Audio Version:

Shane Baum is the representative of one of the greatest lifestyle brands in the world, Leisure Society. When you think of the balance of work and play, he definitely leans hard into play. His background is so different from the life he lives now—from cornfields and tractors in Iowa to pheasant hunting with royalty in the south of France and teeing off at St. Andrews.
