    Ep 50 - Who is Maggie Williams? Interview by Psychology Expert Dr. Stuteville

    In this special episode, I sit down on the other side of the microphone and get interviewed by psychologist Dr. Taylor Stuteville. Together, we dive deep into the experiences, values, and challenges that have shaped who I am. From growing up in Clay County, Arkansas, to standing on the Miss Teen USA stage, to finding my voice in the world of hunting and the outdoors. Right now, you can head over to getyourwaggleon.com/maggie and use my code MAGGIE10 to get 10% off your order.  Bring a little more style to your everyday and get your waggle on with their new hunting-inspired fall drop!  During this episode, we explore how childhood foundations and pageantry instilled grit, resilience, and relentless drive; how hunting became not just a passion but a place of peace, confidence, and identity; and how faith has been a constant thread guiding my journey. Dr. Stuteville also takes us into the psychological side of growth; tackling self-doubt, pressure, and setbacks, while finding gratitude and strength along the way. This episode goes beyond the surface. It’s about balancing legacy and authenticity, navigating adversity in the outdoors, and opening the door wider for the next generation of women in hunting. Whether you’re here for the personal stories, the psychology, or the love of the outdoors, this conversation is one of the most vulnerable and powerful I’ve shared yet.

    Ep 49 - Field to Fork with Michael Hunter "The Hunter Chef"

    During this episode of The Maggie Williams Podcast, host Maggie Williams welcomes Michael Hunter, better known as The Hunter Chef. The duo met in West Point, Mississippi, for Mossy Oak's Annual Foxhole Shootout Charity Golf Tournament, and took the opportunity afterward to have an incredible sit-down conversation that is nothing short of captivating.  Michael is a Red Seal chef, restaurant owner, forager, hunter, and author of The Hunter Chef Cookbook and Hunter Chef in the Wild: Game, Fish, and Fowl Recipes and Techniques for Cooking Outdoors. From his childhood on a horse farm in Ontario to the opening of Toronto’s celebrated Antler Kitchen and Bar, his story is rooted in a deep love of nature and wild food. Maggie and Michael talk about what it means to cook from the land and how foraging, hunting, and honoring the seasons can shape both a kitchen and a lifestyle. Michael shares the vision behind Antler, the severe adversity he faced from the anti-hunting crowd, and how, with the support of fellow hunters and wild game enthusiasts, he overcame those obstacles to see Antler not only survive but thrive. The conversation is filled with warmth, insight, and inspiration — touching on everything from signature recipes to memorable hunts and favorite guilty-pleasure foods. Listeners can expect to walk away with a greater appreciation for wild food and a reminder of how deeply connected our meals can be to the land around us.

    Ep 48 - Shaping Hats and Shooting Straight with Diamond G Hat Company

    In this episode, I sit down with Caleb Geuns of St. Peter’s, Missouri, owner of Diamond G Hat Company. Caleb shares how his childhood days of shooting BB guns evolved into a love for sharpshooting and archery, how his marketing career at Red Bull provided a foundation in branding, and how watching his dad shape cowboy hats inspired him to launch his own business. We also talk about how Caleb’s story took an unexpected turn when he stepped out in faith and started shaping hats for others. That boldness eventually landed him the chance to fit hats for former St. Louis Cardinal turned country music singer Adam Wainwright and his star-studded band, a gig that came about simply because he was willing to shoot his shot. Caleb and I were first introduced through the power of social media, and what started as a simple interaction has grown into a friendship and my own newfound love for cowboy hats. It’s a reminder of how connection, community, and shared passion can change the direction of our lives in ways we never expect. From building a brand to now serving in his church, Caleb’s journey is one of grit, grace, and God’s direction. Together, we dive into hunting, heritage, faith, and the art of shaping not just hats, but a life worth living.

    Ep 46 - Border Crossing Trouble and Scouting 101 with Heartland Waterfowl

    THIS WEEK'S GUESTS: RONNIE PHILIPS AND LOGAN BURDITT OF HEARTLAND WATERFOWL.  Ronnie Philips: As a 2nd Grader from Marysville, KS, Ronnie was introduced to upland bird and deer hunting by his grandfather, David Curtis Carter. Ronnie learned about the outdoors from that man who made a name for himself as a multi-year Bird Dog Trial Champion in South Carolina and owner of Carter’s Shooting Preserve. Several years later, Ronnie’s passion for chasing upland birds shifted to waterfowl after his first afternoon duck hunt outside of Mound City, MO. After 22 years as a country music on-air radio personality, Ronnie decided to parlay that experience into his passion for the outdoors with the creation of Heartland Waterfowl. Also known as “Papa Ron”, Ronnie hosts The Papa Ron Podcast and still plays radio at paparonradio.com. Logan Burditt:  Logan is a fifth-generation waterfowl hunter with roots originating from northeast Missouri.  He was extremely fortunate to have been raised with numerous highly qualified outdoorsmen front-and-center in his life.  Safety and animal conservation were strongly taught and enforced, mostly by example.  Logan shot his first pheasant at the early age of seven with a 410 shotgun.   He quickly became a fan of all bird hunting and saw his love of the sport intensify while playing college baseball at Fort Hays, KS.  Logan considers himself very blessed with the vast amount of friends he’s made through his love of hunting and filming.   Find more about Heartland Waterfowl: https://www.heartlandwaterfowl.com/ Find our host Maggie at: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@themaggiewilliams?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themaggiewilliams/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themaggiewilliamspodcast/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnJHqUBdfgnFLc3P87r88Vw If you need a knife that stays sharp when it matters, Outdoor Edge’s RazorSafe system is the perfect solution.
