Manage episode 406489941 series 3556776
I found myself caught up in a whirlwind of nostalgia and inspiration when Will and Broke Fagan of Ricochet Outdoors took a seat at the microphone. Their story is one of transformation—from Will's first encounter with a mud boat at River Trail to a life-altering tornado and a career shift that led him to the heart of the boat business. Our conversation is seasoned with laughter, duck hunting tales, and fond memories of Jim Stancil's inventive boat modifications, painting a vivid picture of the personal and professional journey that defines the essence of true entrepreneurship.
Ever wondered what it's like to juggle family life with the relentless pursuit of the American dream? Will and I crack open the reality of entrepreneurship, not shying away from the gritty challenges and the rollercoaster of highs and lows that come with it. We delve into the tough decisions that prioritize family over finances, the leap into the world of performance duck boats, and the significance of having a supportive partner in both business and life. This episode is a tribute to the camaraderie that buoys us through the storms, the community spirit that shines brightest in times of need, and the lessons in resilience and honesty we pass on to our children.
As we cap off this episode, tales of community generosity, a business triumph in Conway, and the quirks of office life bring us home—reminding us that it's the shared experiences of adversity and success that weave the strongest bonds. We swap hunting stories, relive the joys of Rambo bikes, and take a peek into the future of Ricochet Marine. Join us for an adventure through the eyes of family, friendship, and a love for the great outdoors, where every challenge is met with grit and every success is celebrated with the people who matter most.
