I’ve got an incredible guest today. His name is Lucas Botkin and he is the founder of T. Rex Arms, a firearm accessory manufacturing company. But this conversation took an early turn away from firearms and more into how to build a thriving business using the power of social media.
But don’t worry, we still talk about firearms stuff – night vision, optics, body armor, training, etc. But even if you’re not into firearms, we have some topics for you including the power of money, how to manage people correctly, human psychology, making a stand for something, building customer relationships, and how to build a firearms (or any other type) of empire.
“Money is something that should not be seen as a bad thing.” Tweet That— Lucas Botkin
Lucas Botkin
My guest today is Lucas Botkin, the founder of T. Rex Arms.
He started his business making and selling Kydex holsters and has since grown his business to over 80 employees. He reaches over 2,000,000 people through his social media channels and has an incredible marketing and business mind. You’re going to hear a lot of that in this conversation.
I’ve been following for years because of his proficiency with firearms and what I’ve learned but this conversation goes so much deeper than that. Enjoy.
“We don’t treat our social media like a sales platform.” Tweet That— Lucas Botkin
