    Izzy didn’t plan on becoming an archer. She just gave it a try and never really stopped. What started as a ten dollar experiment turned into hours of practice, training with a college coach, and eventually competing at the state level.

    In this episode, Izzy shares what it was like to struggle through her first competition, come back and win her next one, and learn how much of the sport is mental. She talks about staying focused under pressure, building confidence, and how one small decision led to a scholarship opportunity.

    It’s a real look at growth, mindset, and what can happen when you stick with something.

    Stay hootworthy.

    Jan 30 2026

    Send a text

    Caleb stepped into leadership in a big way this year. As Georgia’s Beta Senior Leadership Representative, he found himself doing a lot more than wearing a title. He was introducing speakers, judging competitions, helping run events, and speaking in front of large crowds at the state and national level.

    In this episode, Caleb shares what that experience was really like, from interviewing for the role at the Beta Summit on Jekyll Island to standing on stage giving farewell remarks. He talks honestly about being nervous, learning to stay calm, and growing more confident as the responsibility grew.

    We also talk about what leadership actually means to him, why service matters more than recognition, and how being a GCA student made it possible to take on this opportunity without missing school.

    It’s a grounded look at leadership, growth, and what happens when you’re willing to step up and serve.

    Stay hootworthy.
