We will be unavailable at our facility tomorrow (Tuesday) as we had to reschedule our Sunday meet-up at the last minute (even our car's AC didn't want anything to do with last week's temps and decided to go AWOL 🥵)! We're now back up and running, and our Sunday meet-ups will resume as normal!

This week's episode features the one and only Myke Clarkson!

This was a turbo charged conversation - Mr. Clarkson's passion and enthusiasm flows out of him like a torrential rainstorm!

We started with his early life but quickly escalated to a life altering moment in which he was envenomated by a stiletto snake, but this mishap led to a career in film and TV and much, much more!

This is definitely one you're not going to want to miss!

⚠️🚨 IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR TOMORROW'S MEET-UP CUSTOMERS!! 🚨⚠️

There is currently a dry ice shortage in Texas. As a result, we are only able to transport orders on regular ice. While we will do our best to keep everybody's orders frozen, there is naturally only so much we can do when on the road. We will reach out to each customer shortly, but if anybody with a frozen order wishes to postpone until the following meet-up, let us know! If you wish to still go ahead with your order, please be sure to bring a cooler with ice to transfer your order into!

Thank you!

This episode features the one and only Francisco Portillo!

This was an absolutely fantastic conversation! We dive into Francisco’s early days in Texas and explore the experiences that would ultimately spark an all-encompassing passion for the natural world that would shape his career and path through life.

As much as I try to stay focused on the history and experiences of each guest, sometimes that becomes a little difficult when you’re talking with a kindred spirit who shares the same deep fascination and passion for West Texas that I do!

From the landscapes and wildlife to the experiences that shape a lifelong connection with the natural world, this conversation takes us on a fascinating journey through Francisco’s story, his passions, and the places that helped define him.

This was, as always, an incredible conversation—and one you absolutely will not want to miss!

Tune in, settle in, and join us for another fascinating journey into the people, places, and stories that make the natural world so extraordinary!
