This was supposed to be a hot wing challenge.It turned into something else.We sat down to take on a melt your face off hot wing challenge and ended up in a real conversation about food, marriage, work, ambition, comfort, and the choices that shape a life over time.The heat ramps up fast. Talking becomes harder. Filters disappear.We talk about building something from scratch, walking away from paths that look good on paper, raising kids with intention, food as memory, food as connection, and why comfort has a way of slowly pulling people off course.This episode also introduces The Wild Kitchen Podcast, a show about food, authors, hunters, foragers, and people who still know how to make things with their hands and feed the people they love.Nothing here was planned. Nothing was cleaned up to make it tidy.If you’re into honest conversations, good food, and doing things the hard way on purpose, this one will land.Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-wild-kitchen/id1871562316Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7IVrTjpZePPuoKprNkgZx6?si=afb700ee09994cf4Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thewildkitchenpodcast/_____Silvercore Club - https://bit.ly/2RiREb4 Online Training - https://bit.ly/3nJKx7U Other Training & Services - https://bit.ly/3vw6kSU Merchandise - https://bit.ly/3ecyvk9 Blog Page - https://bit.ly/3nEHs8W Host Instagram - @Bader.Trav https://www.instagram.com/bader.travSilvercore Instagram - @SilvercoreOutdoors https://www.instagram.com/silvercoreoutdoors____Timestamps00:00 We commit to the hot wing challenge01:45 Why the first attempt failed04:10 What The Wild Kitchen is really about07:30 Starting something and sticking with it10:50 Food, memory, and why meals matter14:40 The meals that never leave you18:20 Heat kicks in and thinking gets harder21:45 Comfort food and emotional attachment24:50 Death row meals and what they reveal30:15 What we wanted to be as kids35:05 Leaving the path you were expected to follow39:40 Work that feels honest45:30 Food, family, and presence50:00 Heat level check and regret53:10 Old skills in a modern world58:20 Belief, curiosity, and asking better questions01:03:45 Pushing through discomfort01:07:40 Failure, momentum, and self trust01:12:20 Dealing with criticism01:16:10 Grandparents, food, and inherited habits01:20:40 Preservation, fermentation, and patience01:24:10 Processing animals and community01:28:10 What the future actually looks like01:32:30 Final wing and closing thoughts
