Super Bowl champ Derek Wolfe, ex-Broncos football star, traded gridiron sacks for bowhunting thrills. From tackling QBs to taking down a 220-pound mountain lion, he is living untamed. His Wolfe Untamed podcast and YouTube channel dive into hunts, vets, and celebs, while he co-owns 7T Outfitters in Colorado. A conservation advocate, he’s still howling—now in the wild.

Mammoth Distilling’s reviving Rosen Rye, a legendary grain from 1919, once prized for killer whiskey. Grown on South Manitou Island, this rugged project is led by distillers battling nature for a bold, spicy rye. Think adventure, heritage, and damn good drinks—first bottles drop in 2026. Pair it with their Woolly Rye or Bourbon for a taste of Northern Michigan grit.

Whitney Johns, a 30-something fitness advocate, went from clumsy Idaho kid to shredded pro bodybuilder and boxer. Lifting weights at 16 flipped her life—kicking chronic pain and mental health struggles to the curb. Now a WBFF pro and influencer, she’s all about real strength, clean eats, and hunting with her fighter fiancé. Whitney is proof that you’re never too old to get jacked and live your best life.

The John Wayne Birthplace & Museum in Fort Worth’s Stockyards is a must-hit. This 14,000-square-foot shrine to "The Duke" packs 400+ relics—think True Grit guns, cowboy hats, and his jacked-up Pontiac. Pair it with Mule Alley’s BBQ and brews or a stockyards cattle drive. It’s a real tribute to a legend who owned the screen and lived big.
