In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I caught up with my buddy Jacob Sklenar for a conversation that goes well beyond tree stand tactics. We talk about life changes—like his recent marriage—and how those moments shift the way we approach not just hunting, but everything. We dig into how mindset, resilience, and personal growth show up in the woods and in everyday life, and why focusing on the process—not just the outcome—can make you a better hunter and a better human. From deer seasons to big life seasons, this one’s all about slowing down, staying present, and figuring out what really matters.
