This week, we get an inspiring story with a Western twist. Haley is joined by Susan Gaetz, Executive Director of Casting for Recovery, a nonprofit organization that combines the therapeutic power of nature and fly fishing to support women recovering from breast cancer. Susan shares how the organization got started, its growth to nearly every state in the country, and why a fly rod can be a surprising but powerful tool for healing.

Tune in to learn how ranchers, landowners, and anglers alike can support this life-changing mission - and why access to wild places matters more than ever.

With summer around the corner, we’re all looking for more ways to get outside—and this week, we’re sharing an exciting new tool that’s changing the game for both landowners and sportsmen. Haley and Mirr Ranch Group broker Erik Anderson sit down with Sam Seeton, CEO of Infinite Outdoors, to explore how technology is unlocking new possibilities for recreation, access, and conservation.

Infinite Outdoors is a first-of-its-kind app that connects landowners directly with hunters and anglers, offering secure, on-demand access to private land while helping landowners generate income without the headaches of traditional outfitting. From custom habitat plans by in-house biologists to flexible booking calendars and built-in transparency, the platform puts conservation and control back in the hands of landowners. Whether you're looking to earn more from your land or find exclusive places to hunt and fish, this episode is for you.
