EP 553: What I learned from Jason Hairston and Jonathan Hart – David Brinker

by

David Brinker went from growing up in the middle of nowhere more worried about chewing Kodiak and drinking beer than what the big plan was. That was until he happened to meet a guy named Jason Hairston.

“I remember him telling me, we are gonna take over the world, and I was like holy crap this guy is serious – David Brinker

Brinker went from being a nobody heading up the marketing department of Sitka hunting clothing. In this podcast we talk about what he learned from two of the most successful business owners in the outdoor industry. We also talk about chasing your own dreams and how he woke up one day and realized he had to leave that cushy job title he had.

Brinker has since been more true to himself and accomplished a huge chunk of his 10 year goals in less than 5 years. We talk about making that leap and more.

It is e-scouting season if you are a serious hunter now is the time to start scheming and planning for 2022. Getting a tag is the name of the game and before you ever apply you should be looking over that unit in onX to see what it looks like. If you can see any pockets where you might find that future wall hanger. On X is my go-to map for e-scouting and now with your elite membership you get access to not only all 50 states but you also get access to Top-rut draw odds and Huntin Fools e-mag  to help you find that tag that other people aren’t seeing. Upgrade your on X membership to Elite and get the whole e-scouting package.
