The Journey to Build an Outdoor Business Centered on Fly Fishing and Mindfulness

“There’s a fine line between being really thoughtful and methodical and taking your time. And then there’s this point where it’s like, okay, it’s time to send it. It’s time to start moving. It’s time to start going. It’s never necessarily going to be perfect, and that’s okay. You just need to keep putting one foot in front of the other.” - Lindsay Kocka
