⚠️ Content warning: This episode contains open discussions of suicide, which may be distressing for some listeners, please take care or skip this one if you need to.

In this episode I’m joined by Gareth Hughes, owner of Victory Knives. We have an honest and candid conversation about moving through life after losing a number of close friends to suicide. We discuss grief, the important role of support systems and mental health advocacy. Gareth also dives into his journey from sales, then the liquor game and entrepreneurship (42 Below, Moa Beer and now Victory Knives), raising his kids and cherishing meaningful relationships.

🎙️Some of the things we discuss:

  • Hunting and the outdoors
  • Gareth’s business background and Victory Knives
  • The loss of friends to suicide
  • Support systems, advice and advocacy
  • Parenting and changing roles
  • Personal resilience and self-care habits

Whether you’re here for connection, hope, or guidance, this honest chat is an important reminder that simply being present, making a call, sharing a walk, or quietly keeping someone company can change, or even save a life.
