🌿 Wild Beginnings — and We're Just Getting Started.
Every dream needs someone who believes in it first.
For us, that was Bob and Donna Petersen of Petersen Plumbing & Heating an 80-year family business that has been with The Heart of the Story and That's Wild with Gary Metivier since day one. Their belief in the power of authentic storytelling gave us the foundation to pursue this dream of independent media. We are forever grateful for their continued support under the next generation of Paul and Curtis and now Carter too.
QCA Pools & Spas and Morrison Community Hospital have also been among our founding friends and partners and have grown right along with us.
Now, with more than 62,000 subscribers and over 3 million views across our platforms, something is growing — and it's bigger than one series.
Metivier Media is a storytelling ecosystem.
From the extraordinary wildlife moments of That's Wild with Gary Metivier — to the veterans, everyday heroes, and heartland voices of The Heart of the Story, including our fast-growing American Drive playlist featuring those driven to use their talents to make our world a better place — we tell the stories that connect people to what matters.
Different audiences. Different missions. One standard of excellence.
We are now in conversations with regional and national partners whose goals align with ours — brands that understand authentic storytelling isn't just content. It's trust, built one story at a time.
And this week, we take the next step.
Wild Beginnings — our wildlife documentary series — launches later this week. Rare. Intimate. Extraordinary. From rare baby moose twins to pelican chicks exploring their new world--- This is the perfect place for a new partnership to begin teamed with our founding members. There is room for all of us to explore this wild world!
Wait until you see what we have been working on. Want to take a walk on the wild side with us?
Let's Go!
Gary (and team)
