Today we are kicking off Scottish Movie month with the 1993 Mike Meyers film, So I Married an Axe Murderer. This film pairs Nancy Travis as the owner and operator of a meat store in San Francisco and follows the romance of her and Charlie played by Mike Meyers. In this film Meyer's portrays not only Charlie but his father Stuart, based on Meyer's own father.    Stuart Mackenzie: “I'm not kidding, that boy's head is like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts! Now that was offside, wasn't it? He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight, on his huge pillow.”   Some of our favorite parts of this movie are: Classic Meyers comedy Solving the mystery based on the tittle of the film More Montages San Francisco locations Realizing how much we miss Phil Hartman Scottish influence Bad poetry, stereotypical angry police captains, 90s college music.   Special thanks to our editor Geoff Vrijmoet for this episode and Melissa Villagrana for helping out with our social media posts.   Next week's film is: Restless Native   Subscribe, Rate & Share Your Favorite Episodes!   Thanks for tuning into today's episode of Dodge Movie Podcast with your host, Mike and Christi Dodge.

I have the first comedian I've ever had on Restless Native.  He also happens to be a fly fisherman, wildlife biologist, and an educator.  Eeland Stribling is a really great guy. I kept seeing this guy pop up in various content from brands, and someone on my team recommended him for my other show, Gearbox Talk. We did that, and I asked him to sit down for this show as well just to unveil a little bit about his journey into the space. We talk about his comedy, fishing and his grandfather, who actually has been a really important role model for Eeland. I think this show is a fun change of pace, and yet another I'm proud to add to the long lineup of fascinating guests for Restless Native.  Watch Eeland on Gearbox Talk

Jack Carr was a Navy SEAL for twenty years. He’s led assault and sniper teams through places like Afghanistan and Iraq. And he’s the New York Times best selling author of Savage Son, along with The Terminal List and True Believer.  In this interview: His military experience Previews of the book, which drops April 13 How Jack separates himself from his main character The new TV series coming out about Jack’s book series I hate picking a favorite, but this might just be my favorite Restless Native ever. I am such a big fan of Jack.  He’s one of the most down to earth people I have ever met. And no matter how many times you’ve heard him before, or if you’re totally new to him, I think you’ll find this show fascinating. Jack Carr's Website

Today’s guest is one you’ve probably heard from many times over. But as always, I focused on asking a different set of questions and digging deep.  This Restless Native is with the one and only, Remi Warren.  You’ve heard Remi talk about stalking, hunting, archery and much more. But today we’re talking about community, societal expectations, hunting as a right, and how to avoid censorship.  Remi is a TV show host, writer, photographer, videographer and just one of the best content creators in the hunting industry. I wanted to hear about his journey, where he started, and he delivers some fantastic advice on how to build your own portfolio and highlights how he just fought his way into the industry with brute force.  It’s a great interview. Restless Native is brought to you by GoWild GearJunkie named GoWild the best social app for hunters. See why—join today.

I went down to Texas and found somebody who’s not afraid to speak his mind. OK, some of you are probably thinking that’s a lot of Texans.  I agree.  Texas is an amazing place. If I were to leave the great state of Kentucky for a place of residence, Texas would be high among my list for consideration.  One of Texas’ best known radio hosts is on Restless Native today, and we are not pulling punches. We’re talking about if social media is good for hunting, discussing this messed up year and talking about creating content while staying true to yourself.  Enjoy this episode with Cable Smith from the Lone Star Outdoor Show.

Today I have arguably one of the biggest names to ever guest the Restless Native mic. Tim Kennedy joins the show in honor of Veteran’s Day.  The Green Beret serves with the Special Forces Group, has been a sniper, sniper instructor, combatives instructor and was deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom among other deployments.  Tim also had a 15 year MMA career. Today, among a few other companies, he owns Sheep Dog Response, which teaches tactical training. And relevant to some of you, he’s been a frequent guest of Joe Rogan.  We get in the weeds quick. I'm asking tough questions, such as are we as American civilians getting soft? We talk about this wild year. We get Tim’s take on civil unrest in our country. And we’ll talk about the war on our lifestyle as outdoorsmen and firearms enthusiasts.  It’s a great discussion and a very informed one. Tim is a very well read, cultured, and well traveled person. I think you’ll really enjoy this conversation.  Tim Kennedy on Healthy Hunter

I’m so pumped on deer season that it’s taking over this podcast.  Today, we’re chatting with Lindsay Thomas with QDMA. I’ve known him for years now, and am honestly disappointed it’s taken me this long to get him onto Restless Native.  I learned a good amount about QDMA, that’s the Quality Deer Management Association, as well as whitetail behavior. Lindsay also talks about his journey in the outdoor industry, and name drops a few of his outdoor writers these days.

If you’ve never heard my Halloween episodes with Dark Waters, you certainly think I have been sipping the pumpkin spiced ciders a bit too hard, but I’m as sober as a saint.  Because in the presence of Dogman, you pray for sainthood.  Today, paranormal storyteller Dark Waters will tell tales of dogman and how this wicked beast has come to be known as a groundskeeper of bad intentions.  We’ll hear about the difference between dogman and werewolves, and tales of skinwalkers and sasquatch, too.  This is not your average Restless Native.  It’s better.  Scarier.  And that’s every bit my intention.  Dark Waters Website Dogman Cams

Today we’re to talk to a guy who knows what it’s like to lose everything and start over. Anthony Ferro has a crazy story on how he built the Fetching Feathers Kennel. I can’t really even shed any insights into how crazy the beginning of this story is without giving it away. Let’s just say he had to start over. Totally over.  This podcast is about Anthony’s background and his passion for running his kennel. If you enjoy this chat, I hope you’ll check out my other show with him on Gearbox Talk where he goes through some of his secrets to running a good kennel, and keeping his dogs safe. It’s an awesome show as well. Restless Native is brought to you by GoWild.

Today’s guest is a storyteller. He’s evolved. He’s thoughtful, philosophical even.  Which is why he’s perfect for Restless Native.  Jonathan Metcalf was recently on my other show Gearbox Talk to discuss his approach to public land elk hunting. Today though we get into his process of content creation, how he grew what he’s doing and at the end of the show, we’ll tackle the story of Funky Kong, his beast of a bull he took last year.  https://youtu.be/4h3fWdo17z4 Jonathan on Cody Rich's show Join GoWild Restless Native is brought to you by GoWild, a hunting app for hunters by hunters.

His goal is always to get the pass through so he'll explain exactly how to do that EVERY SINGLE TIME! He covers all the bases: single bevel vs double bevel, archers' paradox, torque, the doppler effect, string jump, arrow weight, draw weight, pass throughs, carbon steel, and why MASS is KING!

On this show, we have one of the best songwriters to have emerged in quite some time.  And, he’s a bowhunter, passionate angler and good ol’ mountain man from the hills of West Virginia.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr3vVnxpFsQ Charles Wesley Godwin is the real deal. I’ve been a passionate fan of his since March of 2019. His album Seneca was among my heaviest of rotations last year, and I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him in concert a few times now. Today, we talk a bit about his music, and he shares several hunting and fishing tales. We also talk about this strange world we’re living in, and get his take on it. It’s a really humbled conversation.  Charles will wrap up today’s show with a few songs. As my buddy and fellow musician Dave Shoemaker once said, Charles Wesley Godwin’s voice is pure velvety perfection. Restless Native is brought to you by GoWild Download GoWild today.

“Our minds just get away from us. That’s how we have to operate in this world. This is the first time I’ve felt like I’ve been in my body since I was a kid, as far as my mind being here, now. High school, it was where to go to college. Then a job. Now, I’m not planning for anything.”— Nick Jamerson, Songwriter Nicholas Jamerson made quite the ripple with his band, Sundy Best. He’s played shows for tens of thousands of people, charted on Billboard, been on CMT, and played with legends. Yet he is one of the most humble people you’ll meet. You’re going to enjoy this conversation. It’s a breath of fresh air amid the toxicity and arguing going on today.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny3WgOUwfuE I think Nick is doing his best work yet today. He recently released a new album, The Wild Frontier, and joined me to talk about it. He lives a very remote life, far from the city. We talk about how that’s helped amid these strange times.  Keep listening until the end of the show.

