EP. 437: More Than Tags - Finding Meaning in the Misses | Tyler Jones

On this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m joined by my buddy Tyler Jones—someone you probably know from The Element crew. We get into the thick of it: deer hunting, turkey hunting, road trips, and all the curveballs that come from chasing critters in places you’ve never stepped foot in. But this conversation goes deeper than just chasing mature bucks and birds. We talk about how life on the road chasing music dreams actually mirrors the pursuit of becoming a better hunter. Tyler shares what it’s like trying to balance it all—travel, family, and the grit it takes to keep moving forward when everything tells you to quit. There’s plenty of humility, a fair share of laughs, and some honest talk about the kind of perspective that only comes after missing more than you hit. We dig into how failure can be the best teacher, why staying grateful matters more than you think, and how adapting in the field—and in life—is what separates those who keep growing from those who give up. This one’s as much about personal growth as it is about hunting. Hope you enjoy it. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 437 Hunting, touring bands, and travel hunts all teach grit and resilience. Comfort isn’t guaranteed when you’re travel hunting in new places—it’s part of the fun. Failure, both in the field and in life, often teaches more than success ever could. Balancing family, passion, and purpose is messy—but it’s where growth happens. Humility, not ego, is the key to becoming a better hunter and a better person. The path to mastery—whether in hunting or life—is about learning, adapting, and showing up. Gratitude and perspective can turn even the toughest moments into something meaningful.
