We get a view on the Orvis brand from the guy who ran the company for over 20 years and elevated in from an 80 million dollar company to almost 300 million. We also find out about the 50/50 movement and the evolution of awareness.
We talk about the similarities between Orvis and Patagonia and where they have been with Conservation. We dig into a little on Perk's year long sabbatical to fish for bonefish for over a year.
