In this episode of The SXS Guys Offroad Podcast, I talk with Lindsay Geiser of LG Creative Co who is the social media and marketing coordinator for some of the biggest names in UTV performance! We talk a little bit about her history as a Geiser family racer, how she got into social media, and what she's been up to with a number of these big brands.
