Episode Details

Everyone sees the highlight reel, but very few people see the grind that comes before it.. This week, C. Will and Trey "The Dreaded Archer" Reed sit down after Squad Fest to talk about everything from preparing for hunting season to building a name in the outdoor industry. They break down why networking matters, what brands are really looking for, the sacrifices behind content creation, and why chasing success means putting in the work long before anyone notices.

The conversation also dives into preseason scouting, gear that actually makes a difference, hunting strategies, and an exciting look ahead at the 2027 Brotherhood Archery Retreat. Whether you're trying to grow a brand, become a better hunter, or simply need a reminder that nothing worthwhile comes easy, this episode is packed with real talk and practical wisdom.
