Life In Full
Hello everybody, today we've got Jake Bertelsen. Jake is probably the most intentional, most positive, most self motivated person I've ever met. I've got the great fortune to know Jake for almost exactly a year now and spending approximately 65 hours sitting face to face with him. Jake is a world class tattoo artist but he's got a story of grind, a story of grit, a very positive story of changing the way things are. Jake's has had a huge impact in the Whitefish community, is born and raised there,

Cal Arnold is a guy wanted to talk to for years now. I got to know I'm a few years back during winter archery league, and I then got to sit through a couple Aviation Ground Schools with him and he was always that guy that rolled in little bit late, hair frazzled, and flip flops. You’re like, “Dude, what does this guy do?” and you kind of wouldn't know. Then I shot with him again and winter archery league and it was kinda always implied that he was getting back from Hawaii or had been hiking the backco

The Life In Full podcast. These are stories of the quiet, confident, credible, humble, and approachable people, who for the most part, remain unknown. These are people who have a conscious intention in their own pursuits. I want to know their why, what equation in life built them, and unwind that common thread in these people who have that unidentifiable thing that makes them the outliers, while hearing about their lives lived in full.

Matt Clyde is a guy that if I was in the hunting industry, I would look up to. Matt’s not even in the hunting industry though. Matt is an absolute killer , I think maybe people in the industry do look up to him as an elite, I think if you were to whisper Matt’s name, everybody in the industry knows who he is. People may know him from killing the wolf on Randy Newberg’s show, probably 2012-13 ish. Matt’s hunting stories could probably go on for days, I’ll have to pass him off to Cody

Cody Rich. Cody's most famously known for his hunting podcast ,The Rich Outdoors, a very successful and really good podcast. I suggest if you are looking for some good hunting stories, head that direction. It’s good stuff and I listen almost daily if I can. Cody has a background in motocross, so we hit a chord when we met, so it was like that scene from Step Brothers, but he's also got a very interesting background in simulated military training that I had no clue about.

Koni Dole. He’s the MSU football player who ran onto the field a prosthetic leg. He’s the Home-Town hero of Huntley Project where him and his siblings were raised with that small town wherewithal that you get in small-town kids. I became really close buddies with Kong’s brother Kai and got to listen to stories of him growing up with Koni and getting into all the trouble they got into and the good times the've had. Kai would always speak of him, and light up with such endearment, that always left me ha

Jake Bertelsen.
Hello everybody, today we've got Jake Bertelsen. Jake is probably the most intentional, most positive, most self motivated person I've ever met. I've got the great fortune to know Jake for almost exactly a year now and spending approximately 65 hours sitting face to face with him. Jake is a world class tattoo artist but he's got a story of grind, a story of grit, a very positive story of changing the way things are. Jake's has had a huge impact in the Whitefish community, is born and raised there, and he still resides there. This is actually a kind of full circle life story that comes into play as this podcast rolls out. Jake’s a person who's come from one spectrum to the other. If the definition of success was to measure where somebody starts and where they currently are, Jake has got the biggest spread of anybody that I know. From being on the edge of suicide’s doorstep, or I guess one car swing away from suicide, to changing the lives of almost every person that he meets in a very positive way, I can't think of anybody who does it better than Jake. Jake's got an incredible family and probably the best father that I've ever met. His 4 kids and wife Kelly are amazing and we had the great fortune to have them come spend some time in our house, spend the night and stay up late having good conversations, go to dinner, and we just love them. They’re great, they're such good people. When it comes to outliers, I kind of always want to know what's the story there but as a normal tattoo artist you know Jake's covered in tattoos. He rolls around in a badass Tesla and big ass trucks and has nice toys and stuff but it all comes so humble with Jake. I think he'd be a great influence for anybody to meet. This conversation was incredible and we did 3.5 hours, it's really meaty, there’s a lot of self reflection, self help, a lot of stories on how this kind of came to be for Jake. So hang on it's a good one and I can't wait to have Jake back. He’ll have to be a recurring guest because he's got stories and new things always evolving, from cold exposure to how he handles his fitness. Jake is incredible person , so dive in and enjoy yourself. Thanks!
