Shutters and Shells Dominick Gatto

Matt and Gus from Whiskey and Whitetails join me in the final episode of Shutters and Shells. We talk about time management, social media, and the future of Shutters and Shells. While it may be saddening to see the podcast take a breather, some big news is on the horizon for Shutters and Shells.

Shutters and Shells will now be the official home of the Wildlands Photo Battle. Check it out on Instagram @ShuttersAndShells or at ShuttersAndShells.com

A huge thank you to Matt and Gus for joining me on this final episode - I couldn't have even gotten this podcast off the ground without them. Be sure to check out their Podcast, YouTube, Instagram, and other links at www.WhiskeyAndWhitetails.com

Be safe, drink your milk, wear your seatbelts, and most importantly - get outdoors! This is Dom Gatto signing off - I'll see you in the Wildlands!

What a road this conversation went down! Brady and I spoke about how he left his career with the Capitol Police to start up Riton Optics - a company I can faithfully say I fully support. What started as a general back and forth about Brady's journey turned into an in-depth conversation about the drive behind entrepreneurship and all of the ups and downs that come with it. 



Don't know about Riton Optics? What, have you been living under a rock!?

Everyone has a life story, and I was fortunate enough to sit down and listen to the journey of Michael Shea, who went from a New England native with the dream of being a journalist to a die-hard duck hunter traveling the United States writing about his experiences. The twists and turns of his path have come to a cohesive pass, landing him as a prime contributor in notable publications. 

It was awesome having Michael on the show, and I know you're going to enjoy hearing his story!

Once in a blue moon I get the opportunity to sit down and speak with someone who is a true outdoorsman, and fortunately this was one of those times. Caleb Copeland discusses the harsh world of creating hunting content, yet his work shows he has what it takes to be a cut above in the industry. From hiking for miles chasing bugling elk, to traveling around the world in search of telling the perfect story, Caleb has seen and done in recent years what most people dream of doing over the course of a lifetime. With such opportunities does come a great cost: constant travel, time away from family, and the pressure of being contracted to produce professional content time and time again can take a toll on a man. That being said, Caleb has not only shown us all with his stellar work that he is capable of rolling with the good times and bad, but that his hard work pays off throughout his travels.

Be sure to check out Caleb's Instagram page @copecreative as well as his Redneck Tech Podcast, where they discuss behind-the-scenes work in the outdoor content creation industry.

Lucky episode 13! Speaking with Steve Jessmore was an absolute pleasure. We discussed self-criticizing our work, how time plays the biggest factor, and what has happened in Steve's life since sweeping the professional category of the 2021 Audubon Photography Awards. 

Steve went from a career photojournalist with no lack of accolades to diving head-first into wildlife photography during the pandemic. After only a year of honing his skills on the river, Steve has proven himself to be one of the most accomplished wildlife photographers in the United States this year. His humbled insight into the world of professional photography as well as his insane work ethic go on full display during this episode, which left me even more motivated to hit the woods this season.

You can find Steve's photographs on his website as well as his Instagram, linked below.
