From Passion to Profession: Crafting Success with Custom Duck Calls - A Conversation with Josh Raggio

Episode #002 The journey into the outdoor industry has afforded me many life-changing friendships. One of those friends is the talented Josh Raggio of Raggio Custom Calls. In this episode, Josh and I cover everything from shallow social media shade to the depths of balancing running a business with raising children. Josh Raggio has created a timeless brand with his custom duck calls. He explains where the beauty of each call comes from, which may be as surprising to you as it is to him! He and I also walk through the journey from our prior jobs to working within the outdoor space. Josh is as genuine of a guy as you’ll find, and this becomes increasingly apparent through both his duck call brand and his Raggio Mercantile shop in Raymond, MS. I hope that our conversation sheds a little light on some of the more important aspects of work-life balance as well as the things that make this journey beautiful, whether that’s ducks dropping to the sound of a call you’ve created or a crazy retrieve made by a dog you’ve trained.
