Born and raised in Wakulla County, Landon Turner’s story is one that inspires anyone who’s ever had a dream and dared to chase it.

At just sixteen, while still a student at Wakulla High School, Landon launched Backwoods Mafia, a brand that started with a bold idea and a whole lot of faith. Years later, that spark ignited into two powerhouse companies, Backwoods Mafia and American Threads USA , both built right here in our community.

Now in his twenties, Landon’s businesses have reached incredible heights, but what stands out most isn’t the success…it’s his humility and faith. Landon is unapologetic about putting God first, and his testimony is a reminder that faith and entrepreneurship can go hand in hand.

In this heartfelt episode, we talk about where it all began, the roadblocks along the way, and how he continues to use his platform to point people back to Jesus. 

This isn’t just a story about business, it’s a story about calling. About knowing who you are, Whose you are, and walking boldly in that truth.
