The Grey Range Podcast – Ep. 09 w/ Mike Davison – “High Flyers and Deep Divers”
Barton’s Big Country
Mike Davison
In this world, there are all kinds of people. Most live in pursuit of some form of relative safety and comfort, slowly building on past successes and trying not to mess things up too bad. Then there are the outliers, those who look at their lives and see their place in the world and think, “Why?” Rare individuals who see problems as opportunities, who never rest on their personal achievements, and who forsake the safety of the tribe for the potential to uncover the treasures of the unknown.
In this episode, Lucas and I sit down with our mutual friend, and Lucas’ boss, Mike Davison. Mike is the owner of Barton’s Big Country in Grande Prairie, Alberta. But he wasn’t always an entrepreneur, or a top-notch gun seller. His story is analogous to so many who came to Alberta to seek out a better life, and instead found heartbreak, hardship, and trouble they never bargained for. Mike was generous enough to share his story of loss, redemption, success, and how he abandoned the lucrative Alberta oil and gas industry to chase a dream that has become reality.
