What does it really mean to build a life around the outdoors?

In Episode 61 of the Experience More Podcast, Jake sits down with Carson DuBois for an authentic conversation about life, service, fitness, and the impact the outdoors has had on shaping who he is today.

Carson shares his journey, from his military background and the values it instilled, to building a life centered around the outdoors, hunting, fitness, and helping others live with greater purpose. He opens up about how his experiences in the military helped shape his discipline, resilience, and perspective, and how those lessons continue to influence the way he approaches life today.

Together, Jake and Carson discuss the powerful connection between mental health, physical fitness, and time spent outdoors. They dive into why community matters, how consistency creates confidence, and why the greatest rewards aren't always measured by success in the field, but by the people you're with and the memories you create along the way.

This isn't just a conversation about hunting. It's about becoming the kind of person others can depend on, embracing challenges, and intentionally building a life filled with adventure, meaningful relationships, and purpose.
