Would you rather run naked through an airport… or work on marketing your business?
Entrepreneurs often seem to have some sort of allergic reaction to marketing. They love to build solutions to problems. This is what they live for. But when it comes to getting the word out about what they’ve created… they’d rather retreat to their basement and build some more.
If this feels like you at all, this episode of Intrepid Entrepreneur is for you!
Maybe you feel that those who try to gain attention for the sake of monetary profit are selfish and greedy. Or you just don’t want to post updates of your nachos or your cat to your social feed (because you don’t love when other people do that). Either way, today’s episode will give you tips and tools to gain engaged fans and followers on your social channels
But where do you start? How do you attract attention in a way that’s genuine? How do you decide where to spend your valuable time? How do you make time in your busy schedule for marketing in the first place?
We'll cover all of that and more in today's episode.

Two decades ago, Oliver Steffen founded G3 (Genuine Guide Gear), an independent, design-savvy leader of hardgoods and accessories designed to enable people to enjoy the winter backcountry (read: untracked powder, sans lift). Oliver has lead G3 from a single product (an avalanche probe pole) built on a workbench outside of his basement apartment, into a global brand complete with a 20,000-square foot factory and warehouse in Vancouver. G3 is known for its no-compromise, design-savvy manufacturing of skis, bindings, accessories (including skins) for all things backcountry. Every G3 product has been put through the rigorous screen of one question: Is this something a Guide would want to use? This is nothing short of an amazing story! Please rate, review and share this podcast with anyone you know who LOVES “walking around the mountains” on the snow, as Oliver so deftly puts it!
