Show Notes: wetflyswing.com/122
I connected with Rick Saez to talk about the Outdoor Biz Podcast and some tips to help you find out more about building a business in the outdoor space. Rick is helping outdoor adventure businesses get into podcasting through his online courses.
We hear about how Rick started at the bottom and worked his way up through the business via multiple companies along the way. Tons of shoutouts to companies and people in the outdoor and fly fishing industries. It was a fun chat to BS about the outdoors with Rick.
