Mike Catherwood joins The Fighter and The Kid for one of the most entertaining conversations yet, diving into how moving to rural Texas completely changed his perspective on life. From training jiu-jitsu and adapting to farm life to raising livestock, protecting animals from predators, and sharing unbelievable encounters with mountain lions, crocodiles, and wildlife, this episode is packed with incredible stories.
Mike Catherwood and Bryan Callen also discuss why real-world experience beats theory, the realities of building a farm from scratch, dangerous animal encounters around the world, survival instincts, the appeal of rural living, and why some of nature's deadliest creatures deserve far more respect than most people realize.
If you enjoy conversations about MMA, hunting, the outdoors, wildlife, self-reliance, Texas living, and hilarious storytelling, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
