fishing sponsorship

This week my friend Dena Vick joins me to talk about what to do when things go wrong.

Dena is a Public Relations executive who owns an agency called King Eider Communications and works with some of the top fishing brands in the country on their Public Relations.

We talk about quite a few things today such as:

- What to do when you've publicly made a mistake
- Why we might want to avoid talking about politics
- How to decide whether you should post something that might be considered a rant
- How to handle a situation when you've done well in a tournament but weren't using your sponsors products
- How to gain confidence with speaking to the media
- What to do if you misspeak on stage
- How to make up for not mentioning someone important in an interview
- How to handle sponsor mentions so that you're not reading a laundry list of brands

This conversation is full of really helpful, actionable advice from someone who gets paid to work with brands for this same insight.  Listen to this with an eye to the future in case you ever find yourself in a situation where things have gone wrong and you're just not sure what to do.

I bet we all like to think we have a good plan laid out for the next 10, 20, or even 30 years or more.  But sometimes things change.  Happy, successful people know how to adjust their sails and ride the tide of changes.

Our guest today is one of those people.  Sean Lawless is a career firefighter in Tulsa, OK who was living in this dream home with his wife after having successfully raised their kids.  They both thought they would spend their next years working in Tulsa and then retire there.

But a trip to Florida changed all that. Sean and his wife realized they wouldn't really be truly happy unless they lied by the coast.  Sean fell in love with fishing and started thinking about how he could earn income in retirement and still spend time on the water.

What happened the next 5 years is a story that might inspire you. Sean figured out how to start a Youtube channel on saltwater fishing while living in the heartland in landlocked Oklahoma.  The Lawless Tide has led him to many new friendships and opportunities.  So much so that he is now planning to start a guide business in the Florida panhandle.

In fact by the time you listen to this, he may already be there.

This is a good story of American ingenuity, grit and determination. Just my kind of tale.
