  Rod Toth: From Welder to Full-Time Fishing Guide

  Sep 2, 202623 min

  The Onsite Podcast host interviews sturgeon guide Rod Toth after a full day of sturgeon fishing in Chilliwack, BC, where 16 people fished across four boats for eight hours, catching three fish on the host’s boat while Rod’s team landed both the largest and smallest fish. Rod, a guide for 24 years and former welder for 14, explains how he started guiding after being noticed by another guide, and outlines his offerings: sturgeon (mid-March through December), plus salmon, steelhead, and bass, with fall (Sept–Nov) popular for combining half-day sturgeon and half-day salmon due to salmon runs increasing sturgeon activity. He shares future plans to reduce sturgeon guiding due to physical demands, mentions volunteering for steelhead hatchery capture, and promotes booking via bentrods.ca and Instagram (Bent Rods Guiding and Tackle Co.).

  Kari Mansur: The Local Instagram Ad Strategy Most Contractors Have Never Tried

  Aug 24, 202629 min

  In this live Onsite Podcast episode recorded in Chilliwack after the Contractor Growth Seminar, the host interviews Kari from Stampede Sales, a Calgary-based local marketing agency that helps service businesses across the US and Canada acquire customers through hyper-local Instagram ads. Kari explains why he focuses on Instagram as a “blue ocean” attention platform, how landmark-based visuals build familiarity and trust, and how paid ads can target ideal clients more precisely than organic content alone. He discusses using Instagram to capture attention and YouTube to build trust, shares his origin story running ads for his mother’s daycare and shifting from a costly podcast studio to ads, and outlines a messaging process that “peels the onion” to find real pain points and build an offer sheet. They also praise the event’s culture, networking value, and panel discussion.
