Fishing With a Mission: Gene Campbell on Healing America’s Heroes
Join The ToosDay Crue as hosts Stephen and Jake sit down with Gene Campbell, founder of True Patriot Outfitters, an organization changing lives through mission-driven outdoor experiences, kayak fishing, and friendship-centered healing.
Gene spent 20+ years in the IT industry, coached youth athletics for over a decade, and rediscovered purpose after volunteering with Purple Heart veterans—a moment that reshaped the trajectory of his life. Today, his nonprofit brings connection, coping tools, and renewed purpose to veterans, first responders, and warfighting families through the power of the outdoors.
In this episode, Gene breaks down:
• How fishing becomes a vehicle for emotional reset and resilience
• Why outdoor-based healing works for veterans and first responders
• The “Fishin’ With a Mission” model and how it transforms lives
• His personal journey through coaching, career transitions, and rediscovering purpose
• What drives TPO to build mission-oriented healing experiences
