The Conquer Cast

Hall of Fame speaker, entertainer, and author Jason Hewlett joins the Conquer Cast for a conversation about discovering your gifts, keeping your word, and being fully present for the people who matter most.

Jason shares why he walked away from a major Las Vegas opportunity rather than change his commitment to family-friendly entertainment—and how that decision shaped his career and his definition of success.

Drawing from his book, The Promise to the One, Jason explains his process for discovering your “signature moves”: identify, clarify, and magnify. He also shares how mentors recognized gifts he hadn’t yet seen in himself, and how we can do the same for others.

The conversation gets personal as Jason reflects on fatherhood, the distractions that pull us away from our children, and a moment at McDonald’s that changed his relationship with his son. We also explore faith in Jesus Christ, finding joy through service, and the promises we make to ourselves, our families, and God.

If you’ve been chasing success while struggling to give your family your full attention, this episode offers a meaningful invitation to reconsider what matters—and live accordingly.

Author, speaker, and runner Missy Moss Wright joins the Conquer Cast to share how faith, running, and community have helped her navigate anxiety, devastating loss, and her husband’s recurring brain cancer.

Drawing from her book, Unbreakable Sole, Missy shares lessons from the St. George Marathon that reach far beyond the finish line: focus on the next mile, accept support, and remember that you’re not as broken as you think.

We talk about grief and guilt, the “trail angels” who show up when we need them most, and how her relationship with Jesus Christ has deepened through life’s hardest moments. Missy also shares the story of her family pushing her brother, who has cerebral palsy, through a marathon, and how a simple invitation to run one mile for her husband brought people together during his brain surgery.

Spencer Murray steps out from behind the lens and joins Trevor on the Conquer Cast to share his journey to filming for MTN OPS. From childhood movie projects to running Rogue Runner Films with his wife, Jenny, Spencer’s love for storytelling eventually led to a hunt at Strawberry Ridge—and an opportunity that changed the direction of his career.

Spencer and Trevor reflect on a year of hunts, travel, Conquer Hunger events, and capturing meaningful moments with family and friends. Along the way, they talk about creativity, overcoming fear, following God’s direction, and what it means to make films that help people connect with something bigger than themselves.

Brock Painter returns to Conquer Cast to talk HYROX, preparing for the Moab 240, and how physical challenges can help us show up better as spouses, parents, and leaders. He shares what being pulled from the Kodiak 100 taught him about the limits of pushing harder—and why his focus shifted from proving himself to growing closer to God.

Trevor also reflects on racing HYROX alongside his son Beckham and the unexpected moments that made it about much more than fitness. Together, they explore faith, confidence, commitment, and Brock’s three questions for moving forward: Am I clear? Am I calibrated? Am I committed?

Therapist, hunter, and author Zach Butterfield joins the Conquer Cast to talk fear, mental fitness, and the search for lasting peace. Through stories of buck fever, a rattlesnake encounter, and African hunts, Zach explores how lessons from the outdoors can help us better understand ourselves and connect with the people who matter most.

After losing his home and everything he’d built, Rick Trimmer found himself in his grandparents’ basement with his wife, a newborn, and $640,000 in remaining debt. What followed was a long road of rebuilding—and a decision to pursue a different kind of success.

In this episode of the Conquer Cast, Rick shares how he and his wife aligned around a vision of freedom, kept their expenses low, and built businesses and rental income that allowed them to travel with their family for nine years across 89 countries.

We talk about the reality of starting over, the mentors who helped him move forward, and the discipline to choose long-term freedom over instant gratification. Rick also opens up about marriage, fatherhood, and why the best part of any adventure is the people beside you.

From hunting stories in Hawaii to knowing when you have enough, this conversation asks a question worth sitting with: Are you building a life you actually want to live?

Trevor sits down with Ryan, Colin and Spencer to recap their MTN OPS Hunt Draw trip to Molokai, Hawaii, chasing axis deer with a bow.

They talk about just how difficult these deer are to hunt, close calls throughout the week and what it was like for Spencer to experience his first hunt ever. They also share some of the chaos from camp, including rats, massive moths, wild dogs and the infamous “ghost dog.”

The crew also talks about what hunting has taught them, the relationships built through shared experiences and why sometimes the best thing you can do is get outside, unplug and be still.

Trevor sits down with Matt Mantell, Stefan Brown and Matt Davis to recap their fly fishing trip deep in remote Alaska.

They talk about traveling by bush plane and helicopter to reach the lodge, learning the river, catching rainbows, grayling and dollies, and waiting several days for the salmon run to finally reach them. Once the salmon showed up, the entire trip changed.

The group also shares their favorite catches, what it was like experiencing Alaska together, and some of the lessons they took away about saying yes to opportunities, pushing through fear and surrounding yourself with the right people.

Heidi and Makenna join Trevor to share the story of their Maui axis deer hunt and what it was like stepping into hunting for themselves.

They talk about drawing the hunt together, harvesting their first animals, bringing meat home to their families, and how years at MTN OPS changed the way they viewed hunting, conservation, and the meaning behind the harvest.

MTN OPS is celebrating 12 years in business and 12 million meals donated through Operation Conquer Hunger.

In this solo episode, Trevor Farnes reflects on the journey of MTN OPS, the people who have made it possible and the faith that has guided it along the way.

Trevor shares lessons from 12 years of building MTN OPS, the importance of family and community, and why serving others and feeding His sheep remain at the heart of the mission.

12 years. 12 million meals.
