What happens when fatherhood, business, fitness, and western hunting all collide?
In this episode of the Mountain Dude Podcast, Chris Young sits down with Kevin Guillen from Wilderness Athlete to talk about the deeper side of hunting, balancing family and ambition, and why the wilderness still calls men to do hard things.
Kevin shares his journey from growing up hunting ducks in California, working for Fish & Game, and eventually helping rebuild Wilderness Athlete from the ground up alongside his wife and team. The conversation dives deep into entrepreneurship, intentional living, physical fitness, fatherhood, and the reality of balancing adventure with responsibilities at home.
This episode goes far beyond hunting stories. It’s about purpose, discipline, gratitude, and becoming the kind of man your family can look up to.
