EP 585 Brian Van Eps | Life Lessons From the Great Outdoors: Insights from an Adventure Guide

In this week’s episode, we delve into the inspiring story of Brian Van Eps, a Church Pastor and speaker who found his calling in the healing power of outdoor adventure. After experiencing burnout in his own life, Brian set out on a journey to discover his true purpose and passion.

Through his own coaching program for pastors, Brian discovered the transformative power of adventure and the great outdoors. He knew that he wanted to help others, both corporate teams and individuals, to work through burnout and find their own path in life, while also experiencing the healing and rejuvenating effects of nature.

Brian’s program, Legacy Guides, helps individuals identify their unique talents and strengths, and empowers them to use these gifts to live a purposeful and fulfilling life. He also takes groups on impactful adventure trips that not only challenge them physically, but also have a profound impact on their emotional and spiritual well-being.

During our conversation, we explore the importance of finding purpose, the benefits of outdoor adventure, and how Brian’s program can help people overcome burnout and chart a new course for their lives. Whether you are feeling stuck in your career or simply seeking more meaning and fulfillment in your life, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration to help you find your own path forward.

From Addiction to Hunting Marketing Manager at YETI with Sloane Brown

February 28, 2023 by Cody Rich

EP 582: Sloane Brown
Sloane is as solid of a human as I have met. Sloane’s journey from addicted to Heroin, to the top of the hunting industry is truly remarkable and is a testament to the man he has crafted himself into. A testament to his character.

You often hear that the outdoors can save addicts’ lives and that there is real power in the outdoors and the outdoors community. I think it’s safe to say that Sloane is a great example of this and how there is life after addiction. Sloane worked his way up to what some would call the top of the industry and somehow did that without stepping on anyone to get there.

My biggest takeaway from Sloane’s journey is that relationships matter in the long run. You never know who you will meet and how they will play a role in your journey, that is life.

I am excited and stoked for Sloane’s next chapter as he sets out to do his own thing and I have no doubt he will crush it at that. If you are interested in hiring Sloane check him out at

EP 581: An Elk Hunting Journey with Justin Boardman

In this episode, we have the privilege of hearing the inspiring story of Justin, a complete newbie who went on to become an accomplished elk hunter. Justin’s journey from being a novice to a skilled hunter is an absolute roller coaster ride filled with twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

From the moment Justin set his sights on elk hunting, it was clear that he had a natural talent for it. As a SF soldier, he had honed his skills in the field, and it seemed like he was able to transfer those skills to the world of elk hunting with ease. However, as anyone who has tried elk hunting knows, it is not for the faint-hearted. Elk hunting can be unpredictable, and it often has a mind of its own.

Despite the challenges that he faced, Justin persevered and never gave up. He put in the hard work and dedication required to become a successful hunter, and it paid off in spades. He was able to hone his skills and techniques over time, and he eventually found himself in the position to put his hands on his first bull.

Justin’s journey is a testament to the power of persistence and the importance of never giving up on your dreams. His story is an inspiration to anyone who is passionate about hunting and is willing to put in the hard work required to succeed. He is a true example of how with dedication, anyone can achieve their goals, no matter how daunting they may seem at first.

In addition to his remarkable journey, Justin is also an excellent storyteller. He has a way of captivating his audience with his tales of adventure and excitement, and he will have you hanging on his every word.
