Host Brent T. Wheat is joined by Roy Huntington for a no-holds-barred discussion on one of the industry's most pressing issues: the slow decline of great gun companies.

📌 Topics Covered:

• Why hiring non-shooters into leadership roles often fails

• How generational hand-offs can kill a company's identity
