This week on the Outdoor Journal Radio Podcast Network's Diaries of a Lodge Owner, we get a great view of corporate America through the eyes of someone who worked there all his life. His roots run deep and his qualities as an honest human being are what led him to outstanding successes and truly impacting the lives of thousands of people worldwide.

He started as an engineer for the company Whirlpool. And over 40 years later, ended his fantastic journey as CEO of Cooper Tires. And when at Cooper Tires, with his leadership and knowledge, took a depressed company and inspired everyone involved to save it. And now it is my honor to introduce to all of you, my good friend, fishing buddy, and massively successful corporate mogul, Roy Armes. 

On this show, we get a rare look into the life of a man whose corporate success extends into the stratosphere, how he did it, and the delicate balance between work and family.  We talk about how our paths crossed, and tell some great fishing stories along the way.
