Welcome back to Iron Sights! In this episode, I interviewed the founder and facilitator for a recent hunting experience I had in Austin Texas. If you enjoyed the stories and lessons shared from Episode #22 with Mike Salemi this conversation will be right up your alley. Mansal discusses his background, growing up with highly educated parents who supported him through early childhood mistakes which put him behind bars at just 20 years old. The time spent in Prison inspired Mansal to seek mentorship and follow his callings for sport, yoga, healing ceremonies and hunting. In 2021, Mansal facilitated countless hunting events, spending over 2,000 hours in nature leading Sacred Hunts. This podcast shares the experiences and life path that fueled his journey into becoming the leader he is today.
