Corey Lucas and Kaj Carlson finish the year with one of Corey's "Wrapped" artists from Spotify, Dallas-based artist Jet Trouble.

Jet guides us through his life journey that has led to making music that is both personal and relatable. His testimony of persevering through trials in life that include losing his father to a terminal illness are addressed in his songs and he reveals how the music plays a role in his processing of those events. The guys also reflect on how Jet's dad influenced him and how his show of support can be a model for their own lives and facilitating interests in their own kids.

Jet reveals some insight into the music industry and online streaming platforms like Spotify. It was a meaningful conversation and a great opportunity to take a look behind the curtain in the music industry!

If you want to fill your ears with some music that will uplift you today as well as give you some feels...check out Jet Trouble on all the streaming platforms.

Corey Lucas and Kaj Carlson sit down in the Cedar Run Decoy Co. studio with Craig Curtis, whose name is synonymous with ducks and conservation in southwest Michigan and beyond.

As a long-time regional director for Ducks Unlimited, Craig has extensive knowledge on how conservation is funded, the demographic of Ducks Unlimited members here in Michigan, and what "Ducks" has been able to accomplish on the landscape.

The guys dive deep into Craig's journey to become a staff member of DU and how his past experience led to the perfect job at the perfect time. Craig talks about the importance of family and community that guided his path and how he navigated balancing the demands of the position.

Great conversation with a truly genuine person who sacrifices to put more ducks and wetlands in North America for all of us!

Corey travels to the small but mighty town of Wallace, South Dakota to visit with one of the most gifted wildlife artists of our time... this year's duck stamp competition winner Adam Grimm (three time winner) .

Adam describes his childhood ambition to pursue art and the guys discuss how difficult it is and what a rarity to be able to have a long and successful career as an artist.

Adam's journey from becoming the youngest ever winner of the duck stamp competition and his resiliency through the ups and downs is loaded with lessons learned and it's clear that he is passionate about waterfowl, and that passion is shared by his entire family.

He also shares some insight into the duck stamp competition and Corey discusses the growing concerns about keeping the duck stamp tradition alive.
