Episode 70: Brady Knowlton

🎙️ Episode 70: Brady Knowlton — Building Businesses, Wrestling Catfish, and Living Without a Comfort Zone On this episode of *Tuxes and Tomahawks*, we sit down with Brady Knowlton, a man whose life is anything but ordinary. A proud graduate of Southern Methodist University and the University of Denver Law School, Brady has spent over 20 years driving strategic investments in the oil & gas sector as Executive Vice President at Monarch Financial. But boardrooms are just one arena he thrives in. Brady is a serial entrepreneur who has built companies across energy, technology, real estate, finance—and even a thriving restaurant in Mexico. Beyond the balance sheets, Brady is a fearless adventurer. His campaign to legalize handfishing in Texas landed him on Animal Planet's *Catfishin' Kings*. He has freedived, spearfished, and explored 60 countries, often pushing the limits in some of the world's most dangerous waters. He's lived in tents for over a year in Africa, wrestled giant catfish, and carries with him the traditions of Native American mentors from Oklahoma. His storytelling, honed through *The World's Most Interesting Podcast*, is fueled by these wild experiences. Fluent in Spanish and armed with a global perspective, Brady's voice carries lessons of perseverance, cultural fluency, and the courage to face risk head-on. Brady has also endured wrongful prosecution as a January 6 defendant, yet continues to advocate for truth, integrity, and resilience. This conversation isn't just about business or adventure—it's about embracing life fully, refusing to play it safe, and learning from challenges both in and out of the spotlight. 📌 *Where others see risk, Brady sees the next frontier. Tune in to hear why.*
