From Special Education teacher to CEO, Lloyd Vogel built Garage Grown Gear from the ground up—but what’s the real story? In this episode, we go beyond the business and get personal. Lloyd opens up about the exact moment that made him fall in love with the outdoors, how becoming a dad is reshaping his adventures, and the biggest behind-the-scenes disaster GGG has ever faced. Plus, he spills on the outdoor gear trend he thinks is total BS, the weirdest skill he’s had to learn as CEO, and what brands are getting wrong about the industry. No fluff, no PR answers—just raw, unfiltered dirtbag wisdom.
