This is @Work with Dr. Elizabeth Teagarden. For over a decade, Dr. Teagarden has worked with small to medium enterprises to create more drama free workplaces. Here on the @Work podcast, she speaks with presidents, owners and executives of companies about their unique workforce ecosystems and how they create great places to work.
Growing up in scouting and passionate about the outdoors as a college student, Bill Bartee has led a company focused on promoting the value of an outdoor lifestyle for over 40 years. In 1994, with the help of his father, Bill purchased Jesse Brown’s Outdoors. Four decades later, Jesse Brown’s Outdoors thrives as a small retailer because it has built a loyal tribe of customers who find community with fellowship ventures through the store and Bartee’s unique approach to leadership of his workforce has been instrumental to the creation of this loyal adventuring community of customers from a multi-state retail chain with multiple locations to a single flagship store that produces events such as the beloved Storyteller Nights and the Fly Fishing Film Festival to a long standing AM radio show that is now a podcast. Marty has crafted a uniquely successful business that has stood the test of time. Bill is our guest today on the @Work Podcast. Bill Bartee, welcome to the @Work podcast.
