Midwest Legends Episode #2: Ike Wynter—Hunting Stories, Celebrity Clients & Going Viral

Acclaimed artist Ike Wynter joins the show, telling Russell about all the fascinating places his artwork has taken him. Russell shares how a partnership with the Brewers turned into a once-in-a-lifetime special moment with his dad, while Ike talks about his work with the NFL Draft, Mike Tyson, and the one client that became “the hardest no of my life.” Together they trade hunting stories—including the unforgettable doe that made its way into Wynter family lore. Get ready for easygoing, unfiltered storytelling that feels like you just pulled up a chair at the local bar with your friends. Hey there! Midwest Legends is not a show about Paul Bunyan, Babe the Blue Ox, or Sasquatch, but you will hear lots of great stories from the modern-day doers and dreamers leaving their mark on the Midwest. Each episode, one of these folks shares part of their journey with host Russell Nicolet. If you haven’t heard of them before, Midwest Legends is here to introduce you.
