Description

In this conversation, I sit down with Jake, a conservation lobbyist who went from a tiny Scottish fishing village to the police force, through gamekeeping and bushcraft instruction, and into lobbying politicians in the Scottish Parliament to protect our countryside. We explore why most people misunderstand wildlife management, how intentional life design can transform your career at any age, and what it actually takes to build a life around the things that matter most to you. We talk about: ๐ŸฆŒ Jake's journey from a 20-house fishing village to 13 years in the police to starting over at 33 and what each chapter taught him about determination ๐ŸŽฏ Why setting a 10-year plan with a flexible end goal and working every single step is how you get exactly where you want to be ๐Ÿก How four generations living under one roof became the ultimate life design hack for balancing work, family and adventure ๐ŸŒฟ The difference between rewilding and regeneration and why just "leaving nature alone" doesn't work anymore ๐Ÿ– Why getting venison into school meals is one of the most important conservation battles happening right now ๐Ÿ”๏ธ How he designs every week so the laptop closing means adventure starts, not just another evening on the sofa For dads who feel like their career path is already set or that it's too late to pivot toward something they actually love, this is the conversation that will change that. ๐ŸŽง Tune in. Strip it back. Build the life you actually want to live. #conservation #fatherhood #wildlifemanagement #scotland #dadlife #deerstalking
