In this episode of the Dunk Talk Podcast, host Dylan Haugen and co-host Hunter Castona sit down with fellow Midwest dunker Nolan Larson for one of the most raw, in-depth conversations yet. The three dive into Nolan’s athletic roots, from mini-hoop battles in his childhood to his evolution as a high-flying Wisconsin dunker who captured attention with viral sessions and a show-stopping performance at Wisconsin Dunk Camp.Nolan shares the full arc of his journey — his early drive to jump higher, the moment he landed his first dunk, the grind that took him to elite-level sessions, and the injuries that tested his limits both physically and mentally. His story offers a rare look at the highs of peak performance and the harsh reality of dealing with long-term back injuries that ultimately changed his life.What follows is a conversation about creativity, identity, and resilience. Nolan opens up about rediscovering purpose through golf and music, the irreplaceable support of the dunking community, and the joy of helping others chase their first dunk. It’s one of the most powerful and heartfelt episodes of Dunk Talk yet — a reminder that even when your path changes, the passion to create never fades.Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dunk-talk-w-dylan-haugen/id1748327178Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4737NyBcPveHp3CAftdj5i?si=g7RCdo7RQ72kYjf0daGOggToday's Speakers:Dylan Haugen (Host) -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dylanhaugen23/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DylanHaugen23Website: https://dylan-haugen.com/Hunter Castona (Co-Host) - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hunter.dunks/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hunterdunksNolan Larson (Guest) - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nolanrlarson/