"Wild game has flavor. Once you eat it, everything else is so bland. That's why I fell in love with wild game. When you buy meat at a grocery store, there are no surprises. There are always surprises with wild game. From a chef's perspective that's so much fun, but people look at it like that's a negative."— Danielle Prewett Have you ever stopped to think about your food as a story? You probably have. Because you’re a Restless Native listener and we like to dive deep. Well, today’s guest does, too. She’s gone from a non-hunter, which, please don’t take that as anti-hunter. She’s gone from a non-hunter to someone whose entire diet is made up of wild game. I got to know her when she was Danielle, with Wild and Whole. You may now know her as Danielle from MeatEater.  Danielle has been on quite the journey as a food writer and chef. In this interview, you’ll hear her talk about how she got started hunting, her journey as a chef, and she gives some great cooking advice. We even talk about how to make use of some of those freezer burned pieces of meat you might be pulling out of the freezer this time of year.  Instagram - Wild & WholeWild and WholeDanielle on MeatEater Restless Native is Brought to You by GoWild Download GoWild today to explore and share your love of wild game.

“I want to help these small companies. I want to help them build their brand, and build their story and be successful. They’re spending money in areas that’s not fruitful. I started talking to these men and women that make these things, and this whole new world opened up to me. And it was no longer my grandfather making fishing baits. It was people in Arkansas making duck calls or someone in California making lanyards. So I thought I wanted to make this for myself. But I discovered a new culture of people, and heard what they really need.”— Adam Gifford, Founder of TackleHack Today's guest will tell you how he started his company. It involved being told you couldn’t, exploring the depths of the unknown, and running up a lot of credit card bills.  Starting a company is hard. Adam Gifford, my guest, calls it a roller coaster. Which sounds trite, but I’ve personally been through highs no drug replicates, and I’ve been in the trough of sorrow, as it’s known among founders. People are always going to tell you that you can't do something. When you realize that there is not a single adult in this world who has the ability to control your destiny besides you, you can rapidly evolve your career. Adam Gifford motivates the hell out of me. This interview or chat starts off heavy on the business side of things, and we work our way through Adam’s passion for the community and the individual people his company is helping. Adam has faced many of the same challenges I have. He’s building a tech company in the midwest. He sounds different. He has to deal with the garbage perception that people in the outdoors aren’t advanced. But he has persisted on and that’s why I think he has a great shot at success.  TackleHack Sponsored by Houston Safari Club Foundation Restless Native is brought to you by Houston Safari Club Foundation.

"I was bear hunting in Russia and it’s one of my favorite hunts ever, and I didn’t tag a thing. Or I think of big horn sheep hunting with my husband, and we didn’t take a sheep. To me, if you can go out there and have your best day ever without tagging an animal, that’s what makes you a true sportsmen.”— Mia Anstine On this show, we talk about bear hunting in Russia, chasing big horn sheep, what it means to be named one of the most influential women in hunting and entrepreneurship.  I met today’s guest through an organization you’ve heard me mention often, the Professional Outdoor Media Association or POMA. Just last week someone called me and asked if they should join and you already know my answer. But I love POMA’s conference because it brings me to meet people like our guest today.  Mia Anstine is a very interesting story in hunting. Her path to guiding isn’t exactly what I expected. It meanders a bit, and then she has absolutely catapulted her career in outdoor media. She’s written for Field & Stream, traveled with a ton of brands, she’s involved with Safari Club International. It’s impressive.  More than the accolades, Mia is just a great person to know and chat with, which is what makes this such a good interview. She’s transparent, and I don’t think you can find a disingenuous bone in her body.  Mia Anstine Mia’s Published WorkGame Changers Sponsored by Houston Safari Club Foundation Restless Native is brought to you by Houston Safari Club Foundation.

"'Hunters' for a long time were rednecks who drove around in trucks and shot everything. Those are poachers. But that was the identity that hunters had. We've changed the conversation. People are realizing that hunters are the true conservationist."— David Draper David Draper has traveled the freaking world as a writer. He’s hunted five of the seven continents, and in some of the remote places on the planet, including the Brooks Range in Alaska. Many of you will look up to him as a hunter by the end of this show. And I do, too. But what really impresses me about this guy is his work as a writer and editor.  David has more than two decades of experience in communications. He’s worked for the biggest names in the industry, and he’s one of the most respected writers and editors I’ve gotten to know.  In addition to hunting and writing, we both have a passion for food.

"Nearly every dogman attack—and this is a detail I leave out—the majority were bowhunters."— Dark Waters, Paranormal Storyteller Fall means different things to us all. For some, it’s crisp mornings, quiet sits in tree stands. For others, it might be chasing bass during the fall feed. For others, and this is a select few, Fall will mean something entirely different. Fall will forever mean reliving the most horrifying moment of your life. While recording last year’s series of dogman content, I got pretty into researching these dark stories from the woods. I don’t know that it ever really resonated with me, more than I was just curious.  Part of me wonders how dogman or bigfoot could exist without being documented in this modern era, and I know this can’t be real. But then, part of me thinks about some of the tales from the King of Horror, Dark Waters, and I wonder if maybe there isn’t some truth to the government not wanting you to know.  One thing I know to be true, is the more you read about this stuff, the more you open your mind to it being a possibility. You might listen to today’s show and walk away saying, “That was entertaining.” And it is. Dark Waters is entertaining—that’s what he does.  But if you’re like I was last year, part of you might be left wondering if there isn’t something to these sightings. And maybe, you might just have your own story of something unexplained in the woods. Today, I bring you tales of just that. We have a bowhunter who saw and heard sheer horror as a creature of the woods put on a horrific display of strength. We’ll tell you which type of hunter is most likely to have these encounters. Where you might find these demonic animals.  And what you can do to stay safe.  Or as safe as you can be when hunting among dogman.  Iamdarkwaters.com Hear my last show with Dark Waters.

Teaching is at the core of being human. So is hunting. This is who we are. It’s who we have always been, but just because it’s always been there for us, doesn’t mean it always will be. We are entering the most significant fight in the history of hunting. If we don’t take the recruitment challenge seriously, the “mutualists” and city dwellers are going to continue to chip away at our lifestyle. — Brad Luttrell Back in April I read a piece of my writing, a submission to Houston Safari Club Foundation’s magazine, Hunter’s Horn. That was episode 64, and many of you responding asking for more podcasts like that. This is more of a dive into my brain as a writer and maybe as an amateur philosopher. Or maybe, just as a guy who thinks about stuff too much. While this piece is not an advertisement, Houston Safari Club Foundation is a sponsor of GoWild and Restless Native. If you like what you hear and want to subscribe to Hunter’s Horn, you can join Houston Safari Club Foundation at wehuntwegive.org.

Today is a bonus show from an interview with me (ah hem, that's Brad) on Dan Johnson’s podcast. You all may recall Dan Johnson from joining me on Restless Native. I was also on his show a while back, and that’s what you’ll hear today. Before we dive into that, I wanted to tell you about a couple of things. First, we have a deal with Houston Safari Club Foundation going on where you can get a digital membership. Remember, Houston Safari Club Foundation is not a Texas organization, it’s a conservation organization based in Texas.  If you heard episode 64, a Wild Journey, that reading was from one of my article submissions to their magazine, Hunter’s Horn. Many of you messaged me asking for more articles like that, so here is your chance. For just $35, you can get access to some great member benefits including the magazine. Tap here for that deal.  The second thing I wanted to mention was this is the last week for our First Lite sweepstakes. Soon, I’ll be calling someone to tell them they just won a trip worth at least $4500. The First Lite sweepstakes ends on September 1, so make sure you enter if you haven’t. This is a rare chance to hunt whitetail in Nebraska.  The hunt is also for whitetail. You’ll be working with world-class guide, Jordan Budd, on her family’s property. Cable Smith with Lone Star Outdoor Show will also be joining you for the hunt. And, as if that wasn’t enough, you’re getting a butt load of First Lite gear, which First Lite now says might be worth three times what they originally committed to. You can enter by downloading GoWIld, and searching for “sweepstakes.” Entering from there is easy and the whole thing takes less than a minute.  Alright, let’s get back to Dan Johnson. Dan was one of the earliest of guys to get into podcasting in the hunting space. You may know that name from Mark Kenyon’s show, Wired to Hunt, where Dan got his start. Or, you may know him from his show and networks, Nine Finger Chronicles and Sportsmen’s Nation.  This interview is mostly about what we’re doing at GoWild. I think I shamefully pre-announce a product that has since been put on hold. Oh well, that’s startup life and part of being a big-mouth founder who gets a little too excited sometimes. I will say, what we ended up going with for this year is launching in just a few weeks and I think you’re really going to love the first version of that. To keep myself safe I’m not teasing that, but I will say it’s the first of two huge initiatives for the rest of 2019. That’s right, we’re not done innovating just yet.

"I was going to be the one to change my destiny. No one was going to do it for me."— Andy Tran, Muddy Shutter Media Today is a story about transformation.  And punching people in the face. Career changes take a great amount of effort. Today’s guest has had many transformations in his life. I am excited to hear what you all thought of this story.  It’s really such a fascinating journey to me, I decided I needed to let him tell it. So that’s it for the teaser.

