In this podcast, we sit down to chat with Paul Puckett about how art has shaped the way he views the outdoors. Paul also shares about how he has learned to embrace mistakes, and why “perfection is boring.” We are also joined by Owen Plair of Rivers and Glen to discuss all things Charleston. This podcast also features some of Paul’s original songs.

Owen Gayler: Living Life & Selling Out – Captains Collective Fishing Podcast
In this podcast we sit down with Captain Owen Gayler less than a year after his stage four cancer diagnosis to talk through what that journey has actually looked like.
We cover the moment he got the call, the reality of treatment, and the physical, mental, and emotional challenges that came with it. We also talk about how the experience has changed the way he sees his life, his family, and his time on the water.
The conversation moves through identity, ego, faith, and what it looks like to have everything stripped away and rebuilt.
This isn’t a polished or overly structured interview—it’s an honest look at a difficult season and the perspective that’s come from it.
