    Dec 10 2024

    Last week was my daughter Esme’s 9th birthday and one of the things she asked for was to come on my podcast. I put a Q&A post on my IG story to get some questions from my audience and was shocked at how great the response was. Not only did we get a ton of questions, but they were super high quality. So, I would like to officially introduce you to my daughter Esme. I hope you enjoy this conversation.

  • EP 207 – Exclusive Product Announcement with Brad Brooks from Argali
    Dec 6 2024

    I have had the opportunity to test a lot of Argali gear over the last few years, and I always love getting to sit down and chat with Brad. Not only is he a great product designer, but he’s an absolute stud in the woods. We dove into some of the lessons learned from our hunting trips this year, and then we got into one of the products I have been testing for them this season, and Brad shared an exclusive product announcement.

  • EP 203 – Is Joe Rogan Bad for Hunting with Jake Downs
    Nov 22 2024

    Jake is one of my favorite people. What you see is what you get; he doesn’t pull punches, and you never have to wonder what he thinks on any given subject or individual. On this one, we rambled and chased several squirrels with no real agenda other than two dudes sitting down to catch up.