Houston Safari Club Foundation and GoWild have once again teamed up to promote an entire week dedicated to educating hunters and anglers on how to get involved and make an impact beyond their dollars. Houston Safari Club Foundation’s mission is to preserve the sport of hunting through education, conservation and the promotion of hunting heritage. While the group is based in Texas, its reach and impact extends far beyond the Lone Star State. They believe National Conservation Week poses a chance for hunters and anglers nationwide to band together and make an impact. What does it mean to be a conservationist? It means something a little different to each person I talk to, but one thing is clear to me: We should all be pushing beyond our license dollars to earn that title. It's our hope that this week encourages people to think through how they can make an impact. You can get involved with National Conservation Week, August 18-24th. Your effort could be clearing trails, stream cleanups, planting trees, assisting with animal counts, habitat improvements, or fish sampling. And there are dozens more ways. Volunteers are encouraged to check their state’s fish and wildlife agency’s website for local opportunities. Many states have sections outlining areas where they need help.

"Today is a milestone. Some of our goals at GoWild have not been met. We missed them. You might call them failures. I call those lessons. Some goals were met sooner than we ever thought possible. I call those risks paying rewards."— Brad Luttrell If you're at all a weekly listener to Restless Native, you're going to want to check this show out. We have a very important announcement in the beginning. Then we have a bonus show—I (Brad Luttrell) joins Glendon Allwood on the Hunt Domain podcast to talk about GoWild. This is going to look at where we've been, where we are and where we're going. You'll probably learn something you didn't know about me and GoWild in this show.

In this episode, I talk with Brad Luttrell,  one of the founders of the outdoor app GoWild. GoWild is an application for both the iOS and Android platform that is built by outdoors people for outdoors people. This is an app designed to be used by hunters, fishermen, and anyone else who enjoys outdoor activities. Unlike some of the larger social media platforms that remove hunting or fishing content, GoWild is all-embracing of it as are the people that use it. You can go to the Time To Go Wild (www.timetogowild.com) webpage to see many of the current features and future features that are being worked on.  There is also a  GoWild App YouTube page: (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC35NE3KkYcpullhcpYqZuLw) Brad also does a podcast called Restless Native and you can access the website www.everrestless.com).  When the app was released in 2017, there were articles that interviewed Brad and discussed the application. Here are links to them: Petersen’s Bowhunting - https://www.bowhuntingmag.com/editorial/new-gowild-app-gaining-steam/309121 Wideopen Spaces - https://www.wideopenspaces.com/if-you-download-any-app-as-an-outdoorsman-make-it-this-one/

"When we look at the outdoor space, we're on the verge of a data revolution. That is, using data to get better at what we do. Hunting and the outdoors is still this experimental thing, it's something your dad taught you. It's a generational transfer. But now, technology is teaching you to be a better outdoorsman."— Zack Grimes, GoWild Cofounder & Chief Analytics Officer I have spent an insane amount of time in the car with my good friend, cofounder and the Chief Analytics Officer of GoWild lately. Most of you probably know I’m talking about Zack Grimes. We recently decided to put a mic on one of these conversations to talk about something we just launched. I love talking to people who are busting their butt to make a difference on Restless Native, and felt it was important to take a minute to recognize our team at GoWild for launching activity tracking for fishing. This is a phase one project for sure, but it’s a huge milestone for us and really fishing in general. Zack will get into why I think it’s that big of a deal, but overall I’m not aware of anything else like it. We’ve been cranking on this over the last couple of months, and I wanted to get Zack to talk about just where all of this is going. We do have some pretty significant reveals on here, too. We are running full speed to being the best activity tracking platform for the outdoors. I want to not only help you track your story better, I want to help you learn from that data. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Zack is here today. The data. Zack’s first interview Restless Native is brought to you by Obsession Bows. These bows are made specifically for you.

"Don’t stick with something because it’s easy, or already in motion. If you have a passion, do something with that, and do it now. It will not get easier tomorrow. Tomorrow is unknown, not just because it’s not promised, but because someone else will beat you to it, or you will lose your nerve to try it."— Brad Luttrell Restless Native was founded to look at what it takes to be successful. Most of the time that means interviewing people who have been there, done that. And it’s usually directly related to the outdoor industry. Today, I am going to share a few recent stories, conversations and insights from my own life. It is my hope that this podcast inspires you every week. As a ferocious content consumer myself, I believe the best lessons come from a variety of perspectives from those around us who have been there before. The format of the show is designed to help provide those diverse perspectives. That’s good for the listeners, and it’s been good for me. I’ve learned a ton through this process.   But today, I am going to attempt to be a conduit and pull together a variety of lessons I’ve learned outside of this show, and thoughts I’ve experienced lately. I wanted to share this in a Restless Native because I believe it directly relates back to why I started it, and why I imagine you tune in every week. I hope it helps you find your drive.

On this episode, I'm joined by Brad Luttrell, the CEO and Co-Founder of GoWild. I was a guest on Brad's own Restless Native podcast a few months ago. Brad and I talk about the GoWild app, using social media as hunters, the future of hunting, activity data tracking and much more!

"I want GoWild community members to know who I am if they have issues, and that somebody actually cares. I want to be able to fix it for you. I want to help you." — Chris Gleim, Co-Founder of GoWild Spoiler alert: There are GoWild spoilers. GoWild is in the process of completing a survey for research. The answers outline GoWild criticisms, and there are compliments of the platform. We don't hide from any of it. We hit each concern or outlying comment head on. My cofounder, Chris Gleim, joined me in Texas for a business trip. On one of our last mornings together, we sat down over coffee and chatted the future of GoWild. This survey will be used to help us build a better product over time. We're using it to validate hunches or ideas we have internally. My Co-Founder Chris Gleim and I sit down to discuss some of the preliminary feedback from the survey and address the anonymous comments from this survey.

“How you carry yourself, how you interact with anti-hunters, how you present your harvested animals, how you follow the law even when no one is looking—it all matters. We are stewards of this lifestyle just like we are with our public lands. The debate is not about hunter versus anti-hunter. When you don’t carry the flame with honor and respect, you lose the people on the fence.”— Brad Luttrell, Hunter's Horn article Today, I’m going to tell you a story.   There is no guest. It’s just me, and a tale of how I got to be sitting at this mic today. Last year, I wrote an article for Houston Safari Club Foundation’s publication, Hunter’s Horn, about how we can flip social media from anti-hunter to hunter recruitment. I talked about the founding of GoWild, but even deeper than that, I talked about my story as a hunter. I’m in the process of submitting another story to Hunter’s Horn, and have been thinking about this one and the statement it makes. With permission of Houston Safari Club Foundation, I’m going to read you that story today. This show may not be for everybody, but I hope it connects with some of you. You’ve gotten to know me as a podcast host, which is off the cuff. But this is me as a writer, which although still me, it is a different version. Slower, methodical and contemplative. Thanks to Houston Safari Club Foundation for letting me share this tale. Note: While this is not a paid ad, Houston Safari Club Foundation is a sponsor of GoWild and Restless Native. Restless Native is Sponsored by Allen’s Shocker Gear Turkey season is here, and I could not be more pumped to go after those long beards. I just found some new turkey gear hitting the market from Allen. It’s the Shocker Turkey Hunting lineup, and I’m really excited about this stuff and I’ll be putting it to the test this year.  To be Shocker-worthy, a product must possess the exact elements to make turkey hunting easier, and make you a better hunter. Each item in the Shocker product line is designed, from inception, with purpose-driven storage compartments, specific features and item orientations with turkey hunting-solely in mind. Each one of these (5) individual items are a critical turkey hunting accessory providing a strong modular foundation to the overall “SHOCKER” Turkey Hunting Collection.

On this BONUS episode, I'm a guest on Brad Luttrell's Restless Native podcast to talk about my journey in starting this podcast, getting into outdoor writing, starting a brand and more business/entrepreneurship related topics. It was different being the guest on a podcast rather than the one asking all of the questions, but I had a ton of fun on this one! Brad is the founder of the growing outdoors app, GO WILD.

"As we see the traditional storytellers retire, it's about bringing up the next generation. We have a lot of young people, but I don't want to lose the baby boomer's knowledge. Some of these people have been doing this for 35 yers and they've made the mistakes we don't want to make ourselves."— Kevin Orthman I met Kevin Orthman just a few days before GoWild launched. And he's been one of our best supporters ever since. I joined POMA for the connections, thinking it could help us pickup some good advertisers as we grow. What I got was so much more. I've made friends, found teammates, met thought leaders, and founded many businesses relationships. The Professional Outdoor Media Association is the best program we work with. I can’t wait for the convention this summer and highly recommend you check it out. If you like this show and are interested in POMA, remember, memberships are cheap. And as I point out in the show. Nobody is paying me to say this. In fact I pay POMA.  It’s a lengthy discussion but it’s good. Stick around and let us know what you think.

