Hey guys, Tyler Markham here! I’m beyond excited for you to dive into this one. Today on the Legacy Through Land podcast, I’m sitting down with none other than Bobby Warner — a true legend when it comes to creating a lasting legacy through land ownership and an absolutely relentless outdoorsman. We’re talking everything from turkey hunting adventures in Alabama, to Bobby’s incredible journey of building an empire in Southeastern Ohio — a story that’s just packed full of dream-building and inspiration.
We get into some wild memories from our early days elk hunting together, lessons about chasing your land goals even when it seems impossible, and Bobby’s mindset on land as a long-term investment (spoiler alert: it’s about way more than money). If you’ve ever wondered if your own dream of owning land is possible, you need to hit play on this one — because Bobby shows you exactly how it can happen!
