This is Undaunted Life a Man's Podcast.

I'm your host, Kyle Thompson.

Let's get into it.

Russell Hunter, welcome in the studio.

Man, I'm stoked to be here.

Well, I didn't even, like, really recognize you as you're walking up to the studio

because you didn't have, like, big boards with you with, like, you know, these crazy drawings

and stuff on there. So do you get recognized in public because you got a have like big boards with you with like, you know, these crazy drawings and stuff on there.

So do you get recognized in public because you got a pretty good Instagram and YouTube stuff going?

Yes, I do.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Sometimes it's good.

I mean, most of the time, because of the algorithm, the people that recognize me are the people that are getting that all the time. And so the

people that don't recognize me are the people that recognize me and they don't like me are usually

people that know somebody who's been in the show. So yes. They've been in the crossfire. Yeah,

I've probably eaten some contaminated food in my time. Okay. Yeah, I don't know that I would go to the university center in most of these campuses depending upon what you're doing. But let's back up just a little bit because, you know, for everyone that would recognize your flannel in your face, they obviously kind of have an idea of what you do for a living or at least you do in your public profile. So let's go, let's just go back to your childhood just a little

bit to kind of set the scene. And so like, I didn't grow up in a Christian household. And so like, I missed out a lot of the Christianese, but because I was raised in Oklahoma, I call it country music theology. So you believe in God. You're baptized as a kid. It's not believers baptism. And, you know, vote Republican and listen to country music and then you get to go to heaven because God loves all those songs.

So that's country music theology then you get to go to

heaven because God loves all those songs. So that's country music theology. So I had more of that

upbringing. And so it's kind of like Christian adjacent, more so than like believers type thing.

So were you raised in Oklahoma? Yes. Well, okay, it's Christian adjacent too, but it's not the same

as yours. It's Christian adjacent in the sense that my parents felt like they needed to take us to church. So my entire childhood take you to church. But my dad was not an actual believer. So it's more like a social, like we got to go here because it'll be good for business?
