Summary
Have you ever just wanted to start your own brand of camping and backpacking gear? Yeah, me neither. Brian Conolly, however, thought he could make better products than what he was finding on store shelves and online trying to outfit his own adventures. I know many of you out there probably have an idea to improve an outdoor or adventure sport product but don't know where to start. Listen in Brian talks about his journey starting a gear company from scratch.
Enjoy!
