147: Self-Mastery through Bow Hunting | John "Dud" Dudley

Self-mastery is something I talk about a lot. There are a ton of external sources that seem to be fighting against us at any given time but, even worse than that, is that we seem to be our own worst enemy at times. The best way to combat that is to learn to master your natural tendency to do things you know you shouldn't. Today, I'm joined by my friend, John Dudley, to talk about archery which, at first glance, doesn't seem to have to do with self-mastery. But that couldn't be further from the truth. The amount of dedication and discipline this man has towards become a master of his craft is inspiring and something we can all learn from. We talk about becoming a more well-rounded man, the power that comes from honing a craft, why coach-ability is critical, becoming a lifelong learner, and how to master yourself through bow hunting. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Connecting with nature through bow hunting Becoming more a well-rounded man Taking ownership of your life The power that comes from honing a craft Why coach-ability is critical Ethical responsibilities we have The value of knowing where your food comes from Where training comes into play The relationship between want and waste Why repetition is so important Being a lifelong learner Holding yourself to a higher standard JOHN DUDLEY Guys, I'm stoked to bring you this conversation with one of the most qualified men to talk with you about mastery and discipline. I recently picked up archery and, in fact, I harvested my first deer earlier this year. I underestimated what it would take to make that hunt a success but a lot of what I learned, I learned from my guest, John Dudley. He's been involved in archery since he was 10 years old (he talks about his first hunt) and since went on to shoot professionally for 20 years with over 120 events worldwide including gold and silver medal with the US archery team. He's dedicated his life to archery and you're going to hear the passion in his voice as he is striving to become a master in his and show us how to master ours.   Please leave us a review at http://orderofman.com/itunes Shownotes: http://orderofman.com/147 Website: http://orderofman.com
