Ben shares how he first got started in fly fishing, where his connection to the outdoors began, and how his relationship with fishing has evolved over the years. We also dive into how content creation naturally became part of what he does and his approach to telling stories through photography and video. We talk about balancing the experience of being fully present on the water while still capturing meaningful content, along with how his background as a professional athlete with the United States men's national soccer team shaped the mindset he brings into fishing and media today. We also get into gear, travel, creativity, and what's coming next for Ben moving forward. We wrap things up with five songs for the Trout Tunes Spotify playlist, plus final thanks and plugs. If you're into fly fishing, outdoor storytelling, and the crossover between sports and the outdoors, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
