What If Your Outdoor Life Became A Testimony | Live With Dawson Yates | Frogg Toggs Give-aways!
Dad kicks the door down with an all-time cold open, and then we settle into a real conversation with Dawson Yates, a Southern Illinois outdoorsman who’s built a loyal following by staying authentic. If you’ve ever felt like hunting content has turned into a highlight reel or a shopping catalog, Dawson explains why he refuses to play that game and how simple, honest storytelling can connect with brand-new hunters and seasoned grinders alike. We talk waterfowl hunting the way most of us live it: busted plans, mud flats, storm hunts, and the satisfaction of earning every bird. Dawson shares what surprised him most about turning hunting into content, what it’s like meeting people at trade shows, and why he’d rather help a kid learn etiquette than shame them online. We also get into the behind-the-scenes work of building Talking Timber from the ground up, from hand-pressing shirts to dialing in suppliers and shipping orders across almost all 50 states. Then the conversation gets deeper. Dawson opens up about mental health, faith, and the daily devotional habit that’s helped him and a lot of people watching. He shares why the outdoors can be more than an escape, and how a platform can mean something when it points people toward hope and better community. If this one hits home, subscribe, share it with a hunting buddy, and leave a review so more people can find the show.
