Show Notes: wetflyswing.com/258

David Brands from Coast Portland is on the podcast to share how he created one of the first LED Headlamps and led the way in knife technology.

Coast Portland has continuously evolved and become a solution to a problem. For 102 years, the company has been passed on from generation to generation, starting from David’s grandfather who created their first product in the early 1900s. Now Coastal Portland is still at the top of the multitool brands and plans on another generation of innovation and solutions.

Quotes from David Brands: 

“If there’s something that you can identify that you think you could do better or build something that did something better – go for it”

“In this day of age, it’s easier than ever to develop a product and sell it because of the internet where 20 years ago, you were at the mercy of big companies like Walmart, Cabelas, you name it. But now, if you have a good idea and you can build it, you can market it yourself.”

“Find a solution to a problem that needs a solution and develop a product to do it better”David Brands was on the podcast and shared the Coast Knives story and family background of creating the longest-running knife company in the fishing space.
