In this solo episode, I explore the theme of choice, particularly in the context of manhood and relationships. I reflect on the struggle many men face in making decisions, often driven by societal expectations rather than personal truth. Through a personal hunting story, I illustrate the importance of pausing to listen to one's inner voice before acting. I emphasize the need for integrity and reverence in both hunting and life, proposing a set of wild ethics that guide men towards living with purpose and connection.
