In this podcast I want to share an article that I truly consider one of the best I've ever read, for so many reasons. It's a classic from the legendary Captain Peter B. Wright, titled "Things You Need to Know About Seabirds." I find myself re-reading it year after year. Peter, who we lost in 2023, was a titan in the fishing world. His articles were always simple, no fluff, straight to the point. He had opinions, yes, but never in an overbearing way that shamed anyone. Why do I keep coming back to Peter's work? Sadly, guys like him really don't exist anymore, or they've stopped sharing their insights because of the drastic shift in today's fishing culture.  And honestly, in today's fishing world, it feels like everyone has a shaming opinion or wants to tell you you're doing it wrong. I'll admit, I've been guilty of that myself in the past. But every single day, I work on not doing that anymore.  Peter was the exact opposite. He didn't preach; he taught. He didn't shame; he shared. His approach was always about real-world experience, backed by a scientific mind, focused purely on helping you become a better, more responsible angler. That's why I connect so much with his writing: stop shaming people, educate them, and then let them make their own decisions. There's something profound about reconnecting with the past through these articles. It's like you can now hear them speak to you.  When you're truly searching to get better in life, in fishing, or in anything, those voices will connect with you. In this incredible article, Peter, with his signature blend of scientific insight and practical wisdom, dives deep into how seabirds are your ultimate fishing guides. He quotes Captain John Bayliss, one of the best in the business.  This episode is packed with invaluable knowledge that will change how you look for fish offshore, all through the lens of one of fishing's true gentlemen.  Interested in booking a fishing charter in The Florida Keys?

You sit down to work on your business, but suddenly feel unmotivated. You're second-guessing everything. You open your laptop and end up scrolling instead of creating. Even though you know God called you to this work, you just can't seem to stay focused. Sound familiar? What if I told you this isn't just busyness or procrastination? It's spiritual warfare? The enemy wants you distracted. In today's episode, we're uncovering the truth behind those distractions that keep pulling you away from God's plan for your business. I'm breaking down how to recognize the enemy's tactics and what to do when resistance shows up, so you can stay aligned, focused, and fruitful. It's time to take back your focus and pursue the success God has already planned for you.

Discover the pros and cons of writing a novel from multiple POVs—including how to avoid the #1 mistake that kills multi-POV novels.Are multiple point-of-view characters right for your story? Will they create the kind of depth that keeps readers hooked, or will they just leave you with a tangled mess of voices that never quite click together?Writing a multi-POV novel is one of the most challenging approaches to storytelling. When done well, it creates a rich, immersive experience that readers absolutely love. But when done poorly, it can completely derail your entire manuscript.In today's episode, I'll explain what it means to write a multiple-point-of-view novel, how it differs from other narrative approaches, and if it's the right choice for your story.You'll hear me talk about things like:[03:05] Why most writers confuse multiple POV with omniscient POV and how this one mistake can sabotage your entire story.[04:50] The surprising way multiple perspectives create story depth that makes readers think about your book long after finishing it (think Game of Thrones level complexity).[07:15] My favorite "secret weapon" technique that uses contrasting viewpoints to create those jaw-dropping "aha" moments readers can't stop talking about.[11:00] The #1 challenge that kills most multi-POV novels before they're even finished (hint: it's not plot structure, and it's definitely not what you think).[15:25] Five make-or-break questions to ask yourself before committing to multiple POVs (because choosing the wrong narrative approach can derail months of hard work.)If you've been wondering whether your story needs different character perspectives or if you're already writing from multiple points of view but feel overwhelmed by the nuances, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you need to move forward.
