if, if both sides decide, "Hey, this is something I want to continue," we have another meeting.

Yeah.

S- g- give us kind of a, kind of a rundown of- of what people can expect as far as the- the multiple turkey calling competitions you guys have going on.

Yeah, so, uh, we- we started it last year with what we call the Masters, and the Georgia State, uh, competition will also, uh, be going on.

That'll be on Friday.

Um, so any Georgia resident with a NWTF membership, and we can sign you up there if you don't have one, can come compete.

We have a division in the Georgia State, uh, competition that anybody could- could enter.

Uh, if you've never called in one before and you're over 21 years old, we have a hunters division for you to get in.

And- and, uh, you never know, you could be the- the Georgia State h- uh, hunter division champion.

Uh, what, what's it like putting all that together for y'all?
