#169 - The Risky Decision That Lead to a Life of Adventure w/ Kurt Belding

from The Peanut Butter and Mountains Podcast · host Chad Lubinski

The conversation follows Kurt Belding of Western Obsessions TV discussing his decision to stop doing work he didn’t enjoy and pursue epic hunting adventures, driven by the belief that life is short and retirement can come too late to have the physical ability to live fully. He explains the challenges of self-filming hunts—especially spot-and-stalk archery—how storytelling is built in the edit when footage or in-field audio is missing, and how filming can ruin shot opportunities. Kurt shares his background as an entrepreneur who built multiple fitness and nutrition businesses, then around age 40 sold or closed them to hunt and create content, initially running out of money and figuring it out over five years. He credits entrepreneurship with mental toughness, patience, and faster business learning, outlines training focused on discomfort and endurance, and says quitting alcohol supports his goals.-- Kurt's Links -- InstagramWebsiteYouTube ---My Socials---⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
