#5 Brian Dickinson

In this episode of Into The Grain, we sit down with Brian Dickinson - a former U.S. Navy Aviation Rescue Swimmer, mountaineer, and bestselling author who solo summited Mount Everest. We get into his background in the Navy and how those experiences shaped the way he handles risk, pressure, and uncertainty. We also unpack his Everest climb - what led him there, continuing the ascent alone after his Sherpa turned back, and navigating the descent after going snow blind. Along the way, we talk about the mindset behind it all - how adversity in his childhood helped shape his drive, and how that carries into his life today.

#4 Abby & Larry

In this episode of Into The Grain, we sit down with Abby, founder of Bloom Outdoors, and her dad Larry - an outdoorsman whose background and way of life have deeply shaped his family. We get into where their paths started - Abby’s story of losing her hearing in one ear as a child and how that shaped her early experiences, and Larry’s upbringing in the outdoors and the role it played in forming his perspective from a young age. Together, those backgrounds have influenced not just who they are individually, but how they approach life, family, and the things they care about. We also talk about how that’s carried into what they’re doing today - from Abby building Bloom Outdoors to the time they spend out west on elk hunting trips, and the kind of impact those experiences have had on their family over time.

#3 Joshua Baker

In this episode of Into the Grain, we sit down with Josh Baker, founder of Warrior From Within Training Center and former law enforcement officer Josh shares his journey through law enforcement, the disillusionment he experienced after seeing the system from the inside, and the traumatic on-duty incident that led to severe PTSD and ultimately, changed the trajectory of his life. What followed was a difficult season of sleepless nights, rapid weight loss, and searching for meaning after everything fell apart. Today, Josh uses those experiences to help others reclaim ownership of their lives and identity through his gym and coaching. This conversation explores adversity, responsibility, trauma, and the process of rebuilding your life from the inside out.
