Matt sits down with SylvanSport founder Tom Dempsey. SylvanSport makes camping gear designed to make your time spent outdoors way more enjoyable.  Their SylvanSport Go, the crown jewel of their products, is a redesign of a pop-up camper from the perspective of a kayaker, skier, mountain biker. Tom dreamed and built it from the ground up himself, with the goal to develop a product that could transport gear and be towed for any vehicle. What makes this so interesting is that he hated trailers. This gave him the foresight to build something that anyone can get behind. Tom’s knack for product design has helped him create a company that is pushing boundaries from a technology standpoint but, it’s his passion for the outdoors that keeps him pushing forward and more importantly creating a company that can be a force of good for the outdoor industry. In this episode of ReddyYeti | Built On Passion Tom Dempsey shares his perspective on building a company that is extremely product-driven, how he stays hungry to keep creating, and the importance of community and the people SylvanSport serves.
