The Story Behind Bogey’s Barn

About this episode

In this episode, I sit down with Carter Huff, an Army veteran and the man behind Bogey’s Barn. Carter invited me up to his place to record this conversation inside the pole barn he is turning into a home gym, training space, and brand named after his basset hound, Bogey.

Bogey of course was a big contributor to this candid discussion. Check out the video version to see him.
