After transitioning from high school teaching to full-time fly fishing industry work, Spencer brings unique insights into authentic audience engagement and trust-building strategies.

What You'll Learn: Business and Community Building Strategies

Spencer shares practical insights on building customer loyalty through educational content rather than competing solely on price.

The discussion covers effective gear reviewing strategies that maintain honesty while building industry relationships.

Digital Marketing Insights: Beyond Traditional Metrics

AI and Content Creation: Navigating the Future