"We're so high up, the people look like ants. A solo climber started to fall. You could tell he was unconscious. As he was falling he was taking out other climbers. The guide was a first responder and he had to go. He said, 'if anyone wants to leave, you have to come now.' I didn't want to be the person who made us come down before the summit..." – Jenn Callahan The Ironman race is known as the ultimate feet among distance athletes. People have died trying this race. Seriously. Today’s guest is among those few people to even dare this feat. The triathlon consists of a 2.4-mile swim in open water, a 112-mile bike ride and a marathon, which is 26.2 miles. There are no breaks. It is widely considered the most difficult single-day sporting event in the world. Today’s guest is one of the few people I know who have attempted at Ironman. We’ll hear about that story today, but I want you to know the sacrifice that it takes to even train for these things. Anytime I’ve ever talked to someone who does them will tell you, there is no time for television, movies, or hobbies, and you even have to start cutting back on social events or family time. It requires an incredible amount of focus. Jenn is more than a tri-athlete though. She’s done 16 marathons, again, 26.2 miles each. She’s training for another right now and plans to do at least three this year. She’s climbed a mountain, a story that we’ll hear about in frightening detail. She does a backcountry fishing trip that is certainly more extreme than what anyone I know signs up for—eight days in bear country with no gun, no spray, minimal amounts of backup food, and mile-long portages through the woods to hop from lake to lake while fishing for survival. She’s also a hunter in pursuit of many firsts. It goes without saying that Jenn is one of the most driven people I know. If she falls short of a goal, it is going to eat at her like salt on an open wound. Jenn’s first official week with GoWild was at our company retreat, where we played some team building games. It didn’t take long to see behind her sweet and humble presence is a tiger waiting to pounce at the sign of competition. She’s become a good friend of mine and the founders here at GoWild. I’m lucky to get to work with her every day, and so grateful our paths crossed to bring her here.

"There is not a single person on our team who has an ego. We seek out opinions from so many people. We want feedback from the community. We want people to have a voice. I know I'm not an expert. We seek out the people in their respective fields—cooking, deer hunting, or whatever because we want to do it right. We want to do it, from a technology perspective, to do it 10 times better than anyone's ever done it before."— Zack Grimes I’ve known Zack Grimes for a long time. And we’ve been through a lot together. I mean heck, about six years ago, Zack got me fired. Just kidding, Zack. OK, well not really, I did get fired, and Zack was involved, but the company’s paranoia and ignorance isn’t Zack’s fault. We’ll get into this story a little bit. But he and I started off just a couple of young guys trying to make their way into advertising. When I first met him, I thought he had it all figured out. He’s incredibly bright. I mean, he’s seriously one of the smartest people I know. We had a lot of fun screwing up on someone else’s dime before we co-founded this company together. Today you get to hear about those successes, failures, and… Tacos. This podcast was not really brought to you by Mission Tacos, but the offer still stands that if Mission Tacos wants to pay us in tacos, we're interested. Also, Brad was wrong. Zack's always had a beard. Restless Native is sponsored by GoWild.  GoWild is the fastest growing social media and activity tracking platform for outdoors enthusiasts.

"Influencer marketing is relatively new... One of the things I look for first in ever single influencer we work with, is do they have ..." — Josh Claflin, Digital Marketer. To hear his No. 1 thing, listen to this show Over the last few weeks we’ve unveiled a lot of behind the scenes content from GoWild. Today I have one of the better looks under the hood of outdoors marketing that you’ll hear. Brand content doesn’t happen like your personal content. It’s not spur of the moment. Brands have content calendars, copywriters, photographers, designers, strategists, account managers and, maybe most importantly, thousands and thousands of dollars at play here. There is no one philosophy on how to build a brand or spend a budget. Some people live and die by print ads and trade shows. Other brand managers may invest heavily in video content. But lately, there’s been a huge trend to push for influencers. What is an influencer? A lot of people would generically say it’s someone with a lot of followers. But my guest today is here to tell you having followers doesn’t make you a leader. Josh Claflin is very knowledgeable. He’s going to unveil some things some outdoor brands might not even want you to know. We’re going to get into how the social media sausage is made. And I will bet that for many of you, he’s going to open your eyes to tell you follower and vanity metrics don’t necessarily make you an influencer. Or even relevant. In fact, Josh is going to unveil the one thing his company looks for beyond your like counts, follower numbers and impressions. Try Out the New GoWild App This podcast is brought to you by GoWild.

“That’s what’s so exciting. Now, GoWild is legitimately a tool for telling your story and sharing information and awesome content. We can’t even dream of all the things they’re going to post.”— Chris Gleim, Co-Founder of GoWild Today has never-before-heard backstories, strategy and future plans for GoWild. The GoWild team just launched its biggest product update in the history of the company. On a drive to Kansas to meet with Garmin to present this product, my Co-Founder Chris and I talk through a lot of things, including our friendship, the product, my accent, hunting motives, food acquisition, the future of GoWild and much more. Normally I start off the show description with a quote, but here’s one to end it, too: “It’s awesome to think about the hunts you’ll have, and you’re going to be able to go back 10 years later and relive your heart rate with your GoWild account.”— Chris Gleim Try Out the New GoWild App You can do all of the things we talk about, plus log time for this podcast.

“Part of our vision is to build up a product line of products that can enhance the outdoor experience for the sportsman, but not take away from it.”— Chad VanCamp, Product Manager with Garmin Today, January 9, GoWild launches a product with Garmin. This week, I'll be at the 2019 Archery Trade Association’s trade show in Garmin's booth to talk about this integration with the Garmin Connect IQ system. I'm sure over the next few weeks you’ll hear more about the product that we landed on. This interview is to bring you the people behind it, how we even got this relationship rolling and what’s so damn cool about it. Some of you probably know of Chad VanCamp. He’s become a frequent flyer on the Gritty podcast since the Xero bow sight came out last year. Chad and I got to be buddies once this whole thing got started, which is key to any good working relationship. I have to say thank you to Chad, as well as Nick, Audra and Jennifer for all of their help this last year. I know we came into this being small and honestly even a little unproven, but you all saw something in us and believed in team GoWild. I appreciate the opportunity to show you just how good my team can be. Team GoWild came together with Garmin to build an incredible product, and it’s one that I couldn’t have dreamed up alone. As a tech company, few things are more exciting than moving into unchartered waters, and that’s exactly where we are this week.

"I said, ‘So you don’t know for 100% certainty that this bear is dead?’ He said no, and I told him we have a problem. All of the sudden, out of the corner of my eye, I see alders move, and out comes this wounded brown bear on a dead run, right for us."— Lyn Hoffman, Alaskan big game hunting guide This show is crazy. We have bear charges. Golden eagle attacks. Tales of successful hunts, including moose, sheep, goats, bears, deer, pigs, coyotes, rabbits and god knows what else I’m forgetting. We hear about of hunting accidents, being stranded on a mountain for days after a bear attack, how Lacey motivated a gentlemen to seize the day in what would be his last mountain hunt ever. And we hear about Lyn and Lacey’s newest business, which gives you a chance to go experience Alaska and get these experiences first hand. Lyn and his wife, Lacey, stopped by the GoWild office recently, and we hit the studio with no particular plans or direction for the conversation. What unfolded is a series of tales mostly from just a single hunting season that showcase why the Hoffman life might just be the best life. If you’re not hyped to listen to this already, I don’t know what else to say to get you there. I won’t even try. On a separate note, I don’t know why any time I do impressions of someone my voice is always a redneck dude. I guess it’s just what I know best. It’s pretty much my voice for all impressions, so don’t be offended. After the interview I’m going to talk about a little something that gets revealed in this podcast, so stick around for my recap and rambling at the end. GoWild users will especially enjoy that. This is a long one, so I’ll see ya on the other side in a few hours. Don’t worry, it’s worth it, and I guarantee you’ll end this show and want more stories from Lyn and Lacey, and I’m willing to bet you don’t even realize how much time has passed.

