Charlie Mann’s dad started Hunter Creek Club in 1958, when Charlie was a small boy. By the age of 26, Charlie owned it… He's the first to admit he had no business being the owner of a company that size at that age. But still, he figured it out. Until everything changed. 2008 hit and 85% of his business was automotive. General Motors banned corporate entertainment. Print media dried up. And the story of how he bounced back is incredible. In our episode, we covered: → Why the shortage of volunteers in hunter safety classes is a big threat to the future of hunting → What it means to be the caretaker of something, not just the owner → How pharmaceutical reps accidentally saved the club during a Detroit crisis → The difference between managing a team and keeping their mojo intact → What Charlie learned from The General (his dad) about pessimistic optimism Charlie, thank you for letting me come out to Hunter Creek and for being as generous with your stories as you were with your time!
