Life is funny. In 2016, my wife and I were at on vacation and met Sherry. After telling her about , she sent an email intro to a guy named Jeff Lee and Josh Murphy who were both involved with shooting a commercial with Yvon Chouinard and because of the 1% FTP and fly fishing connection.

Fast forward to 2019, and my wife and I are on vacation in Jackson Hole, WY and there happened to be a film screening and Q&A for the film, ARTIFISHAL, with Yvon Chouinard and (pictured here with Yvon), so we went and I was thrilled to meet Yvon, but the crazy part is that on our flight home to Charleston via Denver, Josh sat next to Jodie and I and we ended up chatting about the film and exchanged emails.

Now, fast forward to 2025 and I had heard about Josh’s new nonprofit so I reached out to see if he’d be open to an interview for the podcast, and then we make another connection as he is working on a project with who has been a guest on the show talking about the amazing work and are doing in the packaging world!

Anyways, long story short, life is funny, and I am thrilled to release my interview with Bones this Friday because he is an amazing person, storyteller and filmmaker and I can’t wait to share it with y’all!

Stay tuned!

If you’re a brand trying to sell into retailers like REI, Dick’s Sporting Goods, West Marine, or Walmart— or just trying to stay compliant and avoid greenwashing lawsuits — this one’s for you.

🔍 What we cover:
✅ Why PFAS is the new plastic

This is your quick-start guide to the most important sustainability regulations shaping 2025 and beyond.

The Sustainable Angler Podcast

Welcome to The Sustainable Angler podcast! My name is Rick Crawford and I am the President of the sustainability consultancy Emerger Strategies, and the creator & host of The Sustainable Angler podcast.

We are an award-winning podcast (Grand Prize Winner of the 2018 Outdoor Writers Association of America Climate Media Challenge) whose intent is to educate and create more awareness about environmental threats to our fisheries, such as: Population, Policy and Pollution, or what I call the "3 P's." For example, Population is a threat to fisheries due to overfishing. Policy is a threat to our fisheries through poor fisheries management, climate change and public lands policy. The final "P" is Pollution, and the obvious threat is plastic pollution, but the greatest threat our fisheries face today is pollution in the form of greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.

Join me as I interview the biggest names and companies in fishing to chat about sustainability education, sharing inspirational stories and what you can do to take actionable steps to protect what you love!
