EP. 488: The Longer You Do This, The More It Gives Back | Find Your Tribe

In episode 488 of the Truth From The Stand Deer Hunting Podcast, host Clint Campbell sits down with his friend Will Coggin, a former military service member and passionate bow hunter, to explore the profound connection between hunting, jiu-jitsu, and personal growth. The conversation centers on the idea of 'finding your tribe'—the deep sense of belonging that comes from shared experiences in niche, demanding pursuits. Will shares how his military background instilled discipline, attention to detail, and a love for structured learning, all of which translated seamlessly into hunting and jujitsu. He reflects on how both activities provide a space for solitude, challenge, and continuous learning, helping him transition from military life into civilian fulfillment. The episode also highlights Will’s initiative, the Veterans Mac Collective—a monthly jiu-jitsu session for veterans designed to foster community, accountability, and healing. The discussion underscores that mastery isn’t about perfection, but about the relentless pursuit of learning and the joy found in the process. Clint and Will both emphasize that when you fall in love with learning, the outcomes—whether a successful hunt or a meaningful connection—follow naturally.
