Insights from a businessman who achieved the ultimate accomplishment— transforming his personal enthusiasm into a wildly successful company.
Imagine if you could live a life in which there were no boundaries between work and play, if you could blend the job you love— running a company that is committed to excellence— with the outdoor pastimes that are your greatest passions. This is the life that Leigh Perkins lived. In 1965, Perkins bought Orvis, a modest mail order company, and over the next thirty years he revolutionized the catalog industry, successfully combining his love for the outdoors with his business acumen. A Sportsman's Life is the story of a man, his company, and his love of the outdoors, his commitment to conservation, and his infectious enthusiasm for the good life. This memoir is a great listen for any angler or hunter— and even for those of us who just want to dress like one.
