In this episode of 10 Minute Tuesday, Nolan opens up about the tension between growth and authenticity. From drawing a Wyoming antelope tag to prepping for early season hunts in North Dakota, he shares his excitement, physical progress, and bow shooting practice. But beyond the hunts, he reflects on his recent transition into a new fire department and the challenges of stepping outside his comfort zone—a journey that’s brought physical, mental, and emotional transformation.

Nolan also peels back the curtain on his internal conflict with podcasting and the outdoor industry's shift toward self-branding. As host of the Dojo, he wrestles with staying true to himself while navigating the social media landscape. This episode is a raw, reflective reminder of why it all started—for the love of the hunt, personal growth, and honoring the experience over the ego. It’s an honest look at passion, purpose, and what it really means to walk your path in the hunting world.
