MP Blaine Calkins is the Conservative representative for Red Deer and Lacombe in the House of Commons of Canada. He’s also what’s known as the ‘shadow minister’ for hunting, fishing and conservation for the Conservative Party - meaning he is the official opposition party’s choice for that role. We connected with his Chief of Staff, and reached out to have a conversation about the Canadian gun issues we’ve been watching through the past year. It’s pretty humbling when an MP in Canada knows about Blood Origins and is a big fan of what we do, and says absolutely to a podcast.

If you’re asking yourself why we invited a neurophysiologist to a podcast about hunting - Kate is a new member of this tribe of ours!

This podcast isn’t just about Kate becoming a hunter but also hearing  about the neural pathways tied to being in the outdoors and mental health.

Now, 90,000 followers strong - Carl joins Robbie to discuss that mindset shift and where he gained such comfort endorsing hunting as a famous person, and how that journey came to be.

Our biggest year yet is coming!
