HOP #22: How to be authentic and bounce back from a near death experience with April Vokey

November 29, 2015

How to be authentic and bounce back from a near death experience with April Vokey, founder of Flygal.ca, Podcast Host of Anchored, and TV Host of Shorelines.

It was a true honour to have April Vokey on the show this week. Even trying to write this introduction, I struggle to put into words what the conversation was like. This episode was a bit off script from the typical format, and I couldn't be happier.

In this episode of The Happiness of Pursuit Podcast, we talk about what life is really like behind the scenes of an industry icon, and how she got her start as an entrepreneur launching her own fishing guide business in British Columbia, Canada at the age of 24. What amazed me about April's mindset, was how she bounced back from a near-death car accident, sold her personal belongings, and was tying flies while she recovered to get back on the water and resume her growing business. That is what a true entrepreneur would do - hustle your way back to the top.

What you will learn in this episode of The Happiness of Pursuit Podcast:
- How to face adversity and win
- What it takes to become entrepreneur in any industry
- How to embrace your passion and create a business you love
- The price of fame and how to cope
- The importance of authenticity
- How to cut through the clutter and "go find new water"
