  • Great stuff from a great guy

    Pretty telling that every negative comment is politically charged drivel by someone who appears to be borderline illiterate. Good sign that Matt is doing the right thing, and pissing off the right people.

Episode 201. Jon Lavezzo
Q: What motivates your philanthropic efforts and how do they tie to your craft?

Episode 201. Jon Lavezzo
Q: Why move away from factory production and what led to Tidewater Outdoors?

Episode 201. Jon Lavezzo
Q: Tell us about your background and how Moonshine Rods started.
Jon explains getting into fly-rod building around 2000, launching Moonshine Rods around 2012-2013, disrupting the prestige-focused market, and choosing to focus on community and accessibility rather than chasing high-end branding.
Episode 185. Emory Wanger
Q: What are your thoughts on the role of different groups at the table when decisions about wildlife and hunting happen?
There's a need for diverse voices beyond just hunters—birders, conservationists, and local communities should have seats at the table. The focus should be on system-wide conservation outcomes rather than the prerogative of a single group.
Episode 185. Emory Wanger
Q: You had an orientation to hunting, and it changed; can you tell us how that shift happened and what you learned from it?
I started with a romantic view of hunting, met people in hunting entertainment, but saw how sponsorship and branding could shape experiences. Over time I recalibrated my relationship to hunting, aiming for authenticity and personal growth rather than chasing status or brand alignment.
