In Episode 96, Sofia interviews Caleb Giddings (again). Hailing from the sun-soaked shores of California and currently residing in the heartland of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Caleb's journey is a whirlwind of adventure and expertise.
With a career rooted in the firearms industry and a past life as a sharp-witted insurance agent, Caleb's story is as diverse as it is captivating. His passion for shooting ignited during his days as a cadet, where he proudly served on the shooting team at the United States Coast Guard Academy, setting the stage for his future endeavors.
But Caleb's journey truly took flight when he discovered his love for competitive shooting while in college, honing his skills in the NRA Collegiate Pistol program. In 2006, he took the plunge and founded Gun Nuts Media, a dynamic platform catering to the needs of competitive shooters worldwide.
