Southern Charm’s Shep Rose sits down at his family’s South Carolina farm with Mary O'Neill Phillips from the Country Outdoors Podcast to talk about a life lived hard: reality TV fame, party life, ayahuasca, fly fishing, surfing, and chasing adventure all over the world. From Alaska and Patagonia to Cuba, Fiji, Costa Rica and Christmas Island, Shep shares how the outdoors, the ocean, and one powerful psychedelic experience forced him to re‑think excess and what actually matters.

In this episode we dive into:

– Growing up on generational land, hunting ducks and deer with his dad and grandfather
– How he fell in love with fly fishing in Alaska and chased giant trout, salmon, bonefish, tarpon and permit from Patagonia to Cuba and the Bahamas
– The surf trips that took him to Bali, Fiji, Costa Rica, French Polynesia and Christmas Island
– Why the ocean, marshes and wild places feel like home and keep him grounded
– The ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica that became a true “psychedelic reckoning” with his party lifestyle, alcohol, and always looking for the exit
– Writing his new book “Nothing in Moderation: A Psychedelic Reckoning with Excess” and what he hopes people take from it

If you love hunting, fly fishing, surfing, travel, and honest conversations about mental health, excess, and second chances, this one is for you.
