Restless Native

“It hit me that if this could happen to a 10 year old, it could be me. For a minute I was lost, not knowing what to do next. Since my experience going hunting, I’ve done things I would have never done before.”— Marcus Stiggers, SIXSITEWhen I look at our industry, I’m inspired most by brands that market through empowerment, not impossibility. SIXSITE is one of those brands.Stephen Holley, the founder, understands that he makes a high end product, but he also understands the market well. He’s marketing to a new generation of hunters. And he’s marketing to a generation that’s largely untapped.While SIXSITE does make high-quality gear, the organization understands the lay of the land. They’re doing their part to get more people outside. Overall, that creates a healthy industry, and a healthy industry is good for business. And also at the root of this is doing the right thing.We’re going to hear from one of those people that SIXSITE has activated. Marcus Stiggers has suffered incredible loss. And he’s going to tell us about that loss, and how it’s changed his life. And how all of this ultimately brought him into this wonderful world of hunting.This podcast is hard to summarize. Overall, I am proud to know and work with, Stephen Holley. I respect what they’re doing in the industry and that they’re playing the long game. I also have an incredible amount of respect for Marcus for what he’s gone through and how he’s pushingAway VideoAfield Cookbook linkLink to podcast with him on Hunting CollectiveSIXSITE’s websiteNew video of Marcus’ first hunt**This episode is brought to you by Houston Safari Club Foundation**This episode of Restless Native is brought to you by Houston Safari Club Foundation.

"People have failure. People should know that. If they come into this and think they're going to have a 100% success—they're not. Learning from your failures makes you a better hunter. And that has to happen."— Kimmi GreentreeSome of you know today’s guest because of her husband. But in a little over an hour, you’ll see she stands out on her own.Prior to my interview, I admired Kimmi Greentree's authenticity and self awareness. Her social media profiles are hilarious and I liked her. But in a very impersonal way, similar to how you might think a comedian is funny. Or how you might like to follow a social media account because they post good memes.But after this conversation, I really connected with that authenticity, and saw it being applied into the outdoors space. She doesn’t apologize for her feelings. She doesn’t apologize for not knowing something. She doesn’t apologize for disagreement, even with her husband. She doesn’t apologize for her experiences.Kimmi is Adam Greentree’s wife. Many of you will know Adam as the bowhunter who’s blown up recently. He’s been on Joe Rogan quite a bit, which I know a lot of you enjoy, as do I. I wanted to know what it’s like to have a family, and a husband who's traveling all over the globe hunting.We're going to talk life, loss, love, and more in this show. And it's a fantastic conversation.Restless Native Shirts are Still Available—But LimitedWe do still have a few of our shirts left. You can grab one today for $20 and shipping is free.

"I caught a 125 pounder, and the guide looked at it and said, 'We gotta turn it loose.'"— Bobby Stoker recapping his trip to Alaska.Today’s episode is interesting.We’re going to hear some stories from two different generations, in the same industry but approaching it from vastly different angles. Bobby Stoker is a third generation tobacco man. Jared Boyce, better known by many as simply “Outlaw,” is a famous YouTuber in the tobacco and outdoors space.I recently fished with both of these guys in Alaska, chasing King Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, and yes, even those unworthy little black bass (more on that in the show). We had a great time, and one night we decided to bust out the podcast and video gear and record a conversation.I've worked with Bobby and Stokers a lot over the years, but I wasn’t sure what to expect when I met Jared. I was pretty sure this guy was a content creating genius, having tapped into a perfect niche—one that was underserved on the content perspective, and one he understood well.Jared is as I expected—very intelligent, and there's more to him than you can get from his YouTube channel. That said, his YouTube channel is full of hilarious parody and wild hunting and fishing content, so be sure to check that out.This interview closes out in the weirdest way. I can’t even tease it. You just have to listen to it to find out what happened. It was completely unscripted and unpredictable. I mean, you can’t predict or set this up. If you don’t believe it’s real, find Jared’s youtube channel and watch the video. I haven’t seen his video yet but I can’t imagine this part didn’t make it in.More about Stoker's and future sweepstakesJared on YouTubeJared's Video from this Show**Enter the From Field to Plate Sweepstakes Win a Free Hunt**Make sure you check out our sweepstakes with From Field to Plate and SIXSITE!

