What happens when a successful executive trades the corporate grind for a life of global hunting and raw adventure? Lucas shares his journey from Montana farm kid to world-traveling hunter, revealing why he walked away from a 22-year career at 42 to chase purpose, not paychecks. From surviving a brown bear charge in Alaska to feeding entire villages in Africa, his story blends thrill, ethics, and a deeper connection to nature. Whether you're into conservation, travel, or redefining success—this episode will make you rethink what it means to truly live.
