Business Roundtable: Shop Survival 101 with Jason Borgstede

Business Roundtable: Shop Survival 101 with Jason Borgstede   Show Notes   Welcome to The Business Roundtable.   A special series brought to you by The Snowboard Project where we sit down with industry players to discuss the machine that runs snowboarding.    Today’s Episode: Shop Survival 101 with Jason Borgstede.    We met up with Borgstede at his snowboard shop, Blue and Gold, in Anchorage Alaska and asked him how he has managed to run a successful snowboard shop for the last five years.   What do independent shops mean to the culture of snowboarding?    Does the economic machine of snowboarding even care about the small shop anymore?   Why did shops come to die in the first place?   How does Jason manage to compete with internet retailers and chain stores... and can core values alone drive business success.   This is an episode everyone can learn from, whether you run a small business yourself, or you’re just curious about what goes on behind the scenes of the snowboard industry.   Stay tuned for part two of our conversation with Jason and thank you for listening to our special series Business Roundtable.   Produced by: Mark Sullivan Dustin H James   Business Development:  Dustin H James  [email protected] Subscribe to us on YouTube for video content {including Real Talk} www.youtube.com/c/thesnowboardproject   Please support The Snowboard Project: www.patreon.com/thesnowboardproject   Cardiff Snowcraft  @cardiffsnow www.cardiffsnow.com Coupon Code: “THESNOWBOARDPROJECT15” {15% off at their website)  Never Summer http://www.neversummer.com TOWPRO LIFTS http://towpro-lifts.com   United Shapes http://unitedshapes.us