"I can take one person hunting, but we all need to realize we're all part of a larger network. We've all got to get involved. One person is not too small to make a difference."- Joe Betar, Houston Safari ClubYou know those people you meet and connect with immediately? The ones who cause you to quickly forget you don’t know them all that well?That’s Joe Betar.Joe is today’s guest. He's with Houston Safari Club, and we caught up recently in Lincoln, Nebraska—my first trip there this year. We were both there for R3, the symposium pulled together to solve for huntings challenges, specifically when it comes to recruitment, retainment and reactivation.Joe and I really don’t know each other what I would call well. But at times in this show I forgot that, and I bet you will, too. He’s that kind of guy. Easy going. We have a lot in common, so it made chatting easy. One of those things is we have both switched industries entirely and moved into the hunting industry, coming from very different backgrounds. We also both have a passion for activating a new generation in hunting.Joe is the Executive Director at Houston Safari Club. For many of you, you’re going to be surprised what that actually means. I can almost guarantee many of you don’t know what they do. I know I didn’t know to what extent they were involved in these things.Learn more about Houston Safari ClubTake our pledge to take someone hunting or fishing and be entered for a chance to win a free hunt with Jeremiah Doughty.

“I’m here today because of the way my grandfather established this brand. I’m still riding the wave today.” — Adam WeatherbySeven decades ago, Weatherby magnums were flipping the industry on its head for their velocity and flat trajectory performance.And they’re still leading the way.Weatherby needs no intro. It’s the gun you’ve lusted for. It’s an elite brand you respect, even if you’ve never fired one or even seen one yourself. That kind of brand equity takes sweat equity. And Roy Weatherby had that and more.Today we're talking to Adam Weatherby, the President of Weatherby and grandson of Roy. In this episode we'll talk about the legacy and brand that Roy built, how Roy impacted his son, Ed, and Adam's journey to lead.Adam’s done a lot of podcasts, but I promise you, if you’ve heard him before, stick around. He even said at the end of the show, he’s never done a show like this.DON'T MISS THE FROM FIELD TO PLATE SWEEPSTAKES, SPONSORED BY SIXSITEAlso, make sure you check out our sweepstakes with From Field to Plate and SIXSITE!

"There are no sacred cows here. Do you care about preserving a memory, or do you care about preserving a lifestyle?"— Buck RobinsonI met Buck Robinson very early into my journey with GoWild. We're both entrepreneurs, but he's a few years ahead of our team with GoWild in our journey. I've admired him and his team's ability to scale and bring their vision to life.Team GoWild fully believes in what Buck is doing. You've heard it before—access is one of the toughest challenges for hunters. Outdoor Access not only solves for that in a way that's extremely affordable for outdoorsmen, it's benefiting the land owners, too. It's not all peaches and cream, though. Buck outlines his growing pains, too.Buck and I will discuss the reason we were together—the R3 Conference. We'll share our criticism of the effort, along with what we found hopeful. We talk through an interesting way to get new people outside for the first time, and you might just already have it in your closet.Buck is a great, hilarious dude. I had a great time chatting with him. I'll leave you with this:"Hunting isn't about something dying. It's about something living, within you." - Buck

"I thought, 'there's gotta be a better way.' So I said, I'm going to start something to teach people to go from field to plate, with respect, honor and integrity."- Jeremiah Doughty, From Field to PlateThis show is with someone with a lot of drive. And talent. And maybe most importantly, a guy with a passion for helping others experience the outdoors.For episode 13, we welcome Jeremiah Doughty, who many of you would probably be more likely to recognize as the "From Field to Plate" guy. He’s a hunter, angler and amazing chef, and in this episode, we'll talk about his path to becoming a guy who's sponsored by some major brands in the industry, as well as how he's turned down more money because to him, it's about the people, not the paycheck.Jeremiah's version of success is probably different from many. He doesn’t care about the Insta-fame. He doesn’t care about the logos that show up at the end of his YouTube videos. To him, it's about helping people, and working with people he cares about.I admire that.Jeremiah doesn’t shy away from his passion for food, his strong faith and his natural desire to hunt. He’s an educator. He’s an inspiration. And after the last year of inappropriate jokes and texting with him as if he’s my personal chef, I’m proud to call him a friend.We'll talk about his background, a few of his favorite hunts, path to big game chef, and we'll answer questions from users. We also have some big announcements at the end of this show, so stay tuned!Relevant Links:Jeremiah’s siteJeremiah’s dove blog about his daughterVenison meatballsHunt for a Cure
