In this captivating episode, we delve into the realms of masculinity, foster parenting, and much more with the remarkable Samuel Ayres. Join us as we explore his journey from suburban upbringing to becoming a single dad raising foster kids, all while forging a profound connection with the outdoors.
Samuel is a firm believer that being “country” is not defined by where you live or where you were born, but rather by how you live and where your heart truly lies. Although he spent his childhood as a suburban kid in Southern California, Samuel’s spirit was always drawn to the untamed beauty of nature. While he had his BB gun, a recurve bow, and even a Davey Crockett coonskin cap, activities like camping, fishing, and horseback riding were more of occasional adventures than daily experiences.
Fast forward to the present day, and Samuel has undergone a transformative journey. He has bid farewell to the bustling city streets and embraced the wilderness, equipped with his bow and rifle, immersing himself in the world of hunting and the great outdoors.
The Wild Initiative:
Samuel is the CEO and founder of The Wild Initiative, LLC, and the TWI Digital Media Group. With over 15 years of experience managing large-scale digital projects and a profound understanding of website design and development, he recognized the need to elevate the digital presence of outdoor brands through TWI Digital Media Group.
Inspired by his passion for hunting and the desire to share his journey, Samuel established The Wild Initiative brand (previously known as Living Country in the City). This platform provides an opportunity for him to connect with remarkable individuals in the outdoors, engaging in conversations with some of the smartest and most inspiring men and women in the field.
Samuel’s philosophy:
For Samuel, being “country” transcends geographical boundaries. It is a matter of where your heart lies and how you choose to live your life. He firmly believes that present circumstances should never limit one’s passions. Regardless of where you were born or where you currently reside, if your heart is drawn to the wilderness, then you embody the spirit of being “country.”
Join Samuel Ayres on his extraordinary journey of self-discovery, fatherhood, and deep connection with nature by listening to this captivating episode. To learn more about Samuel and his endeavors, visit The Wild Initiative website at thewildinitiative.com.

Jim Vance is a compassionate and experienced guide who has worked with countless men and women worldwide, helping them transform their lives, health, and relationships. He specializes in working with purpose-driven men who are proactive, self-motivated, and dedicated to personal growth. These men are on a quest to align with their authentic masculine identity, allowing them to make a positive impact in the world through their purpose and live in harmonious relationships.
Drawing from a wealth of experience and witnessing various levels of identity shifts, Jim possesses the skills to serve individuals at different stages of consciousness. He deeply understands how to overcome unconscious barriers that hinder the alignment of one’s identity with their soul’s highest self. Jim acknowledges that his own personal journey, with its ups and downs, has shaped him and granted him the wisdom, growth, and embodiment required to impact his clients profoundly.
Embarking on a Journey of Growth:
Jim’s personal journey can be summed up by the saying, “The journey of 1000 lifetimes begins with one step.” With each step he has taken, Jim has evolved from a man living in misalignment and inauthenticity to a conscious individual who awakens in every moment, consciously steering his life toward his vision on a daily basis.
Jim’s upbringing in a “normal” and loving family provided a solid foundation. He cherished family connections, engaged in adventures, and experienced personal growth. His father, a philosophical blue-collar worker, constantly sought the meaning in life and imparted valuable lessons to Jim and his brothers. Meanwhile, his goal-oriented mother instilled in him a drive for excellence, no matter the endeavor.
However, beneath the surface of a seemingly ideal childhood, Jim grappled with numerous challenges. He faced poverty, an ingrained belief of “never enough,” bullying, a lack of confidence due to his physical appearance, and a tendency to seek validation through external means such as food, relationships, and pornography. He lived with the constant pressure of perfection and the fear of losing love. Jim struggled to pursue his desires, lacked a sense of being enough to be fully loved, and grappled with understanding and embracing his true self. These experiences formed an unaligned identity within him, which threatened to derail his life multiple times.
Confronting the Unhealed Wounds:
It was only when Jim reached rock bottom, eyeing a second divorce, facing professional uncertainty, and battling self-destructive patterns, that he realized the pivotal role his own inner transformation played in manifesting the love and success he yearned for. In a dark night of the soul, alone in a parking lot, Jim experienced a profound realization: the fulfillment he sought originated from within, not outside of himself. Thus began his journey of self-healing, learning to love himself unconditionally, processing emotions at a deep level, embodying a healthy masculine frame, and leading his life from a place of self-acceptance and sufficiency.
Over several years, Jim dedicated himself to this transformative process. He cultivated a fully aligned version of himself, now living the life of his dreams and experiencing the relationships he had always desired. It was during this transformative journey that Jim discovered his calling to support men facing life’s challenges or seeking to elevate themselves toward their desired lives.
Guiding Men Towards Greatness:
Today, Jim Vance serves men with clarity, consistency, and alignment. He trusts in the person he has become and continues to evolve into. His mission is to inspire men to transcend mediocrity and realign themselves with their inherent greatness. Jim provides a supportive space for men to turn to when their lives seem to be falling apart or when they seek to take the next step toward the life they aspire to.
Through his guidance and mentorship, Jim empowers men to step into their true potential, embrace their authentic identity, and lead fulfilling lives in alignment with their purpose. He believes that every man has the capacity to rise above societal conditioning and tap into their inner strength, wisdom, and compassion. Jim’s commitment lies in facilitating this transformational journey for men, leading them toward lives filled with purpose, authenticity, and deep fulfillment.
