We’re back with Part 3 of our conversation with Rick Scheen of PECOS Outdoor, and it’s another deep dive into what it really takes to build something from nothing. In a time when a lot of companies are facing uncertainty, PECOS is staying true to its roots — Made in America, built to last, and proud of it. And the truth is, American-made gear is standing strong.
Chad and Rick talk through the real challenges of entrepreneurship; how overconfidence can sometimes push you forward, how goals evolve, and what it means to build your own market from the ground up.
In Chad’s words, Rick is the battery behind the whole operation. His mindset, his energy, his belief in the mission — that’s what keeps PECOS moving.
They also dive into the pressure of leadership, the weight of having people count on you, how to keep relationships strong through all the ups and downs, and of course, the gear — from the game-changing PECOS tables to the details that make their products stand out. Listen to hear the one item Chad says he flat-out can’t live without!
It’s an honest look at passion, pressure, and the kind of mindset that turns ideas into something real. Thanks for Listening!
