He describes being entrusted with the sacred bundle at age twelve, during an era when Native ceremonies were pushed into hiding and public prayer at sacred sites was not protected until the American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978.

America’s grasslands are disappearing in plain sight, and the ripple effects hit everything from bobwhite quail and pheasants to pollinators, water quality, and the long-term health of working farms and ranches.

The conversation opens with Scott Mann’s one-man play, 11 Days, drawn from Operation Pineapple Express and the final, chaotic days of the Afghanistan withdrawal. He explains why live theater is a different kind of truth telling: it reaches veterans, military families, and civilians who only absorbed political sound bites and 24-7 news coverage. By touring community venues around key anniversaries, the project ...

Joe Betar’s debut thriller novel, HAMMER, is built on a simple promise: put a capable hero in an unfair situation, then force him to chase the truth faster than the system can. The story follows Jack "Hammer" Garrett, a retired UFC world champion who walks away from the cage to build a quieter life in the Texas Hill Country as a rancher, hunting operator, and shooting instructor. That calm does not last. A per...

If you use your pickup for hunting, farming and ranching, fishing, construction, daily work, travel, overlanding, or just hauling around friends and family on your next adventure, you already know the problem: the truck bed becomes a rolling pile of gear. Tools slide, straps vanish, and the one item you need ends up buried at the back of the cab. Truck bed storage and truck bed organization aren’t just about b...
The conversation with Tyler Sharp of Modern Huntsman, begins with a childhood in Texas and an unexpected path through USC film school that led to an unfiltered apprenticeship in Tanzania. Six months in the bush without phones or modern buffers delivered a crash course in risk, awe, and humility. Lions in the camp and black mambas in the bathroom have a way of recalibrating priorities. The real transformation, though...

Long-range shooting has never been more accessible, yet it’s never been easier to get lost in noise. In my conversation with former sniper and instructor Ryan Cleckner, we cut through mystique and marketing to focus on what truly moves rounds onto steel and animals humanely. Ryan’s new book, "Advanced Long Range Shooting", extends his beginner-friendly approach into “advanced” territory witho...
The conversation with Steve Hall opens a wide door into the living history of hunter education, public outreach, and the ethics that keep our outdoor heritage strong. A childhood BB gun accident where he shot his tongue became a turning point, driving a lifelong commitment to safety and responsibility. After earning a wildlife biology degree, Steve found his way to Texas Parks and Wildlife, where he spent decades ex...
We trace Kenny’ Feinstein’s path from punk rock fueled kid to a bluegrass lifer, the rise, collapse, and rebirth of Water Tower, and how LA off-ramps became a writing room, rehearsal space, and lifeline. We als discuss how a fateful encounter with 311’s Nick Hexum and a shared love for Americans roots music and sober living led to Water Tower touring and performing with Nick on his solo, “Not...
The heart of this conversation is creative courage. Nick Hexum traces a path from chasing hyper-modern sounds to falling in love with instruments that predate rock, and the shift isn’t a gimmick; it’s a return to vulnerability. He talks about mandolin, pedal steel, and the one-mic stagecraft that forces projection and blend, like old halls before PA systems. That choice changes everything about performan...
A law degree is an unlikely trailhead to bison ranching, yet the path makes sense when conservation is the compass. Matt left Chicago for Bozeman with a plan to protect wild places and ended up building a land-based business that treats the animal and the prairie as one living system. The ranch sits in Montana’s Shields Valley, chosen for its ranching culture and distance from sprawl. After months of “sp...
Kent Savage explores his work and history of Capital Farm Credit, one of the key partners with the Houston Safari Club Foundation Convention (Jan 23-25, 2026 in the Woodlands). Kent, a 7th generation Texan grew up on a ranch and spent nearly his entire career in the agricultural and land business in one way or another. As he mentions, lending for land is a craft that blends appraisal, local knowledge, and honest gui...
Careers rarely move in straight lines. Jason Feifer’s story starts with small-town reporting and a big realization: nobody is coming to pick you. He quit, pitched cold, and built momentum by chasing what nobody asked him to do—what he calls Opportunity Set B. That shift, from waiting to initiating, offers a practical blueprint for entrepreneurs and professionals. If you deliver only what’s expected...
Pat Kelly’s incredible debut thriller novel, Rifle Season, is rooted in Colorado’s Western Slope, where elk rifle season draws strangers with rifles and mixed motives. Kelly explains how the book springs from decades of living among hunters, absorbing the rhythms of weather, pressure, and terrain. The inciting spark is painfully human: a careful and well-respected guide, Mason “Mace” Winters,...
Drew Davis was born with cerebral palsy, yet he refuses to be boxed in by limits or pity. He built Stacked Sauces to prove that humor, heat, and purpose can coexist, and he has the receipts: hundreds of thousands of bottles sold, national media, hundreds of millions of views, and a growing movement to change the lives of the disabled community, and of course, making some damn fine hot sauce, while he's at it!
