Episode 54 - From Small-Town Roots to a Fishing YouTube Channel with 94,000+ Subscribers w/Caleb Wistad

“From Small-Town Roots to a Fishing YouTube Channel with 94,000+ Subscribers.”

In Episode 54 of Men Pursuing More, we sit down with Caleb Wistad, who takes us through his amazing journey from plumber in Spooner, Wisconsin to turning his passion for fishing into a YouTube channel with over 94,000+ loyal subscribers. Caleb shares the lessons learned from small-town life, leadership roles, and hands-on work that shaped his resilience, character, and willingness to take risks. He also talks about how his lifelong passion for fishing and hunting—nudged by his wife’s encouragement to post a simple photo on Instagram—unexpectedly sparked a new direction.

Caleb walks us through his early hesitation with filming, hitting his first 1,000 subscribers, and the persistence that helped him grow his YouTube channel to over 94,000 subscribers. He breaks down the process of recording alone, filming in different locations, learning to edit, and analyzing data to understand what truly resonates. Caleb also shares why he stepped away from his successful plumbing business, the best advice he’s ever received, the people who shaped him, and his final thoughts for men striving to grow personally and professionally.
