What does it take to become a fishing legend?
In this episode of the Growing Business Collective, Nash sits down with Ted Takasaki. A Professional Walleye Angler, National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Famer, and record holder for the heaviest five-fish tournament bag in history. But Ted's story isn’t just about fish; it’s about risk, relationships, reinvention, and resilience.
From walking away from a stable career at Hewlett-Packard to running one of the biggest names in fishing tackle (Lindy), Ted shares the business lessons that helped him double revenue, quadruple profit, and carve out a one-of-a-kind brand in a rapidly changing industry.
He also talks about:
* How he transitioned from sales to sponsorships
* The secret to 30 years of brand loyalty
* Why friends buy from friends (and how he lives that every day)
* The power of forward-facing sonar and what’s next for the fishing world
* What every aspiring angler, YouTuber, and business owner needs to know today
Whether you're a fisherman, entrepreneur, or someone chasing your calling, this is a masterclass in longevity and leadership.
