Brandon Sewell knows the sound of boots hitting the desert sand and the feel of a bowstring in his calloused hands. After 20 years of service in the U.S. Army—with tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond—he’s now staring down retirement and dreaming about the Texas whitetail woods he’s been away from for too long.
In this episode, Brandon opens up about finding balance between duty, family, and a deep love for the outdoors. He shares a gut-wrenching story from Afghanistan that changed how he sees life back home—and how hunting and running have been his therapy through it all. From bowhunting in the Texas hill country to chasing pigs with thermals and suppressors, this one’s packed with grit, laughs, and hard-earned perspective.
There’s no sugarcoating here—just a real conversation about life, loss, and legacy.
Pull up a chair. This is one every hunter, veteran, and family man needs to hear.
