​Johnny Carrol Sain brings a unique perspective to speaking engagements and podcast conversations, drawing from his experience as both a literary voice and someone who has lived intimately with the land. His thoughtful approach to complex topics makes him an engaging guest for audiences interested in the deeper connections between people, place, and purpose.

Johnny addresses a range of subjects with the same careful observation that characterizes his writing:

• Spirituality as a Hunter/Angler - exploring the sacred dimensions of our relationship with wildlife and nature

• Understanding Sense of Place - what it means to truly inhabit a landscape and let it shape who we are

• Rural Culture - the values, contradictions, and wisdom of small-town and backwoods communities

• Climate Change - practical and philosophical approaches to environmental stewardship within a culture of denial

• The Natural World - from snakes to seasonal rhythms, finding wonder in often overlooked aspects of nature

• Rural Life and Literature - how place informs voice in writing about the American countryside

• Thoughtful Outdoor Practices - ethical hunting, fishing, and land use

​

Johnny has appeared on national podcasts discussing topics ranging from public land access to wildlife appreciation. He has spoken in college classrooms about relationships with the land, a sense of place, and rural culture.
