In this episode of Clean Plates, I interview Austin Nicholas, also known as the Wilderness Father, about his journey as an advocate for wilderness content and conservation.
He emphasizes the value of hunting and gardening as ways to actively participate in the process of food production, as well as knowing where your food comes from.
Austin also discusses his approach to parenting, supporting his daughter's interests while teaching her practical skills.
In this conversation, Austin and I discuss the impact of social media and mainstream media on people's consumption habits and the importance of seeking diverse opinions.
We also explore the art of creating palatable dishes from game meat and the satisfaction of sourcing food sustainably.
The conversation concludes with a discussion on dealing with positive and negative feedback as a creator and the continuous journey of learning and growing.
