Tom and Doug are joined in studio by Mike McGowan. Mike's father started a landfill operation in the 60's that straddles I 35W in Burnsville. Coincidentally, the property abuts Walser Experienced autos and would have been a great site for the new Subaru Dealership. The problem is that despite following the state and federal rules, the state and more specifically the PCA has waged a multi-generational war against the family. We talk about a similar problem Walser faced with an arbitrary eminent domain issue forcing us to relocate from our Richfield campus to our current facilities in Bloomington.

The air is filled with excitement here at Skydive Arizona. The drop zone is buzzing with activity as teams from all across the globe finish up last minute preparations for the upcoming World Cup of Formation Skydiving and Artistic Events. During a break in training with Arizona Airspeed, I was able to sit down and have a conversation with legendary free fall photographer and videographer, Mike Mcgowan. Mike has been deeply involved in the sport of skydiving since he first stepped out of an airplane 55 years ago. He's made so many meaningful contributions to the sport of skydiving that it's hard to keep track. He helped revolutionize how skydiving competitions are judged by being the first videographer to film a team from the air, an element which is a necessary and inseparable part of our sport today.In this episode we discuss many topics including, Mike's service in the U.S. Navy as a parachute rigger and rescue swimmer during Viet Nam, his first free fall photography jumps with a hand-held camera, detailed descriptions of the first camera helmets and the challenges Mike had to overcome with that gear; how he better prepared himself to withstand the rigors of early free fall parachuting through his dedication to physical training and how that training helped save his life after a near brush with death; emergency procedures training; Mike's involvement in the evolution of parachute gear as an air to air photographer and videographer for research and development, his most memorable R&D experiences; Mike's advice for aspiring free fall photographers, his involvement in World Record free fall formations, the recent release of his book titled, “Selections,” and much more!Mike has a uniquely beautiful perspective of our beloved sport. Shining through in every photo he takes, is a genuine love for skydiving and, to an even greater degree, for his subjects of focus, the people of the sport. For over half a century, he's captured thousands of magical moments on film and for Mike, it really is all about living in the moment. He fondly refers to free fall as, “high speed meditation.” He's endeared himself to hundreds, if not thousands of other skydivers by capturing their special moments of high speed meditation for all to see.

In the latest episode of Hash It Out, I sit down with two very experienced growers – Erika Winters of Everbloom Consulting and Mike McGowan (a.k.a. Karmicheal) of King’s Cannabis. This is not, however, an episode to learn how to grow Cannabis. Rather, we take a deep dive into the different philosophies and cultivation practices that exist in the industry to empower consumers to be able to make informed decisions around who they want to support and ultimately, what they want to put into their body. Additionally, this episode is a peak into the business behind growing weed and the direction that business is heading. Some of the topics we cover: How biodynamic gestures can indicate effect or type of “high” you may experience How and why to get picky about your weed – keep it healthy, keep it green Some canna-science, like why touching poo makes us happy How not to get green washed – what certifications are worth their weight The soul of the growing industry Integrated Pest Management Organic Pesticides – they are still pesticides! Organic doesn’t mean risk free Before you get into it, I want prime the listener with a quote that Karmichael insisted I use to frame the conversation (and for good reason). “There seems to be but three ways for a nation to acquire wealth. The first is by war, as the Romans did in plundering their conquered neighbors. This is robbery. The second is by commerce, which is generally cheating. The third is by agriculture, the only honest way; wherein man receives a real increase of the seed thrown into the ground in a kind of continual miracle.” – Benjamin Franklin

Chris and Mike met in Colombia for the PGA Tour Latinoamerica stop in Medellin in 2016. Chris wanted to have Mike on the show to discuss the mindset behind going low, having fun in golf when its hard to, and balancing your game when your family is so involved in golf.   Mike is a fun loving dude who can absolutely play. He has multiple sub-64 rounds in Latinoamerica, a few of them being course records. It was really fun to pick his brain about what it takes to go low and the kinds of things he works on to make his playing career better in all definitions of the word. Through our discussion I found that balance is key, but balance in whatever way works best for you.   Enjoy the episode!