“Those relationships are key. You might have to sort through a bunch of people to find those relationships, but that’s where the time should be spent, because then it doesn’t matter what the market does, because you have quality relationships with people through social media.” — Huntz Colburn, Backcountry Digital Founder Today’s guest specializes in SEO, PPC, CPM, ROI and a whole bunch of other things that would probably make some of you say WTF. We’re talking high level. But we’re also talking how to get a brand off the ground, how to start selling a product with limited knowledge. Huntz is an analytical angler and hunter who recently started his own marketing agency to tackle the gaps found in the industry. But it all started with a Facebook group called Monkey Pickles. Huntz Colburn is sharp. This guy envisioned a digital landscape that would empower local fly fishing or archery shops to take their expertise beyond their hometown, which is certainly a seasonal opportunity, and expand that to the Internet and take it 365 days a year. Huntz’ story inspires me. I love hearing how passionate he is, not only about technology or marketing, but about helping small organizations build upon their bottom line to grow. This interview with Huntz is a true deep dive into how-tos and tactics, and it is a technical chat, but I think you all who have been long-time listeners to this show will appreciate it. Huntz has great advice on running a business, doing it ethically, how to talk to customers, and how to look at your data. And he does it in a way that’s entertaining. It’s educational And it’s just really good info. We’ll bring this all back around to the outdoors. Huntz closes with his story into hunting and fishing, and he’s grounded in some really great values. I know this is a technical show for some of you, but it’s also rare to hear such a transparent perspective. Huntz doesn’t worry about being PC—if it’s a bad marketing tactic, it’s a bad tactic.

“You would think in 2018, people from magazines and television networks would show up to R3. But they didn’t. To me, that just further shows the disconnect of where all of this has failed.”— AJ DeRosa, Creative Director, Northwoods Collective When we started Restless Native, we wanted people who never stayed idle. Never settled for status quo. And who are ever Restless. Today’s guest epitomizes that. A.J. DeRosa has become well known for his work with Project Upland, the incredible content series about chasing upland birds. From their podcast to their website, their magazine to their videos, Project Upland is one of the most, if not the most, downloaded and digested content on upland hunting in the history of pheasants, chukars and grouse. Plot twist: AJ is also an author on the incredible coveted book, the Urban Deer Complex. If you try to pick one of these up on Amazon or eBay, you’ll set yourself back about $200. AJ’s book outlines his tactics to hunt urban deer, such as applying pressure in their comfort zones of parks and playgrounds to push them into backyards, where he’ll be waiting in plain clothes. I met AJ in Lincoln Nebraska at R3. If you listened to any of my episodes from R3, that’s my first episode with Joe Betar and Buck Robinson, I believe I talked about the impression AJ made on me. In my opinion, guys like AJ need to be at the table when discussing R3, that’s recruitment, retainment and re-engagement of our nation’s hunters. AJ is not someone you’d picture as a hunter. He breaks the mold. We’ll talk about that in detail today, and he’s got a lot to say about R3 and what he thinks can be done. In addition to that resume, AJ is the Creative Director of Northwoods Collective, an ad agency for the outdoor space. As most of you know, that’s my background as well, so apart from the awesome beard and tattoos, AJ and I have a lot in common.

"I woke up at the hospital. I came to with a broken shoulder. The girls who found me, knew me, and they didn't recognize me. My buddy, the police officer, had tears in his eyes. All I could think about was my brother and I handling things." — Garrett L. George By their own definition, Trinity Oaks uses hunting and fishing to give back and make a difference in the lives of others. That’s veterans, children of our fallen first responders and veterans, kids who have terminal illnesses, and the hungry. We’re going to get into all of this through one of Trinity Oaks’ volunteers, Garrett George. Garrett is doing some fantastic work through Trinity Oaks. But he comes from a troubled past. It’s been a long, difficult journey for him. Now, I will say, through Garrett’s journey, there have been some troubling tales, which he’s candid about in this interview. This show may not be right for young listeners for that reason. There’s not any language or anything like that—but there is a recounting of a tale from Garrett’s past that could be a little intense for kids. As always, please log time for listening to this show on GoWild and let me know what you thought of the show. Garrett, our guest, is on there so tag him. My hope is this show leaves you inspired and looking to give back in a new way.

“I’d rather be a plumber and be the best I can be, and be able to hunt, rather than to push paint and never be able to hunt again. I feel like that’s more rewarding for me." - Ryan Kirby  Today’s guest would tell you he was born an artist. That the paint brush was as natural in his hand as a basketball to Kobe Bryant. I’m not sure I agree. OK, the Kobe Bryant analogy is mine, Ryan would never say that. And I’ll agree some folks are more artistically inclined than others. But even with today’s guest’s natural ability, I think it’d sell his work ethic short to say he didn’t earn his success by putting in his form of 10,000 hours. Ryan has won over a dozen awards from organizations like Outdoor Life, National Wild Turkey Federation, and Quality Deer Management Association. He’s painted dozens of works of art and these things sell for a premium. A couple of Ryan’s paintings may be worth more than your truck. And when you hear how much time and labor goes into one of these paintings, you’ll realize why his paintings sell for a premium.

Standby! You're going to want to listen to this one.

"Candid photography is so much more interesting to me. It can't be setup. You have to be quick with the trigger and you have to anticipate what people are going to do. There are no training wheels. You gotta be on your toes." — Donovan Sears Today, I have a discussion with my Co-Founder and good friend, Donovan Sears, which we documented on our way through South Texas. Donovan is an interesting guy. He’s by far the best designer I’ve ever known. I’ve said that before so that probably doesn’t come as news to long-time listeners. But he’s also a great father, musician, photographer, and woodworker. This episode isn’t directly about a hunting story. It has nothing really to do with hunting directly, other than the fact we’re driving on our way to a hunt. And at times I don’t even know what we’re talking about.

"I brought people here to show them there's a better way to do life. To do hunting. Butchering. Cooking. To think outside the box when it comes to getting dirty for your dinner. No one wants to help anyone in this industry. We're losing our culture. We're losing what we are and who we are. From Field to Plate classes are to do the opposite." — Jeremiah Doughty, Wild Game Chef with From Field to Plate Today’s audio is brutal at some points. And I will not apologize. So goes it in the field, so goes this podcast.   You’re going to hear the sound of guts suctioning out of a big game animal. You’ll hear a 70 pound gut bucket dragged across pavement. And you’ll hear the loud bangs and frying sounds in the kitchen as we cook up said animal. The quality of this podcast is in the realness. This show was captured during that process so many of us know well—immediately after an animal expires, and during the consumption of that animal. This is a special show coming from my recent trip to Texas. I knew finding time in this busy trip to do a podcast with Jeremiah would be tough. We hunted our tails off. We butchered for hours. And we ate. A lot. So we did this show while Jeremiah did what he does best.  If you don’t know Jeremiah, he’s the man behind From Field to Plate. You can find him on GoWild, Facebook or Instagram. His website is a wealth of information. He’s a wild game chef, or the Wild Chef, as we’ve been calling him. Jeremiah was one of the first 50-60 people to use the GoWild app. He tested it out before it launched and I knew he was someone I wanted to work with. Food is my thing. I’m hyper passionate about it, and likewise, I love hunting and see it as a tool to improve my food. Jeremiah’s story is similar. We don’t get into his story as deeply here. If you want to learn more about his background, go to episode 13 of Restless Native. He explains it there. For this show, we wanted to talk to him in his element. As he’s doing what he loves most— butchering and cooking. This guy is one of my favorite people. I mean that. I’ve gotten to know him on GoWild, via text messages and calls, and once I met him in person last week, it was like we had known each other for years. I am lucky to call this guy my friend. And I’m proud of what my friend is doing in this industry. I believe in him, and his brand, and I think his approach to game is spot on. No matter your experience in the woods, You will learn something on this show. I am fairly confident you haven’t heard a podcast like this before. This is real. This is raw. This truly From Field to Plate.

"One of the folks said, 'There's a fire. Bring shovels.' We jumped in the truck and drove as fast as we could to where they were talking about. We pull up and shut off the truck. We get out, and we start smelling burned rubber." — Stephen Holley, SIXSITE Founder Team GoWild is on the road. We’ve been down in Texas meeting up with Stephen Holley and Team SIXSITE where we also had a meet and greet. From there we crashed in Austin for a night before meeting up with Jeremiah Doughty for a three day whitetail hunt. We have a ton of awesome content coming from this trip, and that starts right now. I sat down with Stephen Holley, the founder of SIXSITE gear, as well as Jason Dickens, a hunting guide who works for SIXSITE. We had fun with this one and I hope you do, too.

This organization is a great supporter of hunters and conservation, and I am proud to partner with them. Hunting and conservation, what’s not to like, right? If you agree, great. Then I want you to come on to Houston, Texas with me to attend the Houston Safari Club Foundation’s Convention and Hunting Expo. This is a great chance for a family trip or a break away with the buddies. The convention is a celebration of wildlife, wild places and the hunting lifestyle we all love. It has thousands of visitors and exhibitors coming from all over the globe for a three day exposition. Beyond the convention, you can experience some amazing entertainment, with performances from folks like Corey Morrow, Rickey Davis and Billboard chart-frequent flyer, Kevin Fowler. There are banquets and luncheons, auctions and more stuff than I possibly have time to tell you about right now.

