In this episode, Dan sits down with Blake Nations, a seasoned Naval veteran, and Nick, a fellow archer and passionate outdoorsman, for a full-length conversation about life, discipline, and the mindset it takes to stay dialed in — both in the mountains and in everyday life.
Blake shares powerful insights from his time in the Navy, and how that foundation of service, structure, and sacrifice has shaped the way he approaches training, bowhunting, and being a man of purpose. Alongside him, Nick brings a grounded and relatable voice to the table as they explore topics like motivation, showing up with intention, and the small daily decisions that make or break your goals.
Of course, there’s also some elk hunting talk — and the kind of honest reflection you don’t get unless the mics are rolling and the trust is real.
