Steven Rinella is an American outdoorsman, writer, and television host, best known for promoting ethical hunting, wildlife conservation, and field-to-table cooking. 

He is the founder of MeatEater, Inc., a company that produces hunting, fishing, and outdoor lifestyle content across multiple platforms, including television, podcasts, and digital media.

As the host of "MeatEater", a long-running TV series on Netflix and many other platforms, Rinella takes viewers into the field, blending hunting adventures with education on wildlife, ecology, and sustainable food sourcing. A hallmark of the show is its authenticity—highlighting not just the successes but also the challenges of hunting, including the reality that not every hunt ends in a filled tag.

In addition to the TV series, Rinella hosts "The MeatEater Podcast", America's most listened-to outdoors podcast, which ranks among the top ten sports podcasts overall. Featuring expert guests, in-depth discussions on conservation, and plenty of entertaining outdoors stories, the podcast has become a go-to resource for hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts.

An accomplished author, Rinella has written ten books (and three audiobooks) on hunting, wild game cooking, and outdoor survival, including American Buffalo: In Search of a Lost Icon; The MeatEater Guide to Wilderness Skills and Survival; The MeatEater Fish and Game Cookbook; and Outdoor Kids in an Inside World: Getting Your Family out of the House and Radically Engaged with Nature. His writing has appeared in many publications, including Wall Street Journal, Outside, The New York Times, Men's Journal, and Glamour. Rinella also appeared in the Ken Burns documentary, The American Buffalo.

Nathan Apffel is a Christian, filmmaker, entrepreneur, and director of The Religion Business, a multi-part docuseries that exposes the financial practices and lack of accountability in Western religion, particularly Christianity. Drawing from personal experiences with church scandals and abuse, Apffel investigates how religious institutions accumulate vast wealth, estimated at $2 trillion in the U.S. alone, while often prioritizing internal spending over community impact, with 94 cents of every donated dollar staying within church walls. Co-produced with Chris Ayoub, the series features interviews with experts like Joel Osteen and highlights issues like the religious exemption from financial reporting.

Apffel is developing tech solutions to promote transparency and community-driven reform in religious organizations. He advocates for ethical governance, victim support, and redirecting resources to solve global issues like poverty and homelessness. Based in the U.S., Apffel blends storytelling, technology, and faith to challenge the status quo and foster meaningful change in the "nonprofit Goliath" of organized religion.
