As an outfitter, how do you know that the guide you are hiring is competent. As a guide, how can you know that the outfitter who wants to hire you  operates a reputable business? In this episode of Fin and Fire with Jeff Mishler, I sit with Austin Bridges of Guidesource Outdoors and we discuss their business plan to ensure that Guides, Outfitters and the public hiring their services have the best experience possible.  Think Indeed for the outdoor industry. Along the way, we tell some pretty funny hunting stories as well.

About Jeff Mishler

Jeff Mishler is a fifth generation Oregonian who's life work is hard to quantify. Father, writer, photographer, television commercial director, environmentalist, video producer/distributor, website manager, hunter, angler and lifelong recreationist who lives a fly-by-the-seat-of-yourpants mantra. If he’s not in his office writing another essay or developing a show concept, he’s chasing mallards and pheasants with his lab Hailey, running his jet sled up a local river to a sweet steelhead run, setting up on a screaming bull elk with bow in hand or conspiring with his small circle of equally affected steelhead bums while downing healthy portions of really good Oregon beer.
