What do you get when you mix adventure, leather, legacy, and a black lab named Blue? You get today's incredible guest: Dave Munson, founder and CEO of Saddleback Leather Co. Dave's story is as rugged and wild as the bags his company is known for. It all started with a single sketch in a Mexican leather shop and has grown into a globally recognized brand with customers who are passionate about quality, story, and craftsmanship.

In this episode, we dive deep into Dave's journey - from burning out as a youth pastor to selling handmade bags off the back of his Land Cruiser… to now leading a team that's building literal walls out of leather in rural Texas. (Listen in to hear why!) Along the way, Dave shares powerful insights about faith, failure, perseverance, and what it means to truly build a legacy.

If you've ever wondered how to turn an unconventional dream into a meaningful business… or how to hold fast to your values while the world says "cut corners"... this episode is for you.
