Ep. 239: I Quit My Job to Hunt For A Living

Published: April 26, 2022, 8 a.m.

On this episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast, Beau Martonik is going solo to discuss a big move in the future of East Meets West as he transitions from working a regular 9-5 job to being self-employed working in the hunting industry. No one actually gets paid just to hunt, so I decided to break down my journey on how I was able to have the ability to leave my full-time job to chase my dreams. Topics include getting rid of debt, working at an archery shop, outdoor writing, why I started the podcast, investing in my education, how I started to make money, and the future of East Meets West\n\nTopics:\n\nGetting rid of debt and planning for the future\n\nWorking part-time at a bow shop\n\nGetting into outdoor writing\n\nWhy I started the podcast\n\nInvesting in my future and education\n\nHow I started to make money\n\nFuture of East Meets West\n\n\nResources:\nInstagram:\xa0\xa0\n@eastmeetswesthunt\n@beau.martonik\n@spartan.forge\n\nFacebook:\xa0\xa0\nEast Meets West Outdoors\n\xa0\nhttps://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/\n\xa0\nYouTube:\nBeau Martonik -\xa0https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJon93sYfu9HUMKpCMps3w\n\xa0\nShop new apparel!\xa0\nhttps://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/shop\n\xa0\nAmazon Influencer Page\nhttps://www.amazon.com/shop/beau.martonik\n\xa0\nPartners and Exclusive Deals:\nSpartan Forge - Check out the Spartan Forge app for deer movement predictions based on millions of data points for your area, as well as incredible GPS mapping!
