Remi Warren: From Outfitter to Day 6 Owner – Identity Shift & Stress | MTNPOD #153

In this insightful MTNTOUGH Podcast episode, host Dustin Defenderfer reconnects with lifelong hunter, former backcountry guide, respected hunting voice, and entrepreneur Remi Warren for an honest check-in on his transformative 2025 journey. Remi dives deep into major life and business shifts: selling his 20+ year outfitting business after decades of guiding hard miles in wild places, acquiring Day 6 Arrows and Broadheads as a product manufacturing company focused on high-quality arrows and broadheads, overhauling nutrition with wild game meat, vegetables, consistent meals, and gut health improvements, adding marathon running and structured fitness goals to boost energy and performance, navigating intense work-life balance as a dad of two young kids, managing high cortisol and stress from multiple businesses, and stepping through fear to embrace identity-level change instead of fleeting New Year's resolutions. He shares raw reflections on how past guiding experience fuels product innovation, the emotional weight of letting go of outfitting identity, building presence with family amid entrepreneurial demands, leveraging mental toughness from mountain hunts into daily discipline, and staying always ready through faith, patience, and consistent effort. Perfect for hunters, entrepreneurs, dads, and men redefining success while staying dangerous physically, mentally, spiritually, and nutritionally.Presented by Sig Sauer.V I D E O S TO W A T C H N E X T🎙️ More MTNTOUGH Podcast Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdAelJZ1bZWr5v6K_-IPix0tq8b7xH1msS U P P O R T O U R S P O N S O R S: 💊 Get 20% off MTNTOPS Supplements, Use Code "MTNTOUGH" Here at checkout: https://mtn-ops.sjv.io/LXkPEo__________________________________________W H A T I S M T N T O U G H F I T N E S S?MTNTOUGH is The #1 Fitness App Trusted By The DedicatedOur premier functional fitness programming is conveniently packaged for hunters, first responders, military, and mountain athletes.
