On this episode, Adam is joined by the President and CEO of Leupold & Stevens Inc., Bruce Pettet.

Leupold is one of the most time-tested and proven brands in the hunting and shooting industry and on this episode, you're going to find out exactly why that is the case.

Bruce and Adam discuss the incredible legacy of the brand, what makes the company and its products so special and why, if you're in the market for optics this year, Leupold should be at the top of your list.

Be Relentless Brand Anthem

On this episode, Adam (Janke) is joined by the Fossman himself, Adam Foss. Adam (Foss) was one of the earliest guests we ever featured on the show and a lot has changed since then. He has embarked on a new career path and the hunting media landscape has never been more dynamic.

The two Adams spend most of this episode discussing how the "story" of conservation has been told over the past few decades and how we can and should use creativity to tell that story in a more resonant fashion moving forward.

Adam (Foss) is doing a lot of exciting work in the conservation space, is very passionate about conservation and the role hunting plays in achieving conservation goals, and given this shared passion, the Adams have a very interesting discussion about how storytelling plays a critical role in keeping both hunting and conservation relevant in today's media landscape.

***WARNING: STRONG AND EXPLICIT LANGUAGE IS USED ON THIS SHOW***

On this episode, we feature a group discussion with nine guys, all of whom were at WSF's Sheep Show last week.

We recorded this episode in one of our hotel rooms just before attending the Grand Finale Banquet so, the audio quality is not as high as we would normally produce, but given the size of the group and the microphone system required it's the best we could do. It's not bad, but it's not up to our usual standard.

In addition, this podcast contains some strong and explicit language, so if you often listen to podcasts in the vehicle with your kids, this is not one to do so with. We do apologize if anyone takes offense to the language used, but the topics covered are ones we are all, very obviously, passionate about. At least in some circles (like ours), when you get a group of guys together that feel strongly about a given subject, the language is going to get a little colorful at times. That said, the topics covered are very interesting given the very eclectic group of guys huddled around the microphone.

The group includes a mix of people from all over Canada and the US, some with lots of hunting experience, others with minimal hunting experience and each with different connections to hunting. We dive into all that and more.

What does hunting mean to us on an individual level? How does the act of killing an animal actually feel? How does both the hunting and non-hunting community communicate the reasons we hunt? How do the complexities of conservation fit into the modern media landscape? It's a wide-ranging conversation, but one that is quite interesting given the people involved.

On that note specifically, the guys present are:

• Joshua Skenes, a relatively new hunter and world-renowned chef that owns one of the Top 50 restaurants in the world.
• Matt Martinez, a long-time hunter and modern renaissance man with experience and success in the business, art and photography world.
• Mike Pedersen and Kelly Molnar from The Rookie Hunter Podcast.
• Nolan Osborne, mountain hunting guide, JOMH Assistant Editor and our staff millennial.
• Peter Gutsche, a BC resident who's been hunting his entire life that's deeply passionate about mountain hunting and conservation.
• Matt Comment, past guest, East Coaster, experienced mountain hunter and passionate conservationist.
• Connor Gabbott, past guest, chef, photographer and dedicated mountain hunter.

On this episode, Adam is joined by Bill Roden. Bill is a branding executive in the outdoors industry and a very passionate outdoorsman in the broadest sense possible. He is also an active member of a whole host of conservation and environmental organizations, including the BHA, RMEF, Pheasants Forever, TRCP, Trout Unlimited, QDMA, and the Sierra Club.

Adam and Bill dive into a broad and lengthy discussion that surrounds the state of marketing, advertising and social media in the hunting industry. How are we representing our community on both an individual and brand level? How do the images and messages we put forth, both literal and figurative, impact our future?

This is obviously a subject we've covered before, but Bill has spent his entire career immersed in the marketing and advertising business, so he brings a unique and experienced perspective to bear on this topic. If hunting is to remain relevant in the modern media landscape, this is a topic we cannot ignore. Enjoy!
