318 - Return 'Em Right, Complexities of Certifying a World Record Fish, and Leveraging Social Media with Nick Haddad


Listen Later

In this week's episode, Conrad had the pleasure of talking with Nick Haddad. Together, they delve into Nick's career journey and how it set him up to secure two dream jobs immediately after completing his master's program. The bulk of their discussion focuses on his experiences with the International Game Fish Association and his current role as the Sustainable Fisheries Communications Manager, where he oversees Return ‘Em Right at Florida Sea Grant. They discuss the advantages of leveraging social media to appeal to a wider audience and how being an adept fisherman can significantly enhance a fisheries scientist's credibility in the angling community. We hope you enjoy this insightful perspective!

Main point: Don't let your discomfort discourage you from new opportunities.
