Impact Outdoors Podcast Derek York

On this week's episode of Impact Outdoors, we are once again coming to you from the 2024 Hunt Fish Podcast Summit at the Warren Ranch here in Texas. This week we are excited to be joined by Basheer Benhalim, one of Hunters of Color's Texas Ambassadors. Hunters of Color is a 501(c)(3) non-profit with the goal of increasing BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) participation in hunting for the sake of conservation, food sovereignty, and to preserve their ancestral traditions. Basheer has a deeply rooted background here in Texas and grew up in the outdoors. Having lived in different places across the U. S., Basheer has been able to experience a wide variety of hunts and meet tons of people along the way. As one of the ambassadors for HOC, Basheer has been able to help provide opportunities and be a mentor to many new individuals looking to see what the outdoors lifestyle is all about. If you're looking to get involved in a great group and learn about hunting, fishing, conservation and so much more, maybe HOC is the right place to go to. Be sure to check them out on their social media accounts and become a member today!

Very excited to welcome Indiana First Lady Janet Holcomb onto the show for this episode for a great conversation about her growing up in the outdoors, navigating through her career in business and politics and then reengaging with the outdoors through her love of hunting and shooting sports. Janet has done a great job as First Lady by being a mentor to so many in getting into the outdoors. Janet and I talk about what it was like after being part of a home invasion and how that spurred her to take action in being better prepared and trained in handling a firearm. And we also got to talk about some of her recent hunting adventures and her passion for sheep hunting. Don't miss this one! Be sure to subscribe to the show and leave us a rating and review!!!

Mang is not your ordinary apparel company, just selling shirts with cool designs. They are much more than that and have an incredible vision for what they are wanting to accomplish with their business. I recently was able to get with Kyle Rossin, one of the founders of Mang, and hear about the company that he and his brother Keith created. With every shirt they have sold, their slogan "Buy one, Plant one" comes true. With hundreds of thousands of trees planted and countless restoration projects being done in Florida and other countries, this company is making a huge impact. Make sure to listen in and hear some of the great conversation we had about conservation, small businesses and following your dreams!