“You have two creatures who don’t have a purpose anymore—the mustang from the American West, and the American soldier. We take these two un-purposed creatures and give them purpose. We break that horse and give it to a veteran. The veteran has the purpose of leading that horse. And you can’t get on a horse without being a leader.” — Rick Franco, COO of Heroes and Horses You can’t cheat the mountain. Today we’re talking with a guy who is helping our nation’s heroes learn how to conquer mountains and deal with certain memories they have. We’re joined by Rick Franco of Heroes and Horses. Rick and his team are working to push veterans literally to the top of a mountain, and to find who they are again, and to make peace with some things that it’s just time to leave behind. This is a really interesting approach. I’ve never heard of anything this intensive. And I’m not aware of anything so holistic. You’ll hear Rick talk about how they address everything from nutrition to exercise to sleep to pharmaceuticals.  I want to thank Rick for his service in our military. And I know we have a lot of listeners who have served our country. I really think what you’ve done is among the most admirable things a person can do in this life. And I thank you. Also, if you have served our country and you are dealing with any issues of depression, please seek help. Reach out to the team at Heroes and Horses, or any of the 45,000 groups who want to help.

"Get out there and vote. Support your NGOs or your local organizations. Be involved. It's critically important that we're actively involved beyond going hunting. We must have our voice heard. We must put our money where our mouth is. And we must support individuals that are in support of maintaining the legacy we have in this country." — Joe Betar, Executive Director, Houston Safari Club Foundation Welcome to a special election day edition of Restless Native. If you hate politics, don’t go anywhere. We’re actually not getting into who you should vote for. On today’s show, we’re talking with Joe Betar with Houston Safari Club Foundation. You may recall Joe from a previous episode. He’s an incredibly smart fella, and a guy I’m happy to call a friend. While last time we talked about all of the great conservation and educational efforts Houston Safari Club Foundation promotes, I wanted to have Joe back on for this election day episode to talk about what he’s been doing on the lobbying and legislation side of things. Few people can talk about the impacts of conservation dollars like Joe. And beyond that, we’re going to get into how you can better inform your vote. And I beg of you to exercise your right to vote. There are few things more paramount to your right as an American than your right to vote.  Don’t take that for granted. And as Joe said, if you don’t vote, please, keep your complaints to yourself. You have an amazing opportunity to be a part of a solution. With how easy early voting is these days, you have no valid excuses. Please, put your mind to work. Evaluate the things that matter most to you. And cast your vote. Learn more about the convention Inform Yourself: Congressional Sportsmen  I Side With  NRA Houston Safari Club's website

"It stood up and he was dumbfounded. People came out and he was trying to warn them. He was waving to get their attention. They were waving like they didn't know what he was talking about. By then this thing just pounced them and mauled them." — Dave Jones, North American Dogman Project Co-Founder This is the second of a series about Dogman. To hear the first show, listen to Episode 36 with Dark Waters, the King of Horror.  What’s creepier, fantastical tales of Dogman, a monster lurking in the woods? Or forensic evidence of a creature proven to be catalyst of misery, maulings and murder? It's gotta be the evidence. The North American Dogman Project is here to say wait a second, maybe it does. They have investigated some horrifying tales. Stories of maulings, slaughters, horrific experiences that will make your blood run cold. I contacted Dave Jones and Joedy Cook out of the blue. I mean, out of nowhere. These guys could have ignored me. I’m an outsider and admittedly not necessarily a believer. But they agreed to come on and do a show to talk about what they’re doing. These guys are really interesting. They didn’t run from a single question. They hit them head on. And they’re open to criticism. I'm not going to let Dogman, or any man, keep me from the woods. And I don’t expect you will either. I bring you these conversations to expand your mind, so we can all learn and to gain new perspective.

Just like you, they train for the year to ensure they make a quick, ethical kill on the animal. To do that as an archer, you need a high quality broadhead in your quiver, which is why I’m bringing this message to you from our sponsor, Ramcat Broadheads. Keep listening—we’ve got a deal for you in just a second. First, I wanted to tell you about the technology behind these blades. Ramcats make a wickedly accurate broadhead that is known for being a highly technical and meticulously designed. They work a bit differently than what you’re use to. They have concave scoops that create an airfoil, which eliminates wind planing. This forces air to slip over the ferrule and arrow shaft for best in-class accuracy and impact energy. It’s time to put Ramcat’s top performance in your quiver. It doesn’t matter if you’re shooting a recurve, compound or crossbow, and no matter the speed of your bow.

"His brother on the front of the boat is screaming, and falling back towards him in the boat. The front half of this alligator is flying through the air at them. The other half is on the bank. This head came out of the brush and growled at him." — Dark Waters This is the first of a series about Dogman. To hear the second show, see Episode 37 with the North American Dogman Project.  Tonight, I bring you something different. This is something pulled from the shadows of the deepest, dankest and darkest parts of the woods. It's not just tales from the coldest and darkest of waters. We’re talking to the king of nightmares, an orator of real horrors, Dark Waters himself. I suspect Dark Waters is new to many of you. But among those who follow the paranormal will know—Dark Waters is a modern day storytelling legend. Dark Waters is conversationalist. An orator. A collector of tales that he believes to be true. We’ll hear about how he comes about these people, these horrifying experiences, and how he curates them down to the ones that have no room for doubt. These are real experiences. His process has taken thousands of phone calls. Hundreds of hours. And it’s only made possible by the memory of a man who is clearly gifted in the art of storytelling. Tonight may or may not make you a believer. But I promise it’ll sufficiently creep you out.

"This apparel represents what I stand for. There's that, and we're actively trying to promote conservation efforts." — Bud Fisher, Co-Founder, Catchin' Deers How many times have you and your buddies had a crazy idea, and said, “Somebody should do that. People would love it.” Typically, that conversation is where good ideas go to die. But not with today’s guest. Today we have Bud Fisher on the show. Many of you know his name, but if you don’t, you probably have heard of those Catchin’ Deers guys. The fellas who took an idea at hunt camp and turned it into a full fledged business. And they’re crushing it. Catchin’ Deers swept through social media a few years ago, and what started off as a few trucker hats turned into a business. Now, these guys aren’t all one-liners and a ridiculous logo. They’re smart. They know how to run a business. And they know how to market a product. We’ll dig into all of that today. If you’ve heard Bud in the past, stay tuned. I’ve heard those shows, too. I did my homework to ensure we tell just enough of how this thing got started, but we’ll hear him tackle a few new questions. Oh, and, I’ve got a surprise guest at the end. A fella who most Catchin’ Deers fans will recognize immediately. Let’s just say I’m getting some archery tips from a seasoned pro.

“I’m happy to put my neck on the line. I get a lot of anti-hunter threats. I got a $250,000 bounty on my head. But it’s something that has to be talked about.” — Olivia Opre, Hunting Consultant & Mrs. America Contestant  Imagine the amount of hate you must have in your heart to put a bounty on someone’s head. You must have really pissed somebody off, right? Today’s guest knows that kind of hate. And she knows it well. Olivia Opre has traveled the world hunting hippos, lions, elephants, and dozens of other species. It’s easy for the media to take that narrative and make her into a trophy hunter. It happens a lot. In fact, it’s happen so much, that Olivia has gotten really good at responding to this kind of sensationalism. In fact, she’s so good, I swear you might think some of these answers are scripted. They’re not. She’s just that confident, and that good. Olivia understands the complexities of hunting. And man, she has an interesting background. Like how she was once a Mrs. America contestant. Seriously! This podcast honestly flew by for me, and I think it will for you, too. It’s fun, educational and interesting. Check out her website.  Extreme Huntress.

“If you do not know something well, if you don’t have a sense of some place, you are not going to protect it.” — Mahting Putelis, Founder of Hunt to Eat Many American patriots and outdoorsmen embrace the Gadsden flag’s message of “Don’t Tread on Me.” I do, too, but sometimes we could use a reminder that the best defense, may actually be a good offense. In regards to telling our story of hunting in today’s world, we have to be careful when taking a Don’t Tread on Me philosophy. This same mentality is totally appropriate when toppling an oppressive government dictating your religious freedoms. It’s less so when used to defend your hunting privilege. A good offense is knowing that our story could offend voters who could take that privilege away from us, so we should do our best to stay on the offensive, doing good work to earn points for hunting. Take people into the locker room to show the camaraderie and fellowship of your hunting trip. Talk about what it’s like to have the world wake up around you, and to see the woods as the wolf does. Share your table fare both directly, by cooking for people who are curious about wild game, and also through your social media channels. All of these activities earn points for our lifestyle. I’m not advocating for never showing a trophy shot. But I am saying when you do, make sure you’re not just going through the motions. Think about the content. Remind yourself that your audience matters, no matter how many followers you have. We’re going to dive deeper into this conversation today. We’ll actually be talking about a lot of different things. Today’s guest is Mahting Putelis, the founder of Hunt to Eat. Mahting would be considered new to hunting and the hunting industry to some. He’s outspoken by nature, he’s ruffling some feathers for sure. He makes some from the old guard uncomfortable. He doesn’t care about hunting’s societal norms established thus far and is willing to speak up with he disagrees.

