Duck Commander is in its 50th year as a company, and yet for most of that time, it was a cottage industry. Building duck calls in the family home. All of that changed in the early 2000's when the brand of duck calls started getting the recognition it deserved. Designed by Phil Robertson in the early 1970's the now famous duck calls have led to the demise of tens of thousands of ducks.
But there is far more to the story than mere duck calls. Phil Robertson's conversion has been well documented, and today's show is not about Phil, but about his son Willie. Willie took his business degree and helped propel Duck Commander into a global phenomenon and made them the most sold, most watched and most admired company in the outdoor space.
Willie's humility about how the company grew under his leadership is apparent in this conversation. From expanding sponsorships to TV deals, and the now infamous Duck Dynasty shows. Willie is the epitome of an entrepreneur and as such the family has a platform to focus on what is most important and that is in sharing their faith with tens of millions of folks all across the world.
I am humbled that Willie took time out of his hectic schedule to sit down with me as we discuss all things, ducks, bucks and Jesus.

Why are we prideful? Why do men think its week to be humble? Today we discuss the pitfall of being prideful and how God's word warns us about being prideful. Today we learn fromMproverbs, 16:18 "pride comes before destruction..."
so many men have a hard time forgiving themselves for past mistakes. but hear me here...
"you are not defined by your worst decision." Proverbs tell us that we are his and that humility comes before honor. We are to humble ourselves before God and one another if we are to enter into a whole relationship with our God.
"The heart of a man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps."

Sitting in my deer stand in SE Kansas got me reflecting on how great God is and how so many of us feel alone adn isolated at times. In reading my bible, I read again Psalm 100 and those words reminded me that we are never alone, but that we are His. Regardless of what you are going through, remember you are HIS and his love is greater than anything that can come against you.

In my world as an outdoor writer I have the ability to preview a lot of new products, and to see some of the new innovations that are on the horizon. I am constantly amazed at how people create ways to make a hole. The Archery Trade Association annual show is one place where you will witness dozens of new broadhead designs every year.
It seems that there is always someone who thinks they can create a better broadhead. One that flies better, cutted better, and tunes easier. I've seen broadheads that were diminituve in size barely bigger than the arrow itself, and some that looked like a hubcap flying through the air. And every one of these folks believed theirs was the best ever designed.
Today, we have on the show the founders of a new broadhead company, TouLou broadheads has designed a single bevel broadhead with a twist...literally, and the design allows the arrow to fly straight and flatter due to the tip driving the rotation of the arrow verses the feathers.
More than this, Trevor and Jake share their stories of faith and personal transformation that is surre to inspire you.
