Episode #296 Football, Faith & Building Slayer Duck Calls | Bill Ayer

Episode Description from the Publisher

Bill Ayer, owner and founder of Slayer Duck Calls, joins me for a conversation that goes far beyond duck calls. Bill shares his story of playing Division I football at Cal, chasing the dream of making it to the NFL, building a successful career in the business world, and eventually taking the leap to turn his passion for making duck calls into Slayer Duck Calls. We also get into elk hunting, the obsessive curiosity that led Bill to start building and experimenting with calls, the story behind Slayer, and how his faith in Christ has shaped his life and the company he’s building. This ended up being one of my favorite conversations in a long time. It’s about hunting and duck calls, but it’s also about faith, purpose, identity, and finding what you were meant to do. Here’s a clean block you can put at the bottom of the episode description. I have your codes for four of the partners; I don’t have a confirmed discount code for Retay or Slayer, so I would not invent one.
