249: How to Become Mentally "All in" as a Solopreneur
“Eventually, I got my driver’s license. And that was it. For me, I was gone. I was skipping school and fishing as many days as I could get away with.”

April’s Anchored Podcast
Summary
April Vokey can’t help but look at life differently. From a very early age, April loved fishing and hunting. She’s decided to shun quote-unquote more traditional work and instead start a business where she would be “all in” as a fly fishing guide, provide instructional courses, write, be a keynote speaker, and host a podcast on all things related to her interests while being a wife and mother came.
Her decision came with the expected challenges, but as a female in a male-dominated industry, she faced some challenges that men doing the same work would never have to face.
April is also passionate about the environment and conservation, especially now that she is raising her daughter to be a steward of the Earth.
