Ep. 3: Joel Turner - Masterclass on Mental Control for Archery and Life

Join Rich Froning as he sits down with former Navy SEAL Ian Schinelli for a deep dive into preparation, pressure, and what it takes to stay ready when it matters. From marathon and swim events for the SEAL Foundation to the realities of SEAL training, Ian breaks down how running, swimming, and thousands of reps built the foundation he needed long before stepping into BUD/S. He explains the shock of Hell Week, the mindset that keeps you from quitting, and why controlling your head is more important than controlling your body.

The conversation turns to shared suffering—how CrossFit, hunting, and even long mountain days create the same kind of bond Ian found in the military. He and Rich talk about balancing training with real life, why community makes hard things possible, and what happens to your calm under pressure when the chaos hits.

Ep. 19: Ian Schinelli - Becoming a Navy SEAL and the Importance of Mental Resilience

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/be5547e2-2f3a-44ae-b7e4-b39c0167471b/transcript

On this episode of In Pursuit, Rich heads to Texas with Watkins and Scott for a whitetail trip that turns into a crash course in ranch life, management tags, and making good shots under pressure. They walk through the buck that got away, the hog that didn’t, and the perfect heart shot that somehow left almost no blood on that dry Texas ground.

They get into hunting over corn, how Stealth Rig and the crew manage 25,000 acres for better genetics and herd health, and what it feels like to leave knowing there were still tags on the table. If you care about bowhunting, meat in the freezer, and learning from both good shots and bad ones, this one is worth the listen.

Join Rich Froning for a lively episode with Dale Brisby, the cowboy comedian and rodeo hand known for turning ranch life into pure entertainment. Dale shares everything from announcing wild Can-Am races to fixing ranch problems, chasing mules, dealing with skunks, and surviving the daily chaos that comes with horses and small-town living. 

Rich and Dale get into how fitness fits into ranch work, why elk hunting has become a yearly reset, and what really happens on guided hunts and private land. Dale talks about running with Cam Haines, learning jiu-jitsu, and heading into Arizona to help the Navajo Nation rope wild maverick cattle — one of the craziest experiences he’s ever had. 

It’s an episode full of humor, honesty, and stories only someone like Dale can tell.
