Isn’t it Lovely When an Elk Hunt Deepens Friendship? Special Guests: JD Kessler, Tim Meagher, and Marcus Suhn
“Everything you think you are in the world kind of fades away after a time and you’re just left with people you rely on and then a sense of you’re part of it all, but you’re nothing at the same time…we had deep conversations about life and perspective and I’m comfortable saying stuff to those guys that I wouldn’t say [to anyone else].”
Fan favorite Tim Meagher is BACK…and this time he’s brought his friends. Rachel and Tracy welcome Tim, JD Kessler, and Marcus Suhn, affectionately known as The Mighty Hunters (along with dear friend Adam Swingdorf, who was tied up making Sensational Smiles), to the podcast to discover how an elk hunting trip solidified lifelong friendships and why being self-aware and comfortable in your own skin paves the way for deeper connections defined by support, generosity, and a whole lot of internet memes. Rachel immediately startles the group by introducing the word “intimacy” into the conversation, while Tracy and the hunters sing the praises of Scheels Sporting Goods. JD posits that Marcus is secretly a doppelganger for Rip from the television series Yellowstone, and all of the hunters offer advice for pursuing deeper relationships - without having to travel to Idaho.
