I'm sure you've been hearing tons of buzz about A.I., and if you're anything like me it might seem a little scary... It sounds an awful lot like Skynet is coming for us... However, irrational fears aside, it is a HUGE technological breakthrough and is becoming increasingly accessible to the general public every day. My prediction is that in just a few short years it will be an integral part of doing business just like email on your smartphone. So why not start learning while it's still in its infancy? Here is a quick and oversimplified step-by-step guide to evaluating A.I. for your business. Investing a few hours into it now could save you days later on.

This one will really hit home for some of you! I know it does for me. This episode is all about addressing a problem that plagued me for years, that I struggled to figure out myself, and that I still struggle with today!

Our Story begins with one thing. Heart.

Blood Origins represents the HEART of many. They tell authentic stories focusing on the symbiotic relationship between hunters and nature. A platform that isn't about “self”, but about ensuring future generations enjoy the same beauty, adventure, and wonderment of our wild.

BLOOD ORIGINS IS A GLOBAL NONPROFIT WHOSE MISSION IS TO CONVEY THE TRUTH ABOUT HUNTING AND PROMOTE CONSERVATION EFFORTS.  WE DO THIS BY CREATING CONTENT AND SHARING STORIES THAT CONVEY THE IMPACT THAT HUNTING HAS ON PEOPLE, WILDLIFE, AND COMMUNITIES. Hunting (legally) requires GRIT. It is also an excellent opportunity to teach GRIT to our family and friends. Unfortunately, it is commonly misunderstood, and like with anything/everything, one rotten apple will spoil the whole bunch.

Please join us to learn more about the hunting industry's many positive aspects, including but not limited to building GRIT, conservation, research, tourism, employment opportunities, philanthropy, and more.