“We’ve had 4 young widows at these camps. And they want to take their kids hunting but they’ve lost their mentor. They come to us for basic skills so they can pass on to their kids and pass on the skills.” - Brittany Boddington Today I have a couple of women who see the hunting industry landscape, and they are getting involved in an interesting way. In this episode, we chat with Brittany and Shannon from She Hunts Skills Camp. They’re empowering women to sharpen their hunting skills in a camp that is just for women. The guests go through real, legitimate training with industry professionals to learn to shoot, stalk, butcher, the whole 9 yards. I was expecting to hear about how Shannon and Brittany had impacted people’s skill sets. What I wasn’t prepared for are how this camp has actually impacted people’s lives. It’s clear they’re making waves with the women who attend. I commend them for that and hope they see many years of success going forward with this. Hunting isn’t just man’s nature. It’s mankind’s.

“I didn’t have direct affinity for or against hunting, but if I had to choose, I was probably against it.” - Brad Neathery, CEO of Modern Huntsman Sometimes it seems Lincoln Tapp might have been right when he says social media is doing more harm for hunting than good. This weekend, animal rights activists coordinated a blitzkrieg against several well known hunters via multiple major platforms. While these animals were harvested legally and ethically, it didn’t matter. Some hunters made some great points in corresponding with this anti-hunters, but a few bad apples ruin the bunch. In this case, the whole bunch was already spoiled. It’s shameful how some people responded to the criticism. Telling people to F off and suck it. It’s moronic. And it’s essentially proving Lincoln right. GoWild has grown to be more than I ever initially conceived that first day. But it started with these same conversations. I was hiking down a mountainside after checking some trail cameras, when the absurdity of all of this polarity hit me. That same lightning strike hit Brad Neathery a few years ago, too. But it’s taken him an entirely different direction. Brad, and his business partner, Tyler, join us today to talk about their project, Modern Huntsman. While I went the digital route for my solution to the misunderstanding, they went old school. They founded a print publication to help people better understand what hunting is. That’s a really damn important conversation. We have a fun opportunity to get your hands on signed copies of Volume 2 of Modern Huntsman at the end of this podcast. This is a beautiful book you’ll be proud to leave on your coffee table as a conversation piece about why you hunt.

“Training can happen on your couch, in your living room. Don’t think of how everything is going to go right. Think of what can go wrong.” — Ryan Gresham “I can’t even imagine what that’s like.”How many times have you seen a tragedy on national news and said that? Often? Well, today’s guest is here to tell you that maybe you should try imagining.  Ryan Gresham knows a lot of about marketing, sales, and guns. His show runs a ton of different media opportunities, from podcasts to video to apps, and some of that content is around conceal carry. Ryan’s going to make a strong point about how you should carry yourself. How you should be thinking through worst case scenarios. And how if you know what you’d do in those worst case scenarios, you can turn worst case into best case. Ryan and I chat through all things gun related, and I even ask him about a product that’s been in the news lately, one that I just can’t quite get behind, even has a guy who owns and shoots a dozen guns or so myself. Ryan has good answer on that topic, too. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, I met Ryan through POMA. So many of you ask me how to get involved in the outdoors, and if you have asked me and haven’t looked into POMA, then I have to question how bad you really want it. This is a fantastic organization to help you get involved in the industry and meet people who could be your future employers, clients or partners. Check them out.

“This year I got a wakeup call. We were going to a fire and there’s fire everywhere. On both sides of the highway. And it felt like I was in the apocalypse.” — Lexi Quinn The word courage gets tossed around so much it almost loses its meaning. Does it really take courage to tell your boss they’re wrong? Maybe some. But if that is courage, maybe the word courage falls short of today’s guest. Imagine running into the face of danger while everyone else flees to protect property that isn’t yours, a wildland that isn’t your home, and with people you don’t know all that well. That’s what Lexi Quinn does for a living. Lexi is a wildland firefighter and has been fighting fires like those in California right now for years. We’re going to dive deep into what it took to pursue her dream and fascination with flame, where she finds her courage from and she’s going to tell some terrifying tales along the way. Lexi also explains how forest fires impact our vegetation and habitat, which I found really interesting. We chat her job for a while, then it gets deep. Lexi and I talk about mental wellbeing, freedom, being yourself, social media and hunter recruitment. She’s on assignment in Northern California and only has a couple of days off at a time. We're grateful for her time.  Restless Native needed its own home. So we built a new website that has all of the shows, merchandise, info about the team, and our contact info.

And thank you, to Houston Safari Club Foundation for sponsoring Restless Native.

"My marshal turns around and says, 'Hey Buddy." I turn around, and his face is ghost white. He's bent over in pain and says, 'You see that bank over there? We gotta go. Right now.' "  — John Hunter This episode's a funny one. We have John Hunter returning. You may recall John if you follow professional fishing. This year he fished the FLW, and he's fished the Bassmaster Elite Series, too. He's also GoWild's Chief Strategy Officer, meaning he heads up all things related to our product strategy when it comes to hunting and fishing. And as if he wasn't busy enough, he started a little company called Graph Glass. We'll catch up on how the season treated John, and quickly dive into questions from users. You'll hear Brad stumble through your very specific fishing questions, admit he uses a godawful fishing reel setup, and then comes some hilarious stories from John. Oh, and Donovan Sears makes an appearance to try and foil GoWild's plans for world domination. Ugh. Sit back. Grab some tissues to wipe those happy tears from your eyes.

“When I want something, I’m going to do it. It keeps me up at night. I try, and if it fails, I’ll try again.” — Brad Smith It’s hard to pinpoint when change is happening. It feels like it’s always happening and never happening. But in the age of storytelling and media, it’s happening right now. This interview is going to dig into that. What happens when an entity that is nearly synonymous with the Internet and freedom of speech decides to censor content? Hate speech is one thing, but what about when it's just something the entity doesn't like but it's totally legal? That's hunting. It will be interesting to see how digital censorship plays out. Now this episode isn’t all conspiracy theory discussion. That’s actually just a small part of it. But it was a part that's unique and extremely relevant to some things happening in the industry right now. Today’s guest is Brad Smith. Many of you will know Brad from his work with Wide Open Spaces, as well as for being the Founder of Walton Rods. We’ll hear Brad’s journey into both of these ventures today. Get ready. This one is like a stream. Long, deep and a fun journey.

"Life is a film reel, not a snapshot." — Eric Clark Eric Clark is the founder of Where to Hunt. He's built the app as a side hustle, and today, we're talking about how he's pursuing making it his full-time job. The American Dream is synonymous with this mental picture of rainbows and pots of gold. But in reality, the American Dream is like the weather: Rainbows don’t come until the storm passes. Chasing that dream is hard. It’s more challenging than I ever thought. It weighs on me more than I tell people. Having the responsibilities of being the catalyst for a company—the make it happen person, the ideator, the chief of sales and head honcho of finance? All of that comes with a lot of stress in hopes of a reward. Those rewards vary—some do it to get rich, while some do it just in hopes of supporting their family while doing what they love. The stress is ubiquitous either way. I’ve talked about those challenges a lot on this show from my perspective with GoWild. Today I am pumped to bring on a tech entrepreneur in the outdoors space who is going to give us his perspective. Welcome to Restless Native, Eric Clark. Download Where to Hunt for iPhone or Android.

"I gave myself three years. If this show wasn't profitable in three years, then I probably didn't belong on television. I kept it real. I was honest. And it's working out pretty well." - Gus Congemi, Host of Live the Wild Life Networking and relationships can take you a long ways. Today we’re talking to a guy who will time and time again echo this statement. Make sure you don’t just have talent, you better build some relationships along the way. I wasn’t too familiar with Gus Congemi, the host of the show Live the Wild Life, until I started working with Arcus for GoWild. And really, I hadn’t had a chance to really dive into his content until recently when I started preparing for this chat. What I found was I really liked Gus’ content and Gus. As a hunter, he’s very different than a lot of the personalities out there. And his show has a lot to like about it. Somewhere in watching four or five episodes for prep, I kind of forgot I was prepping and just found myself along for the ride. If you aren’t familiar with his show, I’m willing to bet some of you have seen a famous shot of Gus staring down a 10 foot tall brown bear with his bow in hand. It’s an epic photograph and even better story. Gus is going to tell that tale and quite a few more. Enjoy it.

