EP 51: Today’s guest is redefining what fishing content looks like for us. She’s not just chasing fish — she’s building community, making people laugh, and she tells us today what it’s like partnering with resorts and local communities to bring experiences to life. With a rapidly growing and highly engaged audience, she’s mastered the art of blending authenticity, adventure, and strategy, all while staying true to the water and the people who make these places special. In this episode we dive into how passion, consistency, and connection can turn a love for fishing into a platform with real impact. If you’re into fishing, hunting stories, content creation, or building meaningful partnerships, you’re going to love this conversation. Please welcome Krysten Potega.

Today’s guest doesn’t follow a script — she writes her own. She's a pheasant guide, a free spirit, and an absolute force in wild places. She’s built a life around grit, independence, fire and doing hard things on her own terms. This episode is about confidence, freedom, and what it really takes to live bold and unapologetic. Buckle up — this one’s going to hit.

Today’s guest is the definition of camo and couture. She’s Miss Illinois Volunteer, a passionate hunter, a leader rooted in service, and proof that women don’t have to choose just one lane. She’s redefining what it looks like to be strong, feminine, service-driven, and unapologetically yourself. We talk confidence, conservation, femininity, and doing it all. Please welcome, Nicole Taylor!!
