Hello fellow anglers. This time of year, I personally wish that it would stay daylight savings time. The morning we had the time change, Tom Blotter and I decided to venture up to Frenchman’s Lake for a little fishing activity. We had a long discussion on what would be the right time to meet in the morning to leave. Would it be 3 AM new time or 4 PM old time.  We left at 4 AM and got there in total darkness not prepared, I did not bring a flash light or a head light. Quite comically we prepped the boat using the light from our phones, then waited until we had enough light to safely launch. We fished until 2 pm to make sure we got home before dark.

I guess you could say I joined the growth and development industry because I had a distain for the growth and development industry. I got REALLY tired of their cookie cutter processes and solutions. I got even more tired of the monthly subscription fees or the program ticket prices of those one size fits some tactics. When I opened What Works (it was Coaching at the time), I pledged to do what was right for my clients, not just what worked for my wallet.
