In this captivating episode, we delve into the realms of masculinity, foster parenting, and much more with the remarkable Samuel Ayres. Join us as we explore his journey from suburban upbringing to becoming a single dad raising foster kids, all while forging a profound connection with the outdoors. About Samuel Ayres: https://thewildinitiative.com/ Samuel is a firm believer that being "country" is not defined by where you live or where you were born, but rather by how you live and where your heart truly lies. Although he spent his childhood as a suburban kid in Southern California, Samuel's spirit was always drawn to the untamed beauty of nature. While he had his BB gun, a recurve bow, and even a Davey Crockett coonskin cap, activities like camping, fishing, and horseback riding were more of occasional adventures than daily experiences. Fast forward to the present day, and Samuel has undergone a transformative journey. He has bid farewell to the bustling city streets and embraced the wilderness, equipped with his bow and rifle, immersing himself in the world of hunting and the great outdoors. The Wild Initiative: Samuel is the CEO and founder of The Wild Initiative, LLC, and the TWI Digital Media Group. With over 15 years of experience managing large-scale digital projects and a profound understanding of website design and development, he recognized the need to elevate the digital presence of outdoor brands through TWI Digital Media Group. Inspired by his passion for hunting and the desire to share his journey, Samuel established The Wild Initiative brand (previously known as Living Country in the City). This platform provides an opportunity for him to connect with remarkable individuals in the outdoors, engaging in conversations with some of the smartest and most inspiring men and women in the field. Samuel's philosophy: For Samuel, being "country" transcends geographical boundaries. It is a matter of where your heart lies and how you choose to live your life. He firmly believes that present circumstances should never limit one's passions. Regardless of where you were born or where you currently reside, if your heart is drawn to the wilderness, then you embody the spirit of being "country." Join Samuel Ayres on his extraordinary journey of self-discovery, fatherhood, and deep connection with nature by listening to this captivating episode.
