Have you ever been to Prison? I’m going to be bold and guess that most of our listeners have never personally been incarcerated, however, in today’s episode I get the chance to talk with Brandon Potts about the time he spent in prison. 

In 2011 Brandon found himself in a life altering accident after having a couple of beers with his friends. What Brandon didn’t see coming was how his life would change for the better after finding himself locked up.

Listen in as Brandon walks us through the accident, the way he found the Lord, and what unfolded for him through this experience. 

Sometimes life stops you in your tracks and gives you a course change you never saw coming. This is an incredible story of faith, perspective, and healing.

In this episode of the Soul Summit Podcast I get to sit down with Heidi Stout as we chat about her new role as co-host on the show as well as how she has overcome trauma through the great outdoors. 

Although this episode covers some incredibly hard topics, Heidi and I share insight and encouragement on the power of wild places to help heal the soul and 'refind' yourself. 

Not only has Heidi worked to recover her life after sexual trauma, but she has moved on to start her own non-profit to help others overcome their own traumatic experiences. 

I am so thankful for the heart and mind of women like Heidi and I hope you leave encouraged and excited to tune into her new segment on the Soul Summit Podcast.

Heidi’s episodes will air on Wednesday’s and will be filled with some of the outdoor and hunting world’s most bad ass guests!

In the eight years I have been a part of the hunting and outdoor industry, I have seen a lot of companies launch, and a few have really stood out from the others. 

To me a good company is one that at a foundational level, brings the best of the best in their field and, on a structural level, is operated by quality people. 

Get to know Kate Newkirk and Bryan Child from Bakcous team. In this episode, we get to listen into the beginnings of Bakcou as a company, how Bryan went from 18 years as an MD to co-founder and owner of an outdoor company.

We also cover some Q&A and common misconceptions about ebikes, the breakdown of the three ebike classifications, maintenance tips, and more!
