Episode Guests
Zoe and Rich started Defiance Tools to break away from the norm and to forge their own path.
They believe in working hard while having fun doing it. They began their business as an online store but quickly learned they could also travel the country selling their product and exploring the diverse landscapes and cultures of the United States.
Their gear is small, compact, unique, and is perfect for vanlifers, overlanders, RV'ers, and anyone enjoying life in a small space.
Through their journey with Defiance Tools, Zoe and Rich not only sell products but also share their passion for adventure, encouraging a community of like-minded individuals to live more freely and explore more boldly.
