#133 After Dark - Influence, Training & Mindset with Mark Smith
About this episode
In this episode of the After Dark Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Mark Smith in my hometown, the Bay Area.
We cover a lot of ground in this episode, from shooting and training to the mindset behind practice, and Mark’s role in the industry.
He’s made me think differently about a few things, and I’m sure he’ll do the same for you.
Sit back and enjoy this conversation with Mark Smith!
