EP 512: Tyson Olson, Frameworks for Life, Business, and Hunting

by

Tyson is no stranger to the podcast and for good reason. Tyson would never admit this but he is very successful and in a lot of ways that is because he is a student. He is constantly learning and asking questions. If there is one thing I have learned about Tyson over the years it is that if he doesn’t know something he is 100% not scared to call whoever he has to to find the answer.

In this podcast we dive into the app that Tyson has been working on for the last couple years Ultimate Hunting and Fishing League, and what it takes to constantly pivot a startup over and over. So many of these concepts are applicable to not just business but life and to hunting as well. We also talk about the huge giveaway Tyson is doing where he is giving an all inclusive hunt to a ranch in Texas to a wounded veteran. Tyson’s only ask was that if you know someone who should be nominated for this hunt package sign them up here.

This podcast brought to you by the awesome folks at Maven Built Optics. Maven is such a cool company and a great group of people. I also love that they are a small Wyoming company making big waves. Maven is a direct to consumer optics company which means they don’t have huge mark ups. One of the most common questions you guys the listeners ask me is to compare mavens to something at an equal price point. I can’t say it enough Maven blows everything in a similar price point out of the water. Stop comparing products based on price. This is why I say Maven is the best bang for your buck by far and away, it’s not even close. Good glass is a must have. From their rifle scopes to binoculars, and spotters I highly recommend their optics. They also have a custom optics builder which is really cool. You can jump on their website MavenBuilt.com and design your optics with custom patterns or custom colors the options are pretty endless. Check them out at Mavenbuilt.com and use the “TRO” code to get a special bonus gift with your purchase.
