Country Outdoors | A Field And Stream Production

This is a story about perspective.

Alyssa Hall didn’t grow up hunting. In fact, she was completely against it. Like a lot of people, she believed meat came from the grocery store and never thought about where it actually came from or what hunting really meant.

Now, her life looks completely different.

 @alyfromalabama  her husband both work in the hunting industry with  @Buckmasters.Outdoors  fully immersed in the outdoor lifestyle she once didn’t understand.

In this episode of the Country Outdoors podcast, Ally shares how she went from being anti-hunting to working in the hunting industry. We talk about the moment her mindset started to shift, what she misunderstood about hunting, and how being around the right people changed everything.

We also get into:

what hunting actually means beyond the stereotypes
conservation and respect for wildlife
how the outdoor industry welcomes new people
the reality of stepping into something you once disagreed with

“It’s not cool to find God in Hollywood.”

Actor AJ Buckley — best known for his role as Sonny Quinn on SEAL Team — opens up about faith, fatherhood, identity, and what really changed when he stopped chasing ego and started getting grounded in God.

AJ Buckley has built a successful acting career spanning decades, from CSI: NY to SEAL Team, where he became a fan-favorite portraying one of the most intense and loyal operators on Bravo Team, Sonny Quinn

But behind the scenes, AJ’s real story is deeper. In this conversation, he shares what it’s actually like to speak openly about faith in Hollywood — where he says it’s “not cool” to talk about finding God — and why he refuses to stay quiet about it.

From becoming a father and realizing how much it softened him, to confronting pain from his past and recognizing he wasn’t as present with his family as he thought, AJ gets honest about the moments that made him change.

He also talks about:
- The pressure of Hollywood culture vs personal beliefs
- Letting go of ego and chasing purpose instead of fame
- The turning point that reshaped how he shows up as a husband and father
- Why discipline, faith, and accountability now drive everything he does — including his brand Born of Discipline

If you’ve ever wrestled with identity, purpose, or what it costs to stand firm in your beliefs — this conversation will hit.
