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!

Cal Arnold.
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 he had been hiking the backcountry doing big powder-lines on his skis. Cal then ended up getting his private pilot's license and buying a badass Cessna 180 that I was kind of in a battle with him over trying to pick up, but he ended up getting it and then unfortunately crashed it.
He talks about his very serious health issues but his outlook is extremely positive and its motivating to be around how positive his perspective is. He's the kind of person who quite literally won't let anything come between him and his aspirations and it's clear in his business.
We really dive into where he came from, out in Minnesota, how he views life, and how he's gained the perspective he has. He runs a very very successful business here, very tight with his family. Cal's like the valuable people in life that I feel like everybody needs to draw something from. I mean, more than something from. Cal's an incredible human dive in and I'm really fortunate to know him and I hope you guy's really dive in and Listen. We had a good time and we're going to do it again soon! Enjoy.

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.

The Life In Full podcast is a deep dive into the mind of interesting people, their struggles and triumphs, upbringing, accomplishments, and what life events have impacted how they've developed into the people they are today.
