Welcome to Field Tested

In this kickoff episode of Field Tested, Brad Arington shares the story behind the podcast and the roots of his leadership journey — from long days in the field with dogs by his side and early mornings in the swamp, to building Master-level retrievers, coaching ball, and growing a successful hunting operation. Brad lays out what listeners can expect each month : honest conversations, hard-earned lessons, a lot of faith, and the kind of grit that only comes from getting your hands dirty and stepping out of your comfort zone. Whether you’re leading a team, raising a family, coaching kids, or simply want to be better at everything you do, this podcast is for anyone who believes real leadership starts in the field.
