In this episode we were honored to have a conversation with Chelsee Dery. Chelsee's love and obsession for wildlife and the hunting heritage became very apparent in the first few minutes of our conversation. Her drive to be a life long learner has enabled her to pursue a multitude of outdoor experiences such as archery and elk calling, long range shooting, photography and film, and most recently making primitive clothing. Her dedication to her passion is unrivaled. The quote from Theodore Roosevelt " Speak softly and carry a big stick" fits Chelsee to a tee.
Thank yo so much Chelsee for sitting down with us!

Did you ever wonder what it would be like to decide to completely change what you are currently doing in life? Well, just ask Elena Johnson. We had the unique opportunity to sit down and ask her that very question. Elena is an outstanding artist who in 2024 decided to leave her career in the medical field to follow her heart and start drawing. But that just scatches the surface of what Elena is all about.
In this episode you'll find out how Elena got to where she is today. Thank you for listening!

For this episode we traveled to beaUTiful southern Utah to sit down with Casey from Casey's Off Road Recovery to see what makes Casey tick. Making It Happen Outdoors is almost an understatement for Casey. Years of Search and Rescue mixed with Off Roading, mules, music and just about anything else that involves being outside with family has given Casey a deep appreciation for the outdoors. We could all take a lesson from Casey when it comes to unyielding commitment to family and community. Thanks again Casey for having us, we had blast!
