## Resource

In this episode of the We Do This Too Outdoors Podcast, I sit down solo to talk about my journey to becoming a Retay USA ambassador and why this partnership means so much to me. While Retay is known for producing innovative, reliable shotguns, my decision to join the team went far beyond the products themselves. I share how Retay's commitment to family, integrity, hard work, and treating people the right way aligned perfectly with the values I've built my life and brand around. We dive into the relationships I've developed with the people behind the company, why culture matters when choosing who to represent, and what separates Retay from many other manufacturers in today's outdoor industry. I also break down Retay's current lineup, including the flagship ACE and ACE R platforms, discuss the technology and craftsmanship that make these shotguns unique, and explain why they've earned the attention of hunters and shooters across the country. Whether you're considering a new shotgun, curious about the Retay brand, or interested in what goes into choosing the right industry partnerships, this episode gives you an inside look at why I proudly wear the Retay USA logo.
