Ep. 366 – Matt Wemple: Finding Yourself in Wild Places

What can the outdoors teach us about living a better, more intentional life?

In this episode of The On Purpose Podcast, Jerrod Hardy sits down with lifelong outdoorsman and author Matt Wemple to explore the restorative power of nature, the importance of community, and why some of the best stories belong to the ordinary people we encounter every day.

From growing up exploring the woods and swamps of Louisiana to building a life in southwest Montana, Matt shares how hunting, fishing, backpacking, faith, and storytelling have shaped the way he sees the world. They discuss why getting outside helps quiet the noise of modern life, the value of being present, and why we need each other more than we sometimes realize.

Matt also shares lessons from writing five books about Montana's people, traditions, and wild places—and why preserving those stories matters. His writing is rooted in the belief that extraordinary people are often hiding in plain sight.
