WARNING: Listener discretion is advised.

This episode contains the harrowing details of  a traumatic grizzly bear attack and mentions a suicide attempt. 

When the wilderness speaks, Jeremy Evans listens—but nothing could have prepared him for the day nature's ferocity answered back. In a candid and gripping conversation, Jeremy, a seasoned outdoorsman turned author, recounts the visceral terror of a bear attack during a remote sheep hunting trip in Alberta's mountains.

Jeremy describes the violent clash that pitted him against a grizzly's rage. Beyond the physical ordeal, he delves into the psychological aftermath, laying bare the complexities of mental health and the arduous journey of recovery.

His story is not just a chilling survival saga—it's a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the healing power of humor, and the strength found in family bonds.

His narrative is punctuated by moments of unexpected levity, like the echo of "Baby Shark" that propelled him forward, and leads into his purpose-driven initiatives, like the Grizzly Dude Fund.

Jeremy transforms his pain into advocacy, inspiring us all to rise from adversity. His journey is not merely about enduring the wild—it's about transforming trauma into a beacon of hope for others.

Dan Lowes, our guest who takes us from the cockpit of an RAF fighter jet to the frontlines of leadership consultancy.

From member of the elite Red Arrows, and now, a mentor guiding sports teams and leaders in the relentless pursuit of excellence.

Peer into the intricate dance of debriefing, not just routine but an art form that can mean the difference between success and failure. Daniel's vivid narratives take us through the psychological undercurrents of high-performance teams, where trust is the currency and clear communication the lifeline.

The tales of his tenure with the Red Arrows, combined with the wisdom he imparts to leaders under pressure, underscore the profound impact of leadership styles that foster growth, adaptability, and a culture where learning from errors is not feared but embraced.

As we chart the course of Daniel's storied career, we're reminded that true excellence is a pursuit rather than a destination. He shares the strategies for building cohesive relationships within a team, and the importance of humility and self-awareness in the face of ego.
