In our latest episode, we sit down with athlete, author, and outdoor enthusiast Anthony Porter—a true multi-hyphenate known for his skills in archery, knife throwing, and parkour. These days, Anthony is best known for his educational and entertaining outdoor videos that explore nature conservation, wildlife, and survival skills. Anthony opens up about the intense challenges of competing on American Ninja Warrior, the unexpected moments he's faced in the great outdoors, and how a childhood love of nature shaped his life's path. Through humor, storytelling, and hands-on expertise, he brings the wilderness to life for audiences of all ages. A certified backpacking guide, rock climber, and archery instructor, Anthony shares his knowledge with thousands—but his true passion lies in inspiring kids to embrace the outdoors. His children’s book, My Epic Nature Journal, encourages young explorers to draw, craft, and engage with the natural world in creative ways.
