Two Dudes, One Mission: A Journey of Purpose and Passion | The Movember Challenge

This one means a lot.

For Day 11 of the Movember Challenge, I sat down with Jose Cinco—you might know him as @bait_n_boujee— for a conversation that hits way deeper than fishing.

Jose’s an Army Veteran, storyteller, outdoorsman, and one of the most genuine guys I’ve met in this industry. He’s a reminder that you can build a life around the water, around your passion, and still be a man who talks about what really matters—mental health, purpose, and community.

In this episode, we talk about the real side of chasing dreams, the mental weight veterans carry long after service, and how the outdoors—especially fishing—can bring peace, perspective, and healing when words can’t.

Jose shares his journey from military life to becoming a full-time creator and the Relationship Manager at KastKing, where he helps connect others to fishing through authenticity, humor, and heart. Together, we talk about what it means to live intentionally—not just for yourself, but for the people who need to hear your story.

Because this challenge—and this episode—are about more than just catching fish.
They’re about reminding every man watching that you are not alone, and there’s help, healing, and brotherhood waiting for you.

If You or a Veteran You Know Needs Support:

Jose shared several incredible organizations doing the work every day:

Warriors for Freedom – Programs and resources supporting veterans’ mental health and overall wellbeing. (Jose is actively involved here.)
Cohen Veterans Network – Mental health care for veterans and families. (Another organization Jose supports directly.)
Heroes on the Water – Uses kayaking and fishing as therapy for veterans and first responders.
The Fallen Outdoors – Hunting and fishing trips that build camaraderie and connection.
Army Bass Anglers – A nationwide community of veterans bonding through the outdoors.

If you’re struggling—talk.
If you can’t talk—fish.
And if you can fish—bring someone with you.
