À propos de cet audio
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.

"Orvis succeeds because Mr. Perkins sells the lifestyle that he and his wife, Romi, lead." (The Wall Street Journal)
