Description

In this episode of The Big Yarn Podcast, we're sitting down with the founder of Screw U Poles to talk about his incredible journey from being a ski bum living in a van to a purpose-driven entrepreneur.

We dive into the origin story of his nickname "Shovel Gunzy," the old-school rivalry between skiers and snowboarders that sparked a unique product idea, and the philosophy behind building a brand that's all about inspiring people to live life to the fullest. This conversation is packed with stories about embracing challenges, the importance of community, and how to build confidence by achieving small, consistent goals.
