Nicole Qualtieri of Gear Junkie on Inclusivity, New Voices, and Our Changing Industry
Given the recent events in America, it’s time to address the issue of acceptance, inclusion, and openness within the hunting and angling industry.
We have to accept new talent and new voices in the hunting and angling industry if we’re ever going to accept and grow with new consumers and new audiences.
We already have a litany of rules and do’s and don’ts posted at every trailhead. So let’s not create any more when it comes to the outdoors.
Nicole Qualtieri of Gear Junkie is a new, strong, articulate, and well-spoken voice that brings a fresh perspective. Not only for her readers, but the industry at large. Her efforts to bring more women into the mix, foster more inclusivity and diversity, and open our industry’s aperture to see outside of our small bubble are nothing short of inspiring.
We’re honored to sit down with Nicole to hear more about her background, how she broke into the industry, and her thoughts on the current state of things.
