Episode 116 is a fun one for us as we address a question we get asked often which is: "How do you get started with a gear business?"

Brian dives into some things to keep in mind when starting with your idea and moving into the phase of selling the product. We cover how to get honest feedback on your products, focusing on WHY you do what you do and putting the right people around you. We're by no means experts, but we want to share our experiences in hopes it helps others along the way.
