008 - An Announcement

I'm excited to announce that I have accepted a role on the creative team at Sitka Gear. This is been my professional ambition for a long time and I'm humbled by the opportunity and eager to move to Bozeman and get to work. That means the end of this podcast for the forseeable future. In this short episode, I explain that decision. Thank you for listening and being a part of this with me. CF

007 - Jordan Riley: A Minnesotan Coming of Age Tale, Family, Hunting, and Starting a Creative Business

On this episode I talk with Jordan Riley from Captured Creative while we were at the BHA Rendezvous in Boise, ID. We talk thru Jordan's upbringing, how his career began, what hunting means to him, and how to manage the tension that arises with the thing you do for your soul becomes the thing that you do for work. This is a good conversation - give it a listen. CF

006 - Derek Nelson: Content Manager at Mathews Archery, landing dream jobs and what it's actually like working for an outdoor brand

On this episode I chat with one of my very good friends, Derek Nelson. Derek and I have known each other for a number of years now - he is one of the good ones and if you care about the hunting world at all, this episode is a fun one. We share the story of our Idaho elk hunt last fall, we talk about how he made his way to Mathews and what he does there, and how working in the industry effects what he feels about hunting. There are some great actionable tidbits in there for folks who want to navigate their careers to fields they are passionate about as well. I hope you enjoy. CF

005 - Off The Record with Sam Averett, Paul Kemper, Casey Barton, & David Frame

Welcome to the first installment of what will be a recurring episode type - Off The Record. These conversations will usually be more casual in nature and cover a broad expanse of topics. On this episode I'm in Bozeman, MT hanging out with the guys having a few aluminum lites. We discuss outdoor upbringings, the differences in growing up hunting the East v. West, how Paul was a bass angler in NYC, some pro-tips for my friends back East that want to hunt out West for the first time, and various tom foolery around hunting jargon. It's light-hearted and of no real substance and sometimes that's ok. I hope you enjoy. CF

004 - River Jordan: Commercial photographer, world traveler, and purveyor of stoke

On this episode I chat with River Jordan - we walk through his childhood and what he learned about life while growing up on a sailboat cruising around the world, what water polo taught him about hard work, and how to design your life such that you are able to say "yes" when great opportunities come your way. River is a guy that has an infectious energy about him and I was pumped to get to know him last summer on a shoot we worked on together in Alaska. I'm equally pumped for everyone to hear this conversation, which begs a follow-up to be recorded, and I hope everyone finds value in the topics discussed.
