If you're not familiar with the history and story of Altra Running, then grab yourself a drink and kick back. Brian Beckstead, Co-Founder of Altra Running joins the podcast to talk about how Altra started and how it has become a giant in the footwear industry today. Brian and I have known each other for many years, and enjoyed a short trip down memory lane in this episode. We talk about his background, and his passion for fly fishing as well. Huge thank you to Brian for coming onto the podcast to share his story and the story of Altra!
