    015: Carry It Forward | Alex Bond

    Alex Bond was the very first guest on this podcast before it was even called the Cody Silver Podcast. Years later, he's back and there's a lot more to carry. A photographer and outdoorsman rooted in Kane, Pennsylvania, Alex has built a life around capturing what's real in the field, behind the lens, and in the people around him. In this episode, we talk craft, community, hunting, and the weight of losing someone who meant the world to both of us. Some conversations pick up right where they left off.
