Spearfactor #062: Jon Stenstrom, Turning a Passion into a Business

In this episode, we have Jon Stenstrom, a returning guest on the podcast, to talk a little bit about how he got started being an entrepreneur, and turning his passion into a business. He talks about his experiences, trying to grow his brand @castandspear in the Spearfishing/fishing industry, and some of the things he encountered and lessons he learned. We also discussed the culture of spear fishing in Southern California, and how it differs from the rest of the planet. Specifically, we talk about the unspoken rules within our own community of Southern California such as spot burning and the dos and don’ts to social media posts. This was a long episode but I hope you will find it interesting and insightful.
