Episode 1: A Conversation with TCX Boots USA

It's here!!

My first interview / conversation with my friend Michael "Tex" Mawby, Director of Sales & Marketing for TCX Boots USA. We cover their infamous riding sneaker, CE Certifications and not boot related but why do I have old leather jackets in my closet?

You should also find me in the iTunes Store as soon as this episode is uploaded. 

(Apologies for the first 10 minutes of audio, and Tex's audio since I called him on his cell phone. I also had to cut out some of my feedback to his remarks in the first 10 minutes because my audio was just so low. I hope you enjoy our convo!)

This episode was NOT sponsored or paid for by TCX Boots or anyone else for that matter. All podcasts (past and present) are totally and fully funded by my own spare time.
