The Outdoor Evolution Podcast
Nic "Darwin" Rakestraw is joined by rotating co-hosts on a podcast that seeks to go beyond the usual conversations in the outdoor community. As more people turn to hiking, cycling, van-life and the outdoors - making use of public lands and Mother Nature - the questions we ask ourselves as a community need to move beyond the surface level. The Outdoor Evolution Podcast is all about the current, difficult and important discussions in the outdoor community.

In this episode, Darwin sits down with the owner of UGQ, Chad Houghton, to discuss the Pros and Cons of owning and operating a small cottage outdoor gear company. Why is it more expensive? How do you compete with "big box" brands? Why make things domestically VS overseas? Where does "real" value come from when you choose who to buy from? Is it worth it?
