Meet the Guest
Collin Strachan
I'm Collin, and I run Alaska Production Company with my wife Kendal from a 33-foot Airstream while living off-grid in Alaska with our kids. We've generated over $100M in revenue for brands like DUDE Wipes, Solo Stove, and Ridge Wallet by creating viral ads in extreme Alaska locations. I also run "Become Unforgettable," a LinkedIn coaching community where I teach creators and founders how to use storytelling to grow their presence and generate real revenue.
Show Notes
Most people build careers by default, not by design. Collin Strachan chose differently — he left corporate, hit the road, and started a production company that’s worked with brands like Dude Wipes and Ridge Wallet.
In this episode, you’ll learn how he stopped pitching and instead used LinkedIn to create inbound opportunities, why they refuse to negotiate price with clients, and the real tradeoffs of mixing work and play.
