For the first time on The Spaniard Show, I'll be AMX'ing a book that I listened to rather than read. I recently "read" Trevor Noah's "Born a Crime", an incredible book that includes so many important human experiences and covers a wide variety of important subjects. This is special for 2 reasons: 1. Trevor's book is awesome, and 2. By Audible'ing books, I can bring additional awesome learnings to...

Sit back and enjoy this recap of a bunch of newbie hunters getting their feet wet in the woods. Fortunately, we were led by our avid hunting pal Jimmy, my dad Butch's old hunting stories and some toasty fires (inside and out). We came back empty handed with no deer, but the weekend was full of awesome memories (and a terrible one for one of us). We're going back to our roots in this one! For more...
