I often hear men and women who love the outdoors talk about the struggle of starting their own business and balancing life and family. In this episode of the Soul Summit Podcast, I sit down with Jake Seigal and John Eastburn from Preying Man Apparel who echo that truth.
I’ve personally known these two fellas for over 7 years and I can tell you, they are salt of the earth kind of dudes. Not to mention, we share so many commonalities including our love for the outdoors.
Listen in as we chat about building a business in the outdoor industry, how to make public changes to a business while taking your client or customers through the journey, and of course, we catch up on the 2022 hunting season!
Having grown up hunting blacktail, John and Jake dish out their favorite archery blacktail hunting tactics, near misses, and late season archery struggles.
