Chad’s solo on the mic from Banded Drake Ranch, and this one goes straight to something he genuinely loves: Food!

He talks about Bistro Roxy in Reno and why it’s his favorite restaurant. From the drinks and appetizers to the main course, Chad breaks down what keeps him coming back and why attention to detail matters, in the kitchen and everywhere else.

Chad starts this solo episode talking about a few TV shows, just easing into it. Then a listener question comes in, and the conversation shifts.

From there, Chad goes straight at mediocrity; how it creeps into everyday life, how easy it is to get comfortable, and how small habits and lowered standards quietly shape where you end up. He talks about effort, discipline, and the responsibility we all have to ourselves to do more than just get by.

This one’s awesome, honest, and direct. If you’ve been feeling stuck, coasting, or telling yourself you’ll get serious “later,” this episode might hit harder than you expect.

Chad answers listener questions in a solo episode that’s honest and personal. He talks about things nobody warned him about in life, how fast time flies, and why being here at all is something none of us should take for granted.

He touches on what still gets under his skin, his thoughts on voting, and reflects on the moments and people that shaped his path. Chad also takes a proud dad moment to talk about his daughter Alyssa and her drive to become a Division I volleyball athlete.

We know you'll love this one!

Chad jumps on the mic solo and talks about gratitude, faith, and what it really looks like to put in the work on yourself. Not in theory. In real life.

Take the Crocs and Sweatpants off, and let's get after it.

He gets into showing up when you’re tired, building discipline over motivation, and why growth usually comes from doing the uncomfortable things consistently. It’s an honest perspective, hard-earned lessons, and a reminder that nobody’s coming to do the work for you.

Chad jumps on the mic solo and talks Nashville. From where he stays, where he eats, and the spots he always ends up at when he’s in town.

He gets into the Scoreboard, the Nashville Palace, Drake White, and the Benefit for the Brain, and why that event means so much to him. A little travel talk, a little music talk, and some thoughts on why Nashville just feels like home to so many people in this business.

In Part 2, Chad and John get into the business side of things. They talk about leadership, trusting your team, failing forward, and how hard it can be to grow something without losing your sanity in the process.

John shares what it’s been like running Hook & Barrel, challenging the traditional outdoor media world, and trying to build a brand that’s based on storytelling and community, not trends. They talk about imposter syndrome, pressure, burnout, and why evolving sometimes makes the people around you uncomfortable.

It’s an awesome follow-up to Part 1, and we know you'll enjoy every second!

In this first part of the conversation, Chad sits down with John Radzwilla, the man behind Hook & Barrel Magazine, to talk about real-life stuff. They get into everything: where you choose to live, how your values shape your decisions, what you spend money on, and the people you keep close. Nothing's off the table, from parenting, relationships, judgment, self-awareness, and the constant work it takes to grow without losing who you are. It’s two guys who’ve built their own lanes in the outdoor world, comparing notes on what matters and what doesn’t.

A very honest, easy conversation that’ll make you think about how you’re living, why you’re living that way, and what you want the next chapter to look like.
