The Maggie Williams Podcast
Maggie Williams is the host of The Maggie Williams Podcast, the number one female-hosted hunting podcast in the United States. A former Miss Arkansas Teen USA, Maggie has since traded stage lights for a lifetime of watching the sun rise through the trees. Her passion for storytelling and the outdoors has made her one of the most recognizable voices in modern waterfowl culture. A devoted duck and turkey hunter, Maggie travels the country chasing adventure while sharing a message that encourages women to step confidently into God’s creation.
Rooted in her Christian faith and a deep respect for tradition, the fourth-generation duck hunter has dedicated her life to advocating for female involvement in hunting, conservation, and outdoor heritage. Whether behind a microphone or in a duck blind, Maggie celebrates the people, places, and grit that define America’s sporting way of life.
As a writer and author, Maggie approaches each conversation with intention and curiosity, drawing out stories that deserve to be told. Her podcast features hunters, conservationists, outdoorsmen and women, and cultural voices whose experiences carry meaning beyond the hunt and harvest. Through honest dialogue and thoughtful storytelling, she preserves the lessons, values, and faith found in a life lived outdoors—amplifying voices that tell the story of the American outdoors.

Ep 47- Brewing Business in the Blind with Jay Peterson
THIS WEEK'S GUEST: JAY PETERSON, CO-FOUNDER OF DIRTY DUCK COFFEE.
On today’s episode, Maggie sits down with Jay Peterson—the founder of Dirty Duck Coffee—for a conversation brewed with tradition, grit, and a whole lot of duck hunting passion.
From his earliest memories in the blind to launching one of the most recognized coffee brands in the outdoor space, Jay shares how duck hunting shaped his life and inspired a business tailored to the waterfowl community. We dive into his favorite hunting approaches, how coffee fits into a cold morning in the blind, and what outsiders often miss about duck camp culture.
Jay also opens up about the realities of entrepreneurship: balancing business with his love for the outdoors, lessons learned the hard way, and how Dirty Duck stays innovative in a crowded market. Plus, we get into some fun Kansas City favorites, rapid-fire hunting preferences, and what blends you should be watching for next.
Whether you’re a die-hard duck hunter or just love a good startup story, this episode is packed with heart, humor, and caffeine.
