Podcast Episode #12 with Al Perkinson of Bajio!
Are you in need of some new or better Sunglasses with all the latest technology for Flats Fishing or most Outdoor activities? Confused about some of the features and marketing aspects of the various brands?
Well, just in time to help you get the best ROI (Return on Investment) for one of the most important items needed for Flats Fishing (Sunglasses) Flats Nation was honored to get to spend a few hours chatting with Al Perkinson who is the Founder and CEO of Bajio Sunglasses. This is as we pulled another one of our popular and educational product deep dives (so much so you are going to need to spend time in the decompression tank after this one) to help you make the best choice for your Fishing and other needs!
Al Perkinson has been an executive in the outdoor industry for the past 20 years. He is a brand builder and growth agent who believes that social responsibility and great storytelling are keys to building beloved brands.
BajÃo Sunglasses if you are unfamiliar with the name since they were launched just 15 months ago. Is based in New Smyrna Beach, Florida where it designs and builds performance sunglasses for anglers and other water enthusiasts.
Bajio is a privately held company with a mission to operate sustainably and contribute to addressing environmental issues faced by the world’s oceans.
Al is an avid fly fisherman, so he understands the visual needs of anglers who stalk fish and covers this in a brief video below:
As well is a very forward-thinking conservationist as we discussed his idea and concept of Indifly, a foundation he created to help strengthen indigenous communities through fly fishing! He is also a board member of Trout Unlimited and Bonefish & Tarpon Trust.
