The Oakley Podcast, Trucking, Business & Family, shares real conversations from the heart of the trucking world, with stories that connect drivers, families, and anyone who loves life on the road. Hosted by Jeremy Kellett, the show has passed 250 episodes and continues to highlight the people who keep America moving.
This episode comes from the archives as one of their favorite conversations of the year, featuring Carlton and Leigh Wing of Arkansas Great Outdoors. They talk about their journey into outdoor television, their love for nature, and how getting outside can change your life.
Carlton and Leigh share how their broadcasting careers led to the launch of Wing Media Group and the creation of a show that celebrates the beauty and accessibility of the Arkansas outdoors. Their goal is to help people feel more confident exploring nature, whether that means fishing, hiking, camping, or simply stepping outside.
Leigh brings a personal connection to the trucking world, shaped by her family’s history in the industry and her own experience working for a trucking company. Her respect for drivers and their role in keeping the country moving resonates strongly with Oakley’s audience.
Throughout the episode, they reflect on the value of spending time outdoors and the joy of introducing others to it. From helping first-time fishers to sharing hidden gems like Woolly Hollow and Lake Fort Smith, the Wings offer thoughtful insight, heartfelt stories, and a touch of humor. They also talk about how the early days of the pandemic sparked a renewed interest in getting outside and why that shift continues to matter.
This conversation is a reminder to slow down, step outside, and appreciate what is right in front of us. Whether you are on the road or on the water, there is something here for you.
