Summary

Ever wonder what things looked like at Vortex back in 2002 or maybe what some of the biggest hits and misses have been over the years when it comes to product? Mark and Jimmy join Paul Neess, frequent guest to the podcast and Vortex employee since darn near day one, and Joe Hamilton, new guest and one of the very first members of our sales team. We chat business and marketing from the perspective of an emerging small family business and what the relationship between product development and those pesky sales guys is really like. You'll hear some of our most notorious screw-ups as well as some of the biggest bright spots that ultimately led to the Vortex you know today. With only an "About You" section to read on our website and little information about our history elsewhere, many of you have asked for an episode just like this. In the end, the reason we're still around to this day and able to have this conversation is thanks to you, Vortex Nation, so the biggest shoutout and thanks goes to you! As always - let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation podcast by asking us on any one of our social media platforms and using #VortexNationPodcast.

0:42.0	Joe Hamilton and we were kind of giving him crap because actually if you really knew all of them, you would probably assume that Joe would have been the first to be a guest on the podcast and probably even I
0:56.2	wouldn't be the host of the podcast you'd assume Joe would be the host. This is
0:59.6	true perhaps the most gregarious has been the most mysterious thus far.
1:06.0	You know what? Maybe we've been wrong about the international amendment of mystery all along and it's just been him.
1:11.0	I'm with you. I think you're right. Here I am.
1:14.7	First words on the podcast. The good news, Jim. We've got him now. He is in the hot seat.
1:22.1	True, true. And this is a the hot seat. True, true.

1:26.0	because we're going to be talking about some stuff
1:29.0	that a lot of people have asked us about in the past.
1:31.0	You know, we've been putting out a number of podcasts on, you know, maybe
1:34.6	it's semi-live, how to do something or some information on, you know, a product or an activity
1:40.1	or just talking about hunting, shooting, etc.
1:43.0	But a lot of people want to know kind of peeling back the curtain of some of the stuff that's happened at
