Welcome to the Jay Scott Outdoors podcast.

Today we have Mr. Optics Authority himself,

Cody Nelson from the outdoorsman.

Cody, how you doing?

I'm doing pretty good, Jay.

Thanks for having me on today. It's been a while. We've been we've been busy.

Yeah, it's good. You know the last time I saw you was at probably Western Hunting Expo at the show and then I've been traveling and

been in Colorado and what what not but looks like you guys were slammed at the

at the Western Hunting Expo.

Yeah, the shows never cease to amaze me on the amount of people and the attention and just, I guess, the excitement and, you know, the, it's just, it's always fun to go and meet our customers and you know meet

new customers and and it's I mean it's the energy is always uh... it's actually

in humbling in ways and

because you you know you get in your little bubble when you're at the shop all the time

and then you get out

and you realize holy cow there's a lot of other people out here.

It's just that there's always a lot going on so it's a fun experience for sure.

Cody as a business owner when you look at your show schedule I know you do like Dallas

SCI you do S. D.I. You do the sheep show you can add in others if I forget them a

Western Hunting Expo. each one of those shows

Yep go ahead. Yeah, I was gonna tell you we don't do Dallas and not because that Dallas is just a really long show for us to get to and so we've been doing

the sheep show in Reno, we've been doing the SEI in Las Vegas and then we do the Salt Lake City show of you know for Western

Hunter.
