Life In Full
Hello everybody, today we've got Jake Bertelsen. Jake is probably the most intentional, most positive, most self motivated person I've ever met. I've got the great fortune to know Jake for almost exactly a year now and spending approximately 65 hours sitting face to face with him. Jake is a world class tattoo artist but he's got a story of grind, a story of grit, a very positive story of changing the way things are. Jake's has had a huge impact in the Whitefish community, is born and raised there,

Cal Arnold is a guy wanted to talk to for years now. I got to know I'm a few years back during winter archery league, and I then got to sit through a couple Aviation Ground Schools with him and he was always that guy that rolled in little bit late, hair frazzled, and flip flops. You’re like, “Dude, what does this guy do?” and you kind of wouldn't know. Then I shot with him again and winter archery league and it was kinda always implied that he was getting back from Hawaii or had been hiking the backco

The Life In Full podcast. These are stories of the quiet, confident, credible, humble, and approachable people, who for the most part, remain unknown. These are people who have a conscious intention in their own pursuits. I want to know their why, what equation in life built them, and unwind that common thread in these people who have that unidentifiable thing that makes them the outliers, while hearing about their lives lived in full.

Matt Clyde is a guy that if I was in the hunting industry, I would look up to. Matt’s not even in the hunting industry though. Matt is an absolute killer , I think maybe people in the industry do look up to him as an elite, I think if you were to whisper Matt’s name, everybody in the industry knows who he is. People may know him from killing the wolf on Randy Newberg’s show, probably 2012-13 ish. Matt’s hunting stories could probably go on for days, I’ll have to pass him off to Cody

Cody Rich. Cody's most famously known for his hunting podcast ,The Rich Outdoors, a very successful and really good podcast. I suggest if you are looking for some good hunting stories, head that direction. It’s good stuff and I listen almost daily if I can. Cody has a background in motocross, so we hit a chord when we met, so it was like that scene from Step Brothers, but he's also got a very interesting background in simulated military training that I had no clue about.

Koni Dole. He’s the MSU football player who ran onto the field a prosthetic leg. He’s the Home-Town hero of Huntley Project where him and his siblings were raised with that small town wherewithal that you get in small-town kids. I became really close buddies with Kong’s brother Kai and got to listen to stories of him growing up with Koni and getting into all the trouble they got into and the good times the've had. Kai would always speak of him, and light up with such endearment, that always left me ha

Matt Clyde.
Matt Clyde is a guy that if I was in the hunting industry, I would look up to. Matt’s not even in the hunting industry though. Matt is an absolute killer , I think maybe people in the industry do look up to him as an elite, I think if you were to whisper Matt’s name, everybody in the industry knows who he is. People may know him from killing the wolf on Randy Newberg’s show, probably 2012-13 ish. Matt’s hunting stories could probably go on for days, I’ll have to pass him off to Cody and I get them on The Rich Outdoors podcast. I’d love to listen to that on.
I wanted to dive into Matt's perspectives and it was incredible. Matt shares a lot about growing up as an adopted child and then ended up meeting his birth mother and then his birth father, and that's an incredible story. Then Matt dives into the story of adopting kids of his own as well as kind of the dynamic with his own biological kids.
I’ve interacted with Matt the backcountry. My buddy James and I killed an elk one time and Matt text me and watch the whole thing, he said “stay put, I’ll have my boys up there.” They helped me pack it down the whole mountain. So it was pretty cool. Matt’s a stud, I love this dude, he's so freaking cool and so committed. Man if there was more Matt Clyde’s in this world, it would be a better place no doubt. Matt’s sons are absolute backcountry killing machines and I cannot look wait, and look forward to watching them develop into backcountry elites themselves. So hang on, this is a great one. It goes into a lot of life stuff, but man it gets deep and it's really good, so enjoy!
