About This Episode:

Today, Riley Bowman and Jacob Paulsen step off the range and into the classroom — because signing up for a training class is the easy part; actually getting your money's worth out of it is another story. Whether you're booking your very first class or your fifteenth, this episode breaks down the habits that separate the students who walk away transformed from the ones who walk away with a certificate and not much else. We get into how to choose the right class for where you actually are, what to do in the days before you ever set foot on the range, the mindset that makes instruction stick, and the step most students skip entirely once class lets out. Tune in so you don't miss!
