EP.449: Unplug, Hunt Harder | Cody D’Acquisto Jul 16, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m joined by my buddy Cody D’Acquisto for a conversation that digs deep into more than just treestand setups and big bucks on the wall. Cody’s fresh off the road and gearing up for his upcoming road show, and we break down what it means to really unplug from the noise and lean into the lessons the woods — and the mats — have to offer. We get into how elimination and identification shape our hunting decisions, why mastering the fundamentals matters whether you’re tightening a choke in jiu jitsu or slipping an arrow through a buck’s ribs, and how the right mindset can make or break your hunt before you ever lace up your boots.

Cody shares what he’s seeing out there, where he’s headed next, and why the pressure we carry these days sometimes needs to be left at the truck. It’s an honest look at discipline, flow state, and why the best lessons still come from just showing up, putting in the work, and staying present enough to enjoy the whole damn ride.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 449

Unplugging from tech is tougher — and more rewarding — than folks think.
Road shows give Cody fresh lessons and real connections with hunters everywhere.
Cutting dead spots and doubling down on good ground makes all the difference.
Mastery, whether on the mats or in the stand, comes down to intent and time under tension.
Staying present and trusting flow beats overthinking every time.
Hunting is unpredictable — persistence and grit usually beat raw talent.
Cody’s fired up for the next hunt, the next roll, and the next chance to learn.
