This week on Tracks & Tackle, we’re thrilled to bring on a special guest who’s no stranger to the outdoors and the world of podcasting—Mike Beacham, host of the Mountain and Marsh Podcast. Mike wears many hats; he’s the owner of two successful small businesses, Junk Clear and Sale Ready Solutions. But beyond the hustle, Mike is deeply passionate about the outdoors, a passion that resonates with everything we stand for at Tracks & Tackle.

Mike comes highly recommended from our friends over at the 3B Outdoors club, and let me tell you, that recommendation didn’t disappoint. Mike was a tremendous source of input and guidance for us when we were just getting started with Tracks & Tackle, and it’s an absolute pleasure to have him on the show today. We’re going to dive deep into some great conversations about hunting, podcasting, and everything in between. So, sit back, relax, and join us as we connect with Mike Beacham—a true outdoorsman and a fantastic contributor to the community.
