    Jun 26 2025

    The Startup Story of how 3 bachelor's, about to head down the aisle, became business owners is an interesting one. Yeah, it almost sounds like a Judd Apatow movie. Join us for the premiere of the 2nd season of Plant Your Flag. In this episode, Mike Austin, a co-owner at Stag Pack, Imagine Pack, and Mafia Pack, joins Jeremy Mountain to tell us about how he and his fellow bachelors planted their flag as business owners and embarked down the entrepreneurial road. First, they started with raffle gifts for groomsmen, but through unexpected turns, they had to pivot to land on their feet and to ultimately make their business a success. This is an impressive journey.
    Mike talks about how he always wanted to have his own business. Whether that was his own invention or owning a company, he always strived to make his unique and creative ideas work.
    Tune in to catch this amazing story unfold.
