The Average Conservationist

Episode 139 with

This week on The Average Conservationist Podcast, Marcus sits down with the owner of 2% Certified brand Dangles Gear, James "Fort" Fortner. The guys start their conversation by going back to the beginning, of where it all started for James. Growing up in an outdoor family, being outside and in nature was all James ever knew. Whether shooting archery as a kid, hiking in to fish high country lakes or chasing big game, James and his family cherish the outdoors. In order to do his part to help preserve our wild places, James started Dangles Gear to help fund those who make it their life's mission to give back. Dangles Gear sunglass leashes use 100% recycled materials on all of their products to help further their conservation mission.

On this holiday week, I’m joined by Tristan Henry. Tristan is the owner of 2% Certified NXTLVL Digital Marketing out of Oregon. We kick things off talking about how much both Michigan and Oregon have in common and how Tristan got started in the outdoors. Tristan talks about his healthy obsession for bird hunting and the connection bird hunters have with their dogs. We talk about how Tristan found himself working in the marketing space, and why he likes working with the clients that he does. This is a great conversation to enjoy while traveling over the holiday weekend and get you geared up for bird hunting. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
