A hunter-philosopher, Jesse C. McEntee of Next Adventure on Substack has become one of my favorite writers on any platform. Applying his creative and reflective perspectives, Jesse is a master at using nature as a reference for living to the fullest.

His writing on fatherhood also ranks with some of the best wisdom I’ve found which is why a good amount of this conversation was spent discussing the beauty of being a dad.

Other topics we discussed: nature as a classroom, answering your calls, phases of life, reflecting on the past and future, showing up, staying human in a digital world, artificial intelligence as a tool while maintaining your skills and authenticity, active philosophy, and much more.

I intended on asking him many questions about hunting and maybe sharing a few stories but never got there. Amazing how time flies during a good conversation.

Looking forward to doing it again sometime!

You’ll hear us discuss AdventureStack, a collection of accounts that Jesse has put together to highlight adventure-themed writers.
