Summary

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Raphaell Smith of Country Boy Mafia for an honest and powerful conversation about representation in the outdoors. Raphaell shares how he got his start in the outdoor world, how his time in the military helped shape who he is today, and why the outdoors continues to be such an important part of his life. We talk about breaking stereotypes, staying true to who you are, and finding community in spaces where you may not always see people who look like you. This episode is all about shared passion, respect for the outdoors, and showing that the love for hunting, fishing, and the outdoor lifestyle runs deeper than labels.
