Run a 10K at 80: Wayne Herring on Fitness, Protein and Business Sprints

And so how did that opportunity come up for him? Was it? You guys went hunting with a guide there and you just, it kind of happened organically that you started a relationship and they offered him a job

or? So I think how it happened for my son not to go, you know, like too far back, but he's about to turn 18, Jack.

And in 2020, I brought him to Colorado for the first time and we went fishing and camping and roamed the state.

And he picked up on my love of the state and it became, of course, his own and not mine.

So that's really how it started.

And he grew up around me in the organic farm and he's very handy and equipment oriented.

But then ultimately, a client of mine introduced me to Rocky Rivers Bend Outfitters, which is where he's working up in Meeker.

And, you know, relationships is what got to the point where he, um, after we did our drop camp hunt last year, he was in touch with the guide and Thomas handled everything.

I introduced them and I said, look, I'm not a helicopter parent.

You guys handle it from here.

Thomas wrote a cover letter that, um, mentioned Jeremiah Johnson in it and, um, uh, told him about, you know, his experience working on the farm at Southern desire to be in the mountains.

And so here he is.

Yeah.

Yesterday he was on a horse.

So that's the second time on the podcast that Jeremiah Johnson has been referenced.

Second time with me or other people? No, not with you.

With

somebody else.

And it was hunting related.

It was with Rich Lehman, my buddy and client who I hunt elk with.

Yeah.

And he said when we were hunting and it was eight degrees.

Uh-huh.

And it was frigid and it was on our fifth day.

So we, we hunted hard and it was on our fifth day of hunting in eight degree weather.