As many of you know, GoWild has partnered with From Field to Plate and SIXSITE to promote hunter recruitment with a sweepstakes valued at over $4,500. The sweepstakes ran for 2 months, and collectively generated nearly 3,000 new hunters and anglers for 2018. "I know this is a drop in the bucket in what the industry needs, but we're proud to be working with people and brands who understand that if we all just work together, these small efforts can eventually create bucket loads of new hunters and anglers," said GoWild Co-Founder Brad Luttrell. "For being as young of a company as we are, we're proud to see our little ol' community be this activated and inspired to jump in and solve this R3 issue." Team GoWild sat down on August 1 and called one random winner for the sweepstakes. You can listen to the episode above to see who won and just how that announcement went. The winner will join GoWild Co-Founders Brad Luttrell and Donovan Sears on an all-expense-paid hunting trip to Texas, where wild game chef Jeremiah Doughty will teach his process of hunting, butchering and cooking whitetail. SIXSITE will outfit the winner in their USA-made, high-quality camo. "We want to give back to those who are giving," said Doughty. "I want to be a part of the winner's life, because this will be a person who is pledging to help make an impact." Note: There is no video. Sorry. **About SIXSITE** Founded in 2015, SIXSITE is a high-performance hunting and outdoor apparel and gear provider.

"No matter where I've been or what I've done, it turns out, the most important aspect of it have been the people. I don't remember the photos as much as the relationships." — Tony Bynum Speaking up in contest when you know it could not only lead to backlash, but cost you clients and therefore your livelihood is not only courageous, it’s typically the makeup of a leader, which is who we have today. Tony Bynum is an outdoor photographer and the president of the Professional Outdoor Media Association by title, but he’s so much more than that. He's an activist as much as a conservationist. Tony is incredibly passionate about wildlife. You’ll find few people who dedicate so much of their life to improving our nation’s public lands and wildlife, as well as telling that story. You may have recently seen Tony’s image of a massive grizzly bear on the cover of Outdoor Life. It was the primary image for a story about the return of the grizzly bear and the science behind the hunt. He creates this kind of beautiful imagery time and time again. Tony tells all kinds of stories. And you'll find out a bit more about Brad today. This is a great one. Enjoy!

"As an industry, if we keep drinking out of the same watering hole, we're all going to be thirsty." — Joshua Stratton, Against the Current I love disruptive people. If you’re building a product, or using products or marketing tactics in an unexpected way, or doing something entirely different, that takes courage. That’s Joshua Stratton. Today’s guest is not afraid to speak his mind. He’s not afraid to talk about the shortcomings of the outdoors industry. And he’s not afraid to talk about his shortcomings. Joshua didn’t come from hunting heritage. So in a lot of ways, he’s the guy we’ve talked so much about recruiting. We need people who might find this way of life interesting for the recreation and the meat acquisitions—not because it’s what their grandfather did. That’s a great tactic to grow the lifestyle we all love. Joshua and I talk about those R3 efforts, that’s recruitment, retainment and re-engagement. But we’re going so much deeper. This guy gets deep. We’re going to discuss religion, humanity, parenthood, consumerism, business and bears. And more. Joshua and I met at POMA, or the Professional Outdoor Media Association.

“You can’t blame hunters for the creation of humans.” — Lincoln Tapp, Bowhunter & Host of YoungWild Lincoln Tapp has become pretty well known within the hunting community. He’s currently chasing a goal that’s almost synonymous with his name. He’s spent a third of his life traveling across North America in an attempt to become the youngest person to harvest 29 of North America’s Big Game Animals. At 12 years old, Lincoln became the youngest known archer to harvest the Stone Sheep. He checked another box at 14 when he became the youngest archer to harvest the Super 10 of North American Big Game, and he also completed his archery Grand Slam with the Four North American Wild Sheep, which means he harvested Dall’s, Stone’s Sheep, Rocky Mountain Bighorn and Desert Bighorn sheep. Lincoln is also the host of “YoungWild” which you can find on the Outdoor Channel. I think about how young he is, and I'm so impressed and optimistic. This isn't your typical celebrity. This is a guy whose peers are thinking of prom dates and their first cars. So if we slow down and realize how far ahead he is from a typical person his age, he feels 20 years ahead of his time. This is a great conversation with a young man I'm now proud to know. I hope you enjoy.

“It hit me that if this could happen to a 10 year old, it could be me. For a minute I was lost, not knowing what to do next. Since my experience going hunting, I’ve done things I would have never done before.” — Marcus Stiggers, SIXSITE When I look at our industry, I’m inspired most by brands that market through empowerment, not impossibility. SIXSITE is one of those brands. Stephen Holley, the founder, understands that he makes a high end product, but he also understands the market well. He’s marketing to a new generation of hunters. And he’s marketing to a generation that’s largely untapped. While SIXSITE does make high-quality gear, the organization understands the lay of the land. They’re doing their part to get more people outside. Overall, that creates a healthy industry, and a healthy industry is good for business. And also at the root of this is doing the right thing. We’re going to hear from one of those people that SIXSITE has activated. Marcus Stiggers has suffered incredible loss. And he’s going to tell us about that loss, and how it’s changed his life. And how all of this ultimately brought him into this wonderful world of hunting. This podcast is hard to summarize. Overall, I am proud to know and work with, Stephen Holley. I respect what they’re doing in the industry and that they’re playing the long game. I also have an incredible amount of respect for Marcus for what he’s gone through and how he’s pushing Away Video Afield Cookbook link Link to podcast with him on Hunting Collective SIXSITE’s website New video of Marcus’ first hunt **This episode is brought to you by Houston Safari Club Foundation** This episode of Restless Native is brought to you by Houston Safari Club Foundation.

"People have failure. People should know that. If they come into this and think they're going to have a 100% success—they're not. Learning from your failures makes you a better hunter. And that has to happen." — Kimmi Greentree Some of you know today’s guest because of her husband. But in a little over an hour, you’ll see she stands out on her own. Prior to my interview, I admired Kimmi Greentree's authenticity and self awareness. Her social media profiles are hilarious and I liked her. But in a very impersonal way, similar to how you might think a comedian is funny. Or how you might like to follow a social media account because they post good memes. But after this conversation, I really connected with that authenticity, and saw it being applied into the outdoors space. She doesn’t apologize for her feelings. She doesn’t apologize for not knowing something. She doesn’t apologize for disagreement, even with her husband. She doesn’t apologize for her experiences. Kimmi is Adam Greentree’s wife. Many of you will know Adam as the bowhunter who’s blown up recently. He’s been on Joe Rogan quite a bit, which I know a lot of you enjoy, as do I. I wanted to know what it’s like to have a family, and a husband who's traveling all over the globe hunting. We're going to talk life, loss, love, and more in this show. And it's a fantastic conversation. Restless Native Shirts are Still Available—But Limited We do still have a few of our shirts left. You can grab one today for $20 and shipping is free.

Hey everyone, welcome to the podcast. Recently I joined my buddy Brad on his podcast Restless Native. Brad is a great entrepreneur and great interviewer. He also built the goWild App that you have probably heard me talk about. I always enjoy chatting with him, but I wanted to share this episode with you guys because […]

“When we get a bird, that’s when I’m going to decide. Am I really a hunter? Or am I a nature photographer?" - Chris Gleim This show's a little different. I documented my co-founder's first hunting experience. You'll hear the excitement in his voice pre-hunt, the self doubt and curiosity of what it will be like to take an anima's life, and the overall the highs and lows hunters deal with. It's an honest, first-hand account of what it is like to try hunting for the first time. Chris Gleim is the Chief Development Officer at GoWild. He's an avid hiker and outdoors enthusiast. And now, he's a hunter. Since working on GoWild, he had gotten more and more interested in hunting culture, and decided he wanted to go himself. So we decided to make it happen this turkey season and document the experience. I wanted to do this to encourage all of you to take someone hunting for the first time. As I type these show notes, I'm coming out of the R3 Symposium (Recruitment, Retainment, and Reactivation), which was held in Lincoln, Nebraska. I've spent three days listening to some of the most experienced people in the hunting industry brainstorm how they can solve the problem to stop the decline in hunters. Here's the thing: If all of you, and all of your friends, and all of their friends can start to take someone hunting for the first time every year, we can curb this ourselves. We don't need the industry to figure it out—we can be the answer. Remember, we're stronger together.

That's who we'll be talking to and just how we're going to pull off a podcast about everything—conservation, fitness, music, food, hunting, humanity, fishing, entrepreneurship, the environment, and just interesting people. Check out the Restless Native Spotify playlist to hear songs we talk about and other favorites of mine.
