The first "solo episode" of Fall Obsession Podcast. For 185 episodes, each and every one has consisted of a conversation between a host and one or more guests. Despite some reservations about recording a one-man podcast, show host Sam Thrash breaks the normal mold and hops behind a microphone by himself. The last thing Sam wanted was to pick a random topic just for the sake of just recording a podcast. He believes an episode like this should carry some weight and be worth the listen. What Sam chose to speak about is raw, authentic, and comes from the heart; talking vulnerably about his personal struggles as a podcast host, a show producer, a business owner and balancing it all with being a family man and a firefighter. In a busy life, and one with multiple passions or "identities" has he references, it is easy for those passions to turn to pastimes. Balance becomes key, drive and work ethic are required, and healthy encouragement and influences go farther than ever before on the path to overcoming and succeeding.

A small side-gig turned full-time job has proven to be nothing but rewarding and humbling for our friend Mark Zorich. Mark is a military veteran and former SWAT sniper and the very first winner of our Veteran Hunt Giveaway in 2021. While working in law enforcement, he started West Coast Long Range Precision Shooting; teaching shooters and hunters how to increase their proficiency with a rifle and build confidence shooting long ranges. Little did he know the impact his side hustle would have. Mark joins us to talk about the journey of growing his own company, the fundamentals and mission of WCLR, some west coast hunting, and more. This is a wholesome conversation with a great outdoorsman and a great human who has worked hard to make his passion his job, and vice-versa.
