Guest's Opening Quote:

"If you had told me to pick up the phone and call the editor of **Outdoor Life** I\u2019d have thought, are you crazy, you can\u2019t just do that. Well of course you can, you can pick up the phone, you can write an email and reach out to folks. They are, in my experience as a magazine editor and now the editor of a website, they're looking for content."
