The Bridge

Рік тому

Travis and Jim Fuller sit down to discuss Jim's early years as an electrician, a rock guitarist, and the road that ultimately led him to become the world-renowned AK Master Craftsman he is today.
Bridging gaps within our industry one conversation at a time. The Bridge is not a show about firearms, training, or the military as some might expect. It’s about people; connecting with others, sharing experiences, exchanging perspectives, and healing together through sometimes vulnerable conversations about difficult topics. We hope to help and heal others as we do so for ourselves by airing these conversations for all to hear. Thanks for listening! We hope you enjoy the show.

When I met Jim 7 years ago at RD I was there for SHOT and also arranged to stop by RD. Even though Jim was quite busy he took the time to show me around and even took me out for a burger and gave me a tour of the Strip as I had never been to Vegas. RD's Open House was a blast and I even spotted Travis when he stopped by. I didn't know of Jim's background and what brought him to this point in his life. Both men are passionate and humble. I understand the importance of the process of letting go in order to let in. It is painful however necessary to grow. The doors will open if you do. Thank you both Travis and Jim.

I feel better seeing jim "let it out" most men die with some secrets and life events. I learned a lot when i first went to therapy. I somehow was able to "let it out" with a stranger. Now i feel better knowing it actually works.

I can relate to a lot of things he has said and gone through. Raised by a single parent as my mother died when I was 11 months old. Most of my friends I grew up with are dead. Served in the military in the late 70's and early 80's and no one liked us at the local watering hole because we were in the military

He never mentioned his time working at Front Sight, which was were I got to know him. He worked there for years and was doing electrical work too. He was fun to work a range with. That is why he still using the modified weaver stance.

Great podcast I am youngan and the parent in me goes to mentoring my dog and connecting to say hey go and train your 63 year old dog. He is my boy or play with him and do as much as I can with him. The one challenge is don't throw sticks and stones at him. He is like Dino from the Flintstones he has that puppy in him. I learned a lot of things that my dad had learned and not. May he rest in peace I lost him at a young age. It is hard to really just see what would he look like today and I know that for everyone else. If you think that you are alone you are not. Even if it's a pet.

These podcast get better and better. I was super late to understanding the ak platform and I've watched almost everything I can that Mr. Fuller has put out. He has always been nice despite me asking multiple questions to really understand something that I was missing and I am truly grateful for that. Many of his stories in this podcast hit home for me as I'm sure it will for many others. Thank you both for sharing and being a positive light.

I tuned in for the gun angle, first your son and then a personal fave and AK guru, Jim. I then checked my man card and saw a rawness in both that was a gut check and precisely what is needed. Thanks Travis and the early role you played in shaping my view of gun culture, skills and now reinforcing what being a man encompasses.

Mr. Fuller is one of the most humble and cool guys I have ever gotten the honor of talking to and hearing from him where his interest in AK's began and now knowing how he experienced all of this stuff and was humbled by it just shows how great of a guy he is. Keep up the good work guys.
@RichterScaleStudios

Wow! This podcast grabbed me hard. Fortunately most of us will never experience violence because of the sacrifices of Travis Haley and others in the military and law enforcement. Jim's emotional story of being put in a life changing situation explains a lot, if not all, about his passion for the AK platform. I am a recent customer, now owing a beautiful 1968 Izhmash AKM. Eventually, I would love to attend a build class and train with these gentlemen. I look forward to more of "The Bridge".

Won't even try and deny, seeing Jim Fuller cry and lay his own emotional vulnerability and past experiences out on the table for all to see, made my own eyes water a bit. Disregarding everything hes done for the AK platform and his mechanical prowess, dude is straight up just a gem of a person we've been blessed with.

I remember just outside the Main Gate at NAS North Island 1973, the sign read "DOGS AND SAILORS KEEP OFF GRASS!" I was more of a Ringo Starr fan than just The Beatles. I've got to get me an AK while I can still shoot! I was around them for many years, but they never did interest me until now, probably because they cost too much. Thanks, Peace and Blessings Jim and Travis!

Listened to this on another platform and wanted to come by to express my appreciation for Jim and the fact he was willing to be so open about his experiences. He talked about some hard shit, and even before he got to the stuff that clearly left the deepest cuts you could tell he was recounting some emotional times in his life. I hope to some day live where I can buy an AK, I'm not an AR or an AK guy at the end of the day.
